my mind bleeds like black currents aross the water-colour page
forming strange language electric mess...

Chaperoning

The clinic feels like                            Alcatraz.
There’s no escape in                         this love.

when you don’t return   ...

Life- Aye

set against 
a sordid world 
My lanes are coerced 
just as my feet are formed 
My life is a platter 
furnished on a plaza

Four Alarms Espinela

...Your tongue is an atomic split,
I am locked in a  sharp inhale.
Proficient those lips leave me pale. 
All my breath work, can you feel it? 

Exploring my mouth bit by bit
with a simmer I'm left...

The River Runs

...It brings to mind a question: why?
Why does the river run?
Does it need to?

All For Her

...His muscles they burn
The mind takes a turn
His cap is so wet
Soaked from all the sweat

God Help Us

...I sat there.
Stewing.

It was cult-like.

They worshiped beings,
having little proof of their existence....

Poetry I've Written

...I see myself in lines of poetry I've written
flying and crawling, laughing and bawling,
winning and losing, breathing and dying ~
as a river current meandering where I choose to go

Has me so on point and on task

The horse blinders debilitating 
Want for what, wish for who 
An existence built to hypnotize

Reveals a new rekindled conscious bliss, 
For our obligatory ...

Undergrowth with Two Figures - Van Gogh

...I have the rhythm of a winding road

Funeral Conversation

...At Jimmy Carter’s funeral

He saw Obama “kiss the ring”
Of He-Who-Can’t-Be-Named.

I watched the clips and verified
