Legacy
Past power within boils
The barely felt vibrations
Emotion resides here
The moss of life incarnate
Duality of the ages
What once was
Will be again
It is now
With the certainty of gravity
Time presses on us all
Survivors bay at the moon
Joyous and free
In the absence of immediate death
Screaming aloud in fear
That the echoes will fade
A Familiar
Companion long standing
At ease and at rest
Upon my shoulder
Pressing down on my chest
A shadowy chill thought
Unable to shake
Foreboding and frightening
A terrible weight
Why Dear Death,
Do you nuzzle so tight?
You echo in my inner thoughts
As I settle for the night
New Whores
Technology allows for
A shinier coat of varnish
Over the cancer-stricken surface
Of the new whores
Deeper layers and sophistication
Take longer to reveal
What has not changed
Since the time of the Pharoahs
