Incident At Bohemia

Czech Republic & Russian Disinformation

Well, what’s become of them now?

The ones who put on

The keynotes of laughter… who

Shared the boxed-in window seat

When restrained

From hot-hoofing the parquetry?

Still there, where the fallen pieces

Of sky and the esoteric

Storm lash the rafters!

Perhaps a graven image hides

Behind the ‘new dawn’

Entourage

As the every-day shellfire

Continues

Peppering the rear door.

A Mystic Moment

Ghana, LGBT Discrimination

Thinking about

The ones

I’ve loved

Before – time

Passed

Slowly

Parking its

Polyphonic

Pork-pie

Hat

In a field of

Verboten stone.
