Prosperous realty. He spoke...

Damian's  definite definition was on
Full demonstration display as he
Walked the treadmill for 30 minutes.
Then bench pressed 30 minutes. Rested
Then an hour later, 
Still early morning. Calisthenics 
"This was the...

Beautiful  summer Saturday late
Morning. Pool party full force. 
Everybody busy all seemed fine.
Damian stayed close to Molly and
Monitored her. "Feeling good my love?"
He caressed her 9 month pregnant 
Belly. "I'm...

The time was 11:05. Damian 
Made the essential announcement

So use the toilet, do everything 
You need to do for...

April 5, 2023 – refracted reflections:

The following lines
haphazardly linkedin 
slap dash fashion
over the course 
of dazed and confused days,
therefore desist reading 
any profound meaning
if you dear reader dare expend 
energy and time perusing 
meandering gibberish....

endless leisure hours as distorted time stretch before me...

like the infinite vista
upon the midwestern plain
farther than the eyes of mine
(an ascetic and copacetic
shortsighted father of two grown
twenty something daughters)
can no longer see,
since sockets severely seared

I looked outside the bedroom window
here at B44 Highland Manor Apartments

took stock of soundless grounded sideshow.

Helianthus annuus, heliotropic slow son dance

Stream of photons bathe
top heavy fountainhead of sunflower.

Analogous to Atlas
shrugging, hoisting, grappling...
with planet Earth, the heavyweight
discobolus buoyantly held aloft
upon robust stem
tracks the heavenly orientation
of said hypothetical nearest star.

This immense distance,

A Wolf...A Lamb...A Wolf

Forgetting myself...started with me
To be sweet, to be quiet...to fit in.
Conformity!
Impress by agreement.  A Lamb I could be.
Convince all my thoughts; 
Copacetic is me

*So it began...
My best thought is, I'm at...

Strikes relentlessly thrashing

My inner world is dark beyond measure
Crashing waves
(Crashing waves)
It’s hard to breathe when the water’s up to your neck.
Odds acting against me
Increase the pressure
Endless days
(Endless days)
Copacetic on the outs but inside I’m a wreck.

"Road Kill and the 3 Fates"



Daughters of Nyx
the sisters 


Stand strong together
when darkness
feigns innocence
next to the forgotten
Road Kill

Nyx becomes Themis
a memory 
infiltrates the mind
prompting the true law
and order of things

Backwards towards
a beginning
Inside resides 
the female...

By inclement seas, malevolent sands bob
Lashing atrociously in their cyclonic hurl
Assent to winds that beat wild, Oceania!

Can the derelict heart reclaim its pacific,
keeping latent hurts as a glossed wreck?

Pearling gloss spot-lights aversions to keep!
Embraced is...
