Qualyxian Quest Apr 2024
Protests on the campuses
Students pitch their tents
Genocide in Gaza
They need deliverance

Free, free Palestine
No more occupation
Hope on the campuses
Hope in education

Election 2024
The times they are a-changin'
Inner Harbor, Baltimore
Rain is rearrangin'

I see her on the train
She touches soft her hair
The languages of Spain
The comforters who care

                    Where?
Qualyxian Quest Apr 2024
I would like to be a shaman
But instead I am a patient
I wish a wounded healer
Lonely, quiet nights

Florida is ignorance
But also lovely beaches
Lightning over the Atlantic
My Mr. Spock kite

I keep on writing poetry
My children growing older
3 prayers for Chicago
2 green lights

Please keep her calm collected
Life is suffering
Help me suffer well
Sor Juana's mystic flight

                    Mexico!
Qualyxian Quest Apr 2024
The darkness around us is deep
People don't understand
Hamlet is a creep
I like the rockin' bands

Prayers for Garrison Keillor
And the Writer's Almanac
Nixon destroyed Cambodia
George W. destroyed Iraq

Smalltown Maryland
Lonely, quiet nights
Vegetarian pizza
Two green lights

Books in my apartment
Music, DVDs
Slowly going forward
Courage. Courage please.

                   Markson!
Qualyxian Quest Apr 2024
Vegetarian pizza
Prayers for Israel
Dr. Robert Coles
Still rings the bell

Leonard Cohen music
I've been to Montreal
I forget my perfect offering
Silence in the hall

Prayers for Wendy Doniger
Thanks for the song
54 and falling
Am I late along?

Gratitude for solitude
Silence be my friend
Vienna in the snow
I do not know the end

                   Forward!
Qualyxian Quest Apr 2024
Reasons to be worried
Election 2024
Go back to the Shadow
Inner Harbor, Baltimore

Jerusalem was brown
Tel Aviv was blue
Tokyo was jazz
Quietly Seattle U.

Mohammed was bipolar
I'm bipolar too
I like the minarets
Rothko green and blue

Please courage when I die
Susan Meek not Sue
I sent him Life of Pi
2072

           Kabbalistic Jews...
Qualyxian Quest Apr 2024
A tale told by an idiot
Signifying nothing
Trumpfucks in the news
The U.S. an Abyss

I don't feel well
Tired. Exoplanets.
To sleep perchance to dream
******* times like this

I just can't be happy
She's not here with me
Pain in my mind
Embers final kiss

               Bliss
Qualyxian Quest Apr 2024
So I don't like Thomas Jefferson
Don't like UVA
Don't want an Empire of Liberty
No nay never nay

Ireland was special
Man said meant to be
Book of Kells, Witherells,
Sail the Irish Sea

Life is Pain, Highness
Death will be release
Istanbul, Istanbul
More than Ancient Greece

Hagia Sophia
Moroccan mint tea
San Francisco Zen
Generation Z
