supersitions

curse the air, tie the reeds.
hit the little man who doesn’t speak.
caress the palm, heed the lines.
they know too little, like you know rhymes.

yellow paper vermillion ink.
doesn’t glow, a charm for show.
sticks of gum and sticks of spice.
sweet to smell – hidden vice.

free the birds & free the fishes
redeem your sins but its gone like ashes.
your vedic hymms & pagan chants
impotently solemn – gravely blunt.

rant

I am tired. exhausted, worn out, weary, fatigued, dog-tired, dead beat, bone-tired, ready to drop, drained, zonked, wastes, enervated, jaded, bushed, whipped, bagged, knocked out, wiped out, pooped, tuckered out.

But, all the more I count it a joy to suffer as it was to be a blessing to those who are in Christ. Now, I strain forward, but in a while I would be amassed with high strength. And though I groan because of mortal agony, I would soon be endowed with joy to praise.

Now praise to God. Blessing, honor, glory & power to Him who never sleeps! Amen.

1 COR 13:7

ENGLISH

from men the sin
by sin were death
with death the pain
through death hell gained
with pain so mercy
through mercy came grace

nocturnal rhythm

take seven steps and jump of the cliff,
the spirits that left shall return again.
the marathon run and the late night song
her ghost that haunts and lovely elves that taunt.

say a prayer. tell it to God.
list of sins and devil schemes.
round-mice squeaks as they play wildly.
seems like nothing has changed.

but verily, who knows?
