The Pure in Simplicity



"The Pure in Simplicity"

the love thieves
all in syncronicity
shoot silver kisses 

like bullets

penetrating
the pure 
in simplicity

pretenders 
sit at your table
feast on your losses

never your wins
now...
acrostics..

they swallow,
whole heartedly
it's kind of like medicine,

your everything, 
your sons 
and your daughters

and your 
fresh fresh brains
those scrambled

they're just 
small, simple 
sacrifices

in the bent
larger scheme
of things

they call you 
the Devil
but you’re just 

a shadow 
like a 
pilot fish

attached 
to the other shadow's
missile mind

sharp jaws
razor teeth and tongue bite
blood plumes, pretty, 

fingers tap dance
they move with the music
they write…

while 
the mind 
is off on its own

let’s pause 
for a second, a decade, 
okay, for a minute -

others say 
"wow, babe
you are no such thing..."

exclamation mark!

the jury turns
besides themselves
always besides themselves

to usher in
the other shut out, 
outside the story

the unmentioned
other one 
in

that one 
that remains
hidden 

works
at Freedom
…

that one,

so not 
interesting, could be,
absolute pure fiction

like the purity
hidden in Truth
like a child taken

it's a rippling 
fishpond being fed
morsels drifting

dissolving
crackers, 
cheesey nibbles

the truth 
in everything
like an aspirin 

placed softly 
on the tongue
swallowing Hell

poetic
cool
simplicity

bells ringing
like a win
like a sale

like a sail

like fair winds
pushing the 
freedom wings

behind me

alternative title:
The Hit List ;)
No. 1.

warm season greetings
as always;

warm, like closer
to where you don't want to go ... ever - 
but it's inevitable

more than likely ;)
