William F. DeVault

Based on international law and multiple accounts, I’d have no trouble considering the US sinking of the Dena a malicious war crime. Thank you, Sri Lanka, for saving at least some of the sailors we tried to murder. #warcrimes

That the monsters inhabiting our government are using eschatological BS to send our troops to die in foreign lands is a horrendous taking of the Lord's name in vain. It is beyond criminal. #wwIII #iranwar

Wars are fought for the right to write the histories. The poets always win. #poetrysky

rough night...but something true has come of it #poetrysky

a short poem I just formed. #poetrysky #author

pain is proof of life
too many losses
but not enough for despair
to own me
merely for it to annoyingly
hump my leg
like a terrier starved for attention

in honor of Larry Jaffe and Carlo Parcelli...

friend, poet, and brother Lawrence George "Larry" Jaffe, whom I have known for over 30 years, passed a few days ago. so here is my tribute to him. #poetrysky #eulogy #author

Done and posted. I hate wasting time.

why wait? Here is my read of my poem "Conformity", written in tribute to Allen Ginsberg. #poetrysky #author #Ginsberg100

granted. I will record a reading this evening and post it.

I wrote this for a 100th birthday volume for Allen Ginsberg, coming out later this year, and liked it so much I decided to share it here and now. If you ask nicely, I may do a reading in a few days. #poetrysky #author #poem #conformity

I received very strong feedback on this poem, about a doomed romance, entitled "We kissed as criminals" from Kintsugi. #poetrysky #romance #love #booksky #author

Seeing evidence that Musk’s Starlink has been used to undermine the political process and Ukrainian defense, we realize we cannot trust the leadership. I am calling for the US to nationalize Starlink.

make America safe again? jail the pedophiles and their enablers.

from Kintsugi. you cannot earnest say I love you to someone without leaving behind a piece of your soul when the illusions fade. #poetrysky #booksky #author #romance #hope

I am haunted by the evil we have allowed to fester in our presence. #poetrysky #booksky #epsteinadministration

I wrote this a few years back. even recorded it. but for some reason or other, key lines in it rose in me as I went over the allegations and evidences in the Epstein files. I will let it do my talking for me. #poetrysky #poem #evangelist #author #booksky

I note the new list that Bondi released of “all government officials and politically exposed persons” from the Epstein files includes misspellings of celebrity names and others as irrelevant as Cher, Diana Ross, and Marilyn Monroe. DOJ is flailing to cover their butts. #epsteinfiles #doj

and for my final offering this Valentine's Day, I give you, ironically, a poem about a relationship where I have been eternally, frustratingly, friend-zoned. #poetrysky #love #romance #booksky #author

for Valentine's Day, from the miracle volume that is "liaison" #poetrysky #booksky #romance #passion #author

for Valentine's Day... #poetrysky #booksky #author #NewYork #Panther

while I do not count the Damascus poems in my collection as part of a cycle, I did number them. each possesses a separate charm and vision from a relationship nearly 30 years ago. #poetrysky #poetry #romance #author #booksky

one of my more awarded pieces...from 2001...a complex birth from many inspirations, many muses, although one editor called me an obscurantist for using the word brandywine. sigh. #poetrysky #romance #authorsky #valentinesday #poem

from my upcoming volume Ukraine is a Woman, a little reflection for Valentine's Day. #poetrysky #booksky #author #romance #unrequited

I am glad that Vladyslav Heraskevych stood by principle, even at the cost of his qualification for the Winter Olympics. Taking a stand and commemorating fellow Ukrainian athletes that should have been with him, instead of killed by the Russian war machine. @winterolympics.bsky.social #Ukraine

I think I'll watch Bad Bunny at halftime, instead of the unrepentant pedophile. BBs music is much better anyway. #superbowl

If you support this racist, misogynist, criminal regime, do not buy my books. But I invite you to broaden your mind, your heart, your soul by going to the Internet Archive snd downloading, or reading, woke poetry by a New Generation Beat Poet Laureate. Try Kintsugi... archive.org/details/@wil...

let the Founding Fathers be found once more. let Christ back into Christianity. from Kintsugi "Anthem". #poetrysky #booksky #poet #poem #America #revolution #NBPF #resist

in light of new revelations, perhaps my line in "American Anthemathema" should haver read "pedophilic cannibals" and not "pedophilic carnivores". Oh well, lost opportunity.

frrom Kintsugi. written during the Cairo protests a few years back, but relevant today. #poetrysky #booksky #author #Cairo #revolution #America #Minneapolis #LosAngeles
