Guilt
"Guilt"
A morbid device-
Invented by those
Who forbid "vice"
Intended to close
Ones own eyes
To what is real
Behind full-blown disguise

Where did I go?
The child that I was
At 8 or 10 years old
Indeed I did grow
More vivid are my thoughts
My mind is a world
In which my identity is lost
Where is that boy
Spontaneous and filled with joy

All powerful, devouring
A slack jawed
Half cocked
Goon.
Ash no longer lingering,
He keeps on fingering
A dull cigarette.
All he can see is
Red.
Hot necked,
The sweat

All summer I have watched the goldfinches feasting,
first upon sunflowers, perched
at the edge of a dial, tucking in
their sleek bright heads to pluck
the oily seeds.
Then upon the cosmos.
What is there? Nectar perhaps? Plump aphids?
The cosmos sway their blowsy purple heads
under the heft of these hollow birds.

a shrieking, sweat-soaked panic the morning he recalled the horrifying details of the night in which his body confirmed, through tossing and turning for 45 minutes until about 2:30 am, that perhaps he could have had something.

its thrown from the perspective of the prisoner who wonders how the world appears without him.
i wonder how my world now looks!
do they still enjoy that graceful sunshine?
do the waves break at the rocky shores?
the way they strike my desolate mind.

By the light of the full moon, your lovely form I glance.
To you I come very soon; in the night we now dance
Sweet kisses now drugging me; soft touch sets me ablaze.
Voice singing to me gently; into your soul I gaze.
Many a time has gone by, yet still you stay the same.
Into your night-wings I'll fly. My love, tell me your name.
Woman of night, hear me thus these words you inspire.
The stars are now meant for us, and you're my heart's fire.
Now you go to the night-skies, as my tears tell me true;
Thus my sad, forlorn heart sighs, "Nocturna, I love you..."

Such true love
And so it was
The heart was cut
The blood let
And knew this thing
That never was
Of fresh milk skin
And Innocents
Quaver ascent
Euphoric rise
Beyond the under sky

Earth
spins on,
constantly
counting the time
hoping we humans
will not murder ourselves
or her, our mother, as well
Earth’s environment is dying
communities are failing to boot.
Could this be some heavenly punishment
some retribution for killing God’s son
amazing, the things we justify
seeking murderous salvation
wipe ‘em out, push ‘em aside
allow gluttonous rule
while masses suffer
thinning the herd
on this poor
spinning
Earth

fearful
fretting
in apprehensive silence
waiting for the next shoe/bomb to drop
hearing both sides blaming
each pointing accusatory fingers
claiming the other guy started it
choosing up sides
