troubadour
the scribe would write
holy
the troubadour
should
sing
everything
and should they be the same
they never were
so who wrote the epics
in between
that sometimes sound like holy wit
for
wisdom
and for warning
and come across for pleasure
in
the meeting place
long house
or
fires outside
in each season
when
and where
words shall save
for
entertainment
frankly
plus in telling
or implying
our own gospel
and will you come again
tomorrow
I must be on the way
to the next
place
where is the next place
stay for one more night so
we may sadly
tell you
the next morning
you are kind
for an audience
I shall stay
and gladly so
and so
the word got out through these
the news
rumors of news
what
to be ready for
at home
because of what’s developing
out there
and then
a song with verse
that has no meaning
and then
a song with verse
that has
a good night
for all our sakes
into
our heaven
hope for heaven
wills
tomorrow
by your leave
and mine
and God’s own

Middle Age
x
I’ve been watching
The History Channel about
Medieval times
x
I wonder how it was
How it might be
To work outside
The ruined Coliseum
Or another broken
Roman place,
Knowing that the time before
Was more advanced
Than ours
x
We can look up
Look back
Behold the slowly falling
Structures
That we loot for stone,
For wood for fuel
x
There was a golden age
And if we knew
A golden age before that
And another
x
All better times than hours
We work
Cutting grass
Bearing water
Hoping that the overlords
Should they invade again
Should leave us something,
After

The Wanderer
When not Dion’s song
An older lament about
The way we lived in medieval
Language (translated), too
A thousand years ago and more
In northern climes
After war, famine, disease, and
Dissolution
The end of family
Of all mortal ties
All that was left was the
Wanderer who had to live
On words, on songs
That might eke out
Some charity
In inhospitable days
