Three Turtle SongsTurtle by the Door
The bears and wolves are few;
one threadbare widow mourning,
two grays as consumptive as smoke.

their bodies grow more awkward,

The heavier beasts sway
like drunks in the scant woods.
Under a pelting...

Through sig sag tracks, they wind their way

Mindless Drones~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They gathered outside my house,
People, walking around, brainwashed zombies,
Mindless drones, programmed by societal norms,
Floating through life with vacant stares,
Lost in a sea of monotony and conformity.
Their faces, dull and expressionless,
Eyes glazed over, completely voided of...

View From a Bed-SitReciting soliloquies to lonely cobbled aisles,
a fractured mind drifts within innocence.
Remembering long forgotten memories
with a chortle, echoed against the crawling mist.

and as the train grinds to...

There Is Some Darkness In You and MeThere is some darkness in you and me.
There nests in our soul some iota of monstrosity-

It burns in our veins, and nags our pale soul.

Phenotypic RageFrom my stark cave I breathe the tang of
blood and sweat; your breathing slows in
alarm palpable and sticky as you
slink away with trepidation. In your staccato

down from your slope,
betraying your endurance.
