R.I.P.
Yesterday
My brain
Was wrought
Like iron
In, and on, fire
Shaped
And hammered
Into a multitude
Of thoughts
And like iron
Today
I
Rust in peace

I Want To Go To America
Funny to think
That ive staggered
In the same staggering footsteps
Of smugglers, thieves, and vagabonds
A non Bermudan Triangle
On the America Ground...

Preposterous
In my nightmares
of dark's puberty
as the shadow grows
struts a carrion crow
with all the pomp
and desolate eyes
of stone-beaded evil
with preposterous praise
and inuendoes
of egotism living in a cave
of dark's puberty
as the shadow grows
struts a carrion crow
with all the pomp
and desolate eyes
of stone-beaded evil
with preposterous praise
and inuendoes
of egotism living in a cave

Flooded with hurt
My face was flooded with sadness and hurt.
I cried today.
I cried until I couldn’t breathe.
I cried until I fell asleep.
I cried today.
I cried until I couldn’t breathe.
I cried until I fell asleep.

JUST BREATHE (5-15-2021, Palm Springs, California)
just breathe
breathe in
slow
hold
let go
breathe out
as slow
release
let go
all thought
all noise
within without
release
fall ever
deeper
into peace
let go
just breathe
breathe in
slow again
hold
breathe out
as slow
still mind
clear mind
clear all
release
ever deeper
into peace
simply
let go
of everything
and all
just breathe
breathe in
slow
hold
let go
breathe out
as slow
release
let go
all thought
all noise
within without
release
fall ever
deeper
into peace
let go
just breathe
breathe in
slow again
hold
breathe out
as slow
still mind
clear mind
clear all
release
ever deeper
into peace
simply
let go
of everything
and all
just breathe

The Black Horse
The America ground, without recourse
Where smugglers, thieves, and vagabonds so coarse
Woulds't quaff, ale, or gin, at The (dubious) Black Horse

Killing the Catch
Asbestos kind of love.
Tiny particles
filling the heart
and lungs
destroying slowly
never really knowing
the actual long term
damage it will cause.

Move Along Folks
Invisible.
Nothing
to see.
Standing there
patiently,
waiting on
visibility or
at least a little
transparency.
