Ayatollah, Ayatollah.

Ayatollah, Ayatollah!

Why are the streets of Tehran

painted green?

Ayatollah, ayatollah,

Why does Iran bleed?

Why is there a sea of black?

Why are the streets paved in blood?

Ayatollah, ayatollah,

the people have called a jihad.

They have pricked your flesh,

and you have bled,

a mere, mortal man you [...]

Puppet Master’s Masquerade

Marionettes all dance on parade,

trade the angel wing for nylon string,

at the Puppet Master’s masquerade.

A devil’s charade twice cloaked in shade,

Novus Ordo Seclorum

Dear Julius,

Julius Cœsar, Rome doth burn. Show no fear. The slow laissez-faire fires of yesteryear will still heat the whorish coffers to the mourn. The gold coins of many kings shall yield to the melt, e pluribus unum. On the morrow, the Alchemist will gather [...]

Tallie Anderson

Tallie Anderson,
Kokumthena has cast her loving net,
and brings you close to heart,
Fear not the Misignwa on your journey,
Grandmother’s skeemotah will protect you.
Grow your wings Tallie,

the birds of Thunder fly by your side,
the gates of Heaven will open for you,
your trial of tears ends here.
Kokumthena’s skeemotah is yours
to keep. But she must [...]

The Farrier’s Daughter

The Farrier’s Daughter

‘Twas the Farrier’s forge that birthed the blade,

his blood called out for revenge,

at the Farrier’s wife’s grave a vow was made.

The Farrier, of weaponcraft did he forbade,

his wife, murdered years ago by his handicraft, on her deathbed did whinge,

‘twas the Farrier’s forge [...]

False Prophets

“False Prophets”

I want to rummage through your garage sale,

take the memories that mean the most to you,

claim them for my own.

I want to taste your emotions,

savor everything from the

bitterest deeps of the Marianas yesterdays to

the stigmatic sweet highs of tomorrows.

I want to [...]

voz

Piensa que

hablo con un acento.

¿Piensa que

pienso con un acento también?

Mañana,

voy a sentarme

en silencio

y

a escribir.

Con cada párrafo,

Caballo Blanco (revision)

La tierra tiembla
para recordarme
de un sueño pasado
: de una manada
de caballos salvajes
sus cascos golpean
la tierra
y en cada pisada
anuncian al mundo
: “Es aquí donde el cielo termina
y esto
es aquí donde nació la Gaia.”
El caballo en punta
se detuvo brevemente,
y su manada siguió galopando,
y él me dijo,
podría encontrarme conmigo mismo
en alguna parte
en los senderos de polvo
que los [...]

Because poetry was meant to be spoken…

An audio recording of ‘Caballo Blanco.’

La tierra tiembla

de un sueño pasado
: de una pandilla de los caballos salvaje
sus cascos encontran la tierra y
en cada pisada
anuncian a el mundo
: “Aquí es donde el cielo termina

es donde estuvo nato la Gaia. “
El lidér de los caballos se detuvo brevemente,
y su manada galopó más lejos,
y él me dijo,
podría encontrarme en alguna [...]
