Treading on free ground
Kept behind barbed wire fences
Why can't they be free??

it never ends
Confederate types some admire
Punctured DEI's entire hire
The world is a throng
And civil war's wrong
But that car just hit their barbed wire...

Soul-sucking grind
Sitting on the fence I get entangled
in the barbed wire,
I lie on the heap of ashes
of my cherished dreams
wondering when a stray spark might
rekindle the flames of my dormant desires.

Dunnock
feel the hedge the dunnock had slept
its lines a scribble toddlers had drawn
he nested in a pen test on scrap paper
edging fields in barbed wire branches
sleep static acrobats on frozen trapeze...

Cutting
Dark emotions like barbed wire wrapped around my heart
I grab my blade
I watch as blood flows and my skin comes apart
With the blood goes the pain
A temporary release to keep just barely sane...

and so it begins....
my withdrawal from an addiction
that causes so much pain
frustration and confusion
as I bounce off
of these barbed-wire walls
I know I am strong enough
to finally break free...

Wire Nest
There's a fairy in my chest
Live's with two crooked knives
In a barbed wire nest.
She loves to play and hide
In the dense and dolorous vines.
And I can get no rest.
As she tortures me at all times....

Barbed Wire Ballad - (3)
Rusted wire against a tree, year by year recedes
The countless rings of outer bark enwrap the wire within.
I mark the circles choking me. I’m taut, stretched thin.
Thus Time is so absorbing me. Consumed. The oak tree feeds....

acknowledgement
I’m a fencepost
With barbed wire
Leaning
On the prairie
I don’t know
What I’m keeping in
Or
What I’m keeping out
I’m just a fencepost
With barbed wire
Leaning
On the prairie

Edges
Breathing tedious life into a heedless cadaver,
Peering over barbed wire to see the edge of never,
Building on the ashes of love that branded the heart painfully slow,
Deteriorating hopes plunge deep to the abysmal stillness only received once below....

How To Handle a Scandal
How To Handle A Scandal
With honor, how would you ever handle,
Someone who has been in a big scandal;
A bad deal,
Did squeal,
Wear sharp barbed wire thong or sandal.
This is what Stephanie Ruhle said from
MSNBC News.

Feral Thoughts
Protective barbed wire
pricking with it’s touch;
Blood just rushed from
the lock on your heart;
Penalized necklace;
Scratches so deep,
there’s no way back;
Feral feelings,
aortic slice;
It’s heavy,
a burden
in silence;
Let go,
embrace
love....

Barbed Wire Ballad
Rusted wire against a tree
Year by year recedes
Inside of the circling bark, invisibly
Consumed. Relentlessly, the oak tree feeds.
The countless rings of outer bark
Enwrap the wire within.
Thus Time is absorbing me. I mark
The circles choking me. I’m taut, stretched thin....
