I CANT BREATH”!
“I CANT BREATH”!
“Without God’s love”
“Without God’s love”
"My God, My God,
“why hast thou forsaken me?"
(“Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani?”)

Reluctant
I look to the empty box
white cursor blinking
Sigh
I start the tune app and wait for it to load
I don't want it to
Then Ill have to see the 1st song
Sigh
It's loaded
I stir my coffee for a full minute
In nervous diversion
Pills!
I get up and fill my special cup
1 of these, 1 of these, no 2 of these
1 of these, two of these today
1 of those and 1 of these and skip this one
and this one ...
Check the stash for inventory
Gotta order this one again
Ok back in front of comp ...

Spilled Oil On The Asphalt Or America
People avoid it
Walking past hurriedly
As if they linger it will
Infect them
I stop to look at it
The rainbow colors
Caught in the sun
Like some ancient ocean
Bubbling with life
Change your angle
And the colors shift
Some water mixed in
Makes borders between
Together yet separate
An elixir that may never properly mix
Sad ...
Just oil and water
and no one wants to even take a look ... ..
Distant Speaker blares - (Spill in the parking lot)
Walking past hurriedly
As if they linger it will
Infect them
I stop to look at it
The rainbow colors
Caught in the sun
Like some ancient ocean
Bubbling with life
Change your angle
And the colors shift
Some water mixed in
Makes borders between
Together yet separate
An elixir that may never properly mix
Sad ...
Just oil and water
and no one wants to even take a look ... ..
Distant Speaker blares - (Spill in the parking lot)

Slush On The Asphalt
Slush on the asphalt
Onto the sidewalk it shoots
Cars and trucks sloshing around in it
She trudges on in old stylish boots
Cloudy sky
Little wind blow
Bending and twisting
To move the wet snow
Heavy as fuck
Away from the path
Clearing the way
For older footfalls to pass
Back and forth
Throughout the day
To and fro
She clears the way ...
Throughout the day
She clears the way ...
Onto the sidewalk it shoots
Cars and trucks sloshing around in it
She trudges on in old stylish boots
Cloudy sky
Little wind blow
Bending and twisting
To move the wet snow
Heavy as fuck
Away from the path
Clearing the way
For older footfalls to pass
Back and forth
Throughout the day
To and fro
She clears the way ...
Throughout the day
She clears the way ...

Ahead of the Game
So far ahead of the game
I took a hit and stole seconds
never finding my way home, left
standing on base until I finally
called myself out
Sleeping on the railroad tracks
waiting for the night train to kick in
knee deep in shit I can still look up
and say “Damn the stars look beautiful”
as creosote lulls me to sleep
Days are so fucking long but years
are short, a ticking time-bomb exploding
into the hands of death, but he jukes and
I’m face first in the pavement with deep
lacerations and a broken bourbon...

Lakeside 10/30
The windmills fan their faces in cool joy.
Cartwheels walk the sky and feel with toes.
Listen, on the tippy toes are cartwheeling clouds.
Elephants cause earthquakes as they run.
Earthquakes make them run to higher ground.
Like children going out on a limb, higher.
Higher, out on a limb the children drop stones
into their faces, they see themselves as grass small.
They see themselves as grass, small with faces of dew.
Town-criers for the wind, for news of a bough.

I rub upon your 4/30
I rub upon your
temples
coarse
finger grains
fine
the microcosm
the mica
the pumice
of breaking apart
i could break it down
phonetically
with eye
naked
exfoliated
but the ocular
that’s learned how things occur
the abstract
mold concept
superimposed
rods
cones
making wind
stone
my words
pottery
they are the clay
living poetry
ephemeral dirt
in oyster shells

October's Children
Hordes of beasts
Brandish the streets
Porchlights attract feats
Promising delicious treats
Haunted houses excite
Flourishing their fright
Orchestrating their plight
Awaiting their bite
Chilly winds appease
Autumn rustled leaves
Laughter filled breeze
October’s at ease
Leaf induced bags
Landmark as flags
Soliciting their tags
Expendable like rags
Doorbells become alive
Reanimating those inside
Little hands uprise
Liberating their prize
Spider webs entangle
Mini...

Your sole purpose for existence
Was derailed through our persistence
Humanities resistance
Will always allow us coexistence
Even if there’s a six-foot distance
There will never be a difference
You’re a Petri dish of destruction
A lab rat for mass production
A parasite of ignorant construction
A fuckin leech for black deduction
2020’s introduction
To our government’s induction
You’re the face for terrorism’s fear
An unnegotiable nightmare
A shit stain on societies mirror
Your motives couldn’t have been much...

Save Yourself
Behind the screens
Behind the glass
Behind the plastic
They wait ...
For someone to save them ... ..

Grief Trials
The losses in life create chasms
within the soul, perforations that leave
it easily torn
It's wounds bleed happiness and
create unseen scars that burn as
their made, leaving indelible marks
on a broken heart
So maybe time heals, but for now
it's far too soon, the scars however,
will be there forever
within the soul, perforations that leave
it easily torn
It's wounds bleed happiness and
create unseen scars that burn as
their made, leaving indelible marks
on a broken heart
So maybe time heals, but for now
it's far too soon, the scars however,
will be there forever
