Nadir

Killing time
Still they mill around
The blue bloods of injustice 

The faded grey line of injustice
Watch out for the signs
Walk in line
It’s the killing time of injustice

Killing time
Still they mill around
The blue bloods of injustice

Killing time
Still they mill around
The blue bloods of the justice 

The ministers crime begs out for justice
Watch out for the dimes
Step out; resign, resign, resign
It’s the killing time for the justice

Killing time
Still they mill around
The blue bloods of the justice

Nape

Lost and found
Gone to ground
Lost and found again

Lost and found
You're not around
You've gone to ground again

Lost and found
Gone to ground
You're not around again

Lost and  found
I pound to out of bounds
I'm lost and found again

Neap

I was all for looking neat
The painter at your feet
A weekends lost receipt
I put myself to sleep

You were all for being deep
Conscience that you keep
For all their failed deceit
I put myself to sleep

Basis

Scent
The one last probable great imponderability
That calls you back into my life

Scent
That I can pick off the pages, or dissolve 
From another young woman’s photograph

Years have passed
Way beyond absolution
Arches of roses collapsed
Bicycle of joys trundled

Certain as the stones
Laid out before
We, as all others
Caught by institution

Scent
Homogeneous in a few lines of text
That neither you nor I wrote

Scent
Worthy of being named the great imponderable 
That rolls you back into my life

Listen & Observe (Spring)

A creaking door opens
Birds chirp
A solitary eastern cabin
Placed on an island platform
In the middle of a lake

Strings of bells chime quietly
The teacher yells at the young boy
It is time to get up
To sweep clean the boardwalk
Before we jump into the rowing boat
