STRIDOR
The sound
Muffled by smoke
Of a horse
Struggling desperately
To escape
A burning barn
Muffled by smoke
Of a horse
Struggling desperately
To escape
A burning barn

The Return
The sky darkens when the bus gets closer to the coast and the temperature drops for May, reminding me of swooping seagulls and sand blowing about in the wind, the grits getting into my eyes.
A large sign reads: Lyme House, 1 Mile. The driver takes a left, away from the road to the House.
Lyme House, where I first met her. A mile inland, tucked away in a private driveway hidden by trees and hedges. Mostly rich kids attended, but I got there on a scholarship, meals provided. From the start, I couldn’t understand why our hosts had chosen such a dismal town when they’d...

My favorite experiment
Are you desperate to reach me because of what I did to you?
What I might have injected into you?
My motives with you have changed, I seek of more useful means for you.
It'd be a waste if I ate you like the rest, so here's to being my new favorite tool.
My most prized possession.
My new favorite experimental venture.
There's a world of answers you could unveil to me in this position.
Be my controled muse under such intense observation.
What things we could discover with this obessively damning conviction....

Home is where the heart is
I wander far
I wander wide
I search for you
time passes by
I see a dream
but I'm not asleep
I'm wide awake
dare I take a leap
Into the unknown
unfamiliar ground
Nervous as hell
what will be found
If I dive in deep
sink far far down
will I come up for air
or stay there and drown
I stand on the edge
ready to jump
my hearts racing now
and I feel every pump
I close my eyes
I reach out my hand
It's trembling now
where will I land ...
I wander wide
I search for you
time passes by
I see a dream
but I'm not asleep
I'm wide awake
dare I take a leap
Into the unknown
unfamiliar ground
Nervous as hell
what will be found
If I dive in deep
sink far far down
will I come up for air
or stay there and drown
I stand on the edge
ready to jump
my hearts racing now
and I feel every pump
I close my eyes
I reach out my hand
It's trembling now
where will I land ...

Between scenes
Raw desire fits in gray zones / Evolving firespit in cadence and tone / The Wall was built through the nation’s homes / Vortex cone to echo chamber / No stranger to mania / No fucking wonder / Pennsylvania Ave Palace plundered, / Just passing hands / Alice’s Hungerlands / And nether parts / Malice scanned, / Rendered unto art / Callous hands / Tender hearts / Start off strong / By dawn reach a monstrous story arc / Longboarding after dark / Down the wrong parts; / Run into some “Big Trouble in Little China” kinda moment / Subtly redesign and own it / Time flows slower when I spit / Knower of...

Borne Fey Over Burnt Blanca
Borne Fey Over Burnt Blanca
A marital spat erupts between the Aztec creator and creatrix of humankind. The male God banishes a mortal woman to Mictlán the Aztec purgatory for praying to the female embodiment of the divine. There she will walk barefoot across burning sand and rocks. But the creatrix can finesse the denouement into feminine favor with a defector from hubby’s very own brotherhood.
Sand clouds flap-like angels wings across the dunes as the desert turns crimson. The blood of the virgin paints the sky. Her pain is buried deep in her heart. The Lord of Duality...

Holy Rollin' Ass Holiness
Holy Holy Holy
Assholiness
Like Words Spit Out From Twisted Lips
Too Tempted Not To Speak
Yet Truth Is Between The Lines
Like In A Store Buying Peanut Butter
Just To Practice Reading Too Dense Poetry
And The Shit We Say Latrine Like
When We Think No One Is Listening
Lips Smacking Mind Cracking
Like A Two By Four Over A Head
When You Can't Think Straight
And You Need A Third Shot Before You Can Get Up
Just Always Remember
We May Defecate...

I Saw You
I Saw You
I saw you, all of you
I saw you broken, wounded and bleeding
I saw you angry, confused and crying
I saw you hopeless, weak and lost
I saw you scared, un certain and scarred
I saw you struggling, stumbling and falling
I saw you, all of you
I saw you smiling, singing and silly
I saw you excited, creating and content
I saw you thinking, experiencing and discovering
I saw you start, endure and finish
I saw you willing, determent and proud
I saw you caring, kind and understanding
I saw you brave, courageous and strong ...

Web Of Lies
Stranger danger
web of lies
what could it harm
to socialize
you could be stalked or
taken for a ride
catfished, ghosted
turned to prey
so much danger
does await
web of deceit
tempting fate
web of lies
what could it harm
to socialize
you could be stalked or
taken for a ride
catfished, ghosted
turned to prey
so much danger

web of deceit

Amnesia And Menace
Footsteps outside her front gate on the night of the storm.
The shifting shadows darkening the pathway on the walk back to the cottage.
The timer switch adjusting position in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The call from the woman objecting to her living in the town.
The thick rural darkness.
Dead silence.
Rolling onto her side, she reaches for the pillow and presses the cool fabric against her face.
For a long time, she lies like this, listening to the steady rhythm of her breathing, longing for sleep, yet dreading it in case she...
