Vampires
We hear the gunfire off in the distance
We find ourself picking up pace in that direction
No more than filth covered skeletons trekking through the jungle
War harden with dead men eyes looking for the next skirmish
We know our positions and the way that we each move
The natural predators here give us a wide girth
For they have all agreed this is man's war
They have agreed to come together as one and clean up the battlefields
But for now and from afar they watch as we kill
They don't understand it, because we are defying the...

Better Days
There was a point in my life, where I had lost sight of the light.
Walking down dark roads and lonely nights.
Not even Satan could explain to me, my wrongs from rights.
To some people temptation was a disease.
But to me, it was an escape from what I had seen.
Not having to differentiate what dreams were from memories.
Previous wars, bullets whistling and people's screams.
Only a certain few can understand the words that tend to bleed.
Lost friends, loved ones, and casualties.
Always looking over my shoulder, checking for the enemy.

SPONTANEOUS MEDITATION ON THE TRANSLUCENCY OF WRITTEN WORDS (5-7-17, 10:10pm, Cathedral City ('Cove'), California)
('A Little, Itty-Bitty, 420, Q/A Ditty')
Q:
at what point
does outer
translucency
ever become
completely
opaque
A:
only whenever
it becomes
too overly
self conscious
of itself
~
yet still
even then
its only
succumbing
to a translucent
delusion
in which
it only seems
to have become
from invisible
thoughts
into clusters
of ink filled
words
newly opaque
to itself
alone
yet still
remains
translucent ...
