this is... confusing and increases
from tense to intense
I woke up with less pain
but it was in the flesh and now
it only gets worse you can see
as it increases and is tense
and how it stings and hurts
and everything indicates that it is inside
it hurts inside and unbalances
unbalance and disorient
it doesn't calm and intensify
it doesn't get better and that's how it stays
it increases and then it gets worse
confuses violent deconcentrates
gets tense and is confused
and now it gets a lot worse
it gets worse just now
it always gets worse just at the tense time
in the tense hour when the worsening increases.

October, when the leaves intensify -
colored explosions: orange, yellow, red,
breezes to temper summer's heat draw nigh.
There's one last month of days with lightened sky
before our Daylight Saving goes to bed;
October, when the leaves intensify.
A campsite will my kinfolk occupy,
by hot bonfire we'll sing and break the bread,
breezes to temper summer's heat draw nigh.
So many sports events to satisfy
this fan: World Series appetites are fed,
October, when the leaves intensify.
The crisp night air, hot chocolate, pumpkin pie,
warm sweaters, gloves, and scarves become widespread,
Breezes to temper summer's heat draw nigh.
Sweet treats for trick-or-treaters who stop by,
the pirates, princesses, and walking dead.
October, when the leaves intensify;
Breezes to temper summer's heat draw nigh.

That feeling
when you've had
someone on your
heart for so long
and the next
time you see them
the feeling is
intensifying
how many times does
hillary
have to tell the world
that Russia needs to do this,
or Russia needs to do that,
before she runs out of breath?---
it is Russia that reads between the lines &
sees the ulterior motives in the west
promulgated by the empire,
for a restructuring of Syria,
so that it will not turn out like Egypt---
how many times do people in
Syria have to assert to the cameras
that if other countries weren’t paying
the various rebel groups in their own
country,
that a civil war would not be just around the
corner?
just how
INTENSE
does the US, NATO & all their buddies
want the situation in Syria to get,
so that at the last minute they can come
sweeping in
with their big state-of-the-art
armies
to prevent the people of Syria from doing it
themselves?
