Dead Inside
to say i'm utterly
devastated is an
understatement
i feel crushed
The day after
i saw our home
will be closing
its doors i was
told Two of my
supportworkers
will have to stop
due to protocols
and regulations
the government
who Wants more
money & power
they always do
it means i'll lose
3/4 of my support
system including
the deep site my
lifeline & you guys
everything familiar
feels like i'm walking
on...

Shots, Shots, And Aftermath Realisations
I’ve always wondered why
violence tastes like
crumbled cigarettes in ashtrays…..
The sound of swept glass
swishes and clinks
bells played by tinkerbelle gone rogue
each scrape and tinkle is met with a silence as red as my eye
as swollen as Jim’s head
as black as Dave’s balls
The sweet scent of peach schnapps lingers on my polo shirt
its collar torn
and stretched
I’m nursing a pint that consists of
three quarters Cuervo and a quarter of
the last dregs of my sanity
Jason sits there...

A Thing Of Beauty
Hold me persephone
It's cold here
Amongst all the muck and mire
Sit with me on this starless night
Lonely wilted sun flowers
Decaying where Eden once stood
Sombre tears scarcely hydrate
Desolate wastelands
Over the distance
Phobos and demos
Marching lockstep
Scream havoc this is mars playground
Mine bones picked clean
Sun bleached monument
Empty eye sockets
Where the worms now reside
It's cold here
Amongst all the muck and mire
Sit with me on this starless night
Lonely wilted sun flowers
Decaying where Eden once stood
Sombre tears scarcely hydrate
Desolate wastelands
Over the distance
Phobos and demos
Marching lockstep
Scream havoc this is mars playground
Mine bones picked clean
Sun bleached monument
Empty eye sockets
Where the worms now reside

Dementia
I wake up in bed
My mind full of fears
Where is my wife?
Then I remember,
She's been gone for 5 years.
I get up and get dressed
Go get something to eat
Suddenly, I realise
My slippers on
The wrong
Feet.
I pop some bread in the toaster
I open the fridge door,
I try pouring some juice
But half goes on the floor.
A man comes to visit
He seems such a nice guy
When he leaves he says 'bye Dad'
But I never had a son, did I?
The reality
Is dawning
My brain's...
My mind full of fears
Where is my wife?
Then I remember,

I get up and get dressed
Go get something to eat

I pop some bread in the toaster
I open the fridge door,
I try pouring some juice

The Doorway to Hell
That night I was extra super fucked up
Fallen through the bottom of my cup
Absolutely resolutely down in the dump
Smashing a liquor bottle on a tree stump
Fuck the world - Said in a whirl
Pining over my lost girl
Farther and farther away – Mile by mile
Sanity unseen in a while
Prepared to jump into traffic: Tragic
Or off a bridge or ridge: Manic
Anything to stop the chaos in my brain: Static
Something-anything: Automatic
So why the hell not visit the doorway to hell
A tree in a forest where every...

Union 404
There once was a vast republic
that for its britches got too big
with a minority so thick...
they voted for a Jersey pig.
That pig was a demented dope
with no way that we couldn't tell
except if you abandoned hope
or got your news straight outta hell.
Dead, at two hundred and fifty,
which is what Krasnov meant to see
with MAGA being so unthrifty
in disregard for liberty!
Some ships of state, instead, are planes,
too afflicted by a gremlin
spiking headway in falsehood chains...

Demise
Anger held out at arms reach
Most touch it just to know
That beyond each worth reaching is another pain to know
But know the all or love just one
is conciousness conceding
Consumation of ones soul
Societies first feeding
Puts the last before the next desire to keep bleeding
As all undone before it
Never ending but not being
Hard enough to hold but something bourne of natural needing
Most touch it just to know
That beyond each worth reaching is another pain to know
But know the all or love just one
is conciousness conceding
Consumation of ones soul
Societies first feeding
Puts the last before the next desire to keep bleeding
As all undone before it
Never ending but not being
Hard enough to hold but something bourne of natural needing

The stench of reality and a reminder to wipe up the blood
caught off guard
lamed by bold blistering sting
wretched dire ache
comes in dreaded waves
fuck, how i still burn
still need you
need the tangled longing
hate myself for
craving it
like I do
tears well up
in a hot slide down
red puffy
pissed off cheeks
swinging by nightmarish tenterhooks
reason sways to and fro
speckling me in blood-loss
viscera in bold stark darkness
it's so easy to forget
how we once thrived in pools of light ...

Is there a GOD
I’m standing in line at the children’s graveyard
I look for my lost son and my beautiful wife
Stand among the most inhumane condition
But im looking for family to set me free
See a sneaker that looks like his
Pull up a rock I’ve found my buried son
Dig like a dog you cant stop me
When i get to him he’s not breathing
I wail out and scream and say is there a GOD
If there is i cant see him
I look for my lost son and my beautiful wife
Stand among the most inhumane condition
But im looking for family to set me free
See a sneaker that looks like his
Pull up a rock I’ve found my buried son
Dig like a dog you cant stop me
When i get to him he’s not breathing
I wail out and scream and say is there a GOD
If there is i cant see him

Life in a circle
So birth seeing a light open and water abiding as we proceed to enter the paradigm to breath in the new form in the new world...
To then leave via a light in the darkness where the waters flow as we leave material with a last breath out of the old world...
To then leave via a light in the darkness where the waters flow as we leave material with a last breath out of the old world...

hollow clouds of depression
my palms burned as soon as I touched the snow
my eyes were blinded by the moonlight
emotions were suppressed under the burden of misunderstanding
relationships caught fire due to the terror of the sun
my walls were lost in emptiness due to the flock of clouds
my dreams drowned in the river of night flowing in the sky
my sleep bloomed like a black lotus in the pillow filled with sadness

Stop Smiling
I
Am
A
Wreck
Bruised and discarded like those old ships
You found me and now what?
Why do you smile?
Everyone passes me by and not give a damn
Not …A…Damn!
You smiled at me
You reached for me and…and
What am I supposed to do?
You don’t understand
I’m a wreck
Your light hurts me
Stop! Smiling!
“Beautiful”
Me?
Beautiful?
Does he not see the bruises I carry?
This eye is black and blue
I did not fall
STOP..SMILING!
It’s starting to rain now
I can feel it...
Am
A
Wreck
Bruised and discarded like those old ships
You found me and now what?
Why do you smile?
Everyone passes me by and not give a damn

You don’t understand

Stop! Smiling!

Beautiful?
Does he not see the bruises I carry?
