Generation Zero

My feet dig
into the concrete
with the weight of this life
and the carcass of god
in the winds above us

Living Unreality

Living unreality
Vicarious screams
For the joys and failures
Painted before me
Eye disbelieve
This fleshed out scene
Visual echoes
Figments of dreams

In a sea of words
Is now all that I
Can focus on

Pictures

If a picture holds
a thousand words
then the words
should hold
a thousand pictures
that lay deep within
the meaning
of those words
you are reading
when you
feel them

Tanka #6 ... the 'GO' in the flow

Current events
are no surprise
but shocking just the same...

made me stomach drop like a stone...
'twas all so horrible strange.

What amuses you?

The human heart

No need to wonder
Why I said

Hearing the rhythm
And the basic beats

Lub-Dub……..Lub-Dub
Lub-Dub

Instantly
They let me know
What to sing

Adrift

Do you
feel adrift
within this sea of chaos
watching your shoreline
of razor sharp rocks
with your
ship
that is slowly sinking
with the weight
of all your
Excess baggage
that you find hard
to throw
Overboard

LITTLE OLD STORE

I'm open
Says the store
With bells on
Its door
But no one
Seems to notice
Anymore

To be happy is
Essential

Get good reasons to
Initiate
Or, let me
Help you
