Spider Babies
It’s been 5 months since
We’ve spoken
And I’ve been stirring it up,
It’s all in my head
I’ve tried to forget
A conversation with my husband;
Me: I don’t want spiders
in my room,
Should we do something?
Husband: no, when they hatch
They’ll all blow away
That spider out my window
She’s got babies
A tiny cocoon;
Like how I call my robe
When I see my bebe’s
Morning face,
My cocoon’s only for my
Littlest ones
I want them to remember
These silken warmseys threads
It’s...

Husband: no, when they hatch

the final insult
I stood condemned for choosing sanity over family
nevertheless I stood my ground
doing what's best for me
but you...you threw poisoned darts
guilt-laden barbs
ever the daggers at tender back
feeling sorry for yourself
for taking my power back
I actually hate that expression
what power - as a child - could I really call mine
when you were supposed to protect me
instead you were grooming me for the monster who molested me
take it back indeed
I have a better idea
you take it back

Betrothed To The Dark
Betrothed to the dark side,
my innermost self, Welshman,
embracing one's soul, dressed
in Saks Fifth Avenue.
Often accompanied by an inquiry
in narcissistic transparency
by the insinuating hoodwinking fools.
Playing patty cake's inebriation,
as society gives them a pass.
Betrothed to the dark side,
my innermost self, Welshman.
my innermost self, Welshman,
embracing one's soul, dressed

Often accompanied by an inquiry

by the insinuating hoodwinking fools.
Playing patty cake's inebriation,
as society gives them a pass.
Betrothed to the dark side,
my innermost self, Welshman.

The Aquarium
Welcome to the aquatic shed
the only way out is through.
Sharpened fins swim overhead,
dinky critters distract below.
Gaze upon fragmented life
where every stroke rehearsed.
The devoted watch with wearied eyes
as each relation is unearthed.
Tempered glass reflecting screens
showing this season’s outtakes.
We mourn behind the scenes
then laugh when the conveyor breaks.
So tunnel under bothered blue
or stand tall on mortal limbs.
If only impulse you can subdue
you can choose to sink or swim.
the only way out is through.
Sharpened fins swim overhead,
dinky critters distract below.
Gaze upon fragmented life
where every stroke rehearsed.
The devoted watch with wearied eyes
as each relation is unearthed.
Tempered glass reflecting screens
showing this season’s outtakes.
We mourn behind the scenes
then laugh when the conveyor breaks.
So tunnel under bothered blue
or stand tall on mortal limbs.
If only impulse you can subdue
you can choose to sink or swim.

a prefect gift
a ragged breath
naked and undressed
kisses, hands a wondering
love and passion a plunder
desire overtakes you and me
where do you begin
where do I end
one from start to finish
heart and soul completely
what God joined, perfection in it
a prefect gift he has given
that pure gift to the one
that gift to the one you marry
not for every tom dick or mary
naked and undressed
kisses, hands a wondering

Birthright
I deserve
You deserve
We deserve
We deserve better than this
I’m not inspired to fight for the freedom
To be a parasite
To say anything, consequence-free
To live in denial, delusion and distraction
To worship the “free market” and its occupying armies
To destroy the very planet we share
To commodify everyone and everything we love
To hate everything we are
“Freedom to” can become “freedom over”
When it flows from a society divided
I’ve earned
You’ve earned
Everything I have,...

bullet points
when outmanned and
outgunned in certain
situations
don't stick around long
enough to see how many
bullets will be fired
or to find out
how badly those
bullets are going
to hurt
outgunned in certain

don't stick around long

needle in the eye
morning arrived like
a needle in the eye
platefuls of crap
and carnage
being served seconds
without finishing firsts
don't bother holding your
breath when diving
onto the rocks below
the octaves are one
cent out of tune
the fourths and
fifths, tragic
another day
another Hindenburg
disaster
even the white flags
flee in terror
a needle in the eye
platefuls of crap
and carnage
being served seconds
without finishing firsts
don't bother holding your
breath when diving
onto the rocks below
the octaves are one
cent out of tune
the fourths and
fifths, tragic
another day
another Hindenburg
disaster
even the white flags
flee in terror

Jamboree
Jamboree
Young catholic people from far-flung places are arriving
in Lisbon, plain young boys and girls looking sober smiling
and waving to the camera.
Dressed in jeans and T. shirts that say something about peace
no hint of rebellion here, and no drugs needed as they are filled
with the holy spirit.
No uppity youth here, no green hair no torn jeans showing
knees and thighs, and no placard protesting against
the rotten government, the rainbow banner is banned.
In Portugal this is a big deal, people are jubilant...

The Jigsaw of Life
Life is just a jigsaw of moments pieced together with acceptance of now . I found the corner bit. It's appreciating that this moment Is far more prepossessing beguiling, profound a drop of nectar. The jigsaw of your life is asking you to be fully present with the unique asymmetrical piece in your hand now don't worry about the complex two dimensional wooden pieces of life past and future.They can't be joined together for one is gone and one isn't here yet.
