...Silent soul
Sitting next to the devil
Nobody knows

Agreed to bad things
So that he would be accepted

But the handpr...

MIND

...Where inside this skull
(this soon to be abandoned cave),
is mind?

Not an ever-dying brain,
but ‘mind’
that infinite capacity
of higher cognizance.

From the couch where you once sat to the bed we used to lay in 

From the kitchen where I once cooked for you to the bathroom where I held back your...

...Slime covers esily
It’s engulfing, digesting
Like an acid dissolving with a noticeable hiss

sensory grass

...sensory grass

tickles your toes
soft pokes
every word is a stroke
of a blade
not a brush

a lawnmower in the distance
breaks the silence
what the hell…

Museum of Me

...Diaries left open and letters framed,
chronological ink waving from a horizon, gone.
Clothes hung to recreate a wedding, a dance, a touch – 
enclosed in glass cases to trap the scent inside.

Now it was too late to backpedal
"Stupid wins prizes,"

to each word that is left unsaid; 
Every wound is self inflicted 
Go right ahead, go right ahead; 

Pain soothed by being quiet 
bonding my scars with your toolkit;

...In a mystery that starts with an abduction, 
And ends in what might be the perfect crime, 
I noted, with a sigh of resignation, 
How evidence depends on space and time.

...I find my memories, to be
a collection of convoluted excursions
from every moment lived out of place and time
like the handprint of Paleolithic Art

And if every created world is His handiwork, then who can
Challenge Him in what He creates, what He paints, and what

Symbiotic

...You know not why you're now here, 
just that you are bound by fear- 
(and a couple incised wires) 
watching me, enticed with pliers. 
Naked, cold, taught, and crying, 
you can't move, although y...
