Us
Slash the stars hot
Strive to shift all

When I Bit My Tongue Part 1
WHEN I BIT MY TONGUE

Did someone think of me?

But the matter...

Ruins and Precious Things
Ruins are abounding in that mind of yours;
Walls that have crumbled are causing pause for step.
Treading lightly in intention;

Perched Near the Volcano
these radiating, seemingly 
endless rows of dust-choked porticoes
in the bustling Roman forum.

Receding to the vanishing point:

sun-drenched streets,
Ways to, hours for due mythology;

busy temples; gleaming marble...

A Guy, a Pony, and a Pillow
Lonely roads,
He walked unstopped.  
By his side were a 
Pony and a pillow

A blessed evening by sin unspoiled,
Cleansed by blood not by sin tarnished
Upon the accursed tree of Calvary,
Shed by one by his own people banished.

A shoelace tight that won’t untie
A hole we dig with cloudy skies

while you’re still alive

The sentence unstopped,
