This place feels sharp, yet vague and stale;
The clash stirs strife within.

Stir Of The Starts
...In the quiet nook of a loving home,
Is my small world-
fenced by iron bars,
and a limited sky.

Pronounced

In fields of wild poppies
A colored bath

Ephemera
...There’s a box lying somewhere.
Somewhere in a dusty cupboard.
Somewhere behind old paper, older words, and wounds older still.
Somewhere no one can find it.
I think about it, sometimes.

I open wide the door that I imagine sits unlatched
Inside this magic land of mine, I'm longing to explore

The house cat unlatched the cage door;
Squeezed in to then find he's done for.
A quick turn-about
Canary flew out!

The Journey of a Gaslit Soul

the date of Death.
In the theatre of life that unlatched,
happiness to what count
heartaches to what count to be taken,
to be scripted down on my own.

A running mind off the long board
A sleeping mind across the board
A winning mind over a long sword...

Sticks fly up invisible chimneys.
A strong wind unearths
the stringy and unlatched,
in the ruptured earth, makeshift mouths
gawp and gape.
