Sitting on my summer deck
Jerry plays, hot in the sun
I reach out with myself
to commune with nature

The very same one
I tamed with power tools

irony hangs thick on the air

merely bud

self-esteem stunted
not to blossom, merely bud
thoughts, its poison feast

centered on self

down the barrel spy
war’s storm clouds gathering slow
potus looks away

RIGHTS exist within
the STATE itself as a whole
hers being with CHILD

Matilda green Frankenstein lover
spectacular aurora borealis

where do the colors fly?

in my eyes
in the sky
on lightning bolts like glorious steeds
they gallop through my mind

touching
feeling
sensing awe

wrapped in cobalt
blue steel grin
my powder keg thoughts release again

alone in dark surpassing

focus on the butterfly
it’s teeth ensnared in blood
talons flash from velvet sheaths
lunar tilts the tide and mood

calm and quiet, the sparks that fuels
awake and last-gasp thrashing
someone’s face in nowhere now
alone in dark surpassing

brightness on the manic side
grit your teeth and smile
it’s how you wear the needful face
to please the masses mild

so pass along your stolen faith
epiphanies are solely centered
a fade to past will dwell in hope
the mercilessness now has ended

a small voice

secret stock in yesterday
pack it deep inside
cherished grudge and festerthought
unease and disquiet thrive

possession of the certainty
that they’re or then’s the balm
buried deep in cancer rot
nostalgic hues to warm

dislocated and blame direct
you manifest the cause
searchlight cast and scapegoat set
your doom repeats alone

thoughts and prayers, likes and hits
the void a tarnished spot
junk food diet of false concerns
emaciated soul of loss

set adrift in foul play
today’s forgotten ‘morn
it’s yours to choose and back to turn
the pain of growth is born

Spotlight Cast

Broken angel walking
loping footdrag hinder
his soul of doubt, reeks
sharp tang of slow decay

Hungry ghosts hunting
wander for want of the willing
clutched hand and finger claw
snatching hopes in tatters

Lightness of spirit
sweetest of flavors
patchwork self-penance
bitter on tongue tip

Scarlet vision target
intensity of beam
circle light spot
neglectful of rest

biting into tinfoil
choking on a breath of air
belly thoughts & tingle touch
fretting in a square

happiness is fear sublime
conjoined so much confused
lightness shades the smile was brought
self-flagellating you’re the you

second guess with certainty
the laughter of a child
mocking on in taunting chant
stinking word & sadist style

abandon turning cross or criss
the compass points ’round
revel in decidelessness
a tomb of toothless clowns
