“There lives a weeper
in each of us-
a silent mourner honoring our despair
when our willingness slain by helplessness
continues to resurrect to be slaughtered again”

“The Poe Toaster by Stewart Stafford
They call me The Poe Toaster,
A sixty-year mourner, no boaster,
With roses and cognac, I paid homage,
To gothic Quarles� eternal foggage.
Some call me ghoul, stalker, graver,
Obsessed fan, tombstone trader,
Let him sleep unbroken, still his ghost,
Tomahawk, overdue a tribute toast.
Three roses; in-law, Eddy and wife,
Cognac, exorbitant luxury in life,
Relax, for I was kind, my friend,
Pouring amontillado until the end.
Why I stopped, if I'm woman or man,
Are mysteries for C. Auguste Dupin,
Shipwrecked on Night’s Plutonian shore,
Allied with the silken darkness of yore.

“Dead Rite by Stewart Stafford
While he lives, hope still clings,
The hereafter remains a mystery,
If life is but struggle and toil,
Then death is hushed serenity.
Things he treasured when alive,
Trinkets to divide up as booty,
The body still lying in repose,
Nothing but a fading memory.
Lay him down in a mossy grave,
Heads bowed in a muttered eulogy,
Then back away with platitudes,
To the nearest exit from the cemetery.

“The Feminine Enigma by Stewart Stafford
Even lying in repose in her casket,
Her aura still a billowing haze,
A coffin lid no barrier to new facts,
She came back on her funeral day.
Creeping sentinels of perspective,
Building up new memory mosaics,
A spider's web of word and deed,
Descending Prozac of the prosaic.
The labyrinthine riddle is female,
Females are perennially arcane,
Puzzles that don't beg solutions,
Evening stars of the astral plane.
