The loss of the poems have put me up against myself and . . . God . . . I feel like I've been acting like an upset infant, thus . . . this . . .


I stand in the substructure of my spirituality
near the downstroke of backsliding ways
heady, cold, northerly winds
seals me forever in my conundrum
lightning flashes and thunder responds
Hell and Heaven battling it out
I'm frozen where I stand
as the solar system goes utterly, confoundedly, berserk
I refuse to give the ground
I stand upon
STAND YOUR GROUND the battle cry
my head held high, chin thrust out
go ahead if you must
take a shot

but let God go first
He deserves the first shot
