Why am I here? Not existentially
but literally why am I here in the
crawlspace. "Why are any of us
here?" Woh! Who are you
people?
now is glare caged and pasted dry
where once wet opened drapery skin so wide
moments stubble the truth even as it chews
on dreams stored in eyes’ dark crawlspace
That unshared secret…
a crawlspace of denial
where shadows keep your heart at bay,
lonely all the while
To hide in darkened corners,
as falsehood lends its smile
your mind left cramped—all virtue tramped,
banished and exiled
(Dreamsleep: September, 2020)
When you're faced with monsters in a small space
Of claustrophobic dread of darkness, a crawlspace,
It stalks the quiver, narrow graves' breaths of fear.
Strangling the heart's soul as it swallows a tear.
The whimper within the small casket adheres.
Until you stab the caged beast inside, resolve.
It feels safe when the darkened cage dissolves.
Hey, Grace.
Do you know where I left my face?
Did I happen to leave it in your lap,
after taking that quick nap?
Or perhaps, after that embrace,
did I leave it in your narrow crawlspace?
No? Oh, crap!
She said, "Oh, that just can't be!
That poem has no semblance to reality!"
I said, "How can you say that,
when it's painfully clear that
it's the reality of me!”
Liquid stars drip to a sparkle,
look up take a sip get your fill;
Peek out of your crawlspace;
Constellations and chaos cross
feeding poets with wishing sauce;
Eager to share a trace;
Fear not the view of a black hole,
untold may charge your soul;
Dreams falling from space;
Glitter dancing with ebony
creates a cosmic melody;
Fly without the freebase;
That acrid adrenaline rush
will breed in you a need to push;
Entertain it’s embrace.
