Reign of the White Elephant

Reign of the White Elephant
He sat in
the barren wasteland
where the kings
manufactured
a full mouth
of golden teeth,
 golden bridges,
and barricades.
Well he was
a son of
a king.
Now he was
no victim
to greed.
He never slept
beneath the weight
of the mocking sound
of all
that is wretched.
He followed the
chain of smoke
unraveling like that
of a shedding snake
 leaving its uncomfortable
dead shell on the ground
marked with tattoos
proclaiming the reign
of the white elephant.
The trigger was pulled
says the story of old
and there was peace
yet again.
How we mourn
for this loss,
for nothing
has come
without cost.


Art will be hidden where I see fit.
Seek it.

Define its Value

Nothing
read
clearly through
the warped
glass structure
that I crafted
to contain
this earth
this season.
All I want
is
outside
my footprints
quickly fading
as
the
seaweed soaked chemicals
reduce their
carved out form.
 A new pattern
creases the sand.
It
Lines
 the inevitable
constant shifts
of wrath,
of fear,
 of peace.
Seems
the face
is worth
exactly
nine thousand
and sixty two
dollars.
But is it
really so?



Art will be hidden where I see fit.
Seek it.
