Night blends to day and day into night,Yet my world is one of perpetual light.I hear the world snoring outside my door,Why oh why can't I sleep, I implore!The sheep creep around me like dark-eyed raccoons.Sputtering spirits rise up from lagoons.My eyes are chafed raw with an awful friction,But still sleep escapes me in this w...

The Politics of ExileHunching on the ice at the top of the world,While gnawing thoughtfully on Caribou bones,Their leader, standing next to a flag unfurled,Secured to the hard rime with jagged lodestones."Wicked world!" he spat between rotting teeth,His head nodding like a broken gourd."Evil world!" rasped the Icemen crowded ...

Let HimHe's mad you know.Leading a revolution in His mind.Some say a man ahead of His time,But really there's no reason or rhyme.He may die, Centurion, shall we stop Him?Should we intercede?Should we stop His pell-mell race,Towards calamity through deed?No let Him go.Let Him!Let Him walk free.If it's death that He seeks,It's ...
