A never ending task
over 4200 of them
we fire them
like Presidents
The secrets of eternity
change yourself
so that the universe
recycles you
for the butter

Growing old, like quartz and diamonds, the human being occludes.
The trials of life, leave cracks in the soul; grind the body back to dust.
All life recycles, in life after life; we all give back.

beams of hope tendered
mirror images refract
combustive spark
burning ember flames
radiant glare recycles
residual steam
intense stare refuels
bursts of energy stokes flame
sweet puffs of smoke stream

S end me home where silence reigns,
E arthworms spin secrets and scars decompose.

And so it goes
from cradle to grave
From baby’s wail
to funeral laid
We reason, ponder,
dissent, and cry
As time repeats
and years go by
Sages offer
their grand excuse
In what’s left wanting
to feed the muse
But one thing’s certain
to never change
Death recycles
— the same old game

I evacuate
sitting on a throne
of waste…
till something live
emerges – taking
inspiration, wherever
it comes from…
the writer strains
filling bowls
and wastepaper baskets
inspiration navigating
internals and beyond
I am a Literary Proctologist
claiming from recycles
deciphering bottomless spirit scents

A sad
miracle
of existence
in spite of our waste and
squander.
Our home
recycles
herself and cries
for complete renewal
and peace.
While we
reject our
first mandate to
care for and nurture all
of her.

Florida recycles Summer heat,
a slower version of a hot beat;
Fall’s still smoking;
Leaves crack and dull to brown
skipping the colors of Autumn;
Southern sky’s daunting;
September’s a soft shadow
with hollowed flames to follow;
Serotonin’s falling;
Freckled skin still a bit warm,
season has no time to transform;
Sunburn’s resurfacing.

cities bubbling with their stories
life playing out with all its drama
characters come and go
behind every curtain falls a hero
at other times a villain
the city recycles bit parts for show biz
in one continuous stage production

'down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind' -
Edna St Vincent Millay
In
Vastness
We shall lie
At peace, beneath
Mountains of moonbeams
No servants or masters
Equal bells, everlasting
Shackles of suffering release
Over celestial bridges, where the
Cosmos recycles our souls in stardust.

Waters edge
gator lies
raccoon gets
big surprise!
In forest
something hides
bird on branch
with two
slit eyes...
Unsuspecting
no cry
empty branch
lump inside!
Snake digesting
waterside
hungry croc
snake inside!
Swimming salmon
seeking spawn
searing pain
bears claw!
Plants decay
feeding ground
newborn sprouts
spring abounds.
Life’s cycle
ever green
it recycles
everything.
Life’s cycle
circles ‘round
all life
feeds ground.

Spicy smell metamorphoses
in the garbage.
The same chunk that stimulates
the taste buds
induces nausea. This is a bin
of dual relief.
As the darkness falls on the bare
reality, an arm
stretches through the hole
that nobody tries
to caulk. The stray man picks up
a gnawed chicken
leg bone, a scrape of fried mackerel,
some steamed rice
mixed with reddish yellow curry...
He recycles the
junk. Hunger can burn away
any disgust.
