Unreal
Sometimes I feel like the
Velveteen Rabbit,
what the fuck is real
and does it hurt?
Not really connected.
Pixels paint my vision
this is a matrix,
the Oracle or Skin Horse
it's all the same
and the bunny always
gets burned.
Shapes.
Lines.
Space.
Solids.

Two For One
I dueled with my shadow
in the back of my brain,
I sliced and diced
until figuring out
we were one in the same.

God is the Creator But He DOESN'T Create Directly
God is the Creator but He uses MOTHERS (and fathers) to do the work of creating each generation.
He could create each individual Himself WITHOUT parents.
But that would be "labor intensive" for Him.
I mean it would be needless effort, even wasteful you could say.
Using parents to do the work definitely shows WISDOM on God's part.
This confirms the Bible which says "God created the world thru His wisdom"(Psalms 104.24; 136.5; Proverbs 3.19; Jeremiah 10.12; 51.15).
But this extends to God creating life. His methodology demonstrates wisdom.
But...

The meaning of life
Cleanse your bloody soul,
Become the problem of control.

“Jet Packs and Robot Overlords”
the biggest victory was
to remain in the
shadows, hoping for
a little bit of
sustenance
9 to 5
Covid-19
murder hornets
and jasmine filibusters
this pandemic has
got me writing less
than the thots taking
photos for their
audience of
incels
don’t worry, I’m
suffering too
and I know you’re
dying sooner
than you
thought you
would be
to remain in the
shadows, hoping for
a little bit of

that strange thing ©
it is that strange thing
that crawls and streams
into common and uncommon
beings and things
circulating in atmospheric feelings
on projected life screens
in-between the betweens -
that live in the core of souls and minds
entwined in ritual scenes not always divine
cloistered in colloquialisms gentrified spleens
full of cosmic meanings dividing and intruding
superseding normal eccentricities spirit beings
singing and chanting ringing bells and dancing
kindly weird and rustically dignified being
things...

their balding eyes ©
every day-
they survey
the sky
the ground
and
the land all around
secret societal protectors
that feast upon
desiccated entrils
bones and marrow
of recently departed critters-
from vermin insects and vectors
they are the dark interceptors
and scraggly dispatchers
of natures creatures-
that have gone away to their maker
on Shannon Ridge
their band is found
natures undertakers-
soaring on thermals above the ground ...

return
coming back into sometime
crepuscular glow’s direction uncertain
sickening spinning
at last fades to a whirl
tempo idles in this moment
it should feel like mercy
but i binge-eat the air
knowing there is too much time here to catch my breath
before i return
crepuscular glow’s direction uncertain
sickening spinning
at last fades to a whirl
tempo idles in this moment
it should feel like mercy

The Focus
They broke over hearing the news
poured paper thin as a ghastly headline
Jacks glance spotted it at once between the ink
he hugged his family, slid the curtain, observant of the rot outdoors
Lucy waved frantically from her window
her mirror image and Listerine losing appeal
she was unsure if he ever paid attention, eyebrows like skylines
images of his posture were shadowed in compromised serenity
Jack was hostage watching the ominous smoke rise above his family
thumps heard in the distance trampled like elephants
one...

Oppugnant
(fifteen of 30 - Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2020)
i think, maybe we all hide
our opposites from one another
all the time
from time to time
time and time again
moreso in a relationship
we plan on staying
together
i think often a certain
amount of forgetfulness
during an egressive
parting of the sees
occurs and an opposite
or 2 is uncovered
discovered
serendipitously out
Yesterday evening
i accidentally came upon
an opposite of Hers --
“ I WILL NEVER. . .! “ ...

NaPoWrimo 14/30 The price of this
Empty fears drop and fall / Bent mirrors in dark carnival funhouse halls / 20 years of punk rock wake up calls / Stake all I carve on waves that evolve / A grace for everything and everything spins at this pace / Infinite stasis / Meditate before I spit / Taking courses in some unknown land / Naked pyre stand / Empires unto sand / Undiscovered desires in every man / Never tire to re-shape by our own hands / Hover above the fire / Whispering those who still remember Prometheus’s escape plans / Nietsche’s empty space scan / That whole “abyss also gazes into you”? / Echolocation on his own...

Forget Me Not
A slow drip of a silhouette
From a window long ago
Whispers ripples on the water
Where the Forget Me Nots grow
I’m fixed in time that won’t unwind
With slivers of you inside my brain
Gone kisses under the street lamps
With the Forget Me Nots and their pain
Let the night birds fly you from sight
Where your shadow cannot show
Too dark for my mind’s eyes
And where Forget Me Nots can’t grow
From a window long ago
Whispers ripples on the water
Where the Forget Me Nots grow
I’m fixed in time that won’t unwind
With slivers of you inside my brain
Gone kisses under the street lamps
With the Forget Me Nots and their pain
Let the night birds fly you from sight
Where your shadow cannot show
Too dark for my mind’s eyes
And where Forget Me Nots can’t grow
