Unfinished novel

The protagonist
Mr average, with a twist
 mend my ways, be the new evangelist.

Smouldering bridges, of bloods misuse
life chewed, with a missing tooth
one chapter, to make good

this brand new flesh

 


is hard
reducing
to a single
title

difficult
to gouge

but easy
to pierce,

it bleeds
into weeks
trying to
watch
flowers
grow

under
white
suns.

I am Dryad

a child of the earth
a flower of the soil
a voice of the air

a gossamer
breathing air
an amoeba

no reflections
nothing
I am Dryad

I exist not.

a velvete essence.


 
Spun lavender
and rose,
hearted  
like  
vast blue skies  
 
Purposeful  
outstretched arms
wrapping souls  
in simple  
words
 
utterly empathic  
 
Oh, love
 
unsurety, too.  

shearing
deeply


Exploring,
finding myself—

my place.

Adidas

another beer
and
anything
the devil
says I can.

Praise the Lord, and Pass the Chocolate .

I'm fascinated to know
how it feels to die....
without actually doing it.

Hershey's quells that fear, and
I'll trust Jesus
to ambush me in my sleep,

when it's time...
