Mechanical Repairs
Every organism found
Has its

A crumpled doll
Fallen

Rag bone

In a lifeless

Stitched
lips
and frozen
eyes
Fumbling
and stumbling
Trying to

Will it

When back...

Cliff Notes
Journey begins
Within these
walls
of familiarity
Studying patterns
Travels
Stagnance
Blank edge
of maps
unexplored
Beckon
What awaits
beyond
Stepping
into unknown
No worse
than covered ground
One foot
forward
Change
to follow
Within these
walls

Travels
Stagnance
Blank edge
of maps
unexplored
Beckon
What awaits

Stepping

Mind Benders
Thieves of reality
are the moments
of love
S n e a k i n g in
with experience
Making alterations
to the mind
Better
or worse
Changing
the image
of yesterday
With truths
of today
are the moments

Making alterations

Better

Two Blind Mice
Prayers into pillows
and fingers crossed
Eyes averted
at all costs
Who bears
the graver
sin
The one telling
lies
Or the one
pretending
to be taken in
Keeping an un*easy peace
One trying
to keep things
un*seen
Hoping there's never a time
When it requires
being challenged
And one determined

Unraveling Panic
Pressurized contents
squeeze
Putting mind on pause
One last stab
at the bubble
of reality
One thought
beyond
And sanity
skitters
under the sofa
A frightened creature
Separate of self
No amount of cajoling
can recall it
World freezes
as time...

Pained Daze
Pain radiates
Making thought
sharp
edged
Adding weight
to already
overly sensitized
nerves
Life
betrayed
by body
Shambling stumble
through
medicated haze days
Waiting
for good ones
Managing
the rest

Unmarked Passage
What power
have
words
When spoken
to an empty room
How does heart
reconcile
the un*known
Crystal hopes
shattered
upon cold stone
Revealing
that which was always
sought
Ever denied
Of what value
does truth carry
Given
too late
have
words
When spoken
to an empty room
How does heart
reconcile
the un*known
Crystal hopes
shattered
upon cold stone
Revealing
that which was always
sought
Ever denied
Of what value
does truth carry
Given
too late

Bubbles in Sunlight
They call
Ask when will be
the next visit
No pressure applied
Simple truth
of presence missing
Absence
deeply noticed
Something warms
In the vicinity
of broken heart
Not alone
As previously thought
There's a bubble
of something
Rising
Strongly resembling
HOPE
Ask when will be
the next visit
No pressure applied
Simple truth
of presence missing
Absence
deeply noticed
Something warms
In the vicinity
of broken heart
Not alone
As previously thought
There's a bubble
of something
Rising
Strongly resembling
HOPE

Barbwire Braille
Scraps of phrases
razor laced endearments
and sordid images
Shots
under cover
Tainted reality
stolen in back alleys
and dingy rooms
Flickering neon
Casting sinister implications
over sight
Stomach recoils
rebels
Contents strewn
upon grimy cement floor
What is learned
blinds
Knees crash upon glass
Shards cutting ...

Schnapps Stains
Thirty days
Twitchy edginess
f a d e s
Blackberry saturated
memories
linger
Like old friends
no longer seen
But the bottle remains
empty
A need to
self
medicate
Sits
High
up on the shelf
In the darker patch
Where dust
never touched
