Much mourned
And widely revered.

So revered,
That when those,
Who knew rhe truth,
Spoke out,
Many refused to hear..

So feared,
That even when they were in the ground,
It took courage
To speak against them.

The funeral is over,
Let the grievers give way to the aggrieved.
Let tears give way to rage.
Let veneration give way to truth.
Let remembrance give way to justice,

It is time.

#Poetry in response to #MastoPrompt #venerate

Excuse me
Would you be so kind
As to keep your
Prideful veneration
Private, please?
I think I really have been
Christ-ed quite enough
For one lifetime.
No thank you
Narcissistic nativity
Carefully masculated
And white.
May I suggest
Some quiet acts of charity,
Some elder care,
Perhaps a revolution?
To that I could give
An amen.

It used to be god/s
(We had imagination then)
Or the old people
Connecting life to lifetimes.
It used to be
The pull and push
Of seasons on our bones.
It used to be the dead.

What do we venerate now?
Next-day delivery.

We are strange and ugly
Narcissi at the water's edge.

Someone should push us in.

from venal
to veneration
passing the collection bowl
around your ringing singing

When evil's revered
by so many countrymen,
how do I find hope?

Millard had no interest in seeing the body, the way his father had fallen forward on the desk, his head slamming down so hard Sarah, his assistant, had come rushing in. Millard had no interest in seeing how his father had drooled onto the papers on his desk, how his cheek was so badly stained from the spilled ink the undertaker suggested a closed casket.

“Just burn him," Millard told him.

“Do you mean cremation, sir?”

"Isn't that what cremation is?"

Animal, mineral, or venerable?

I venerate duckweed
here on the river. Each
tiny thallus a two-leaf

sacrifice; self-abandoned,
floating downstream
in their lazy battalion;

one of the numberless
silent scraps of green,
massing as unstoppable

bloom; wave after wave;
peppery food for thought
and ducks. And, they say,

even for Martians, too
(if we let them aboard
our Abandon Earth-ship.)

Cold descends fast
Smothering my senses
The wind whips up
In a fell voice upon
The wintered mountain
Who are your stars,
The voice rasps
Rough to my ears
My stars are those
Who I venerate, my Gods
Deities of hearth, of war
Of fire, of the sea, of healing
I say
And what of I, child
Skadi asks, voice chill
Sending ice running sharp
Through my shivering veins
Can you venerate me?
Can you love winter?

It was a small service in the old, yet beautifully adorned country church. The light poured in through the ornate stained glass window.

At the front, near the white marble altar, the polished hardwood casket was adorned with his photo and a colourful assortment of flowers, the brass handles on the casket gleaning in the sunlight.

The mourners filed in and sat in carved oak pews, the floral details showing the work of a truly artisan craftsman.

He was man of faith who would come to venerate the cross on a Sunday.

This is what the community saw. A gentle and kind man who loved his family and showed his piety. A larger than life figure whom everybody loved.

If only they knew the terror he wreaked on those who he was supposed to care for.

The disdain he had for his adoring wife and the contempt with which he treated his children was hidden from view. Drunken rampages and years of psychological trauma inflicted by his alcohol fuelled hands never spoken about for fear of retribution.

The community would grieve. For his family, it meant an end to the tyranny and coercive control.

For them, his death was their salvation.

And for a while, could we just pretend
That the Humans do not bend and bow
To Personality but instead
#venerate Character for that is
The true definition of nature
And in our lives when it becomes thus
the Character uber alles, then
We can start to plan, our first contact
But in the meanwhile, let us play on
For to them, we are still alien

#Venerate

I walk the earth,
Across everyday
Familiar places.
My routine
Is clockwork and
Unextraordinary
In many ways.
However,
Just sometimes
I become aware
Of the sanctity
Of Life.
And in those moments
I know that
I am standing on
Holy ground.

Atop the streetlights
Wreathed in rain
The Slender Men
Are back again
Clad in black
With hollow eyes
They rend the air
With silent cries
They loom so tall
Their arms extend
When weather lifts
They will ascend
But until then
They stand in state
Faces upturned,
They #venerate
