Thrice crows

Ants in the galley
Weevils in the rice
Mouse raiders on the stranded ark
‘Hi Ho Silver’ echoes in the berths
Still Noah withholds the broken key

I linger too by the crystal eye
Providence’s uncaring ball
Frazzled fate carelessly
aims her rickety finger
Undermanned by our fecundity
Slashes her shabby scythe
Through the fraying weft
Dealing death in job lots

No midas hoard will set you free
To dance secure this dour night
This my own voice thrice crows
To guide the irksome dawn

 First Book   Second Book Third Book
Brother mine  Thy  Days Sibling
Damaged good  What shape a poet Herculean expectations
Barrel bottom fruit  Creative Burying Ressurection
Bottom line  Regret Times End
On the dying edge  Spider Time In Memoriam : Twice Round
Biting Free  Earth Turns Eight Pints
Id rider  Old Dog Sinking Heart : Drop
Only worms will know you better  Eye to Eye Swim : Drift
Thrice crows  Autumn Coming Home
Friends in High Places  The night the church burnt Passage
Poet bones  Last Strand Speed Crazy
Katadesmoi  Ashes to Ashes Sinking Heart
