the fountain

i must remember the fountain

the stagnate water
the defunct nature
of stillness

accepted & drudged
yet still yielding
the tortuga life

carry on

and then
it overflows
spilling into the
now glistening water

the worldly dreams
are no coincidence
the metaphor
of existence

it still can change
to blue from gray

once you
let it be

crono

11 pelicans
over new smyrna

april showers
to bring
the transition of spring

the presence of saul
on fridays

and the imminent recession
blacklisting hope
because change shows


my accessory
to ignorant confession
my chard belief
in forthcoming

two herons
with fallen wings
brown and broken
at the seams

the defunct overflows
there's something
beautiful
in the mold

the throaty fowl
of a bitten tongue

and the incoherent unsung

this platter of a days thoughts
served fresher than any fish
(as inconsistent as a miss)
professes the insignificance
of my everything

like counting the rain
or waiting for a ring

it's all relative
in the bird's eye view

skew skew skew

proponents and components
clockwise cogs
piggy on the clock
heart stolen by onslaught

cock cock cock

in the chop shop
second rate prize winner
sly loving sinner
released on accountability

black and blue
she's counting who?
are the numbers her hover?

or is the secret obscured
by the unweighted absurd
and the accepted disregard of life

the invisible knife of brutus
lurks in unpredictable ides
shall i choose a side

or hide under the foolish
grace of time.


open wide
panoramic
shutter the scene
mimicked memory
the model for infinity
too bad humans
aren't user friendly

i dream of the capacity

the possibility

of peace

of making endsmeet

tying together
the perfect fit
for the frame of
my life

watching the birds
fly by
i know everything
will work out right
