Ground zero?? Zero tolerance?? Carbon zero??
Zero vision?? A catchisam of the green-religion??
You don't need a passport.!! Not if you've been
Max-xed.! To stay in your country, district, flat!!
Or to enter.!! From wherever! Oh so strange?? In fact
On observation this seems most de-ranged.!!
Yet maybe however?? its just ( my theory? ) and
We will be assured upon a (building back better)
With a whole new history?)
breathing in and out, fifty-fifty.
my eyes mind the dust particles
that snow in the blizzard air.
fortified catatonic blankets -
the detachment of my universe.
the horde of cats ski-
pped out eons ago.
the television screen crac-
ked and erroneous.
the teapot’s truant whistle.
mug on padded coasters.
no flippant pages, books bo-
xed up, sealed with rainwater.
soulless shoes left behind
on an unvacuumed rug.
I long for a raven to rap on the door.

Silence Poetry Contest
Anxiety bursts confusion
distraught entanglements frenzies
grappling hysteria indecisiveness
jitters knockings lows
mania noticeable oppression
panics qualms rigorousness
sufferings torments unhappiness
valuelessness wretchedness xed
yucky zaniness
In and out of tiny holes
the needle flows
to create a picture with floss
on a blank canvas cloth
punctured with spaces
in which the thread builds
people or places
by making little crosses
patiently xed back and forth
in a stupor awakened only
by a change to another vibrant color.
And then, aaah there ... its done
ready to be framed and freely given
from this exquisitely
priceless space called creation.
