I’ve discovered that
My brain is a place that knows no bounds

Hammers forward and spits them out.
I’ve discovered the irony
Of saving...

From dawn till late in the night
Bare from the waist up bare feet too

all along...

especially when the weeping pang of separation 
comes prematurely...

As I stood, night half fell in the car park,
Stuck between twilight and sheer dark,
Suicidal on the ledge of near dark,

Christopher Colombus- Celebrating Genocide

You stepped foot on the birth canal of my ancestors,
pure, sacred, loved.

She was a pretty muse
As far as muses go
He said she had about her
An incandescent glow

There was a certain mischief
He saw there in her eyes
And though he couldn’t touch her
He’d tasted paradise

She made his mind...

One that's mine but you deceived me

Over what I've left behind,

light as evaporated air

Many moons of unpaid slave wages owed me,

The latest in local, national and international news.

United under the all-powerful one{3}.

mother nature has a way of retracting her 
tale told-
weeping when icicles melt, for she knows 
their weakness; thawing can be so rough

like weathered wood needing dehydration,
shattered glass needing repairing,

A slim and straight pine tree..leaves needling.
In evergreen make-up, it's branches spread.

But where is the woodland? Where is the snow?
Roots searched...

Everything will vanish

Nostalgia of sadness
