everything floats up
down & out
the bubble beyond the lip
a passing mist
a shadow of a doubt
a spring sprout
seconds washed in energy
a dripping time bomb
sheer will of force
sheer will of thought
hands on 'static
feed the clock
tend the flock
always over the shoulder
fairness is fate
and we all got a date
in the sky

springing to fall

april showers bring
may flowers

i am fond of sprouts
and green things

hoping for clarity
with the rain

hoping for something
to hold on to
other than these reigns

tis the time of strength
and decisive days

the heat of summer
will soon turn me
upside down
insides out

the cards beckon
for change

steal away
24 and alive
steal away
24 and alive

just knowing
i've barely reached
a beginning
just knowing
i have no ceilings

the unfavorable months
wrap up
and I just got a hunch
this won't be no
summer of love

it appears the trials
have only begun...

lazarus

the lizard dance
shows me there are spies
waking early to pay respect
& i sleep in a happy retreat
in black before the pastel comes
cause it is darkest before Dawn
my memory long
my word way short
the soft comfort of indoors
the scent that keeps me away
everything..simply everything
attaches to a day
my cross a coral tusk
am i a scrooge for not having faith
enough?
a sacrifice has occurred,
thousands of years Before,
so I can Breach the good order of the Heart
everyday, in a land of sand &
dust, jesus lives, bleeding a war
to repent for the American sin
The sacrifice remains true to the day
holy or haunted
we will flaunt it...
a sunday of tribute
so we can return
to closed office doors &
feel true to our damned
cause, so we can finds strength
in our sin, so we can blink
while the future is in Our hands.
To all that is true
all that endures
& all that makes us pure.
To why we continue on
hatchet to the sun
arm & arm
better for the Cause.

ride the wake, caught the wave...
the planes pass over &
the tip of my tongue is well aware
my heart at resting rate
the sky----still out of reach
the moon---shining through the trees
me-screaming silently
