    The Fall of Salem

    Sunlight be the sign cast over this greyshade.
    No color
    Save crimson bleeding.
    Heart to sleeve, we disband the organ donor.
    Feed the intent
    With seed hellbent, mulitply this disaster . . .

    In the blink of an eye,
    Waiting's the only detour in a search for fortune.
    Continuation of the quest yields the success imminent.
    Patience for the knowledge . . . the appendix pending.

    Darkness cast over this greyshade.
    No color
    Save crimson bleeding.
    We collect the scattered shards of rediscovered heart,
    No emulsifier
    Proves sufficent for repair.

    The collapse of lungs stops the breath
    Fall to pieces . . . the ashes scatter . . .

    Over horizon until the new day dawns.
    So called her raven tressels nevermore.
    She is pale apparition, she is Salem.
    Her witchcraft remains unawakened.
    Water logged her wooden tomb,
    Cast away to sea.

    Floating away . . .
    Her memory waterfalls oblivion . . .

    Sunlight be the sign cast over this greyshade.
    No color save crimson bleeding.
    Heart to sleeve, we disband the organ donor.
    Feed the intent with seed hellbent, mulitply
    This disaster.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
