*Paul Bond* Sanctuary
I wouldn’t
Call
It
An
Affair,
It
Was
Too
Brief,
Too
Light
As
Air.
It
Had
To
Do
With
Where
I stood,
A
Stranger
On
Tintagel’s
Cliff,
So
High,
I allowed
My
Heart
To
Drift,
To
Catch
And
Hold
An
Interval
Of
The
Purest
Gold.

*Change* Cast Bronze 3 7/8" H X 2 1/4" W
Year’s
End,
A
Few
More
Days
To
Spend
In
Unsettling
Nineteen,
Stone
Dumb
Of
What
Will
Come
As
We
Assess
The
Hot
Mess
That
Shadows
Our
Days
In
A
Political
Maze
Of
Crime
And
Lies
By
That
Man
We
Have
Come
To
Despise.
Hold
On,
Until
He’s
Gone,
And
We
See
What
Twenty
Twenty
Comes
To
Be.

I learn
Each
Day
That
I’m
Not
Too
Smart,
My
Life
A
Faulty
Plot
In
A
Book
Not
Necessarily
Worth
A
Look,
But
Another
New
Year’s
Chances
Are
About
To
Start,
So
Have
A
Heart.

Did
Amerigo
Vespucci
Do
A
Sort
Of
Hoochie
Coochie
As
Over
The
Sea
He
Rolled,
Brave
And
Bold?
Did
Christopher
Columba
Perform
A
Snappy
Rumba
When
The
Two
Of
Them
And
Crew,
Having
Nothing
Else
To
Do,
Decimated
Entire
Populations
Of
Yet
Unrecognized
Nations?
Just
By
Chance
Their
Crafty
Dance
Sailed
The
Wrong
Way,
Plaguing
Us
With
Their
Errors
To
This
Day.

Used
Air
Everywhere,
Not
An
Inch
Of
Room
To
Spare,
Hard
To
Find
A
Share
Of
Space
Among
The
Shuffling
Human
Race.
I never
Knew
The
World
Teetered
On
The
Brink,
And
Did
Not
Think
The
Ravaged
Planet’s
Crowd
Of
Souls
Would
Exponentially
Grow,
Leaving
Us
With
No
Place
Left
To
Go.

Today’s
Sky
Brightened
In
Three
Shades
Of
Blue
As
I sit
Here
Without
A
Clue
Of
How
To
Do
The
Day
Ahead
When
I would
Rather
Be
In
Bed.
But
There’s
No
Snow,
So
Out
I’ll
Go
And
Try
To
Supply
The
Holiday
Table,
As
Well
As
I am
Able.

People,
I’m
Not
Teasing,
It’s
Bloody
Freezing.
The
Temperature
In
New
Mexico
Has
Fallen
Below
What’s
Decent
In
The
Recent
Chill,
As
December
Perversely
Will,
To
Ice
This
Bench
Within
An
Inch
Of
Zero,
But
I’m
Too
Cold
To
Get
Up
And
Go.

Listen,
She
Murmured
Low,
Guard
Your
Heart.
This
Is
Only
The
Start,
You’ve
Far
To
Go.
So,
You
Stubbed
A
Toe,
Get
On
With
The
Show,
And
Use
The
Pain.
Remember,
The
Curtain
Always
Rises
Again.

Music
From
Yesterday
Plays
And
I am
There
Again,
Singing
With
My
Friends
As
If
No

What
Else
But
A
Song
Can
Last
So
Long
And
In
Twilight,
Bring
Back
The
Dawn?

*Anton Einsle* Woman Before A Mirror
I hate
To
Say
I’m
Wearing
Weeds.
But
I have
Sartorial
Needs.
Not
To
Sound
Overly
Funny,
I could
Use
A
Chunk
Of
Money.
A
Million
Or
Two
Would
Do,
I’m
Not
Greedy,
I’m
Just
Feeling
Seedy.
How
About
Some
Snappy
Clothes,
So
I can
Strike
A
Pose,
A
Few
New
Hats,
A
Bottle
Or
Three,
And
I can
Sit
Upon
A
Lover’s
Knee 
In
Style,
And
Do
Those
Things
That
Make
Him
Smile.
