A nothing from nowhere cast his words to a world wide wind, hindered by periphery.
...white-hot coruscating genius that more than once dipped its proverbial toes in the obscure.

You get hungry as a seldom published author/poet/lyricist, so quit pedaling words and just enjoy the writing process. The bullshit ‘process’ of submitting is submission.

The widening fontanelle
I cover with a cap
         meager two-ply
for internal workings I expose
publicly
like an animal without clothes
         but wild
hides from potential prey that
doesn’t understand why
not trusted,
without quest for comprehension
(If you could near without ambush),

or,
unclothed because a babe
seen as an aging man
with no decorum to properly attire,
refuses tensile to top a pate
with wire hair graying,
         so the cap —
shadow a thin ghost
shackled to experience and belief
the earth spins backwards
but does not erase
         elapsed time

broken like Pangea
exposed in murky depths
to recall a tender, trusting child
before the first branch fell
fashioned as switch
         yes, tender and exposed
and, life has been like that.

who to trust to the skull?


4.22.23 (edit later)

My nephew who was a ‘specialist’ in Iraq reminds me I have a soft head, indirectly, by covertly showing me his knowledge, not realizing what he doesn’t say speaks louder than words, I’ve observed.

Thanks Tony

Edits to incorporate:

The Fontanelle

The poem "The Fontanelle" presents an intriguing exploration of vulnerability and aging. However, some passages could benefit from clarification to enhance the reader's understanding. Here are suggested edits:

I conceal the widening fontanelle
Beneath a meager two-ply cap,
Revealing my inner workings openly,
Like a vulnerable creature unclothed,
Yet, I remain elusive,
Hiding from potential threats
That fail to comprehend why
I withhold trust,
Without seeking understanding.
(If you could approach without threat),

Unclothed like an infant,
Perceived as an aging man
Lacking the decorum of proper attire,
I resist the tensile embrace of a cap,
My wiry hair graying.
So the cap becomes a shadow,
A fragile specter bound to experience and belief.
The earth may spin in reverse,
But it cannot erase
the passage of time,

Fragmented like Pangea,
Exposed in murky depths,
I reminisce about a tender, trusting child
Before the first branch became a switch,
Yes, tender and exposed.
And life has been like that.

Whom can I trust with the skull?

better title choice depends on central theme or message. a title that reflects vulnerability, aging, and trust, maybe, Fragile Veil or The Unveiled Self.

(and away from you)

My coffee comes out hot
needs the inspired container not eagerly chugged
cupped in two hands needing warmth
for mindfulness
in an arena sparked by arrival
perfect meditation
when two lips anchor the brim

face steamed
senses sip and savor brown flowage
passing a heart, vital
and the awareness of the vessel’s capacity
proper drainage at opportune intervals
wisdom to ingest
nearing the plumbed depth with just enough draught before
cold

the best moments
perfectly plotted
go as well as you could hope on any given day
make morning memory

I held you
you warmed me
I savored you
intertwining destined, famed,
over, when I pull
the sweetest, last moments flow
through knowing —
you, I could never clutch
contain close to my heart

but for a few patent moments...
life better...remember
honor you this way every morning
until the bottom, up.


4.22.23

We hold on to perfect memory knowing it fades or comes to an end without habitually repeating
It eventually leads to knowing the agony of brevity, how hard savoring the shortness of these love lives
when passion perpetually consumed is not enough, but with mindfulness make the most of it, before honoring what’s dead, long past consumed. Catalysts are bursts, not meant for perpetual motion. It’s what you do after you’ve been given a shove toward a direction - did you plot that course, can you decide where to go? Or do you stand near and igniter hoping it will blow you up? Decide all by aftermath’s fate. I don’t know who decides. If I say more… I have one week and a few days to decide…something
Cryptic, yeah, I know. How dare I be so cloaked and dramatic? I thought the SAME thing…before u. What right do I have to insinuate myself into anyone’s life? I can’t even be a loner on the internet…but at a safe distance.
