Disappearance
hiding in plain sight
shadows caressing the earth
disappear in shade

disappear in shade

Dark
dark's alright
as long as I can
see the light
at the end of the tunnel...
meanwhile cat wants her tummy-rub

hollow
There is blood
in your words
and abandonment
in your eyes
the music
that we once made
was now
static at 140 decibels
I taste your blood
live in your
abandonment
dangling my feet
over the edge
and wait....
in your words
and abandonment
in your eyes
the music
that we once made
was now
static at 140 decibels
I taste your blood
live in your
abandonment
dangling my feet
over the edge
and wait....

Last Stand
The argument has ended
Last words spoken
Tears begin to fall
The ostrich buries its head
In the sand
Last words spoken
Tears begin to fall
The ostrich buries its head
In the sand

I stand in a room with a butcher and me
Rather we talked on a phone
in a tone.
they tore me in half
with a quip and some sass,
a customer
and a rep
all alone.

Pondering
There is something
that I was born to be.
What that is, has
narrowly dodged me.

In Fear Of Fear.
In fear of fear
Smiling through
Countless sneers
And thin veneers
Sanity's assassin
Slits ear to ear
There, my dear
What's this for?
In fear of fear

sometime in the late afternoon
the sun
stands
defiantly
against
the sky
shedding
its skin
of warmth
but the
leaves
have
already
begun to
fall and
dance like
wistful
children
through the
afternoon air
I watch
my thoughts
change
color
and the
trees
understand

waiting for it
the years are
a gun barrel
pointed at
my head
the hours
are a bullet
everyday is
Russian
Roulette
sooner or
later...
