Kantian Imp

If Kant has a Nocturnal Emission 

must he inform the Constable?

An imperative commission,

because antinomies annul autonomy.


Faust's dog was no Poodle


But a black Dachshund 

Immanuel walks punctually

across the King's mount daily

as motley Owls soar aloft.

Air

Like pollen in the air

she tickles my nose hair

and wherever I may lay

she lays.

Heaven's Majesty

The constellate crown 

blooms brilliant to sight

a crystalline bow

of radiant smile

above Hunter's shield.

Her stellar tiara

waxes finely swift 

in starstruck eyes.

Winter's Cusp

Plumes of silver flit

with crisp gusts 'cross

blue scrolls above


Light hews, gold with grey,

as bonny birds trill 

sullen on stark limbs.

Mocking Muses

When words play cruel coquettes

and you're drawn to stubs

like puddle soaked cigarettes

the glacial hush snubs.     


Where is the tinder

for sonorous bonfires?

Pegasus' canter

sears what inspires.


It stills the inner ear

with apathy's drone

and the dumbshow vents clear

the muted chill of bone.
