Titan

Crossed by acid rain
hand rubbed ego
sheds a copper patina,
hovers over crowberries
and ornamental plum.

The age-neutered titan
in time-worn dreams
remakes his past
divorces doowop tunes,

fog settles in the valley
upturns quantum cells
grants the mist of passing.

Headlines Parrot Night Tales

Ominous as storm clouds
coupling in the dark
shadows swoop
across the Wolf Moon face,

ravens fall from grace to ground
beat at window glass
rasp the wooden sill
rip shingled roof to shreds.

My Daddy always said
crowded creatures go mad
and humans likely will
as their numbers cross the bar.

Forests fill with people
clearing trees and game
life breeds Hitchcock scenes
mirrored in daily news.
