Unfit for the sunlit Visions once bestowed Guilt has me split Where reason once flowed Circles were brighter Now a hollow parade Knots draw tighter As thoughts start to fade Worthless endeavor Half-formed at best Tumbleweed untethered Cursed with unrest No spark to savor Just the same charade Endless vanilla flavor As the colors all fade No more to barter Encompassed in grey Rationale takes harbor As wishes drift away...

Still Blinking III
First, remove the eyelids— they hold too much fiberglass. Grind streetlight into gunpowder, cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk. Take the sidewalk like heretic communion, metal-flake wine, asphalt host. She blinks razors. Stars break in her clavicle. You don’t touch her—you calibrate. Banana fingers, bruised and humming, plucking vapor off the fencepost. Storm-laced teeth. Voice as hinge, breath as cordless vacuum throat tightrope over a cheap motel dirty...

Some Stories Don’t Need an Ending
It’s strange, isn’t it? How someone can live in your heart for years, Without even realizing it. I wasn’t looking for a fairytale. I wasn’t expecting fireworks, Or a dramatic confession under the rain. All I ever wanted… Was to matter to you. To have a place in your life That felt a little more permanent. But here we are. After all this time, You look at...

Already Lost
I was given a map with no land, a compass that spun to the music of sneers, a torch that devoured its own flame, and told: Go win!— in a whisper stitched with grins and stitched again with forgetting. My shoes were born backwards, laces tied to the heelbone of regret; the starting line a mirage sewn on the horizon, a ribbon of...

Premium Member Big Blue Cow
I saw her in a meadow high Where red flowers touch the sky Her eyes were mournful, so much inside I looked within, skepticism died (chorus) I'm in love with a big blue cow And a big blue cow loves me She don't have a job, but she survives Without that college degree She don't take drugs, and she don't drink We agree about politics,...

Premium Member Bad ideas never die
Social Media influencers on the racist right said us Jews control radio and TV That we rot the roots of morality’s tree, The implication is clear; there’s no society free. One TV personality invited a guy who spouted reasons for Hitler's views As the real deal, I wonder why So much dumping on the Jews They talk of the 'noticing' -...

Premium Member Logic in Mist
I sat down with a notebook A soft buzz in my head Words were there Then slipped away Like smoke through fingers Disappearing into thin air Ideas floated just out of reach Like clouds in a sky too bright Drifting… Never landing… The pen hovered, touching the paper Then the ink ran Like a dream fading at dawn I tried to grasp A thought or spark It unraveled… A tangled thread...

The Unhoused Street Musician Of Budapest
Whenever I spot red-bearded Origin, the unhoused street musician of Budapest who asks for a donation, not making a protest with a grin; don't be amazed if I'm the first to drop coins in his empty cup: does anybody, not in a rush, ever stop and give him some attention? Does he ever feel humiliation? He's too young to...
