Invective Tongue – June 28, 2020
Pungent hits the ground Running Fleeing the scene It has every right To be here After everything it’s seen Feeling punches Rolling round the crowd All of us are talking Way too fucking loud
The Eyes That Behold You – June 28, 2020
Your lengthy lingers Pass by at a trot I feel you come and go Just as you please Most times With no regard To what’s looking up at you From below
Unzipped – June 27, 2020
I revel At times In the aught ~~~ That boils, Simmers It away ~~~ Returning Always to Anything at all
My Mind – June 24, 2020

The Pain That Resides – May 31, 2020
You feel low Really low There are no words And I would know I’ve been probing And trying to explain The damage It’s harsh And quiet It’s not talked about Or wanted It wanes And then it flows So it gushes And on and on it goes...
At the Core – May 10, 2020
A rotten Core Browned and Leathery You can smell The tangy aroma If you breathe deep enough Toss me down And walk away When you turn around I will have grown Sturdy and blossomed again You’ll see my reflection Deep rooted And perfectly me This time You will reckon What I gave up To give … Continue reading At the Core – May 10, 2020

Let Me Stand Up – May 29, 2020
I will not burn down Your city I will not throw trash in Your street I will not yell and scream at You Or harm You I will stand up In Your moment of need I will speak with my hand on Your shoulder I will cry with You For what We have lost Are … Continue reading Let Me Stand Up – May 29, 2020
