Judgement Day
Fully loaded down by stress
focusing spectrum of cuss words to a beam
Sinister regards of carnage
kaleidoscope aimed at opposing team
Boom-Bam-Beam Tourette tics loiter in throated
close support scene
A-10 Warthog BBBRRRRRTTTT
plain in turret attack routines
Dumb luck keep it simple stupid
everybody gotta die seems
Just feed ammo stockpiles
for passovers on horrified screams
Life gave me lemons
I’m handing sour juice no aid of chaser
Only bitter sweet thoughts
aimed chase from infrared laser ...

Dishes Lying Witness in the Sink
the day you ruined me
sitting at our kitchen table
telling you about the boy
who hurt me at school,
pinching and twisting my nipple
through my shirt
...he told me I’d be cute
if I wasn’t so fat
I was alone
waiting for the bell
feeling clumsy and exposed
surrendering to the internal chaos
of rapid-fire thoughts
finding my way to the inside
as I’ve always tended to do
the colors and shapes
homemade hallucinations ...

feeling clumsy and exposed
surrendering to the internal chaos

PTSD
Another year
of
torture;
A silencing of pain
My heart bestills the weeping
Instead, interrogates my brain
Refurbished, unmarked terror
Where my cells condone decay
All but death
has
been
perfected
To portray what cannot be delayed
Power in the trenches
Where entire strands are lain
Will the unmeshed be soft spoken
To vow our valour die in vain?

'Nam Man
My happiness is handicapped
And i don't understand why
My promises were promiscuous
To you
Riots in my mind
Savagely scattered remains
What used to be a life
I was my own tormentor
Searching for sincerity
Discovered deception
Disgraced from family
For being impartial
To immorality
Ostracized
Exiled into the world
Without prejudice
Wayfaring wanderer
Searching...
Unsure of what waited
Mysteries to uncover
Radically labeled
Insurgent rebel
Found...
