Long Upends Poems

Lulled to sleep courtesy white noise of the fan

found yours truly lulled to sleep
courtesy rattle and hum
(U2 can dreamily tread 
where the streets have no name) 
of oscillating fan.

Nestled under blankets,

Nestled under blankets,
the gentle whirring sound
soothes the savage beast
within mine body electric
of one generic, opportunistic,

into the realm of deep sleep
benumbed to reality as unconscious guy
experiencing...

It takes a long time 
To figure out if things went right
To find out if you did what was best
If you passed all those unknown test

I was fixing supper not so long ago,  
the kitchen full of smells, sights and sounds;
a new dessert was ready for applause.
We were waiting on Gramps to get home from work.

And Golly, The Mile Champion, She Ran!

upends reason to disrepair
heightens our senses, our esteem
blinds us to flaws unseen

Oh Mother’s reckless devotion
withstands all adversity
delusional in admiration
eyes obscured, see only perfection

friendship’s less passionate attachment

shoulder to shoulder in...

Each day’s steps

Each day’s steps stolen and stinks not sinks
Taken to the success
Horrible pucks

Tomorrow’s steps swallowed
Determining the determination by the demotion
Steps taken today, awaken the abandoned in pain...

Wrapped around my arm
I see grace, love, and motherhood
Dancing in a smile
I see the scars on her soul
And the pain of her past
The tears behind the laugh
I hear her witty...

Needs you to submit in belief
That society is the only support

Nature quietly pushes its roots
Or sudden adjusts itself
Marked by...
