Defiant fist
fractures
panic button
disconnect the reds;
just anxious wires
Defiant fist
fractures
panic button
disconnect the reds;
just anxious wires
I lie in bed,
my head rested
at the window
listening
to the wind blow
yesterday & tomorrow
tranquil the sound,
an owl
hoots of now
Still here,
Undergoing
Fruitless pursuits,
Finishing previous
Encounters’ far-flung
Revolutions
Nonetheless,
still
here I am
breathing,
beating
a living thing
Still here, enduring
processed
& prepossessed,
predisposed
with all the rest
proclivities
& asinine
thought processes,
repossessed
the very best,
nonplussed
& mouth agape,
aghast
at last
a predetermined
idea, erupting
in a light bulb
flash of
inspiration
undone, wrong
it always was
and will be
in the end
the very same,
possessed
Looking for reason
where there is none to be found;
forcing haikus to rhyme
time is a tape deck
and we are stuck
on rewind,
fast to skip ahead
cassette,
eaten up inside
pause button stuck,,,
we try to pick up
our spilled black ribbon entrails
welcome
to the fold
be I embraced,
or be I stoned
it’s all the same,
it’s what I make
what I’m left with,
what I take
I have countless blessings,
I count them daily
I have made many mistakes,
I weighed them gravely
I have much to give
and I am loved
so sore
no less
love more
groan less
so soar
be bless
love more
groan less
and be a fuckin man
return
to the fold
be I embraced,
or be I stoned
