Her Love Exit -She spoke about Love as though it were a ghost
that haunted Her heart, a gobblin of garrulous grind & grime,
a spector of weakness that if caught
in the peryphery of One's soul would intensify
as a headache storm swells inexorably into the daytime,
a terror of exposure to...

Exit 7b1.
they say everything here is
somewhere in the middle of the road
where names get bleached and keys forget about their doors
and there is something we should dig our coated nails into;
the layers of regret and anger
that our mothers tell us to peel off
2.
but the...

ExitWhy are you here?
Your familiar skin,
Radiating miscellaneous emptiness
Trembling wanton security
Filled with finite smiles
Infinite complexities
Why should we indulge you again?
A rejected buffet of frozen tenderness,
Aching for high horses to help you gallop
Hunger, no vacancies to reside in your malnourished smile
Wishing for a soldier-in-arms
Wishing for a human-in-arms
As...

Exit SignAs days go by,
And the pain gets worse,
I long to ride,
In my hearse
That "Exit Sign"
Above the door,
Calls to me,
Like never before...
I'm not a coward,
I'm not a fool,
But living with pain
Breaks the rule...
I hold back,
in fear of God,
And, I guess,
that's kind of odd,
Yet constant pain,
Just...

Love, the Exit StrategyAs I prepared to come here, my family, relatives, and friends anticipated my arrival. By prepare, I mean that I was in a developmental process that took
nine months. I only knew that I was inside a warm and secure place, and I was...

Exit Ramp
The exit ramp looms large just up ahead,
though still an unknown distance ‘round the bend,
a terminus of sorts.
Perhaps a point from which to send
us out of time constraints, into the now,
the means by which remain unknown, just how
exactly, this all ends.
To fret, a waste, ’tis...

ExitThe EXIT sign was flickering
above the hallway door.
It was the only light within
the lonely corridor.
The flutter of the light,
it drew me like a moth to flame.
I walked along the creaking boards
as Death whispered my name.
The eerie voice, it called to me...

Last Rite Exit
Nearing the end of their fleeting days,
short-inhaled lives infirmly await the long dark
Garrulously tilting fermented liquids in a park,
they watch their former youthful ways
Addled memories of a once robust stride
keep the brown paper covered truth hidden well
Selfish pleasures have left their flesh bodies frail,
weary envious...

Jennifer Stein's ExitDriving dizzy on a distant road
My eyes and lungs are burning inside
I'm almost home; I have to rest
Romance shall raise no roses
I receive a curiosity of pain
As I lay,
Friends come beside my bed with wet kisses
Strangers with fancy suits brush their clean fabric on...

Epigram
My Final ExitI'm dying and I'm angry because it isn't fair,
and with my family, friends and loved ones this news I will not share.
It's hell for me to be going through all of this alone, but that is the cross I must bare.
It's my last gesture to...

The Nearest ExitThe Nearest Exit …
… discarding memories,
suffocating in nostalgia’s
throttling grip,
I flee, moment by moment,
away from the now,
seeking, yearning,
chasing phantom clouds of
promise,
coveting shrouded whispers of
hope,
seducing empty vessels of
belonging,
I flee, moment by moment,
away from the now,
seeking, yearning,
lost, alone, torn,
slowly crawling to the nearest
exit...

A Quiet ExitA Quiet Exit
Poetry is disciplined
However, sometimes at the executive table
when a situation is not going according to plans
It's better to excuse yourself because of evil man
however, before leaving, relief a quiet fart
then make the exit, gracefully glance
over your shoulder and smile
watch and...
