Lividity

BITTER BLOOD
I'M TORN
INTO FLIMSY FRAGMENTS
PULLING ME APART
YELLOWING
WITH MISUSE
THIS STATE OF ENTROPY
BLACKENED.

Blackened smoldering
Wood rising steam hazy sun
Autumn dew dripping
Blooming flower brilliant red
Resurrected from the dead.

Judas

Leather hide-wild eye
What should I do
Blackened mind
Borrowed time
Trading pieces 
Of myself 
For thirty silver coins

Lynch An Empty Chair

lynch an empty chair
and wave a flag of freedom
in racist delight  

gives proof that legislation
can’t whiten a blackened heart

Human skeleton
shriveled body, blackened lungs
just yesterday, young...
Pleading, his final request
gasping: One last cigarette

How Many Glints Make a Gleam

see that array of blackened stars
as blindness
is squinted away
rubbing retina
feel the sun on eyes of lid
feel the light that pierces skin

Flip-Top Accsess

The top flips easily back
flip-top access to a phlegm-filled hack
blackened teeth and rancid breath
the smoker’s path to a breathless death.

Once An Inspiration To Me

I raised my eyes
to her eyes
as I used to do
for seeking inspiration,
What I saw
was a pair of blackened skies,
so I looked at her
in surprise

Requiem of the Rising Sun: March 28

Heaven was splintered when the ocean
Fell on it,
Pushed out of its bed by the raging of the earth, and the
Swaying of a blackened sky
Hide God’s face.

Merit Over Gold

Gold has no merit in hells market simply blood,
And the soul of those wicked and pure alike.
And the purest souls are like elixirs to his blackened lips.

Bad Voices

It's will is it's own.
It has thrown my ideals out.
Now it rests on a blackened alter.
It has gained my ear.
It's the one who killed off my idea of good.

Gone Astray

She promised me tomorrow,
  stealing all my yesterdays

A future blackened with her lies
 —the present gone astray

Ignored, forgotten singed and blackened 
Manuscripts of misguided thoughts
Tossed to the fireplace but forever
Impinged on brain cells expelled as billowy smoke

That Day

Winking sun through downpour trails
Earth foraging lives
Blackened standards show respect
In our sullen retreat
memories start to fade
The forgotten scar the forgetful

My Side of the Lie

Forever blackened,
Are my eyes,
An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth,
They spared my teeth,
And claimed my eyes,
Though I deserve to have a blade,
Taken to my throat.
