Safe House
I ran away
From myself
Left all the riches
Took a one bedroom above the drug store
After they close up shop
Can blast my music all night
Maybe put a pick-up on my cello
Abstract the notion of classical
Shredding the strings beyond reason
One day I'll go back
When I've written my opus
I'll stand away from the crowd though
Never going on that fucking Today show
From myself
Left all the riches
Took a one bedroom above the drug store
After they close up shop
Can blast my music all night
Maybe put a pick-up on my cello
Abstract the notion of classical
Shredding the strings beyond reason
One day I'll go back
When I've written my opus
I'll stand away from the crowd though
Never going on that fucking Today show

Widow
The price of deep love
Is the grief that sweeps the soul
When love leaves the world
Is the grief that sweeps the soul
When love leaves the world

Seven Times
Some say
we are heading in a very bad direction
time to pack up
need to be moving on
close my eyes
the sun warms my face with reflection
this anger inside
i've got to get it gone
down again
like the other times before
little slower, little grayer
age has no cure
i'm gonna put an application on the other side of that gate
been down seven times
i'll get up eight
our little girl
got sick with the onset of winter ...
we are heading in a very bad direction

need to be moving on
close my eyes
the sun warms my face with reflection
this anger inside
i've got to get it gone
down again

little slower, little grayer
age has no cure
i'm gonna put an application on the other side of that gate

Skin Hunger
It's so long since I felt your touch.
How do we sleep in the same bed and not even graze each other?
You pushed me away,
With self-deprecating statements.
You tell me you are sorry.
As I suffer from your exile.
Till death we said.
How did we die?
Laying in this bed.
How do we sleep in the same bed and not even graze each other?
You pushed me away,
With self-deprecating statements.
You tell me you are sorry.
As I suffer from your exile.
Till death we said.
How did we die?
Laying in this bed.

Navalny On Jeopardy
2/30
“Listen, I’ve got something very obvious to tell you. You’re not allowed to give up.
If they decide to kill me, it means that we are incredibly strong." ~ Navalny
(Quoted by our own Ahavati)
When I think of him, his last day,
I think of him there in the courtroom
behind the shatter-proof glass
grinning at Putin's judge,
joking with Putin's judge ...

The in between
The darkness is closing in
I hear it banging on the walls
Of my mind, my soul and everything within
Listening to the sound of my breath as it stalls
Everything comes rushing in at a pace thats hard to bear
Reaching for a hand but no one is there
Can anyone see me or do they just not care
Thinking of happy times I get lost in a stare
In between worlds I refuse to let go
Grasping at ghosts as my hand slips through
How could I ever possibly not know
From the beginning it was only you
The whole time its been you
I hear it banging on the walls
Of my mind, my soul and everything within
Listening to the sound of my breath as it stalls
Everything comes rushing in at a pace thats hard to bear
Reaching for a hand but no one is there
Can anyone see me or do they just not care
Thinking of happy times I get lost in a stare
In between worlds I refuse to let go
Grasping at ghosts as my hand slips through
How could I ever possibly not know
From the beginning it was only you
The whole time its been you

Disappearance
9/30
Sunday night,
desperate for sleep,
I pushed you away
when you crawled up
and tried to sleep
between my thighs
I am old, sweet cat,
your weight obstructs
the flow of blood
I turned this way, that,
and drifted off--
Did I, perhaps, leave you offended?
You awoke at first light
demanding I open the kitty door
and off you went
all gray stealth of smoke
disappearing into the hazy day, ...

Social Anxiety
I wasn’t made for crowds
I realize tonight
I’m in a bar
With open scars
And fear that grips me tight
The lively vibe should ease my mind
Should talk and interact
Instead I’m stuck inside my head
And don’t know how to act
Topics randomly pop up
Each person makes their comment
The urge to speak takes over
Followed by the urge to vomit
I look around the table
And I smile and I nod
I start to feel I don’t fit in
And now the urge to sob
I blink away the tears that come ...

Absent the Hunger
I heard the birds
chose not to rise
tears betray
my blurry eyes
Resting here
unable to sleep
unknown reasons
for why I weep
I am not meant
to exist today
how I feel
no words convey
Devoid of senses
empty, numb
no smell or flavour
seems to come
Absent the hunger
deficient desire
without even a start
decision to retire
chose not to rise
tears betray
my blurry eyes
Resting here
unable to sleep
unknown reasons
for why I weep
I am not meant
to exist today
how I feel
no words convey
Devoid of senses
empty, numb
no smell or flavour
seems to come
Absent the hunger
deficient desire
without even a start
decision to retire

Despair
Broken windows
apparent unrest
encouraging further crime
uncivilised
disregarded
community in decline
Humble bee
on a mission
flying too far from its hive
horticultural duty
to pollinate
away from its queen, unable to thrive
Artists and poets
living to create
unfortunately lacking muse
desperation
on their journey
darkness assuredly ensues
Depraved indifference
radical belief
death, one cannot repair
in holy war
no side wins
all left weeping in despair
apparent unrest
encouraging further crime
uncivilised
disregarded
community in decline
Humble bee
on a mission
flying too far from its hive
horticultural duty
to pollinate
away from its queen, unable to thrive
Artists and poets
living to create
unfortunately lacking muse
desperation
on their journey
darkness assuredly ensues
Depraved indifference
radical belief
death, one cannot repair
in holy war
no side wins
all left weeping in despair
