What am I?

...What am I?

I don’t know.
Maybe a scream searching for its name in the dark,
maybe a child with scraped knees
on the burning road,
a man with his throat clenched
by the noose of stars,
when t...

The Finger

...I’m told the pen’s mighty and outwits the sword
but my finger is stronger and won’t be ignored.
It pokes and it swipes and it rants in a roast

A pillow's softness, a thimble's gentle might

Off to see his mates for their
Monthly catch up and meet.
He’s happily unaware that
As he saunters slowly by
His every move is noted 
By tha...

Chain Reactions

...The organic chemistry of memory
is faster than light.
it cannot be deleted, only defeated.
That cellular crucible deletes itself
by an entropy of catalytic reactions.
Stop stoking the flames

Still Un-Answered Universal Question

...Is it  a myth that History repeats?
This universal question that time deletes

Is the evidence clear that it occurs?
Through eons and eons it strangely recurs

Is it true that  horrors are dull...

love flies with blue plumes
