Crumblings Poems


Premium MemberFire Bundle

Together we each
walked the forests
of our interiors...
Collecting armfuls,
chestfulls of
broken bits.
A bundle of sorrow,
a *** of frustrations.
The combustible shrapnel 
of having been hopeful.

We carried these to
a secret public place.
Public, for all could
see.
Secret, for few would
know.

There, together,
we huddled in
the elements.
Not rain, trust.
Not cold, connection.
And broke the
broken into
smaller smaller
ever smaller
crumblings.
A fire bundle
of our damages,
our not (and,
truly our never
really was)
our selves.

They soon took a
spark.
First cold, now coal.
An ember became
a glow.
Then smoke.
Now flames.

The spark
was her smile.
The flames,
our us.

Apostasy of a Prophet

This Casuistry is a paradox
Fallacious    feelings           repress
A Sophistry you ingress    Chemically redox
Tergiversate under scrutiny.  A misfit – an anachronism.  Elusory emotions to express
My argument a confused paralogism	Chicanery  
Fugacious Piety worships AWAITING THE FALL  
An elaborate machination Formation of 
this Cabal To unravel this conspiracy
Renegade inspiration
A
Live 
Grenade
Revolution call.
Societal crumblings
A mind poisoned by barricades
Limitations.
Cures itself
By questioning everything
Invalidity, obscurity, corruption
Topple under 
Plots of our Coterie
Political pressure
Militant insurgency
Worship the gun
Worship the steel

Guerilla tactics 
Metro
Urban
Rurally
Camouflaged pawns
Stratagem
Pieces on the board are people
Playing for real.
Didactic Leaders
And 
Pedantic parents
They’re history and experience
In perspective reveals.
Cycle of manipulative
Elite, controlling
The pariahs
Starved in appeal.
