And taste the

Salty blue water chokes
Arms and legs treading
Head back trying to stay afloat
Gulping for air
Ocean tosses this rag doll
Looking through water's window pane . . . more

On a street corner in Bagdad
A little boy sits near a bombed out car.
Absently rubbing the fragment of a toy.
Is he hoping for a genie to appear
Or a magic carpet to carry him

Tell me.
Tell me. I implore each of you.
Tell me, to whom do I appeal the verdict,

One brief moment caught in the balance,
lies the wind chime above the door,
harbinger of passage,
cacophony of inharmonic chords
that lie harmonic within us;
In the balance,

The Secret Life of Beetles
All winter they manifest at the corner
Of the eye, their spindles
Aquiver, a pinprick rhythm of
Footfalls like nothing human;
Nothing and then
Suddenly this dun beetle . . . more

You're only twelve,
little boy.
What were you thinking?
You wait behind bars

Bars so different from the monkey bars
on the playground of your youth.

In his form of the Merlin Falcon
He had flown over the world
To confirm what his vision had told him

First virgin tour of the damned war,
And had he time in the sharp split
Second to think it through it would
