Hope
The stillness of
The paused rail
As humans to ants
Transfigured
The stream cascades
She shields him from
The fervour swell
Feeds him hope,
milk from an
Empty breast.

World may survive
World may survive
We will revive
Peace may prevail
The track may carry the rail
Humanity may win
Harmony may be seen
Love and peace may have chance
Let us not forget for it at once

Bush warbler
again the bush warbler
perhaps another stroke
of good luck coming
inspired by
Bush warbler:
shits on the rice cakes
on the porch rail.

Questing Relish
zealous young xenophiles
wail violent utterances
tasked surreptious rail
qualms permit ornaments
nibbling mice livid
kilo joule increments
harped geese fly
every delicate caress
bourne aloft

On Those That Hated 'The Playboy Of The Western World
ONCE, when midnight smote the air,
Eunuchs ran through Hell and met
On every crowded street to stare
Upon great Juan riding by:
Even like these to rail and sweat
Staring upon his sinewy thigh.

On Those That Hated The 'Playboy Of The Western World,' 1907
Once, when midnight smote the air,
Eunuchs ran through Hell and met
On every crowded street to stare
Upon great Juan riding by:
Even like these to rail and sweat
Staring upon his sinewy thigh.
