Messenger Of Grief
Showing up unannounced
to deliver grim news
it is the worst part of the job
speaking of things
that will break them
for a lifetime
And those that have no answers
haunt and gnaw at you,
knowing that if that one piece of the puzzle
could be discovered
they could have closure
and as pained as they will always be,
they would never have to wonder
who it was that silenced that person they loved
Some embrace me,
after it sinks in,
steadying themselves
from being sucked into the depths
of that...

A fragile doll
My nails dig your flesh
I moan like a bitch
You insult me
You treat me badly
I’m a fragile doll in a storm of violence

He is a priest not a soldier
Not in the line of fire
Christ wasn’t trying to start a revolution
And neither is he.
Sons of Spanish explorers
Kneel beside daughters with calloused hands
From picking coffee beans
When the sun dawns
Until Sol falls to his knees
And sinks like the parishioners
In humble obeisance
So those of African descent lend their ear
To absorb this lesson so long coming
For their ancestors who wore chains
But now gaze from the pulpit
As ghosts in the genes ...

I dream of souls
I try not to oversexualize myself
Even though my body buys men
Currency heaven sent
Permission for a kiss they give me ten
Cheapest attention
Any girl can redemption
Men see my apprehension
Sense my tension
Know I know their intentions
Hope for dissension
But I can't pay contention
Enter a room in where only I
Am in detention
This is the most love guys can
He told me he liked me and I ran
In a muffled room with his pal
Under my shirt put their hand
Just men who adore
''Horse kicks for...

Cold Tongue Of Twilight
When talcum is the cold tongue of twilight
the mirror of the soul's absolute chaos
of dark disharmony among the minions
narcissistic grape vines going to vinegar
listening to antiquated Sasquatch
the mother tongue of deception
trumpet it's lunacy using a stopwatch
listening to the shoe drop as old fools
run with the devil as their wheels fall off
when talcum is the cold tongue of twilight
the mirror of the soul's absolute chaos
of dark disharmony among the minions
narcissistic grape vines going to vinegar
listening to antiquated Sasquatch
the mother tongue of deception
trumpet it's lunacy using a stopwatch
listening to the shoe drop as old fools
run with the devil as their wheels fall off
when talcum is the cold tongue of twilight

Early Settlers
It was done from afar
an' done real well
and the dogs had their fill
when those beasties fell
they were sore perplexed
couldn't understand, see,
how we could throw blows.
'twere a mystery.
Well, they're all gone
from round here, at least,
an it sure we're a shame
for those pale skinned beasts
who stood like men
grunted summat like too,
but couldn't understand
when arrows punched through.

I Thought..
We send our thought across the void
out to the furthest stars,
a call that all hunter's employ
in leafy glade or marsh.
Such a force of thought we send
billowing past the sun,
and as a force it will never end
till innocence should come.

Musing on early Neighbours.
Where do Neander's go
said sapient to mate,
we don't see much of 'em, although
we used to do of late.
I spied 'em when I courted you
at your Pa's old place,
and to win you had no recourse
but bash in his old face...
Our families feuding fading now
more hungry mouths to fill,
but Neander's don't come sniffing round
to admire our kiddies kill's.
Where on earth do Neander's go
when roar voiced hunter's meet,
with baying dogs and scream of hog
we rip apart to eat

Desperately Petty
I'm so tired of thinking about you.
Utterly sick of it.
There's no doubt in my mind that you have not thought about me once.
But here I am every night,
With your hands still holding tight onto my throat.
Your fingerprints faded but never left.
I hate you more than my lungs crave air.
You are the beetles under my skin,
Always crawling just under the surface.
I loathe every thought I have,
Every fear that has a clear line to you.
I live to remember that which I am desperate to forget.

The Cholesterol Murders
The script is pretty basic, quite simple and rather ingenious if I do say so myself.
Most people are unaware about the different types of cholesterol and how it impacts your health but I won't delve into their differences at this time.
1. The Set Up.
There is a person that you admire/like/interested in, and both of you are attractive but everyone has that one thing they like to see in the other person. In her it's eye color other than the most popular brown.
The delusional and Uber cruel religious agents (this may or may not include the person you're talking...

My friend was murdered.
It seems like something that happened to someone else.
Surreal.
The story was on the news.
H called to tell me.
I don’t recall how I felt at the time.
Another summer, another death.
The third year in a row.
——-
I must call B and tell her the news.
She probably already knows.
It is the right thing to do for a friend.
—-
I did not realize I was a victim of a crime until the funeral.
The widow gave a speech.
She said we were all touched by this event.
All victims....
