The Labubu Craze

Labubu grins, a curious work of art,  
Kasing Lung’s dream, brought forth from the heart.  
Pop Mart displays, collecting carts start,  
Lisa’s embrace gives trends a new chart.

People of faith, consider your part,
Not every craze should capture your heart.
Fame’s shining lure can pull us apart,
Discernment and wisdom must always take part.

Enjoy what

Iron Lung

My window shut,
blocking Summer’s fierce gaze
and brown haze from distant flaming timbers.
One machine cools the room,
then my cats and I may nap.
Another, like a Vegas magician,
pulls gallons of water
from the air we breathe.

My window shut,
glazed by Winter’s cruel lick, 
outside sheets of ice and broken branches.
Furnace air and a space heater
blanket us with dry heat.
Eyes

Losing Me

As the sun slowly fades it’s dimming light 
Pain takes hold and consumes the night.
A mind haunted by what’s to come,
Losing my strength, I start to come undone.

In my reflection, I am left to see,
The toll of sadness that burdens me.
I hear, The whispers of strength left behind,
Echo reminders of a restless mind.

Longing for what

Premium MemberThe Iron Lung, Fear Transcendence

These days, when I look at you
Fear transcends
Your heaviness
Your electric breathing
Your encompassing total body
You, the iron lung
Yes, now these days
Fear strikes out
against the childhood horrors
The endless nights of lone imaginings
The images that a fifties child bears
deep within the mind to get vaccinated.
You’re not alive and
You’re not after me, climbing my steps as you pant and

Grim Reaper Scion Donned As Nodule On Lung

Grim reaper scion donned as nodule on lung...

Lodged squarely upon corporeal property
(i.e. necessary soft tissue)
of Amelie Beth Harris-McGeehan
mine eldest sister,
when medical technician informed
aforementioned unpleasant tidings
earlier today February 25th.

Utmost grievousness grips
analogous to invisible
strong hands strangulating
"I can't breathe"
while grappling trying to process
apocalyptic forebodings
(impinging on mine corporeal
fifty plus shades of gray matter).

Impossible mission
(insync with absent impetus),
thus renders feeble

Right In Front of My Eyes

Every time you light a cigarette 
All you want to do is forget 
Forget the past and the future 
For years you've smoked away 
You smoked and smoked and never quit 
Suicide is that your thought? 
Never thought once about your children 
Whom lie there forever sleeping 
Out there in the bitter cold 
Without any

The Iron Lung

Haunting in the shadows from the Fifties' years
turning up for unexpected shock,
why does it recapture all my hidden fears,
whether having known its ways or not?

Panic pulsates deeply in the iron lung,
phobia that swells from feet to neck.
Man and machine working as a rhythmic one,
encasing all but head to chasten death.

Huge, steel, 800 pound,

Premium MemberMy Iron Lung, My Iron Love

Descending down the spiral steps to hell;
Acquiesced charcoal in phosphorous glow.

As if enchained by an enchantress’ spell;

Into the flames do I merrily go:

Endeared, the Master speaks ill of my worth
Before softened lips move closer t’wards I;
Lavender fragrance plumes lavishly forth -
My lungs become gills…her perfume is dry.

And as my squalid breath cries out for more
Some

Lung Killer

Even though she needs
to feel it between
her lips she won't
smoke those cancer
sticks because then 
he'd be in her lungs.

He carried the oxygen from one room to another but the smallest effort cost.
The air was fresh but the breath wouldn't catch and coughing.
He wondered how his plan was left unfulfilled.
He had used every human he had ever come in contact with.
And now after living with his sister and her husband for thirty years he

One Bung Lung

Incredibly hung , 
with the one bung lung,
And kidneys not quite a failing,

He went to the dentist ,
Tooth reefed out, 
Sucked ciggys without inhaling.

The guys in the bar,
Sucked on cigars, 
Checked him, the toilet, ha,

Were enthral led with , 
The girth n gift ,
“how come it are”

Said, “Wear no jocks,
Or stinking feet socks,”
Too big for
