#MovingOn
Long poems about moving on. 300 words or more, most recently published poems first.
A Beautiful Prison
Time, you will do it
Time, it will try its very best to break you
No matter who you are
Nobody knows the beautiful prison I have built for myself, it has secret views to die for
Views I’m dying for all over again just to give it away one day, just to give you this glimpse of it now
Very few know, who’s keeping time for an infinite regress and the damage it will ultimately do to a human soul
The cruel passage of time, perhaps the cruellest of all, it unravels ideas?
Through the mundane, it transcends the mundane...

Simple Deadly Changes
Change is such a funny little thing.
Our daily repetitive burnt out lives, longing for a slight difference in what is brought onto tomorrow.
Because one simple change can be all it takes for somebody to completely hit rock bottom.
But it also ought to be one of the most unexpected, subtly frightening things.
Because that night you see, things had changed so much for me.
Your soothing words flow like the lullaby of death and the silent impact is most disastrous.
For that night what seemed so simple, was far more impactful than anyone ever could have...

it's a living
it's gotta be Monday 2.0
waking up to another cup of what the fuck
still seeing darkness through the bedroom window
and that damn alarm screaming insistently
rubbing my last ragged nerve until it's raw
I'm not ready to rise
another day
another punch of the clock
grinding through corporate mediocrity
this isn't who I used to be
but that was another life
better times
today I'm filling pockets for some other guy
twice a month scoring another tiny paycheck
but it pays my bills & they're good to me, in all...

upon this lovely january morn
a debut saltation for 2024
“I like the dreams of the future better than the history
of the past.”—Thomas Jefferson
upon this lovely january morn,
o how my heart, intrepid in its pulse,
keeps vigil, as the fledgling year is born,
while earth's nerves, in her afterbirth, convulse!
she sucks her first breath from the virgin wind

Fade To Umber
I
Calculus in detritus;
sediment under waning tide,
cavernous and void of light --
upward eyes these still ride.
I am sunk within your deep
rivulets of sentiment steeped;
swirling around a constant murmur,
fomenting in this rudiment.
Ever furthur into clay
sublimate of irony loam;
every fibre pulls me close
untoward your centre comb.
II
Photos dry around the edges,
memories of earliest home;
caught within the many layers
fading with its Kodachrome.
Now gone I wither furthur; ...

The year of twenty twenty-four is near
and with it comes a hope for better days.
A time to heal the wounds of yesteryear
and face the future in a brighter gaze
But what will be the challenges ahead?
What trials and tribulations will we face?
Will we be able to overcome the dread
that lingers from the past and leaves a trace?
In nineteen twenty-four, a year of change.
Two men of different fates and different lands:
One breathed his last, the other saw the light
one left a legacy, the other began his fight.

reign overthrown
I watched the words
unexpectedly appear on my screen
barely surpressing an internal sigh
I really shouldn't be surprised
because after all...
I was the one who walked...
but never blocked
unnecessary...I thought
debating momentarily...
...should I even reply
in the end I did
just to see where it went
and quickly discovered something unforeseen
I knew him...
...he no longer knows me...
...to be more specific...he never really did
having met me at a time in my life

Moving On
last friday i attended a review with the gender clinic, and the primary points were with regards unfinished changes, which i'd sidelined, due to my heart ops, with regards voice training, and epilation, as i was focused on the actual reassignment surgery, which was successfully completed in May 2019.
she still remembered, as being wonderfully colourful. i said that i was now much more comfortable with my voice as it is, and that yes that i was still occasionally misgendered, but that was usually on the phone (even today) which makes me wince, but it is what it is, and on the phone, it is...

Silhouette Ash
I lit the four corners first,
but the paper never seemed to catch flame.
It kept burning,
but there were no red embers.
The edges just rolled back slowly,
turned black then gray,
and seemed to melt away.
Slowly, far too slowly.
I wanted it to hurry along,
the weight of those words
had been with me too long.
Even...

That Bitch (The Nun Runner Series Part IV)
Upper Eastside
New York
Ring ring…
Opening my eyes to my cell phone bird tone morning sing
Yeah, and who the fuck is this!
Disturbing my beauty sleep this shit best be legit
You got one up on me and that’s only because you’re a dick
My Queen we got some problems coming our way
I do not know how you got this phone number, lick my cunt and have a ride or die day
Lifting my cell phone pushing in my G’s numbers, phone up to my ear
Dammit…I told my crew to remain calm until the...

You About To Get Served And Straight Dealt (Ghosting That Ass IV Of V)
My Queen, the Mexican Cartel want a sit down meeting with you
Nobody wants an all out war in the streets between the crews
Gee, how long have you known me
I will fuck you up or shoot you in your head while you on your knees
Adversity and taking a nigga out, while you half past dead, bleeding out, and still begging for your life with a oh no, pretty please
And bring me that weird looking ass bitch, I heard he was the inside snitch
just make sure to keep your hand on the trigger in...
