they look at me & I can see it
instant dismissal
so casual...
glance sliding sideways
still...can't honestly say I blame them
not much visible to the naked eye
everything worth noting...is hidden
inside
let me share a little secret
never underestimate a Survivor
we may appear quite ordinary
...boring even
sitting quietly in our corners
but there's a lot going on behind the scenes
...beyond mere observation
peripherals clocking 360°
reading more than sits on the surface ...

Boffola & Drollery
a decade ago, I started a group on Facebook
for like-minded individuals wanting to
share experienced, learn more about
things related to their spiritual journeys
every now and then I will share
a humorous meme
calling it, Levity for the day (or week)
I feel it’s important for all to laugh
laugh a lot
all the time
at ourselves
with others
I try to cause my Mom to laugh
during every visit
I tell Her that I believe we
live longer
if we are...

Dark Airwaves
questioning motives
behind hushed whispers
already alert wondering

lingering fragility breeds
more uncertainty within
obscure nessaging creating
envitable unsafe pressures
deluge of shadows
mutterings that won't stop
still figuring out reality
wether i exist or not
miniscule truths overshadowed
lost inside static
white noise playlist
only frequency heard
aii other frequences muted
giving blinkered veiw
apathy broadcasting tunes

Dreaming of Home
I woke up beside you, in a house that we own,
sobbing and broken ‘cause I couldn’t find home.
The dream was so vivid, the feeling so raw;
an aching realization I’d been here before.
No one to guide me, found my way on my own,
following my instincts, somehow I knew the road.
I set out across the water, though I couldn’t see the way;
unseen creatures threatening, but I kept the fears at bay.
When “HOME” finally appeared as if out of thin air,
I could tell everybody was already there.
They’d gone on without me, not thinking to wait, ...

Murder most morish - NaPoWriMo 20
Watching episodes
of murder mysteries gone by,
such as Cadfael and Agatha Christie's Poirot.
Times of a slower pace
still assaulted
by the brutality of the animal within,
but less obsessive fascination
with showing the gory details
and wanton darkness.
With scenes of the past sensibly lit
without the modern pervading dimness
that shows naught;
the attempted 'mystery'
of what the hell is happening on screen
bludgeoning supposed suspense.
Nostalgia
may be the prime suspect
to much of this, ...

Shooting Stars
we both gasped
looking toward the night sky
and pointing in opposite directions
relevant to the nature of our journey
separated by lack of communication
yet our inclinations brought us back together
to stand here in awe at the beauty
of a celestial show
stars showering in motion
across the horizon
drawing a line
to your heart from mine
tying us into an embrace
with fingers interlaced

Monsters Play
somewhere deep down
where darkness dwells
these monters play games
always threatening sanity
with ominous whispers
seeping gradually inside
hear sinister remarks
directed like xniper bullets
designed for maximum damage
impacting heavily and precise
creepy laughter background soundtrack
pulp fiction comes to mond
so many shadowy figures dancing
never giving any peace
constantly chiding mistakes
keeping pressure pushing madness
creating more darkly overtures
within brooding atmospheres ...

Disassociated
Trying my best to do my inner work
Being content with myself
with
no god
no friend
no lover
no mentor
not giving in to the temptation
to digest mushrooms
or CBD gummies
or massive amounts of libation
(as if the alcohol would surpass
and be stronger than the mind-
altering natural shit)
I believe, at one time, I was
ever alone, happy, WITHOUT
anything ….. anyone
to get me to that higher plane
of consciousness,
that existence
Somewhere...

Why can I not find a Beautiful Synonym For Dying?

Why can I not find a Beautiful Synonym For Dying?
I HAVE to attend a Birthday celebration, today
initially I absolutely didn’t want to go
as I don’t do well in tight crowd-like spaces
I learned of my Friend’s cancer diagnoses
a month before her Daughter flew here to
Southern Arizona to take charge of
From previous experience, I KNOW
the cancer may not have been discovered
soon enough and me and her are really
not that close
I said OK to Linda’s (that’s her name)
close Friend and my neighbor ...

when she turned 70
mom announced she wanted to skydive for her 80th
to get the full impact of that declaration
you need to know my mother
bravest she'd ever been was defying her parents
marrying my father
(come to think of it...that's no small feat...)
2 strokes & a pandemic later
she's no longer as steady on her feet
she tires more easily
only 3 birthdays yet to go until that slated date
...it isn't looking likely
I wish I had the courage to go
...in her place
make the jump in...

Ballad of the Fire Swamp
O give me a home where nobody will roam
Where the Count and his soldiers won’t stray
Where a sudden Flame Spurt leaves them crispy and hurt
And the skies smell of campfire all day
Home, home in the swamp
Where the Lightning Sands grip at their knees
Where the R.O.U.S. is our welcome house guest
And the skies smell of campfire all day
O give me a house with a giant guard mouse
Where the Terrors keep burglars at bay
Where seldom is heard an annoying loud bird
And the skies smell of campfire all day
Home, home in the...
