Hurtling head over heel


01 Dec

Hurtling head over heel toward the Earth, a
Meteoroid begins to sizzle and smoke,
While far below in Tuscany, there stands a
Pagan woodcarver near his window,
Staring out into the starlit night.
“I wish I may…
I wish I might
Be blessed with a child by this meteorite.”
He forks the sign of the evil eye at the cold moon,
And knows his wooden Frankenstein will arise soon.

Unknown to all


01 Dec

Unknown to all,
I sit in the hall,
Inside a large grandfather clock.
I am the one who collects your crumbs
Late at night to cook in my wok.
