My god
powerful
almighty
look me in the eye
And I will smite thee
my wrath descends
at a tornado’s head
heed my command
beware the missives I send
trembling at your decoding station
I see you plot your sobriety
on the sixth day, I rested
benevolent winds sweep in
you smile in my embrace
lost in fervent worship
rain, rain went away
save my hurricane for another day
what of my subjects on the continent?
adoration in a foreign time
keeps my persona supple
Is that a cry for my attention?
on hold for seven to twelve business days
encrouch on my supposed boundaries
you have no clue where I reside
not in heaven above
nor in hades below
this pillar of smoke knows no home
while frantic in your search
my affections march on
throngs fall at my siren song
the vinyl spins till my record stop
lift the pin to coin this toss
tails you are it
I swoop low
emerge in new wardrobe
a familiar face approaches
where have you been?
where haven’t I been?
while big sky foraging
this page can’t contain me
infecting the masses
mesmerized in wafting plumes
my mystic conjures fantastic beasts
strumming ancient tunes
your knowledge is a single thread
in my quantum tapestry
This fool
Yes, I made mistakes
I admit it doesn’t look good
Not that my intelligence can be questioned
My heart vetoed my head
I registered the anomalies
as I was led down the garden path
See I hoped to be a sheep
blissful on some meadow somewhere
cheery in my ignorance
expecting the best to fall in my lap
checking in with the herd
keeping up with the fun
never missing out
posting the highlight reel
then came the wolf
see he lurks everywhere
even in your mind
I fell prey
living on the other side of the moon
cold truth knows no comfort
but I make my peace with it
It’s my deliverance
learn it for yourself
realize pain is universal
no one escapes
when the bubble pops
and you cant tell up from down
then it will be clear
there are no betters
whatever defences we set
cant outfox life
hungry we all are
man cannot live on bread alone
lets not make a meal of each other
Twin
the fierce tiny
you were never one of the cool kids
your eyes too sensitive
transfixed on the immaterial
feet on the ground
felt the call of the quirky
watching the sun fade in existential debate
tearing up as you walked away from art
however we skipped along to native rhythms
floated on merry wavelength
all while losing your tethers
to the has been
fret not
as it is
golden within
traipsing through a cheerful bonfire
hand in paw
fiddledee
Perspective
I am young in this old world
It looks at me curiously like I just landed
I cannot bear to think it existed without me
my booster pack ran out of juice
the trees sway in the breeze
I etch another notch on my bench
Amazing how nature sits still
while spinning past my light
I do care
even when I fail to look up
It hurts not to sing my song so true
Give me a chance
to heal my will
