POETRY

QUE SERA

SEE HIS IMAGE

fragile crystal eyes
street people load bearing wall
God’s worn graffiti

YOUR TEMPLE

Following the line
My signature touched your face
But story was yours

HIS TEMPLE

Adam stretched out long
Fallen Sistine siesta
Wrinkled with crow’s feet

THIRD IN
Seth’s cross breed all fell
Adam and Eve begat well
The salvation tell

OPENING

Hands steeple fingers
I saw no temple therein
Unfolded palms turn
