For Life Itself

At last on my deathbed

I reach for two words

 

The ones often transient

or sadly unheard

 

As my eyes close forever

to journey anew

 

Two words mark my passing

a final “Thank You”

 

(The Book Of Prayers: September, 2022)

Silent Voices

External conflict

(versus)

self-disaffection

 

The first a misdemeanor

(the second)

a higher crime

 

Inarticulate

powerful yearnings

trapped in between

 

Inarticulate

powerful yearnings

—of that forever lost

Eternity’s Child

 Born without reference

freedom prevails

 

The moment supreme

comparison failed

 

Living without reference

judgment defiled

 

Existing intrinsic

—eternity’s child

Plus Minus

Can nothingness exist

could existence be as nothing

 

Can something break from everything

—subtraction zero sum

The Whole Is Greater…

I liked Democrats

when they acted like Republicans

 

(and)

 

I liked Republicans

when they socialized with Democrats

 

I liked women

when they reveled in their difference

 

(and)

 

I liked men

—when they didn’t act at all

One Look

Without a shake

of the head

or turned up nose

 

The truest form

of rejection

—the eyes

Whiter Dwarf

To be anything more

than what it is

To be anything more

than who you are

To be anything more

than what’s been said

To be anything more

—than anything more

Frozen In Time

Poetic angst,

Jimmy Dean

 

Poetic angst,

Brando screams

 

“Stella, Stella,”

the spirits call

 

“Live Fast, Die Young”

—the fates befall

Cultural Rescindence

Evolution changes

the mind of man

 

All insight martyred

for wider scans

 

The magic filtered

as books proclaim

 

What facts uncover

and time disdains

 

Evolution fosters

a weakened soul

 

Each process stifled

the gist untold

 

Forever whittled

in narrow canes

 

Tomorrow empty

—the past defamed

“The Native Hue Of Resolution”

We have nothing to do

—but be who we are
