a time of gathering
withered leaves swim like
fish in a dead breeze
the years search
for a retirement home
the night skies gives
the moon a Judas kiss
to betray the risng sun
the memory of love
sits in a dingy room
sharpening a razor
the gathering of angel
wings fluttering behind
the eyes of damp sleep
the gathering of tears
into small puddles where
children's anoint sadness
the gathering of flowers
begging for mercy from

Fair Loss
That tint to the alto,
A shrill call to
See a glowing pastel, piercing,
In the night,
The deathly colors of
Your dreams inside,
As your fabricated veil
Enforced me to
Forfeit the atmosphere of
My aura, in a muse of your purple haze.
The cloudy emanation,
About to burn out,
As a fallen star,
Takes me to your grave,
There's a melody and melancholy,
Decorating and dedicating roses
To the memory of your voice,
Seeking the attire of
Kings, queens, royal, gothic,
In remembrance of...
A shrill call to
See a glowing pastel, piercing,

The deathly colors of
Your dreams inside,
As your fabricated veil
Enforced me to
Forfeit the atmosphere of
My aura, in a muse of your purple haze.
The cloudy emanation,
About to burn out,
As a fallen star,
Takes me to your grave,
There's a melody and melancholy,
Decorating and dedicating roses
To the memory of your voice,
Seeking the attire of
Kings, queens, royal, gothic,

Jefferson City- How in the World Did This Happen?
I had gotten to Jefferson City after roughly ten hours in the car. I made a minor detour in Nebraska so I could cross from Nebraska into Missouri and cross a state border I had never crossed before. I planned the same thing for the next night, so I could cross from Missouri into Kentucky. Like normal, I got settled in my room and found the closest, nearest thing to a sports bar to have dinner, a beer, watch football, and talk to people. I walked in and looked for the seat at the bar that gave me the best chance to get picked up. There was a seat near a corner with a man on the right and...

Preservation
Lapping waves gently contact
the shore -
where sits,
Just Her.
Limpid pools withholding tears.
Solemnity of sorrow
so sincere -
serene
almost.
She is elemental
supernal,
heart -
shaped in art.
Solitary as a ghost
unseen
An abyss of inky things
before her
seen
unseen
Sacred vigil
of the veil
Swaying
Waves
lapping
Outside of time
reason
&
rhyme
Portraying
All things beautiful...
the shore -
where sits,
Just Her.
Limpid pools withholding tears.
Solemnity of sorrow
so sincere -
serene
almost.
She is elemental
supernal,
heart -
shaped in art.
Solitary as a ghost
unseen
An abyss of inky things
before her
seen
unseen
Sacred vigil
of the veil
Swaying
Waves
lapping
Outside of time
reason
&
rhyme
Portraying
All things beautiful...

earth
wilting in the dryness of dread
a cruel world with everyone smiling
I always wonder are they lying
they have no sorrow
or are they actors on a stage
how did I get left out
I didn't get the script
I'm just getting through life
missing the secret cues
that say smile now
cry here this is an acceptable time
cut the grief you should be done
oh forget it you should be happy
ignore the foreboding feeling in your gut
when kids aren't safe today
cause our women are targets
because our beautiful earth...
a cruel world with everyone smiling
I always wonder are they lying
they have no sorrow
or are they actors on a stage
how did I get left out
I didn't get the script
I'm just getting through life
missing the secret cues
that say smile now
cry here this is an acceptable time
cut the grief you should be done
oh forget it you should be happy
ignore the foreboding feeling in your gut
when kids aren't safe today
cause our women are targets

Hello? Who's Out There?
Elizabeth was
taking a shower before
she heard someone step
into the bathroom which made
her say "Hello? Who's out there?"
Russ came home from work
and saw that the front door was
forced open. He went
into the bathroom and found
his roommate slashed with a blade.
