About Me

My photo
Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

Railroad Nocturne

A stander, cremains, clairvoyant wanes
Jung's crisper a sigil infarction remains
Outside Venus' transit sextant zenith sliced in space
of remote kneecaps a lone motorcyclist shivers the lanes.

Scotch broom huffs, rains, shade through lace
Waste piles humble, awake vision to arctic range,
Eclipse koto partial longest shortest days of the night year, rings of spruce chant humble,
Deranged Denali and Hood over suburban neon and melange.
