Who We Are

"The depths of people and the sea
Can't be measured", so they say;
The blunt edge of a knobkerrie
Or a Centurion who slays

A heathen village at a word
A mugger's club or the sword
Of a noble Roman lord,
Shite like that gets disinterred

If one tries to sift the text
Of man's essen-tial progress.

Excerpt

"I didn’t make the world I leave you with,   
he said, and then, being poor, he left me   
only this world"

- from Arise, Go Down by Li-Young Lee

retreat

Darkness comes, a rolling tide
 running down the hills like ink
and none but ghosts now walk beside
while hunger and slow madness slink
behind.

muse

Dawn compels me to retire,
a quilted sleep-song says 'forget';
but i won't give slumber's pyre
the last remains just yet.
