Trouble Making Sense


A flagrancy of purpose
Bestowed upon the bountiful beyond
A vanishing, surrendered
While editing the epithet of man

Focus
Respond
     Meditate
     Reply
              Visualize some far off place
              A palace without the aftertaste
              An Eden without the snakes
              An apple for your troubles
              A dagger for your dreams
So much, so little, so what?
Well…. as to that, I guess,
We shall see

Infernal Curiosity


Got an itch, got an itch
Fire-red brightly shines
Like a shock of culture in a
Numbing state—Quake
Erupt, embellish the truth and
Watch it rust, flash to dust
Watch it rust, flash to dust

Nightly neon, galactic dolls
Shake their triumphs down the halls
Broken record, playing loud
Blasting forward, dismissing sound
Got an itch, got an itch
Scratching the fever from beneath the skin
Digging deep, deep down in
Digging deep, deep down in

Flamethrower, nitro-sun, blazing bright, blazing bright
Elapsed inferno, tin-tied tongue, shedding light, shed it’s light
Conflagrating fire, burning flames within
Heat is rising; sky’s ablaze, blackening earth, searing skin
Waiting on salvation, praying, that this bug’s been tamed
Waiting for salvation, hoping it’ll end this infernal pain

Temperatures are rising; smokescreen’s filling frame
Hoping for a flashflood, a drowning man’s beckoned
Hoping for a flashflood, to quench the thirst this fire’s sprung
Praying for the rain to come, MAKE IT RAIN, MAKE IT RAIN

To wash away temptation, to alleviate the flames
To damper down the charring and drench the thirst we crave
Douse and spin, Douse and spin
Heaviest downpour, Ferocious wind
Takes away the fire, absolves us from the sin

All comes to a standstill, a silent time for all
Everything’s grown quiet, no motion, no more calls
But it only takes one spark to smolder
Just one drop to light another, to ignite and stir
The accelerant at play, erupting forth, riling up flame’s astray
All to burn and burn again—for mankind’s fire’s yet been slain

As Night Settles Into Darkness Once More


Five one-hundredth
Shrack, sh……….rack!
A white flash covets the evenings ebon gown
One one-hundredth, Two one-hundredth, Three one-hundredth
SCKERASH>…BOOM!

The stainless steel counters mirror the eyes of a 15-year-old kid—ignorant yet to the way of the world—just happy to have a job—to be up late at night, working, while his classmates are either sound asleep, or just finishing their nightly cram sessions—all in the name of honor roll eligibility…to please?

SKKRack…Skkracch…Skkrach…Blam!

Soap pail in tow, sudsy rag applied to drab yellow walls, eliminating the spackled V-shaped pattern away from view

A cold stutter bellows from within
Flash. Flash. Flash. Flash
All quiet! And the silence persists… …Leaves one wondering
Should the aftermath be explored now or in the morning?

Wicked Archetype Of The Apathetically Free


Abdominals inches from torn
Every swish of acid repositioned
Bury the leads of a thousand tempests
Breeding amidst the sunset of a phoenix in descent

Guttural individuation, primal, raw, unembellished, bare—
Cultural subterfuge, colander spaces submitting to hoar
Spreading vice-typecast as villainous hate mongers, pre-polarized with venomous stares…

Are the vile objects that surround your person, truly the vermin your eyes project them to be?
     Perhaps they truly are the enemy; quite possibly your instinct is correct, yet, one must be somewhat curious, to realize what ramifications lay in waiting, ready to pounce upon your horizons, the precious moment, their heirs prove your imagination false?

Scavenger of the people, envisioning bass tones created from an instrument entirely human in composition.
Delicate rapture, cast amongst a cabernet of excitement…I’m
Shocked to find, so many aligned to witness the end…

A Time When All Things Ended In Prayer


A cone of silence
Cubically unaware

A destiny compacted
Into a square of soil
Unfit for growth

Geometrically opposed
Soft-shelled replicas
Of some prior time—
Reflecting
Cursorily in the seekers eye

A fate unboxed—tethering
Ideas together in various shades—
Sentimentality regurgitated through
A quaint appreciation of all things
Dissociated from a world consumed by effigies.

Polarized, we rotate eastward.
Entranced, we sidle to the south.
Encapsulated, we wander westward,
Hypnotized, we kneel before the northern sky.
