poem: much deeper
deep and much deeper
is the steep that gets steeper
from creeping to crawling
is this act, we’re all stalling
…
from sedate to tepid
the pace, insipid
fear of falling, always balling
is this act, we’re all stalling
…
telling, i was told
was a behavior, to be sold
instead of given
driven
by our souls
deep and much deeper
the story goes
never slows
but only when we choose to ignore [...]
poem: trunks
13. October 2009
freshly unfolded
from the trunks
absorbing limbs
and leaves
the sap of sorrow
with sugars
infecting tomorrow
sweetness to the taste
consumed in haste
all the way down
to the depths
of my skin
tingling edges
of cleanly kept hedges
are a dressing
of supposed blessing
thoughts we propose
enclose
but hide the heart
aren’t you smart?
i miss(ed)
plays in my mind
poem: fire follow
11. October 2009
frenetically firing
on few cylinders
mind overwhelmed
by heart’s hearth
through the floor
fire follow
fire follow
bricks and mortar
sand and straw
peace and faithfulness
shame, anger, sin
eyes long weary
searching for strength
been so long
one leaf on fire
tender tinder
then certainly more
wood catching flame
burn
water escaping heat
furious mist
scalding
i turn away
poem: window to my right
9. October 2009
window to my right
think about it often at night
weary and worn
the damage
weary and worn
window to my right
thinking
and sinking
further away
i wish i’d had
something
something else
frowns folding
lap’s empty
repeat
window to my right
hollow and scratchy
tunnels i can’t reenter
broken
disrepair
window to my right
in sight?
poem: fiddling bums
1. October 2009
twiddling thumbs
of fiddling bums
are easily seen
from the tippy top beam
early birds
of the squirrely herds
are first to the pond
of wolves, not fond
moronic people
of symphonic steeple
are easily seen
from the tippy top beam
are first to the pond
of wolves, not fond
bumbling babblers
stumbling stragglers
storytelling anglers
glory-spelling angers
cheeky chuckers
of sneaky suckers
hen or the egg?
sin or to beg?
eating our heards and ways
