As You Lay Me To Rest
Keep
Away from
Light not what
Letters of words,
Engraved in poetic
Order, I beautifully
Have dole out for your pleasure.
And as I lay down to rest amongst

I Dreamt of a Death I Cannot Shake
I held onto your hand…
much too tight, to dole out any comfort,
for it was out of obligation, my efforts were fed...
In the end, I don't think it made any difference,

Tell Me
Should I feel guilty
That I don’t care
About pleasing
Ingrate parasites

To don fake smiles
And pretend
Everything’s alright

Regardless, there will be a light
in my crudely carved pumpkin
and I’ll wear my mask and
gloves to dole out sweet
nothings to any intrepid
souls who venture
to my door....

wangling their votes, you've
got no scrupples for morals.
But your thinly varnished
ill-repute does attest
to the myth of the truth
of your loud oaths at best.
Yet, you flaunt your self-serving
generosity
as you grin good
in the glare of publicity!
