And Sunlight

Where you hash
Your past
Confront your demons
And for...

Zoo-nado[Sometimes when I’m struggling to write
I scrawl gibberish in the hope that inspiration
will lie within. Sometimes, just sometimes…
I like the result. This is one such]

Eternal SilenceDeath is
The eternal silence
We often say under this sky
Where the enemies are ubiquitous
Even among thugs and fools
That the dead are wrong
Oh! That’s ignorance!
That’s incompetence!
That’s complicity!
That’s bad luck!
That’s vanity!
That’s nonsense!
That’s voracity!
That’s imbecility!
That’s impunity!
That’s criminality!
That’s an idiotic...

Farm girlsI love to go swimming
With bowlegged women
The kind comes from riding
Down here at the farm.
There’s cycles of motion
They’ll cause a commotion
The Steve Miller Band says
Will keep you from harm.
If money, you’re tracking,
Won’t be a shellacking,...

MyzygyA waist is a terrible thing to mind.
A coin that you lost is less of a find.
No tie at a wedding puts you in a bind.
A watch cannot tell that it’s time for a wind.

The cows are all dead.
They died in the heat,
or so they said.
I feel sorry for the cows,
but more sorry for the farmers,
the ranchers,
the processors,
the packers,
the truckers,

On the way home,
I stopped at the store.
I bought a cake mix,
yellow, as they were out of
chocolate and white.
Yellow like fields of corn.
Yellow like daffodils.

irreal words

Versating ellisions
mutate in
discombobulated
wordclouds of
maloverted lords
& diverted hordes
Egestive extremism
emerges from
specious endgames
& epic sadism
Mismusing holists
grope for hope
within mischievous holes
