The first awaken moment of your baby
The realization you are all they have
The short bouncing in the air laughter with drool

soaked in watercolor
crumbled images quiver
with a buzz of satisfaction
while the eyes of the viewer luster
for the meaning undercover
they dig and they shiver
alone ahead of the mirror
an empty frame without a face
lost in this fickle showcase
searching for the safe place
a bright and winding staircase
leading to

from green and the red
of yellow burns
jihad discretions
misdirections and corrections
from the rising sun
from the east and it
beats us and burns us
all day long
the day it starts early
not here but elsewhere

The wood remained silent as I watched the still outline of the black mass in front of me.
Not wanting to walk forward but unable to stop my feet I made my way to the outline.

assail my thoughts upon my reflection
words now negate symbolization
while still trying to purport implications
dictionaries of dust
unmarked and in flux
marks my generation's trepidation
the shock awe and terror
the weaponization of air

She wore her age like a burden.
Sagging shoulders and tired hands.
Lines etched the decades in a face that was once smooth and tan.
Eyes hollow she stands lethargic as her life slowly fades by.
Looking at her I knew this is where my destiny lies.
A world with no color void of

I'll miss our conversations I'll miss our fights
Everything we hated about each other
Pointed out each other's flaws constantly We were schizophrenic lovers...

A distant view of an offset gaze
Faroff purity grasped like evanescent snares.
Quick abduction toward another expansion of lungs.

"Dingalingaling” Goes that damned bell over the door.
Another customer coming for food.
I look up from my newspaper and get back to my feet. God they ache.
Short old and a beard.
