Scar-like Healings
               by Odin Roark

Scar laden perfections
Where life's training wheels balance
One's child-like trust
Adolescent-like daring
Adult-like intemperance

Scratches
Bruises
Broken bones
History's incidentals heal easily

Challenges of the...

Inside an old library of things uncountable
clippings, extracts, jottings, and snippets.

‘things’ 
nothing can be
excluded

yes the air is musty, thickly clothed,
muffled and club fingered, 
incidentals are listed 
on the cuff of the half-remembered. 

Mind dust wafts...

He kept a small room
he wasn’t in it very often
but it was there and he knew it
it was safe

for though life had opened roads
that needed to be trodden
and he was often far away

He'd glimpse her, the peripheral life of her;
she lived in the corner of his eye.
She passed-by, her face and form - tidal, 
a tug on his shore.

Perhaps she was salt for his blood, spice

PAST

Truly the present and the future
Cannot come and become
Without the past
Without the passing of another day
Today and tomorrow
Would not be here
Rather it would be there.

What a wonderful happening
These events of the day
The sequences and consequences
Is...

The basilisk is looking my way
Time fragmented into memorial shards
Explosive regeneration hides pain
These flames won't cleanse my wounds

Dark strands of your hair cover me like a cat of nine tails
Each strike harder than the last...

No! not about pits
they’re removed
the fruit sliced.
ugly in effigy —

the air turns
their innards
burnt orange.

their rainier skin
scarred and pale —
tasty or not.

i’d rather them red
and plump, but
skinny enough
to fit into
the pitter

and for the pits
to shoot straight

FAKING ADVANTAGE

It's Thanksgiving and the time again
To stop and note each blessing.
Among them we must count of course
The turkey and the dressing.
We're thankful for the pumpkin pie
Cranberries and candied yams.
And if we can find space for...

Your name is a prerequisite 
for every final and finale. 
An exclamation 
after encores. 
The truest definition of more. 
The atom before cataclysmic spasm 
and all creation that evolved 
after energies first meeting.
