Swimming Uphill
Burning and crashing Don’t feel like a phoenix Imbalance Inside, outside, and inside out Retesting my nesting… That oasis was somewhere… around here Faith is belief in the unseen What I currently see leans toward negating what there is left to have faith in Y’know like the light at the end of the tunnel being…

Add
Don’t miss my addictions The pleasure melded into afflictions So fucking long ago I’ve ridden out so many storms Thought it had toughened me up Until you slowly then suddenly Went away Now I have no functioning norms And a great big empty Where you used to be

Ikea Death Star
Your Ikea Death Star is here Maybe you can finally take a break from trying to keep up with the clowns Yes, I tend to believe that a little independence would be good Clear your head with non forgiving stick figures and separating the A’s, B’s and C’s maybe the H1-B ‘s while we’re at…

Thanksgiving Eve
I grew up in Pennsyltucky. Thanksgiving was a 5 day weekend. Thursday, Friday, the regular weekend followed by the first day of buck season. Wednesday night was a clusterfuck. Kids back from college.

Postulations
She’s gone like the wind hope it’s a gentle breeze Wherever she is now Somehow this cluttered house With my “tornado just came thru” decor Feels oddly, coldly vacant within it’s conflagration It echoes with melancoly You were So much More than a part of me Wondering just who I’ll be After I stumble into…

Mechanisations
Will I miss you When both of us are gone Will you miss me When we no longer rage against the dawn Or the other machines that tried to grind us down When my cynical sacrilegious-ness has launched it’s last sardonic clown And your inherent sugary sweetness is sadly no longer around?

Feast
The house is quiet but for the clickety clack of the dog’s nails otherwise padding softly ‘cross the floor I’ll turn to Music soon Something angry hyper rhythmic beat Something rough and tumble enough to calm the beast Tactile shadows sweetly sweep in Palate etched with bittersweet sketchings of pain Brain convulsing with an unseen…

Moving
Moving forward Through hight width depth and time Towards what some call destiny Where I see endless intersecting circles Never quite the same but familiar excepting the final destinations that go by the names of Life and Death
