Full weight! Full length a naked yoke
There you set my piece at thine brow
There I grew to thankfull...

The Sounds of the Seasons
...The clamor heard
In the urgently raucous awakening of Spring
Slowly dies down
During the lethargic sibilance of Summer,

With the crunchy tanginess of Fall,

Pain
...I take the world's pain.
Reflexively
Unconsciously
With such great facility
The globe's own personal Giver
Autologous torment on the other hand
Hides in a maze of inaccessibility.
It is h...

These Shards of Bitterness
...These shards of bitterness, they sting
a shielded moon in hiding
for I have nothing left to bring
but for this fear abiding
when it’s the fear deciding
hold it tightly in my grasp
this brittl...

Jaundiced Eyes
...Jaundiced Eyes
Jaundiced eyes covet past tense masquerades
In crypts where yellowed brittleness recall bitterness
Where glassy-eyed failures suck truth dry -
Vampires with addictions

The heart sheds its own tears
Sorrowed by life’s unfairness
As the hazy mist clears
Anguish carries stark bareness
Brokenness, deep despair
Hope hanging slim by a thread

Moments We Do Not Bleed
...Snow laying casual on tree-branch fingers
suddenly startled, falls to the ground,
beaten to its refuge by a bullet wearing blood.
A small disturbance we call hunting.
Our youth in eagerness spre...

The Winds of Change

I feel it in the air- the winds of change.
Short days are darker, and cold nights are long.
Unlike that phase of spring that did arrange
for skipping in the meadows with a song.

stress can kill
but maybe it's not always true how
why don't we talk about the slow process
of deterioration
of metal in the elements
