... Blackest wings, scale higher than mountains
in the chill of tonight's air,
scarred and bleeding from within,
determined to reach her lover's side,
A voice calls out to her voyage
but her...

Premium MemberWhen is a dream not reality?

...A setted carving, 
   Written by privation 
      Words that leak through unfilled ink 
         Gawping empty between ridges. 
            Then those canyon cliffs retreat again 
              ...

...Lines in lightning carved in stone?
Geoglyph, take form.
Mile behind the melee zone?
Keep the soldiers warm.

Bright beside the boreal pole?
Buildings in glass, shine.
Heaven and Hell, thy con...

Where every inch with rich conception spanned,
With diligence, in Hades mayst they find
A path that to Elysian Fields doth wind.

So many burden...

Black Ice

...It gets into all the machines
and freezes up the works,
it coats the sidewalks and front steps,
and slipping on it hurts.
It sheens the railing so that when
you grab them gloves get wet,
it lay...

Mr Sewerman

...Grunt grunt below the gutter 
The man of the sewer works
With his big old rusty spanner 
He twists the pipes, the nuts and bolts
That struggle to hold the metal that jolts
The rats and roaches s...

when the red tape of work ends 
day's end
before darkness darts onto idling pillows

a too slight shine to navigate the strain of living
wounds unstitched

...Walking up uneven sidewalks—
up cracked little hills of pavement,
past dingy apartments
gliding through trailer parks—
rough rails and low fences
skidding my fingertips—
reaching the dampened s...

What a Ride

...I'm skidding broadside,
 in a cloud of smoke.
What an awesome ride,
 as I go for broke. 

This journey called life,
 shouldn't be pretty.
Nor laden with strife,
 just keep the gritty.

Traversing like a runaway hound
Eluding, hopping on series of mound
And lines of snowflakes over a thousand pound

Skiing from a snow peak so high
In my so...

...Remote works.
We're all floating particles, anyway.

Oh c'mon!
Let me live again!

How do we measure the distance 
Between two hearts?

If no man is an island,
And every man is an island, t...

A project with my small son
After so much paper folding
Sharpening important creases
Anticipation slowly increases
Thumb and forefinger holding
First flight testing has begun

For ten full years Evil fought him
Or so his skidding mind had thought
And the notion made sure he bought
“You get away now, I repeat
Or ready get to take The Heat...
