The blue lines ripple like waves
to the right side of the page
vacantly calm
from the shallow depths
of the ponderous pond
the words, fast black fins, break the wake surfacing

Left
Left.
Plans left unfinished
Give too much say too much
Words filled with meaning
Maybe too much
Maybe too heavy
Maybe too repetitive

Scattered
And washed like rainwater down dirty streets
Good intentions mixing with dirt and trash
Stepped over, walked through
Acknowledged...

The Science of Hate

A floating continent really.
It spends most of its time
In the Far East (the Orient)
And moves west with the sun
To nourish its flowers and vines.
Its beasts will forever feed on your indignities

A Perfect Murder Scene
"A Perfect Murder Scene"
underneath the gun metal clouds
two bodies imprinted
splayed bookmarked at the waterline
uncannily close
distance would never separate that twin set
the ocean of tears washing over them lachrymose

Jack, Johnny, and Me(Repost)
So sad are days in this bitterness
and bitterest cold outside
Gone are friends and leaves
and grass.
The walls are mocking me, laughing
I can feel me hating me with a passion
This is one of those dark days

Am I drowning?
Another conversation within myself.
Another riddle within the spectrum of possibility.

This place in question where life has been mean
On muddy banks down by the waterline
Alone in her tomorrow's, solitary resigned
Having already lost her husband in his freedom fight
No mother...

In the misty morning amid the elm and maple trees
The whiteness delicately floats above the ponds waterline
The night hunters abandon their night search for food

I never know if he’s on the level or not,
