faces fell off long ago for me
in the land of giants
but yours

i remember when it did though
and i was never quite as sad

and you were right when you said
that i never had one

He was talking of colors that fell from the sky

the kind that paint the streets with the blues

that’s all he ever wanted to sing

and play with the way the colors fade away

into the crooked concepts of yesterday

into those same watered down streets of color

unsure folks glare into

THE ‘UNWANTED’

WE ARE NOT ASKED AND NOR DO WE REQUEST
TO BE SCATTERED UPON THIS EARTH LIKE SEEDS TO THE WIND
BUT FROM A TRIUMPHANT UNION AND A MILLION TO ONE SHOT
A NEW LIFE IS CREATED AND THIS IS WHERE I BEGIN

EMERGING INTO THE CONFUSION I

Time walks on

waiting

Bodies to catch up

to brains

The mind traveling –

old age and back again

No sensitivity to

the owner

And yet…

Still…

I’ve seen myself by Time

lost baby selfish wants

a child to play

an old woman in bed

a teenager popping pimples

myself…

Catching up to

my own

Penetrating
This is fight and flight poetry
I'm still on the run;
Where there's a fraternity
There ain't yet a one.

Can't fathom the truthfulness
Can't play the fairway
As torture is to torture-
Oil goes to flames.

Knowing numbers are one
Spark the

Recipe For Ukrainian Borsh/American Soul Stew

"Nina and I represent how
The Creator envisioned
His doll-like human creations
Homogenizing our species
Who says we have to only
Fall in love with those
Who look just like us
Or speak only the same
Language as the place where we were born?
We are meant to
Cross-pollinate like the bees;
Flower-to-flower;
Each one teaching

I have turned a new shade of Winter
I am no longer who I once was but something new
someone reborn in flesh unfamiliar
to long parted from she whom bore me
to long chained by he whom owns me
my debt
time time to think and realize
that highs and lows belong

I try and try

but I can’t let go

I hold my breathe

But I don’t know.

I hope for air to seep deep through my skin

and into my lungs

but it’s a smooth pain

that makes me collapse

into a relapse

how can you face me. the bright light revealing a replica of your intentions. i see you there. tracing the carefully meditated lines. floating on the edge of my destruction. like you want to destroy me? you cannot burn a heart of ashes you cannot penetrate my mind of steel. my moat wont let you

rain falling and awaiting sneaky fibers. hiding the truth i lie on finding the lies i trip on. when will i know? reflections in the mirror nothing but particles of light finding their way through my dreary face. it is the morning that catches hope. and night that seals the tomb. (enclosing what is left).

A Souvenir

When you get up to go

I will hopefully not quiver my lip

or stand to bite my nails

as I lean against the railing to push you off

gone for life

I'll always be glad

I guess I'll never know

what it's like to

There is this sad
slow
drag ass feeling today.
I still do not have enough money to get out
of here.
Stuck.
And.
And I still don't have the money
I owe that dealer
who hooked me up
that one time
because he thought me
