Our age condemns inquiry
Our age condemns
Inquiry beyond faith’s pale
As sin.
Memes, In Memoriam Eleanor of Aquitaine
The Paris years, 1137-’47
On King Arthur’s myth
How myth sustains ghosts!
Bury the Sibyl’s adage.
Let Arthur be dead.
Haiku, In Memory of Eleanor of Aquitaine,
On the reach of the Sibyl’s adage
Ah, Time…
Ah, Time,
You thief in the storehouse of memory.
How you crowd and cloud the brains!

Famines in Normandy
Fall fell fruitfully.
This year it saved the poor from
Death at hunger’s bowl.
