familial souvenirs for a past life
I want to shred your face
with my fingernails
I want you to hug me
and tell me you've always
loved me
and let all perceived sins
be forgiven
I want to forgive you
let the past float
into an ocean of new
where this blood
doesn't haunt us anymore
I want to take this pain
and shove it through your chest
and pretend like you feel
... something
I want you
to feel something
for me
that isn't blind animosity
and generational violence
I want there...
with my fingernails
I want you to hug me
and tell me you've always
loved me
and let all perceived sins
be forgiven
I want to forgive you
let the past float
into an ocean of new
where this blood
doesn't haunt us anymore
I want to take this pain
and shove it through your chest
and pretend like you feel
... something
I want you
to feel something
for me
that isn't blind animosity
and generational violence

Sauna Fidelity Test
Sauna Fidelity Test
“My brother-in-law are you comfortable in this sauna?”
“It is quite warm but that is what these hothouses are for.”
“Well, if you need to take off your towel I won’t mind. Your wife will understand. No need to go around swaddled in this swelter.”
“The heat is oppressive so in the interest of comfort, I’ll go nude. But are you comfortable with me in this state of undress?”
“You were already mostly naked. I consider what is underneath to be a perfectly healthy part of the male physique.”
“I bet that...

The cruelest thing
Went over my old poems here
like flicking through an old photo album
mostly shit, some deeply profound
many about you, my love and intent
clear as fucking day
Starting to question yours though
sure feeling played the fool
orchestred like only you can
what you trying to do paint me a monster, fucking erase me,
what was I to you nothing more than a sperm donor something to be cast aside
erased, as if an immaculate conception occurred, rather than the love that was there, from my perspective anyway
what you want to piss...

You do not Have to worry
You do not have to worry
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you
And have nothing to confess
You don't own the English language
None of the words are now your own
If you treat others, as you have me
You will find youself alone
This is all the time, I'll waste on you
I'm surprised I went this far
I will not mention any names
I know, you know, just who you are
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you
And have nothing to confess
You don't own the English language
None of the words are now your own
If you treat others, as you have me
You will find youself alone
This is all the time, I'll waste on you
I'm surprised I went this far
I will not mention any names

Killing Democracy
An attempted Coup
Unconscionable mishandling of the nation’s secrets.
Conspiracies fuelled by lies and misinformation
Obstruct, excuse, condone
Violating of oaths of office
Violating oaths to uphold the constitution and the nation’s laws
One man at the centre
Each Republican, pundit, sycophant that
Defend
Excuses
Obstructs
Lies
Promotes baseless conspiracies
Deflects
Denies
Is complicit
Stabbing at the heart of democracy
Anything less than outright repudiation of indefensible conduct ...

Have You Seen My Wife ? - a true story
Have you seen my wife?
the creaking floors, the hollow walls,
the garden where he planted beer cans
that bloom without joy.
She was the spark in his life once,
or so he thought
a face a caramel tart,
a voice like honey,
a promise dressed in silk.
But promises break,
don’t they?
Their house became a carnival,
not of laughter but of strangers.
Friends from overseas filled the guest rooms,
toasting her beauty,
praising the home he built.
Their cheers drowned the whispers
he refused...
the creaking floors, the hollow walls,
the garden where he planted beer cans
that bloom without joy.
She was the spark in his life once,

Recapturing
Christmas has passed,
and the new year approaches.
I encroach upon you
with a belated text.
The pretext is the weather
to remind you
of everything we have been through.
The snow was our serenity.
Snowflakes fall, and I
want you to know that I walk
for blocks in the symphony
of the busy streets alone.
I have a bittersweet
but upbeat feeling reading your reply.
You have established roots
where it does not snow.
Still, I hope the fruits of your labor
are savored and receive water from the oasis.
I...

You said you loved me
So you said you love me, and I believed as a child would believe in the tooth fairy. Oh what foolishness I carried. In the fairy tales of reality. I thought it would be you I would marry. No happy ending only thing I believe now is that you were pretending, Just masquerading hearts in the fog. No magical kiss no princess, no prince no frog. Sadly ever after sits a lonely man like a bump on a log. So you said you loved me, and my ears believed every word. Now without my heart beating loudly for you it's the biggest lie I ever heard. Yet I love myself and found the love I deserve. So...

Oops!! I Missed Another One
The United States does not have a "justice" system
It has a "legal" system.
Thank You David Baldacci
Those in charge define what is, or is not, "legal"
That which aids and comforts the decision makers,
and their friends and contributors,
becomes "legal"
That which makes them uncomfortable,
or less financially profitable,
is made "illegal"
37 ways from Sunday
It has a "legal" system.

Casualties of Avarice
Fragments of contempt
Undulating as reverence
Defining our lives
O’ recreant parlour
Where the echelon secures their tenure
Lining their pockets
Succinct rapacity
Seething is the blood of innocence
stomping unto war
Laughing are the ancients
Leading our young to the slaughter
The callow
fixate
on the falsehoods
spewed by the liars
The misguided align
Consuming the lines
Absorbing their crimes
And when the dust settles
We are left
with nothing but ...
Undulating as reverence

Is He Cheating On Me Or Not?
Crystal felt something near her.
She saw Scott humping her friend Kirstie.
She woke up screaming "no".
She saw Scott humping her friend Kirstie.
