Enthralled

.
.

To escape this mess

Which replenishes

Itself expanding

In exponential

Doubling lives

That kill

I shall interrupt

And digress

And drink coffee

And swing my feet

While sitting on

The bulldozed porch

Of your memory house

Or in the ashes

Of my ancient

Burned Tangerine Tree

Or relaxing reposed

In the Aspen Grove

That hides

Quaking shimmering

Under side-walks

And grocery stores

I shall speak to you

Or no one and jabber

Adult nonsense

Hello I am fine as

I pretend not to weep

You will recognize me

By the smile in my eyes

As I sit trapped

On the floor entralled

By children

Drowning in laughter

I cannot rise

Above such moments

Which are

Eternity preserved

It All Lingers

.
Honor requires that
Reparations must be made
History lingers

Red Hair Soup

.
.
Once there were four red-heads
Living in the same room
One lived insane
One died mad
One was entirely alone
One was a child
.
One room with many walls
Many compartments
To sort all the words
Shouted singing together
In the floor sprawled days
Stirring red hair soup
.
Generated by their
Proximity to each other
Electric sparks
Lifted and tangled
Sorrel red deep dark red
Red blonde and henna dyed
.
Repelled each resided
In a diamond corner
North and South and
East and West
Inverted the four
Slept on the ceiling
.
The long tangled red hair
Felted together in hot hearts
Fused above dangling feet
Sleep walking in air watching
Six sleepless eyes unblinking
The child asleep in her corner
.
Once there were four red-heads
Living in the same room
One lived insane
One died mad
One was entirely alone
One was a child
.
.
One was me.

Denial

.
.
Denial folly and mortal sin
Provide plenty of misery
For opaque muddy spirits to wallow in
.
Pain suffering and strife
Hope illusion lie carry over eternal
Deny this current hellish life
.
Skip around the reason wallow
To the tomorrow blithely dance
Closed mind denying thoughtlessly any call follow
.
Blind horizon’s the end
Deny the consequence and the All
Hatefully allow Hell to ascend
