a wind is blowing...
it started as a light breeze....
soon the walls will fall.

"verbose in absentia"

evasive words
dodge my grasp,
ensuring that I will fail;

my mind's a field
of empty Grey,
and confusion still prevails.

For F. Scott Key, written during the Bush years as an anti-war protest poem. At the time, I was reticent to share it, but it seems as relevant as ever.

A voice cries out from the
abyss,
Below all suffering and chaos;
Where whispered words
Scream silently;
See smirking smiles
Belie loathsome loving
