Remembering
The moment I felt Death courting you
my rib cage collapsed—
curled as a conch until fossilized
around my heart
I crumbled into childhood—
became the strange little girl
always alone
talking to herself
on the playground
thinking she was whispered
a safe haven of hush-holy clouds—
relieved to slip away unnoticed
into a detached solitude
seeking only shades of rock
beneath a surface no touch—
nor even Life could reach
We burgeon most
from the...

AN AFTER THOUGHT
Have you ever took the time out of your daily life?
To just stop and listen to the very intellectual thoughts, that sometimes crosses the mere depth of your mind touching and pulling at your soul of souls. As you alone have an intellectual conversation one on one with thyself in mind heart and spiritual soul. For through this journey of oneself we rediscover thyself in more ways then ONE, as we slowly begin to separate our mind from our emotions of the nocturnal primal thoughts of mere fear and doults, as we become more and...

Risky Truth and Lies
The Truth or
Lie like a dog
Truth sets you free
But at what cost
Lying may save you
But it may get you
In trouble later on
So lie at your
Own Risk or
Tell the truth
At your:
Own Risk!
Lie like a dog
Truth sets you free
But at what cost
Lying may save you
But it may get you
In trouble later on
So lie at your
Own Risk or
Tell the truth
At your:
Own Risk!

Rhyme
I'm honestly modestly trying to create my policy
My fallacy flawlessly is completely faultlessly
My mind thoughtlessly unconsciously will create words implausibly
My thinking unlawfully dishonestly was heard raucously
My igniter, my lighter will make things burn brighter
I'm a writer, outsider, and a winning prizefighter
I'm a collider, end of the divider, and the ultimate decider
I'm a provider, one useful confider, and your friendly self rider
Too much lumber, I encumber and become a lost forgotten tumbler
It's a bummer, end...

DUP'LICITY
Always wandering off
to become someone else
as if your comings and goings
and their goings and comings
each offering excuses for absences
didn't add up into the ridiculous
ruse we're well aware of
Who will you be
attempting to deceive
but failing to fool
today?
Know that regardless, whether
your many selves are sleeping
or one is moded manic-
there's no need to panic;
Life has been going on just fine ...
to become someone else
as if your comings and goings
and their goings and comings
each offering excuses for absences
didn't add up into the ridiculous
ruse we're well aware of
Who will you be
attempting to deceive
but failing to fool
today?
Know that regardless, whether
your many selves are sleeping
or one is moded manic-
there's no need to panic;
Life has been going on just fine ...

Nonna
She was barely five feet tall with a personality twice that height.
I only remember her with beautiful snow white hair and a devilish wit.
She came to the states at nineteen speaking no English
and only a sixth grade education.
She wasn’t afraid of hard work and while her family had money back home that wasn’t the case anymore.
She met nonno later in life than was typical for a girl of that time and married him against her father’s wishes.
They were working class folk and raised their family with old country traditions while...

A windswept crush te secret
The secret starts to twirl
around in circles aimlessly
Or is it just me?
An imagined fantasy?
The wind swells
like the loving pigeon does
wanders like a proud dandy
Stretch the neck
Looks around
A windswept crush te secret
A last blow
Carrying the silent words
images of a kiss
The smell a perfume
On my skin
And the memories are already future
around in circles aimlessly
Or is it just me?
An imagined fantasy?
The wind swells
like the loving pigeon does
wanders like a proud dandy
Stretch the neck
Looks around
A windswept crush te secret
A last blow
Carrying the silent words
images of a kiss
The smell a perfume
On my skin
And the memories are already future

A short revolution of chaos, fish, blue skies, pasta, and a conversation with God
the devil isn't in the
details, it's in the
chaos
an attractive face is a
switchblade knife
ready to gut the
fish of
love
why is a blue shy never
around when you
really need
one
there's too much poetry
about love, death, cat
piss and bull
shit
but not enough about
a plate of good
pasta
tell me a joke that I can
take to the grave so
I'll have something
interesting to
say to
God

The Animal of Infinite Imagination
Proem:
Do you know what genius is
I summon it
It is the jinn
I beckon
With fire and smoke
Corruption permeates everything, cracks in everything and the enigma of everything is that it is defined best by its flaws, by what it lacks, what will hurt it, what will destroy it. I would have to fall down and worship if I paused and allowed myself to know and believe that its flaws are its beauty. That its tenderness lies in its vulnerabilities. That these are a gravity against which all things labor, the weakest points, these crack and splinter,...
