[ SK ] Fire
As if choreographed with great
purpose by higher powers
it can hypnotize you
yet so spectacularly spastic
the flame of a candle is
Should come as no surprise---
houses, neighborhoods
entire towns have been
destroyed due to a single
person's lack of self control
What's been built up for decades
---easily reduced to ash within hours

[2019] Wolf's Bane
Alcohol, drugs, sex ...
It's a Universal Law
we are only as strong
as the day is long
Night tells different stories
and for some of us
the moon pulls it out
a few pennies at a time
in dreadful installments

[ SK ] When the monsters came
everything feared, balled up in the fist of your solar plexus doesn't exist within some nebulus nexus of imagination, but rather in the mist.
For they are one and the same.
For they are one and the same.

[ SK ] When We Were Monsters
Justice?
Difficult to say
Karma?
Hard to tell
Never thought we'd see the day
when the bully was bullied
into submission; he fell
collapsing in on himself
as if an empty husk, a shell
----no longer this terrifying thing
from some outerspaced hell;
heart gone completely out of it
upon realization the spell
over us was as broken as him
though far from victim

SOMETIMES DEAD IS BETTER
There is a place beyond the cringe of sanity
At the end of the bleakest path when you're too far gone
A graphic reminder of remains of families
Broken with dearly departed names chiseled on tombstones
I swear I can't go on like this
Cause the terror in my eyes show me
The dead look reflecting beside me
Don't judge me on my last letter
Because sometimes
Sometimes
DEAD IS BETTER
She had such a merciful heart
I traded it for a hellbound one
Now revived in the sour ground
To kill everything beneath the...

[ SK ] Ghosts?
There's no such thing
Hey, it's just my opinion
Though having read any books
of mine based on numerous
"supposed" haunted locations
along good ole Route 66
you'd already know
that's how I roll
And by ghosts, I mean lost souls
dearly departed from their bodies
still wandering this mortal coil
But, just hear me out for a moment;
what if there are places in this world ...

[ SK ] different day same shit
happens to the best of us
Bucko, while the rest of the world
is driving their Chevrolets
shopping at Wal-Mart and
watching Friends on TV
boarding trains of thought
with their own carry on baggage
oblivious of the circumstances
you struggle to escape
---nothing and I mean
NOTHING is allowed in or out
through the perimeter
Give it up
---call it quits---
hands in the airspace;
you're surrounded
...

[ SK ] Black Houses II
Past is as temporary
as it is temporal
---a vast mansion
although sitting vacant
in constant expansion;
what you can't live in
no matter how
much you try
---no longer inviting you in
to tour its grand hall or dance
in the New Years Eve Ball
Once you've decided to move on
it's incapable of accommodating
current wants and needs
overgrown by weeds
now ...

[ SK ] A Stark Reminder
Here comes the sparrows
flying again
Narrative flows
until shift-changed
then goes against
the authored grain
And the person
you lose yourself in
those dark dreams
nightly becomes
more and more
estranged
until you choose
to kill him off
outrightly

[ SK ] Four Hundred Rounds
Rapid fire shots in the full dark
missing wide their mark
Need for accuracy abandoned
on the straight and narrow
warpath
Can't keep your loosed facts straight
---each arrow an alternative story arc
A raging automaton in your wrath
Anathematic to the last
missing wide their mark
Need for accuracy abandoned
on the straight and narrow
warpath
Can't keep your loosed facts straight
---each arrow an alternative story arc
A raging automaton in your wrath
Anathematic to the last
