A nothing from nowhere cast his words to a world wide wind, hindered by periphery.

With a free hand…

Door
closes
Vacuum
seals
me
in
Windowless
gazing
wallpaper
worlds

Door
opens
Air
gushing
all
out
Cross-legged
ruminate
wall-world
messages

I
am
free
as
I
was
before
Thanks
To
All.

11th hour, 2024, in your houses
no ghost roams

Poetry found me, not the other way around.

It’s a gift…and a curse. But mostly,
a burden.

Collapsible and Rising

Hands tied and in my dark
Soon to swing
Hope the angels sing
A chorus, in death, a lark
Plunge me further
         Toward humility

Filled with wonder, alone
But not dread that
I could lose my head
A chorus for you I’d phone in
Instead, elevate
Toward ignominy

I bear this weigh on land legs
Cross-strapped for you
Because you need me to
Stand on this platform
Let all pass through
Toward indignity

One lever displaces a floor,
the galvan-blade
Sudden game stayed
Before a knot frayed, neck coarse
Still your undead, spirited
Toward humanity

The soul of one man, not severed
Either, or in any way,
Not deprived air in judgment days
A tongue stilled. But, a pen-hand
Cannot hush, walks tall tides thick
         Toward divinity

See you there?

Made up here in 12 minutes, listening to Rhye “Sinful”. Editing longer.

On this scape, no one’s goat. Everything broken
before I could enter a POW incarnation of Machiavellian-inspired complication,
dystopian wall writ and flawed, because
you cannot apply a Chekhov instrument in this…space

Every outcome known and knowable, cannot
make a true Winston drop, take a knee
without the missing physical element…merely a rug tug…
not the referential bus, beneath body-tossed.

More will than all and
…not dead…beca-ause….

You look lonely and worried…



Spun out and perfectly content.

I Wake To Rest

I wake with numb sensations that make me wonder
if I might be alive
if I might rise, hover over carpet,
dully view out nose-print pane of memory
scenes,
if I might go to recollections after thoughts
I might be moved through a frame
slightly larger than the necessary size,
if I might
wander on worn hall carpet
position to see larger frames
with inset glass tempered
with just the right scenes
where life witnessed grand,
if I might
see a view of the street
should I float down past
suspended images on walls of their likenesses
if I might
make it to the landing
open vista to anywhere
that I might imagine a horizon that day
seek warmth from sun up to set
without a regret
yet
I linger
inhabit a world
I claimed, but not mine
where I’ve laid to rest many years
skin-crimp this wrist, twist red, redder,
again and again
hope hoping
put on spectacles to see sights of all that remains
in these shadows,
where I’ve communed in silent illumination,
also wondering,
if this is my story post death.

I would send post cards from the grave if I could.
This one’s for you. Sorry I’m not there to see you open.

She stumbled over skin-crimp, as I didn’t want a tired expression for pinch…still working on?
