What A Difference A Day Makes.
Today
I let
words
create doubt
.
.
.
.
tomorrow,
I'll shine
in my truth.

camping without a sewer hookup
Violent urges
Match my dour dirges
The night is everlasting
This curse still casting.
Sour stomach bile
Builds the sick guile
As I roll my eyes
In time to your soft lies.
Full of shit and ready to burst
This amount of force usually hurts,
The doctor said go home
But I’ll stay where I roam;
My thoughts nauseated
With the content created.
A concentrated dosage
Of white sage Osage,
Crystals won’t be enough
To save me from the stuff.
Match my dour dirges
The night is everlasting
This curse still casting.
Sour stomach bile
Builds the sick guile
As I roll my eyes
In time to your soft lies.
Full of shit and ready to burst
This amount of force usually hurts,
The doctor said go home
But I’ll stay where I roam;
My thoughts nauseated
With the content created.
A concentrated dosage
Of white sage Osage,
Crystals won’t be enough
To save me from the stuff.

So... what're we gonna call zebras and xylophones now
they've taken
the letter z
and stained it
like the Aryans stained
the swastika

and stained it
like the Aryans stained

An excerpt from a strange occurrence
you may not remember
back when we were one cell
wriggling round the ocean
and not a care or notion
of standing on dry land
I do
I remember much
later, when eyes overwhelmed us
with beauty and sadness
and where it took us
from there
and look at us now
look at you"
but, I don't think he knew
who he was talking to

Quiet Essences Of
Under cool blanketed darkness
each twinkle wished upon, above
dire calls assuredly silent ...in their beckoning
You are there
Wherever the skies turn rusty pink,
dew slowly melting upon grassy earth
hushed truth finds way made of whispers
You are there
Whimpering newborn cries
a fawn shaking, celebrating pure life
tenderly warmed by it's mother's breast
You are there
When winged nightingale's sing-song
echoing their musical enchantments
rousing...
each twinkle wished upon, above
dire calls assuredly silent ...in their beckoning
You are there
Wherever the skies turn rusty pink,
dew slowly melting upon grassy earth
hushed truth finds way made of whispers
You are there
Whimpering newborn cries
a fawn shaking, celebrating pure life
tenderly warmed by it's mother's breast
You are there
When winged nightingale's sing-song
echoing their musical enchantments
rousing...

if my aloneness wrote, too
missing you
sinks it's teeth in
gnawing
dense skull & bone
words disappear
off the page
voids regularize
forming stark barren wastelands
missing stars
hush their scars
time randomly moves fast-forward
or is it numbed, too
just standing perfectly still?
soundless
frozen and ungracious
force-chosen
in this soundproof stasis
quietude tightens
it reigns
isolation
deafening agony
silently repeats
becoming soundtrack

the difficulties of death throes
This morning
I screamed
while stumbling awake
howling each step
of routine
screeches rang,
continuously
between each
and every coffee drip
an otherworldly timbre
echoing —out
isolating yowls
bubbling amidst
hot shower steam
reverberating
the small space
where sins
are washed clean
shrieks boom
exploding
the soft morning
thundering loud
filling my ears

Finding the right kind of words. (i.e. found happiness)
Abandoning
my bullshit
because
in the end
.

it's
all
about
love
simple. as. that.

Ought to —Spoken Word
I think (or dream)
there was only one...
who (knew)
that particularity
where being finally found
is bound by individual choice
perhaps a consensuality of a lifetime
the only one
brave enough
to show beauty in weakness
when the ache required truth
and truth required
a heart to love
without an iota of bias
the only one
to appreciate and recognize,
knowing how judgment,
corrodes and corrupts;
