Ire of the sun
That burns my back
Out on the field
While I till my deal,
Paying due my contract
In upsetting the sum.


The eye of the sun
Photo-sin-the-sizing the grass.
Who was I to eat green,
The synthetic crop yield?
Still weeding mature grass
To add up my pathetic yield!!!...

deep in the trenches
a forest of cardboard trees
and  stained glass windows
twiddling pieces through fingers

What would you be doing?
Grasping
Clinging
Charging
Crying
Obsessing
Moaning
Groaning
Complaining
Criticizing
Judging
Organizing

Compromising
Realizing
Sizing
Laughing
Cheering
Eating
Drinking

Smiling
Praying

Goodbye-ing
Loving.

A Room with a view
Tight-dressed woman, heaving heart
Sizing hips for overweight
My inside motive
Lust leads me fly half a mile
To indulge storming senses.

Vision I nurtured
Years back, intruding my thoughts
A swarming brain, empty bed.
Now expanding stain
Like crowded private bookcase
Gathering dust, vision blurred.
