• Date night starts in an hour
• I can't wait another second
• Good for me to know today didn't go sour
• A .47 caliber pistol + my faith in humanity

• Reflecting off the red light
• Apparently it was there since yesterday night
Moon doesn't pose
Covered by fog's soft silver shroud
Sun hasn't touched rose

• Apparently I left the oven on...
• And almost blew up the house
• Me thinks the reason was me trying to kill a mouse
With open arms embrace the light
Let the light reveal the darkness
Then travel into His presence so bright

SUNDAY MORNING August Kleinzahler
a craftsman, a maker of lines
stands out from the crowd
if read aloud
Shadows of night close around me
Like a velvety cloak of darkness,
But I recall that joy comes in the morning.

EGO TRIP
Me,me my forever sigh-
will insecurity die
in an hedonistic cry ?
Inspired by Will Shakespeare's Threnos tristich form 7:7:7
A.Sunday morning August Kleinzahler
a craftsman, a maker of lines
stands out from the crowd
if read aloud
no more time
to shed
tears
no more lies
to feel
truth
no reason
to be
nice
nothing left
to fear
loss
no vision
to see
God
Slash me with the sharpest sword,
Strike me with the minor chord,
From condescending, cutting word me spare.

The News was trumpeted from atop Mount Sinai
A Sabbath day of renewal, given to all humanity
Thereon to rest, to refresh -- to recapture Eternity
With lethal liquid in the syringe
As he approached his aged, mangy dog
Lying still n’ waiting summons, it wagged its tail
See the bright star
shining afar
high devoir
Jesus is born
A bright new morn
Life adorn
omnipotent
life innocent
infinite
lying supine
I see passing
puffing clouds fair
lying supine
I see gray puff
passing clouds fair
lying supine
I see too gray
sure, all is fair
He likened death to sleep
Safe in God's memory keep
While those without hope weep
