Unmaking Poems - Poems about Unmaking


Siren's Mirage

...Tomorrow’s lullaby
in footnotes to Dylan
Tomorrow blistering

Tomorrow Unpromised

...Where would we be
without the bomb
Was Einstein a savior
or devil aplomb
Our power the fire

Till stealing its physics  
unmaking our bed

...Blossomed solitary, a flower unseen
Colors missed; hues ignored

Unmade

...Prose… 
Has a room built in
For the reader
To crawl inside
And sleep

Maybe
More than one room,
Unmaking all beds
That the Poet

Orphan King

...Estranged from the familiar
you made me by unmaking me
for getting tired too soon
of fostering

The Nature

...Unmaking the bond 
between cause and effect. 
You start throwing stones 
as a mark of intimacy.

at dawn.

Ancient Sins

...Drunk with pride 
the streets are bursting
in self-indulgence.
Who was calling the shots ?

Do you know the words
between intermissions, carry a secret-

...Where once we laughed, bent over our middles,
pounding the table, or just smirking with a rueful

Excavations - the Perspective

...I tried to fly
God knows I tried
To bring the cherry back
For children in the nest.

...My sentence: repentance
The prison in which I was the cause
Their motions; their reasons
Where everything was nothing I could want

Bleeding Addiction

...I speak......the silence unmaking my words,

for here the shade of broken time does dwell.

I scream and fight to make cuts with these cords
