	Six Feet = Three Bricks

	On winters night our mom would coddle,
	keeping moppets warm was quite a trick.
	Two feet always got the hot water bottle,
	while the other six feet got heated bricks.
	
	Heated and sheathed before finding beds,
	neath quilts, that seemed in weight, tons.

A sweet pine tree scent grips the swift air
As the wind blows through my untrimmed hair
Tree’s leaves spring off limbs like suicide attempts
Never to hit the ground below, life held in contempt
Clouds scurry through the sky in search of its end
Birds, airplanes, and mountains its...

A stone turned up
where no stones turned up
where stones turn up,
where we dug today...

A stone turned up
when no stones turned up
where stones turn up,
when we dug today...

Maybe if you saw it with
my eyes, and from my 
cracking heart...Maybe if you
held it in my shaking hands,
maybe...

Today the earth is pleasant 
Last night, I slept with the half-moon 
Looking down to a wary peasant 
Working so to grab a spoon 

Today the earth is spherical 
Tomorrow, I'd be buried six feet above 
It's a nasty place, but not cynical 
We always...

I am six feet tall
I am 59
I am not a monster
Don't hit me
I am extended in space-time
And never stay on a dime
Don't overrate me.
I run between left and right
And sleep between day and night
Don't cheat me.
I move clockwise
But dream anticlockwise
Repeat me.
If you can
Meet me.








I am...

dead in the ocean with a broken neck ~ a fledgling chick hits the deck 

dragged down below the waves ~ can angelfish fathom a watery grave

I am immune to the pain, the broken bones
He said he loves me
Yet he beats me
“Babes mi promise … mi nah guh hit yuh again…mi love yuh”…words with no meaning
I try to leave him but he finds me …I can’t hide
My battered body
My scarred face
My...

Locked up in a hotel 
stronghold, dog leash
dog pound 
every nook and cranny downtown 
don't high tale it to the gutter 
six feet under in the ground...

Under the blue sky 
A fainted love rest 
The nature’s shade of leaves
A dark place inside
A light heart prevails
Cursed it was on 
The day of his existence
Thy shall remain a cursed 
And never be free
 An angle she was 
Within the curse 
She made him...

i kissed the sky to move the stars
to feign the past with the present mind
in the dreams i'm always somewhere else
in my soul i'm never there
i opened my door to see the day
but night comes in so i stay
it goes like this through all time...

Six feet down,
Is the only love I’ve ever known.
Six feet down,
Is the only place I have left to go.

Frozen and lonely,
Lost and only,
Searching for the truth.
I’m dying to know what I once knew.

Only six feet down, 
Lay one prefect crown.
Six feet down,
Is the most perfect...

Six feet under 
No one even cares 
Six feet under 
No one knows you there
Six feet under 
From head to toe 
Six feet under 
Lays another john doe
Six feet under
It’s a disgrace 
Six feet under
No name in this place
Six feet under
Another flower bed
Six feet under
No...

To keep you from telling others your testimony

Your dear old mommy wants you six feet deep

She don't want anyone to know her business

You see she is filled with self-pity and can't stand

To talk to me because she is filled with the spirit

Of the thief. She'll...

Day by day
I dare not say
On how it feels
To not say what needs to be spoken
So here is the token
For the gate
Sic feet under

I feel the feelings he feels
As I kneel above him
Trying to deal with the guilt
Of what they had done

It feels as though
The...

You all stood silent
as they lowered my body down.
Tears fell from women cheeks
silently 
as my body reached its sacred ground.
I prayed for you to smile in belief
Remember with God above I feel no grief.
I made the choices 
I made them with ease.
so don't you cry...
