Concept was fuzzy, ill-defined, unclear
I accidentally said this with the teacher near
In the days when she could beat my rear
I had a horrific time in school that year

Rebel’s highway,
toll free line
Drifting median,
ill defined
Sirens distant,
flashing lights
Mocking laughter
—death’s delight

Tarnish not our love,
on this clinquant day
Let the stream
of consciousness flow
Be not ill-defined
of the clear waters
As the purity will reflect
my love for you X

I do not know?
We make the truth we need
to worship gods of time
And love in spite of hate
whose conjure ill defined
We set the past in stone
to keep tomorrow chaste
And travel inward free of both
—whose presence we displace

Tired, exhausted, with headache
I left my cares, foibles and troubles far behind.
Took a break.
In car I jumped.
Dialed random for 'peace of mind'.
All pumped,
To go
Free Ill-defined,
Faux.
Tired, exhausted, with headache,
In car I jumped
To go.

The Doctor and aspiring Judge
their facts now up for grabs
Agendas twisted, the world at stake
neoclassic power grab
Memories scarce and memories bent
all truth behind the lines
With punches far below the belt
—and justice ill defined

Worshipping
at the altar
of self-destruction
western man enshrined
Paying false homage
to every tree
the forest
in deep decline
Losing his place
among God’s creatures
to wander
far and wide
Asking flawed questions
running in place
consensus
— ill defined

It seems old poems never die,
remain inchoate, ill-defined.
No matter how hard we may try,
they haunt the forests of the mind.

Glow from slight open door shining my way
casting a long shadow of me behind.
I stand alone and think awhile, midway;
glow from slight open door shining my way.
Portal crossed, shadows fall the other way,
as does the light. The choice is ill-defined.
Glow from slight open door shining my way,
casting a long shadow of me behind.

What is beauty so ill defined
quantity of what matter?
Yet when I look in your eye,
wild lustrous eye of Mauve,
I am struck dumb with longing
to touch beauty, to be beautiful.
Again, what beauty?
Shall I dim the light?
We are one spirit, human.
Sometimes I see beauty in every
man and woman. Sometimes
beauty is contained in a single
point of light, in a certain eye.

The sky is a dull blur this morning.
At such opaque times,
I clean the lens of mind,
to see what clarity is behind
the gray filters.
Surprisingly, I perceive,
some last snowflakes
have been painted emerald,
by thin rays of light,
The air appears now,
as an ethereal lathe
turning the ill-defined into
buoyant landscapes.
Wiping my glasses,
the sky and earth
sparkle brighter still,
behind a clearer mind.

The Wall at Night
By Franklin Price
11/28/2018
The wall at night is haunting
Many names are written there
Ones who gave their lives for freedom
For others in our care
Looking back for all the reasons
Most of them are ill defined
To account for all upon the wall
Who were lost, now brought to mind
Night lights reflect upon the names
When looking East along the wall
The obelisk to our first president
Points to heaven for them all

I dove into myself today
And fought the rising tide
Of apathy and ignorance
That I had once denied.
I swam on through my waves of thought
And explored these depths of mind
To give my world some clarity
Among the ill-defined.
I plunged myself into the flow
And embraced the inner me:
The good, the bad, the oh so sad;
The things I’d always be.
I pushed on through the waters deep
And came out the other side
With understanding of myself
To act as my new guide.

Scummy waters slow lap
an ill-defined edge.
Broken Spider-tangles
drift like torn wedding veils.
The surface of the pond
is thick with rot
bracken, slime soaked weeds,
the yellowing seep of decay
smears the turgid water.
Yet now a ray of sun
stabs through the detritus.
I watch as a circle blooms
within the crud
light dancing beneath.
Clear water smiles upward!
The heart of the pond
is still beating bright.
I holler 'Amen' to the sky
and don't ask why.
