I’m fading away from you

How I don’t know too soon

In search of the facts I drift to the past

But my memory can no longer do

What it takes to find

Run.

Lets run
Lets hide
Lets run
Lets fly
Lets run
Lets escape
Even if it is only a dream.

They found me there

while they were cleaning the attic

in the bureau with the missing top

stuck in the back of the drawer.


They pulled me out

and brushed the dust away from my face.


How they did rejoice to see me!


Remembering with sunset eyes

All the

REFLECTING ON A MAN THAT WAS THERE TO HELP TO MOLD ME
AND AT TIMES I MADE HIM MAD BUT IT WAS WORTH EVERY SCOLDING
ALWAYS STRONG AND HOLDING OUR DYSFUNTION ALL TOGETHER
HE RAISED ME LIKE A FATHER AND NICK AND ANTHONY LIKE BROTHERS
WE ALL LIVED ...WITH EACH OTHER

And so it was at the end of Jesus the rains began

And the rain filled twelve ponds and became twelve lakes

Each lake having Jesus rain but turning twelve different colors

Each of the twelve lakes sure that

The Book?

Blaze ideology with forgiveness in tongue.

Age bends knee’s with the regrets of the young.

Alter faith in promises of love.

Frost bitten window panes

those messengers of the outside world

tell me to be cautious

pulsating blood beneath my fleshy hands press against

the spyglass into an external realm where

a giant push from the heavens and the whistle of cool breath

are enough to topple me over

The quiet visitor

weighs down

Sour charades 
taint the pill pop parades 
man made malcontents 
dig their own graves 
trail of tear think tanks 
concoct their new pranks 
materializing miasmas 
is mass media mind agendas 

Crawling in the ditches of deficit 
clutching a U-haul blanket 
sipping on a bottle of Johnny 
choking on the ashes of Commies 

Fascist

Serum Water

Unleashed is the terror of serum water

Fluid rages engaging in fluent conversation

Communicating warning by its fonixless roar.

The power of h20 uncontained unstructured

washing the frontal lobe of impure thoughts

scrubbing it punishing it with witess waterlog.

Ideas swim over the top of drowning neurotransmitters

then morph into free floating fear.  Serotonin

Showers of smiles
like shadows of billowing
clouds on blankets
of fairytale snow.

Laughter like endless
miles of stars
shimmering off
the tip of your nose.

Gazing at crystals
fallen from heaven
collecting to become
pools of life.

But these old memories of rain keep me waiting
