For no real reason, this is entitled # 7And there is rain.
Dance in its silken cloth
lift velvety scent to the nostrils.
Dance without hindrance.
unencumbered in the quickened grass.
Dance, now - today -
Tomorrow's rain
is crone gray.

~In Memory of~
Buffalo Firefighter Jonathan S. Croom
and
Lt. Charles W. "Chip" McCarthy, Jr.
who perished early Monday morning in the line of duty.Firemens Prayer
When I am called to duty, God
Wherever flames may rage
Give me strength to save a life
Whatever be its age.
Let me embrace a little child
Before it is too late
Or save an older person from
The horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest shout,
and quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling
To give the best in me,
To guard my friend and neighbor
And protect their property.
And if, according to Your will,
I have to lose my life,
Please bless, with your protecting hand,
My family and my wife.

In Memoriam
If you have heard any of the tracks from the “eclectic” or “the Legend of Sleepy Hollow” CD’s, you heard the work of Bill Hicks.
I sat for hours in front of a microphone reading my poetry over and over and over again –until I thought I had the words right.
Bill was my sound guy. He listened to all of those tracks over and over and over again. He engineered each one in order to achieve the best sound quality that could be managed from two home PC’s. It was his idea to add sound effects. He made the “Halloween” track into something special, just as he did on “Linda’s Favorite Story” and other tracks. He brought the same talents to the table with the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” too.
I teased him that he was “The Sound Guy of the Universe” a reference to the Ruler of the Universe web site.
I only knew Bill in the confines of the internet. Never saw him. Never spoke with him. And yet when it came to making a spoken word CD, we were on the same page.
Bill Hicks passed away today.
The silence is deafening.

Found Poem #2
There is a poem
in there
somewhere
Words
righteous
hurling protests
ecstatic
howling
somewhere in here
in the heavy stillness
before insight
sparks.
