october octave
seasonable spirit speaks
held by halloween
ghostly gibberish
a disembodied spirit
a spooky séance
Impossible mission to uncouple accountability,
(no matter minuscule - veritable drop within
figurative bucket when quantity contrasted/
compared alongside industrial waste courtesy
major corporations), yet helplessness prevails
survival (mine) inextricably bound trappings
twenty first century allow, enable, and provide
exploiting even dollop so called nonrenewable
resources, I could sacrifice corporeal entity -
body, mind and spirit within eyeblink exhales
last breath before becoming repurposed - inert
cremated ashes randomly scattered across all
points encompassing terrestrial world wide web.
Obituary -
Despite havoc primate species did wreak
from the afterlife I figuratively speak
and applaud millennials whose peak
performance accorded courtesy
your token "aged hippie,"
mild mannered and meek
and long haired pencil necked geek,
whose disembodied spirit
now volunteers as Halloween sideshow freak
incorporating gallows humor tongue in cheek.
Brazenly stared within the
irony of irrational horizons,
shadows colorlessly implanted on
an oasis of silent sand dunes - -
no footprints were visible in her wake,
tidal waves lilted in roaring disobedience
kinking temperaments' permanence,
reflective intimation no longer visible
beyond mirrors cruel unimportance
blindfolded in a peculiar fashion,
realities' ghostly animated particles
toppled under relevant significance
to the depths of modified senescence,
releasing disembodied spirit held its own
midst lofty persuasion's undulations,
nullified 'tween composition's banality
somewhere mid fantasy & ascertained ashes,
descent upon apparent illogicalness transpired as
transcendent lucidity mocked hazed transparency,
naked truths became clearer as they blurred into
ludicrous relinquishment 'tween rebellious renditions,
whilst flimsy breaths reprised figment's fanciful betrayal
My Voice
my voice
ewe have my voice
ewe have heard my voice
have ewe heard the mighty wind blow
have ewe heard your daughter speak to ewe
have ewe heard a word of love from boss
eye am no disembodied spirit but like CUPID
eye must remain anonymouse
ewe have heard me speak when ewe have heard the rain falling
ewe have heard me speak when ewe have heard the sky falling
ewe have heard my voice in each drop of water falling
eye am love
ewe have heard the voice of love
my voice
