(2013)
Life’s obligations A daunting sea of turmoil With crest after crest I’ll hide in this briny shell Till the tide forgets my name
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Sweet little black box From metalic elogy Sleep now, sing no more
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
The mind of a girl That swirling vertex of bright Is unreachable So we put up these steel walls When we could have built a bridge!
Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
