Western Steppes: March 2008
http://westernsteppes.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
At the All Saints’ Day Parade,. A host of the blessed. March down the boulevard, a creek. Of meek, forthright faces. And simple tunics. Here. And there, the brown-gray array. Is augmented by a buckler, a milk-pail,. Fishermen, bishops, and midwives. All pass, pleasantly enough,. Until the crush of martyrs. Comes crowding the procession’s end. A quarry-full of stones. Clement is dragging. His anchor, and Vitus is wheeled. In a cauldron. Agatha steps gingerly,. Balancing her sliced breasts like dinner rolls.

Manville Tabletalk: Our President: the Leader of the Free World
http://manvilletabletalk.blogspot.com/2009/09/our-president-leader-of-free-world.html
He who loves not wine, women and song, remains a fool his whole life long." - Martin Luther. Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Our President: the Leader of the Free World. Meanwhile, President Obama apologized to the United Nations for his country, and naively delivered the United States over to the whims, demands, and control of the UN. Wake up, America.

Western Steppes
http://westernsteppes.blogspot.com/2009/04/jane-kenyon-needle-grandmother-you-are.html
Jane Kenyon, "The Needle". Grandmother, you are as pale. As Christ's hands on the wall above you. When you close your eyes you are all. White - hair, skin, gown. I blink. To find you again in the bed. I remember once you told me. You weighed a hundred and twenty-three,. The day you married Grandfather. You had handsome legs. He watched you. Working at the sink. The soft ring is loose on your hand. I hated coming here. I know you can't understand me. I'll try again,. Like the young nurse with the needle.
