Last Sayonara

Smell

the most

precious

and last sense

to go

 

Its

lingering

fragrance

vanishing

slow

 

A

single

carnation

a bright

yellow rose

 

Through

deafness

and darkness

till death 

—wafting so

‘To Hate All The People Your Relatives Hate’

Religion

the bullet

that loads

in your gun

 

Projecting

its damage

belief

zero-sum

 

Exclusion

delusion

its sights

center mass

 

To kill

nonbelievers

 the infidel

class

Heaven’s Cake

Like it

dislike it …

it is

what it is

If written

unsmitten

all fate

in the wind

Rising

or falling

the mixture

the same

True joy

in the

baking

—whose icing remains

To Albert

At the

Event Horizon

‘No Exit’

leading in

Front to back

side to side

entropic

rim to rim

A blacker hole

a deeper truth

beyond just

right or wrong

Light imprisoned

no way out

entrapping

—weak and strong

Pervenire

The further out your writing goes

—the further in you are

Memories Chill

Love fades away

life goes on

Music divorcing

 words to a song

 

Into the darkness

into the night

Melody orphaned

absent the light

 

Love fades away

time stands still

Harmonies vagrant

 memories chill

 

Voices celestial

echo alone

Love once abeyant

—life is disowned

Final Due Date

A moment of truth

a century of lies

The left hand deflects

what the right hand decries   

 

A little bit pregnant

the ending begins

A monster gestating

—and living within

Lunar Surprise

You can’t embrace

the moment forever

whose verity

at essence ungrained

 

By definition

it must rename itself

once mentioned

decried and disclaimed

 

What came upon you

to die in place

where vacuums exit

in time and space

 

Regenerating

from life’s cocoon

and starting over

—Amayasvan moon

Rainbows End

Geometrically

Progressing

Each Day

Valued more

The closer

The end

The sweeter

The lure

Forever Inked

Dirty water

washes away

poetic indifference

 

Leaving the stain

of what will be

—on what forever might have been
