Kaleidoscope

Unstitched. Threadless. Matches lit. Burnt.

​

Once you think you're hit pay dirt; you're spent.

You're spent.

​

Brooding on the blue blood pooled in your palm; the vampires's creepin' in to your calm. You say, "There's danger in an open hand", while you squeeze your arm in a toppled stance.

​

Grayed. Decayed. Set out to omit.

     Undercover of pain

     in a world of shit.

Masquerade.

​

Pumps lcoked, fixed to drain. Like crashed cars you hit hard on the black tar. 

Tissue scarred with the grit in your penciled frame, drawn maps apt to a freight train; unmanned.

​

Pruned florid strand, stuck in something darker than mud; the soldier with his own sword deep in his guts.

​

CUT free from these erected gallows

...Somewhere....

There's something somewhere...

​

Better tracks to follow.

​

To Kenny.

Memorial Day 2017

Fluid

​

A drop of blood.

A shove from the edge to the deepest end

To a creature crunching it's cud; 

Sent nutrient to digestive crud.

     Took a dive in the mud

     alive in the nook;

A welcomed change from the currents that they strayed

     And dangerous fodder for open water.

Hello sun,

​

It seems you're only popular when you've set; at least according to everyone i've ever met.

I greet you every morning with a glow on my face, you bring me roses and when you hit the wet asphalt, you're a love I can taste.

     I pray to you because you're the only god in my sight. I pray to you because you're the only light in my life. 

     I open the shades so your rays warm all who are within; slide across the windows and let the day begin
