midnight
riders,
they
brought their
Bibles, some their
Book of Shadows, drank
spiked Pagan ciders,

they built
sacred fires,
appointed ghost
writers, joined hands
around the oak tree, New
Age Spirituality abiders, one,
an adept, Jesus Wept.

I find most of your pieces mesmerizing and always imagine the most incredible landscapes and strong, unique characters.

Sage, you ever seem to fascinate and entice and, in this instance, remind me that some years ago I attended a small Unitarian Church nestled in the trees and wild life and more than a few biophysicists and the likes of Handel, where I had the good fortune to make friends with the young minister (a renegade Catholic). Until alas he was transferred to another state. And I'm sure that on more than one occasion during our march for Civil Rights we spiked and sipped a
few ciders. On one occasion I said to him that my favorite Biblical verse was "Jesus wept," to which he said, "Yes, and the shortest."
Thanks for the reminder. -gene.

The more I read this, the more I get out of it; perhaps I am letting my imagination get the better of me but I feel the deeper meaning of your poem somehow; or at least my interpretation of it. Thank you, Sage. Love and best wishes,

Regis

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
