vacancy
of my mind
no one here
no activity
no words
no music
empty
tired
sleep
void

The solidarity of a dark sky
Absence of the torrid light
Coldness into the eyes

Vacancy of nest,
Symbolizing natures growth;
New life will return.

pain
knocked
at the door
last night...
love answered,
invited it in,
fed it hope,
clothed it with faith,
and showed it the back
exit...

Red, Black, Yellow - Brown or White
During the day or - late at night
-	When Life is lost
-	It’s too great a cost
No justification can make it right....

Love
Overcomes
Vacancy
Everlasting

Yearning
Oscillates

Dust Danced

Dust danced above the unset table
mocking the sun’s attempt at warmth
randomly cavorted through the vacancy
of forever, and never, in collision.

A wall of printer's blocks, in rows, in ink, in metal, wood
Jumbled letters, thoughts exploded, chaos in unsteady line's eyes
with dusty vacancy slots formerly spelling: "I love you"....

Mr. Wink Vis Dang's vacancy meet!
The cardinal number that is the sum of 
My one line and his five.
You have nice colors at both wings
Your sound in the middle  
Without your favorite perfume 
soundless in row Roach....

Defining Grief 

the day my 
mother died
i was awake all
night
searching 
for a way back
into her womb

but she had
closed
her legs to me
wrote 
no vacancy 
across her heart 

and left without 
saying goodbye....

Slowly my world shatters
Unravelling all around me
Inside my heart is 
Cold, empty, broken
I have fallen apart completely
Drowning in the waves of sorrow
Everything I once was is swept away

My lips the vacancy sign,
my heart the hotel
You ran up room service again.
left burn marks on the mattress.
Rude to the staff
Yet you seem to always be welcomed back
With my lips flashing like a neon vacancy need for your love...

*VIDEO of Hawaii 2023

Hawaii Explodes

A calendar marking succeeds
Absence time textures
Epic life, episodic love, eulogized loss
Enigma nailed to vacancy
The urbane explodes
Hark ambitions, "Carpe Diem"

I lost a dear old friend the other day.

   His loss leaves a vacancy, I must say!

      I was sad beyond belief,

         Yet, in truth 'twas a relief.

            ('Twas a molar doc yanked due to decay!)

Internally, I am at peace
Making the most of those
Idle moments
Simply siphoning every last
Second of sanity
Yet there is the yearning
Opening the dusty heart has risks
Undeniable, soulful yearning...

Scattered shelters
Sometimes shine
Into the sadness
Of what is mine,

That gentle touch
Gives some relief,
Just swept along
A phantom beach,

As waves roll in
I feel the breeze
Replace my thoughts
With swaying ease.

At last returned
Into my vacancy....

MISSING TIG’R

Tig’r    nothing fancy
Essence of simplicity
Was a big    fat    cat
Vacancy behind the eyes
Poundable    a big    bass drum

Now we all miss him
Such a gentle animal
The gentle pounding
Gone to happy mousing grounds
The angels will adore him...

thoughts
bubbles
escaping
gone from my head
evaporated
dissipated
vanishing
into thin air
discharged
detonated
leaving
a void behind
a vacancy
mere grains of sand

creating
designing
my inner zen garden

Fashioned in enameled vacancy,
the gentry’s veil was pierced

Exposed unclean, all vices seen,
through fury sharp and fierce

The folly of their blasphemy,
whose cover all but blown

With blood to flow from ramparts high
—once driven from the throne

(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)...

dampening vacuum-yawns.....dictionaried-vaguenesses.....

yielding distorted vagrant-yarns.....

Abreast briny waters
Tides fill my eyes 
Churning color to black
Bashing against barriers 
A relentless crest 
Comes flooding back
It fills the cracks 
Then recedes
Exposing my shore
Full of vacancy
Iridescent nonetheless 
A trail of use to be to collect
For a bucket full
Of a beautiful mess...

Unattached

There's a space by my side 
and a hole in my heart
I'm unattached.

No one to share my love
just a vacant place inside
I'm unattached.

A place to partner - share my soul
Be a lover, love me whole
I'm unattached.

No where to lay my hat
Or find a families love attached
I'm unattached....

I looked for you today
In the places you used to stay
Doing the things you used to do
Seeing the sights you used to see
Being the person you used to be
But all I found
Was a vacancy
That should have been filled with you

Who could ever take up that space?
Which mortal could ever replace
You?
If it can’t be your face I see
Leave it be
Keep it empty....

Waiting
For the ready
pains of labor 
For the juicy 
ripening of that peach
Poking and prodding
At vacancy
It won't be forced
Knocking on the cold
Door of a hollow house
Staring in at 
Still and silence
There is no pulling 
the sun up in the night
Clocks tick and time 
Is not our own 
Hearts breath
Words to poetry
Maybe another day...
