Ties That Bind

—for Eleni

O

Beautiful the unbounded

Clichés, the limitless 

Vows of lovers, the ties that keep

Darkness light-years away from girdling

The unbound earth

In a single leap.

Of Love's Eternal Feast

Oh, dear lusting ones—

time and time again insatiable

countless gourmands gorge themselves

before regurgitating, lick their lips and go back

for seconds.

Brief Meditation on the Nature of Being

I don’t have to

Wonder when I look on

The unmoving grass

Hopper fro

Zen on my window sill

Why the more I look,

The stiller

Everything becomes.

Huuklyeand Cinquor on Running with the Devil

Hell,

It’s easier than walking barefoot

Over hot coals on the way

To paradise.

Moderator’s comments: I wonder if Cinquor had the Anastenarides in mind when writing this iconoclastic little piece.

Ancient Vessel

of

the

heart’s

age

old

turbulence

over

flowing

over

the

edge

to

ward

a

new

found

earth.

Huuklyeand Cinquor on Ingratitude

When we have more than we need,

We never say we have enough;

When we have less, we always forget

What we had enough of.
