Back bent burrow legs digging in

Against the struggling mountain scene

Overgrown weeds meet a farmer

I had such a fun time!

Talking stories with my sisters

Watching the kids play

The smell of ribs and hot links playing tango with my tummy

A game of bones accompanied

'Unwanted' Ramblings
.


I wonder why I am still alive.
Is it the air that I breathe?
Is it the routine?
The waking and the sleeping
The sleeping and the waking
Acting as no more than bookends
To the suffering between.

I wait for him.
I stay up late and

imagine you were lying on the ground. 

but you didn’t know where.

you didn’t know why.

and you didn’t know how.

 

imagine you saw the world as if it were flat.

The tirade of empty words

from an unfeeling heart

falling down to the molten pit

as he regurgitates into my lap

the words that sting like hot grease

-------------------------------

I lay-stand fuzzy falling straight still-

As he takes his bowie knife and guts me

de-pelts me and flings my carcass over into

the pool of

The Clue

rose attar on suede
warm velvet petals poised on
finespun leather strands.

Furtive Freeze

tilted bedroom window
sheepishly rounds up the cold.
bare skins sink under blankets.

I Miss You

Sleepy paws resting
Adamantly on my shins;
Taken for

The light seeps through the blinds

Reflecting bars of light

Locking me in this quiet room

While laughter drifts in through the window

Mocking me to join the party

To forget myself

To spin freely under the stars

While sprinklers

My lungs burst from the secret beating inside my chest

The worms crawl in

And the worms crawl out

 How to burn slowly and sweetly upon the smile...


My muscles quiver from the promise made inside my head

It eats my eyes

It eats my nose

How to want passionately and profoundly upon
