MOVING FORWARD
REHAB
Record 2025/01/25 09:57:23.webm


Moving forward, my time at rehab. 

One door and corner at a time.
On time here at the door.
There, at the table. Eat or play. Group it.
Bracelets hold us together and drag us...

Once Within a Moment

Once within eternal Time
a coffee ground
of full-spectral 
spacious consciousness,
Might sink in cold water cups

Yet rise to surface in warm oil sublime
joyously buoyant juice

Happiest to float atop
a hierarchy of divinely positioned selection
station
static inquisition

Yet again, 
to an...

Transparency

transparency (another puppet in the puppet show)

when mr. hope & change ran for leader of the empire,
he filled those so desperate
with hopes that were ungrounded,
if not completely false---
for if you walk like a politician &

The Breakup

The Breakup



The weight of the world falls upon my chest with an unassuming heaviness.  It fills my lungs 
with bubbles, popping at each gasping breath I attempt to draw into my heaviness

I felt as...

If a Poet Had Nine Lives

Poets were given nine lives a year ago
During the pandemic. Didn’t you know?
I used my first life in January, when I fell in the snow.
Lost until my soul had left. Oh, what woe!

Luckily, life number...

This Is Earthjust Us

This is Us,
my waist too big,
his check too small,
she's not the fairest
of Them all,

We must confess,
This is Ugly,
we are a mess,
the Earth's ungrounded
greatest pest,

But, This is Us,
our only home
to share it well
before its gone,
extracted
refracted
denuded
and fracted,
deluded
and...

Ge

And for a split second I felt free.
Perhaps freer than I have ever been.
Relying on the shoulders of a stranger.
It couldn't have come at a better time.
The acquaintance of seeing yourself in someone else.
Perhaps it's...

Time's Birthday

Time's Birthday
          by Odin Roark

How daunting it must be
Choosing a celebratory date

Invention adrift
Save the blue veined appendages
Holding firm the drift of time
Like a floating surreal image
Making...

The Liberation

"The Liberation" 

When your home
is torn out from underneath you,
like a rug or a tablecloth,
nothing of value is left standing
on the surface, except silence.

life implodes for a while,
you’d think the vessel empty.
however, eventually,
what burns inside
is...

Don'T Bother Overthinking the Past

Just stop thinking about it,
Don't bother losing yourself to it,
Stop getting your mind overclouded
Don't overthink about it.

Past's not gonna change
Present's in your hand,
Future's awaiting you,
So does it take that long for you to realise;
Time always...

My Five Senses

My Five Senses

For someone with synaesthesia,
I am just quite dumbfounded,
In understanding all my five senses,
That leaves me buzzing, ungrounded!

You see, it’s not very clear,
As to why this does happen,
But I see, hear, smell, taste and...

Hollow

What phantasmal shadows have  before my visage flown? Spectres fleeting, heart shards fled into the abyss of night. This precipice upon which I teeter yaws wide beneath feet ungrounded, clutching desperate at bosom rent...

Your Voice

Imagine a lovely garden, tea for two and this story:

The sound of your voice is a soothing balm,
That eases my tension and fills me with calm.
Whenever I'm homesick and feel all alone,
It's the sound of...

Living An Authentic Life

Should we bow heads in shame when we grok we need Grace,
find there's gold we can mine in 'forgiveness of self?'
Is God's Grace only known when we give it away?
Lord, can poetry blossom we force...

I Am a Mermaid

I am a mermaid
In my quiet sea
I see cloudless skies
I dream cloudless dreams
I bathe in my milk and honey
And seek no man no girl no money
I am swimming effortlessly
Ungrounded with no wings
And dreams
Oh by faith...

Ungrounded

Alone I wonder about life's great plan,
encompassing me and my vision at hand.
Drawn are the lines to secure the path,
yet fate plays a role at my hearth.

Confused, and trying for a meditative state,
relaxing is now...

Faded With the Night

Within the cinereal swirls
of clouded skies
I hear the quickened beat
of my pulse, fall within my steps
and the echoes of mind
on these empty streets
as i walk alone, lost
beneath the shadows
of buildings that fall
from lambent light
of crescent...
