"Open Oceans"



Kneeling on pearls
wisdom preys

praying
preying

hungry hearts
count the days 

wasting away
in all that preying 

for prayers 
to be answered

children become
strangers

reading 
strange words

finding 
themselves puzzled

genuflecting to a deity
they do not know, nor wish to

fumbling
mouths closed,

swallowed hole
in the...

Soon became a...

"The Forgotten and Fluctuations of Awareness" 

When the crime 
was committed,
the writing

no one listened. 
It climbed insidiously
out through the cracks
like a friendly tarantula.

that sad poet 
I read today,
she writes

The Hot Mom and the Pool Boy - a Poetrysoup Collaboration
The day was long and she was spent
off to the pool our hot mom went
asked for some lotion

drifting away she was content

These giant obtuse walls
these calculated architecture of impossible, impeccable accomplishment
How can I survive, they are bigger than me
shrouding me in a sense of what being Jack is
staring at a tall, magic beanstalk wanting to climb

Straight honest for real, lying foolproof —

suspicion and rancor did hold prevail
