POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Drifting
Disruption, ripples spreading ever outward,
in a pool of green water. Reflecting the color of
the forest all around.
The leaf spins slowly, circling lazily.
Finally drifting downriver, on a journey to the sea.
Onward towards its destiny.
Swept away on salty waves, a leaf afloat,
amid the foam and seaweed. Like so much flotsam,
and jetsam.
At the point of total saturation, the leaf sinks slowly
down, through the depths, through aqua-marine, teal blue
to darkest jade.
Until at last swallowed by the dark abyss.
Immense...

the city
Universal madness growing, threatening to erupt,
a vague unrest a nameless longing.
Terminal sewers run rampant in the city.
Parasites feed on the unborn child.
Naked images in neon mushroom clouds, raining acid rain.
Television death, so casually reduced to nothing.
Sick junkies scream shrilly, feel the painful prick
of sharp instruments of death, the cold metal inside.
Humanities condition denied. Alternating fear and joy,
the sick see-saw cutting deep. Vagrants mutter to god,
smell the stale flesh. Cracked pavement underfoot, insanity...
a vague unrest a nameless longing.

cosmic vomit
we are the children of doomsday madness
waking up in pools of blood.
electric storms of violence sweep the planet,
desperate flesh emerges, eaten alive by insect eyes.
transparent society exposed at last,
shifting reality, cosmic vomit.
exterminated by waves of resistance.
the addicts overcome the panic of withdrawal,
slither forth from hiding, to suck it all in.
wandering blind in a landscape of tears,
gasping for air, groping for flesh.
feeling cold contempt for your ignorant conformity.
hoping for more, but expecting less.
