Forrest Pasky Poem
snow falls
as silently as sleep
pressed snowflakes
icicle flowers
between the wind and windowpane
melt their way to sill
polished chrome darkness shivers
ankle deep in frost
night’s breath spills
along the frozen glass
its silver shadow rolls
and condenses with the dawn
night’s epitaph
written in blue mercury
trickles down my windowpane
in the light of a new day

Forrest Pasky Poem
she brings
the stars
to the night sky
she brings
the sun
to the day
without this light
we would live
in darkness
in darkness
we would live
in fear dismay
this makes us
appreciate
the light
the light
is love
in darkness
it allows us
to find our way

Forrest Pasky Poem
god muscles up
raw emotions bristle
neurons synapse and spark
she hesitates
learning to fly
the hair stands up
on the back of my
neck I shiver
remember to breath
learning to fly
her statue is as hard
as marble but she’s
as soft as vulerability
and so a woman
she’s learning to fly
with every day she
reinvents her future
she knows what she wants
she doesn’t hesitate
she’s learning to fly

Forrest Pasky Poem
platinum and grey
against the sky
it starts to rain
clouds silver linings break
birds tucked away in the trees
are quiet now
water gathers down paths
collected by gravity
intensity varies from
down pour
to steady
to trickle
these clouds
are in no hurry
and like variety
then suddenly a hole appears in the clouds
the sun shines through while it rains
like liquid sunshine
birds peek out from within the trees
and excitedly tweet
secure in their knowledge
that somewhere there is a rainbow

Forrest Pasky Poem
as stark as the sun
in a blue sky without clouds
so raw our thoughts
when we are honest
so brave
so fearless
our thoughts
when we finally
decide to decide
we can run
as reckless as the wind
that breaks the ocean's waves

Forrest Pasky Poem
king chrome rolling
platinum tyrannosaurus
rex with your baby
teeth showing spaceship
bomber takes on all
comers metallic rhinoceros
slowly going down the street
like a silver baby tank
king chrome rolling

Forrest Pasky Poem
with a wedge of glass
we split the rainbow
separate colors
into organized rows
of light
they stack
like dominoes
ready to topple
should we turn the lens

Forrest Pasky Poem
time passes
in a way where
we don’t see blood
pass from generation
to generation
too slow to be seen
by the human eye
the same blood runs
through different veins
with age and over time
it is only when we
observe generations
together in a mirror
spanning these years
can we detect its flow

Forrest Pasky Poem
it was the warrior
summer and she was tied
to the bed
per her instruction
good night
night night nighty
good God
good God almighty
the view of her was
going to my head
cinch me up boy
I don’t want no escapin’
if you do this right when
I beg for mercy
while you're video tapin’
stream it live on Facebook
post it on Youtube
it will be pulled as soon
as soon as they review
I don’t care
I want the world to see
what I want you
to do to me
show me what’s wrong
show me what’s right
make love to me
on this warrior night

Forrest Pasky Poem
cloves in oranges
cinnamon and rain
steam condenses
on cabinets and windows
and as tears
on bric-a-brac angels
purely decorative
their existence in
my mother’s kitchen
I never understood
