The snake is venomous.
It catches and eats a mouse.
Eagles snatch prey with a sweep.
While turtles are camouflaged in the deep.
My knee is in pain due to dodgy cartilage,
possibly because of an active life and age.
Icy, chilled on the ivory
melting in the harbor
from the tongues warmth
but forces cranial hypothermia
thoughts frozen solid, pain
escapes through cartilage
frozen treats adored but
dreaded from it entering
the gates but as it does
residents scream for ice cream
Awareness drifts in a pool of sinew, flesh, fat, muscle, cartilage, hair, nail, bone, sodden skin, fluid, bile, excrement, blood, swirling in the maelstrom; in its belly thought.
Clarity forgotten, dissolved, flushed down the drain without Mercy.
Bon Secours,
Bon Voyage.

We are the-
Unattainable
Lampshades--flickering
On and off-
In-and-out
With
And without.
--And her skin
Is all I can breathe.
I write in cartilage
Memoirs just to feel
Unfeeling.
But we love unfairly
Until digging nails
Into walls--
Becomes beautiful
We-the-unreachable.
Come list with me
Cartilage speak softly
Unto me
Your voice touches me
Radiantly speak
Sweets actions
Tell me your passion
Verse love me
With all your word
Speak to me beautifully
Thy words of encouragement
Whispers joyish sound
Versed be mine

Why must I cry
Tears running down
Nothing in my eye
And I laugh
And there's nothing funny
I put my dentures in my mouth
As I bite down on the bone
My gums bruised cartilage
Sucking soup
I cry
Teary eye
I laugh I cry
Funny mouth
Choking now on that chicken bone
Sigh~

skeleton cartilage
seven gill slits on head
supreme power symbol
stalks prey up to six miles
sense of smell amazing
species are small or large
sudden seashore scary

I am a dangerous dream
Lure you in, distract you with my lies, grey
Not as I seem, am i
My skin are scales
Cartilage willed rough and agreed to
Mirror no longer needed
I know what I am
Dangerous dream
Or something to take notice of
Silent request for rescue
Or a lure to an unclimbable hole
Where I sit
Hello...are you coming for the ride?
Playing football earned me a concussion
Basketball tore the cartilage in my knee
Running cross-country sprained me my ankle
While boxing knocked the sense out of me
Throwing a curveball ruined my elbow
Swimming lap after lap did 'fix' my shoulder
My erratic golf swing left my back in a knot
And I've arthritis everywhere, now I've grown older
Gnawed nails dig into worn plastic armrests
Stinging alcohol burns the skin
A sharp point glints in the fluorescent light
Rough hands grip the shoulder
Restraining it against the comfortless chair
He says to relax,
But the tremors intensify.
Deep breath
Lungs release
Cartilage crunches
Blood flows
Shiny metal ring
Rests against the ear
A new opening in the body
Diverging from natural design.
Heart beats
chest breathes
diaphragms expand
eyelashes blink
muscles stretch
mind thinks ;
cartilage contracts
glands swell
lips quiver
sinew syncopate
skin, spine, senses shudder
tongue tastes
ears echo and resound
bones break
bodies bleed
breasts ache;
life begins
living is short
time is long
live it well
existence is
everything
that matters..
The true wings are
not the ones that fly...
But the ones that carry us
afar...
They are not of feathers,
are not of bones,
nor of cartilage ones...
Nor aluminum ones,
neither magnesium...
the ones that actually fly
we don't sight, but we employ...
They are dream wings... !
