Severe surge regarding thou shalt not kill violations

bullets fly, scream and tear into flesh

Revolving Rivers
In backyards of my history
lies a tidal river
of ebb and flow revolutions.
These revolutions are normally no-news evolutions
back up toward headwaters of crisis and opportunity,
diastatic and polyphonic purest capital boundary roots
for future's river flow investment
out-flowing down

Lifting the mind

black dogs barking

Free Love
Do you remember stories about the incensed 60s?
The smoke-filled Beatles,
and acrid flowering Hippies,
and Aquarian Age of Free Love.
It fizzled out.
It wasn't such a Great Transition
as we had hoped.
Exhausted by Foreign and Civil Rights v Wrongs...

Humid Thermos
I see us
cowering within
our safety walls
of sterile
nonorganic comfort
I feel us,
almost smell us,
struggling
vacillating between pungent stink
of fear inside
and acrid
acidic anger
about life sucks outside
Emerging toward viral hate
directed against entitled Others
unwelcomed emoting immigrants
encroaching on our safe home space
It...

Burning Hearts and Wilted Flowers
You're the flame around my heart,
am I still your smile
when we're apart?
As you leave your flame flares up,
but when I look into your face,
I miss your lack of smiling place,
You are my fire!
Where were you...

Winter - a Hard Place
A damp, dank odour pervades the saturated forest; pungent. acrid;
The stench an assault on the human senses:
Working subtly, slowly permeating every pore until it compromises the very heart of the forest.
Seeping easily between the debris;...

Information
From sunrise, when the breath of the new-born day
Kisses my eyes, information startles me.
Waves of my sleep leave the froth from my mouth,
Youthful and earnestly fresh with the harassment of
Both cuddly dreams and feverish nightmares.

Cryptic Cipher in the Crypt
(Begin: There is no beginning.)
(O' my--not again--you should not have started.)
The quill burrows. No--splinters. No--fractures. No--was never here.
Ink spills--no--veins spill--no--veins collapse--no--veins rewrite.
The vowels--black-lipped--no--the ink coagulates--the ink tightens--the ink breathes-
acrid, metallic, it stings the...
