Sobriety and Reality
In between smiles,
The weight of my mistakes
Crush my very existence.
Small joys slip through the cracks.
Self hatred and self flagellation
Feed each other's gluttonous mouths
As they consume all that is left of me.
I no longer even take myself seriously.
Everyone is a mirror that reflects
Back the worst pieces of me
No matter the effort
To bring them joy
Or myself peace.
I am made up of a dopamine crash
Perpetually falling,
Muscles tensed,
Waiting to splatter on the bottom...
Awaiting a confirmation,...
The weight of my mistakes
Crush my very existence.
Small joys slip through the cracks.
Self hatred and self flagellation
Feed each other's gluttonous mouths
As they consume all that is left of me.
I no longer even take myself seriously.
Everyone is a mirror that reflects
Back the worst pieces of me
No matter the effort
To bring them joy
Or myself peace.
I am made up of a dopamine crash
Perpetually falling,
Muscles tensed,
Waiting to splatter on the bottom...
Awaiting a confirmation,...

Crisp waters as morning fog rises
With the sun of today reflecting
On memories of my progeny
All awaiting for something
I wish I knew
All the voices echo through the
Canyons like electric pulses
Stimulating stillness internally
Rising like rainbows rippling
The supltley in today
Yesterday is galling from burden
Bare on my skin, musty and old
Now black green checkered balm
Sifting sand in aging hands
Motionless in this matrix
Garland's ecapitulation urges
For our tenure is not over ...

Eulogy of The Horizon
What is spring but the planned pregnancy of nature?
Like rebirth on routine and conveyor belt harvesting
Processed beauty bringing forth bloom like the offspring of mother nature
Yet we exploit her young and speak a monotonous metaphor
How hard it is to see a rose knowing it will wilt?
In all the naked glory of the fields for a calendar spread
And yet it seems she makes for a better centerfold
Like if the world is exploitable then nothing is off limits
Why are we so prone to showcase tragedy?
Like winter is the frost bite of...

Take it , read well.
Take this empty space , Fill it well.
Take this silence , Listen well.
Nothing left to offer.
Nothing left to give.
Take this freedom , use it well.
Take this time , spend it well.
Nothing left to say.
Nothing left to do.
Take this life , live it well.
Take this heart , care for it well.
Nothing left to be.
Nothing left to see.
Take this goodbye , lock it in keep.
Take this smile , remember it's curve.
Nothing left to hope.
Nothing left to fight.
Take hope and dreams , Follow them.
Take freedom...
Take this silence , Listen well.
Nothing left to offer.
Nothing left to give.
Take this freedom , use it well.
Take this time , spend it well.
Nothing left to say.
Nothing left to do.
Take this life , live it well.
Take this heart , care for it well.
Nothing left to be.
Nothing left to see.
Take this goodbye , lock it in keep.
Take this smile , remember it's curve.
Nothing left to hope.
Nothing left to fight.
Take hope and dreams , Follow them.
Take freedom...

FALL'S ANTIDOTE TO ARTIFICE (10-6-2010, a.m., Palm Springs, California)
this fall
is not eclectic
high tech
digital electric
nor will it be
perceived
fully experienced
or appreciated
by most people
for what it
simply is
but will still
remain transcendent
for some
for those who can
just as
its always been
in its innate
natural essence
beyond the distraction
influence
and reach
of all those
man made
artificial things
which now
so densely permeate
and completely
overwhelms
this our present

falling over and over again in my heading down those stepping away for a minute from the facts
appears stranger than diction

SUDDEN CHANGE OF SEASONS (11-27-2002, Galveston Island, Texas)
a cold front suddenly
popped down
overnight
sticking its frigid
nose
into late novembers
business
two weeks of radiant
blue sky
joy
now completely devoured
by mauling roar
of last nights
howling north
winds
now this cold damp
slab
of concrete gray
encases and dulls
what only
yesterday
was raging beauty
of all those
autumn

Autumn Turning Winter
All over autumn leaves have fallen.
Mountains that were colored like stained glass,
now, from far away, are mostly gray,
the color of limbs, branches and trunks.
And here, close by, the leaves of autumn
lay brown on the ground
having become work for the rake and its owner.
The forecast is for rain, then colder weather is moving in
like the murder of crows that lives near by, but visits often
as though they were a band of bored neighborhood kids
going from house to house looking for mild mischief
or just something to do. ...

Pretty Birds
All the pretty birds have flown
All the leaves have fallen
The naked tree looks so alone
Empty, cold and barren.
Only bugs visit now
Preyed on by the spiders
And the moss and fungus bloom
Nothing left to bide us
All the leaves have fallen
The naked tree looks so alone
Empty, cold and barren.
Only bugs visit now
Preyed on by the spiders
And the moss and fungus bloom
Nothing left to bide us

FEUILLE MORTE
I feel so guilty
And it piles on- loneliness
Amid my loved ones
And it piles on- loneliness

Lieutenant Ginger and her Privates
She squirts in my face
saluting me with citrussy
starbursts of tangerine
---a lemonade affair
with solar flaired hair---
her lime-grenade smile
exploding its sublime
shrapnel
Color me at ease
yet blown away
by her autumn'atics
saluting me with citrussy
starbursts of tangerine
---a lemonade affair
with solar flaired hair---
her lime-grenade smile
exploding its sublime
shrapnel
Color me at ease
yet blown away
by her autumn'atics
