old year.

each day hurts
unfortunately,
i feel
just as
i look,
the sun
comes up,
hours pass
and then
the moon
waves,
another
morning
and things
haven't
changed,
my body
in pain,
i feel
it there
to greet
me each
new day.

disabling the sky
what if
someone
disabled
the sky,
no more
morning sun,
no happy,
moving clouds,
no rainbows
stretching
out,
the blue
is gone,
there
is nothing,
but i
do not
have
to watch
the sameness
from my
disabled frame,
my mind
will bring
back
the sun,
the clouds,
the rainbows,
and the blue,
everything
will be
here again.

i cannot love myself
where is this
section
of night
that found
me sitting,
it began
to fall
over my head,
working
downward,
covering
my senses,
to misunderstand
the hour,
this is
the hours
of lovers,
for lovers
convenience,
i hide my face,
i hide
completely,
i can give
my love away,
but not
to myself.

i want to
travel,
but
my mind
can
carry me.

Dissociated Games
Flinches
And spasms
That swallow
Me whole
The zaps of
Electrical jolts
Tears shooting
Vertical out
Of my eyes
Out of my mind
Where has the time
Gone, I flutter away
Can’t make
Myself stay
Breaking out
Of my cage
I dissociate
I dissociate
I dissociate
And spasms
That swallow
Me whole
The zaps of
Electrical jolts
Tears shooting
Vertical out
Of my eyes
Out of my mind
Where has the time
Gone, I flutter away
Can’t make
Myself stay
Breaking out
Of my cage
I dissociate
I dissociate
I dissociate

Returning to the Scene of the Crime
Returning to the Scene of the Crime
Again
And again
I lean
Over your body
Plucking
Each detail
As something
Revealed.
Returning
Again
To the scene
Of the crime,
Each
Morsel
A tidbit
Unsealed.
Each
Crevice
And shadow
A hidden awareness,
Each imprint
Of madness
An unholy
Sadness,
A thread
Once again
That's now
Healed.
