Black Sheep

One of these things just doesn’t belong
One of these things is not like the others.

And so the black sheep makes his way across the pasture,
Roaming alone, determined in the search of no other.

60’s spent 70’s

deboomsed & nigh but spending

on-goes…not of me

this diatribe of you who

objets d’subjection aye

 

2.5 billion

of age you are told fillies

an’ mares alike to

the proscripted dawn rite for

yawning peeing abluting

“I killed her”

Ubiquitous trails and streams

Glass top falls of caffeine strings

Steam into circuitry of cities

I hear capacitors crying out mercy

I’ve killed the whole world

I hear my internet girl

“Goodbye”

dreaminess
jousting at the brow

embracing the riding-ridge
a girl's locket

going on
until they don't

A Rush of Blood

A rush of blood paints my face red.

Bow your head in silence.

So many things you shouldn't have said.

--so many things you didn't think through.

A rush of blood paints my face blue.

Bow your head in silence.

So many things you want to change.

The Irony of Iron

Sky streams gleam against flying iron beams

Shine finds rhyme in these highest of dreams

Mig inert clouds weld together drifting seams

Smoke signals weld trails of rich smoky dreams

High in the skies fly men on carbon steel wings

Firm his stance upon the deck

Anchored in his thoughts of home

A mothers love a noose about his neck

Came her Divine before his coming home

Sea hides his lies of tears for her there all alone

Aye this son of blood and sea that of emerald green

An Irish son salting his bounty home in a cold Irish Sea

These scars have washed

Away with clarity,

A daring change if pace

From baseless remorse.

Of Course,

What exists is not

Merely between me and my sins.

Broke down day

Broke down heart

No birds will sing

 

Finally!

No more

Sorrow

 

Or season

To breathe

In dust

Envy for Robert

.

Hauntingly I see you

Surely lusting of life

Snow salt’s butterflying down from trees

White the camouflage like toupee leaves

Flowering into word burning eyes

Curious about things, curious indeed

But stalking, always stalking

With dewy clouds you breathe

In this, the dead cold of winter

You sir burst into spring

.

When the sky falls down
When death covers towns
The world no longer spins around
The world sits upside down
In a time with nothing left but frowns
All darkness is aloud by laughing clowns

 

The world is eating its self away
When there is nothing left but memories of trust
Suffering what we have made from our lust
Every good emotion is faded to dust
For the few who are left staying alive is a must
When everything is pain and the wind has no gust

 

This is our life after apocolypse
This is the feeling of a devils kiss
If man only knew we would have prevented this
Now we sit here while happiness is amiss
We laugh at ourselves when we think the word bliss
We say in deppression for our hearts are now stiff

   I come through the door, covered in germs that are not so isolated anymore.

I strip off my clothes, careful not to splash the cooties anywhere.

   And I start running a hot bath.

 

   I look at my bathroom.

The tub in particular, grimey after 3 months of only one salary, and I think of how my landlord, wants to raise the rent.
