Their Flawless Flaws

Love, Love, Loved the Moyos Lived in the Moyos She sang of scratches She was deaf to matches She heard of a better light But held on to her knight The drumbeat of his life Was none other his wife A poetess by avocation, A rhythmist by profession Like a heart needing a beat She […]

Not In Recorded History 

Deadly droughts drained And bubbled because of A ferocious flash of furore   Let loose were temperatures That made the world fierier Than at any time in noted history   Seas acidifying, species on the brink Of death, the earth barked a bitter welcome To an unwelcoming upheaval of heat and hell
