Therapy

There are so many groups
Holding different keys to awareness, 
Enlightenment,
Reality, understanding 
And truth,
Perhaps, jailor-like, I should collect them,
Yet I have my own set of lock picks.

Unmarked Graves

Arresting the future
 as well as the past
Time the great jailor  
its prison precast   

A graveyard of victims
in temporal loss
Destiny preying
—perdition the cost

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)

Inhibition

As your own harsh jailor, keeps you
Chained up in the dark
Fight the fear now; beating off
What of it shouts down
That wishful-voiced, repetitive
To leap which mind-wall.
An exultant escapee-
The sound of midtown!

Premium Member One-Eye Jake

Their youngest boy, they call him one-eye Jake
He was as means as a black mamba snake
Cursed like a landlocked sailor
Took a job as a county jailor
Made all the money a good thief can make.

The Prisioner and the Jailer

the jailor and the prisioner
the addicted and the addict
the enabler and the addict
daughter chooses a crackhead husband
who forbids her to see her family
he beats her
and she stays
because
when he's sober he's great.
I've seen him
He's satan.

Claustrophobic Walls

Claustrophobic walls

These claustrophobic walls
That grasp and hold me tight 
Destroy my very soul
And end my will to fight
Enclosed I am in loneliness
My mind a silent yell
Age became my jailor 
And my home a prison cell
I hope each day for visitors
I pray that someone calls
But all I see in my final days
Are these claustrophobic walls

Blood From the Nipple

sun sunk unto the womb 
of the sea
stars cried at the tomb
tears of warm blood
through glittering eyes
moon meowed, dogs sang melodies
unheard
rivers rattled prayers breathed
unborn kids, mirror is a
jailor
secrets in the seed tears on the cheeks
mirror mutinied
naked dusks wingless birds limping
silence of the divine music flows
colourful coffins saints marching
blood from the nipple
breast milk
tasteless
