Short Filter Out Poems

   No more fear 
     of what I might hear 

   My ears filter out the rot

the brain erases time,
to rearrange events,

dropped down in a canyon of heartfelt misery

A fervent haze rises across the baked horizon 
burning deep visions of succulent lips waiting
on honey dipped words to melt frozen moments 

-never forgotten...
