In an attempt
To not be
Too candid
Hardly spoke at all
The truth so very
Slippery to be
Told frankly
Feelings and
Whatnot
Always in
The way
The undercurrent
Of emotions
Treacherous
For those
Divergent
Not wanting
To cause a stir
Or to be
Bothered
At all

Black cat doesn't care
Denial of tomorrow
Feline nonchalance

Stirred to life
From ashes
Of a former self

Conflageration
Giving rise
To rebirth

Walking in
The ruins
Of a stranger

Called by a name
As of yet
Unrecognizable

Admiring the totality of
The wreckage...

Permanence
Leaning on
The corner
Rationalizing
The need
To go on
Trying hard to
Comprehend
A temporary
Reality
With no need
Of durable
Artifacts
Thinking perhaps
It should
Have been
A digital poet
Creating
Momentary
If not amusing

Who even knows where this one came from. Halloween I guess.

Ungodly
The hour
Though not
For lack of light
Spirit moon
Shines upon
Dark minions
Trading lessons
One to another
Veritble bargains
But poor exchanges
Palpable current
Of evil air
Sealing
Drifting deals
As money falls
Into dire hands
Cobblestone creatures
Scurry off
Rich and unforgiven

#poetry

Woodchuck on
Porch claiming
To be a
Goundhog

Mistaken for
Door to door
Salvation
Salesman

Rough beast
Slouching
This way
To be born

"The ash from ash is just a phonetic coincidence", she said, poking the fire with a stick, "an old English linguistic collision of sorts". He knew she read a lot but wondered if she had ever climbed an #ash tree, "I like their leaves", he replied, "like a group of friends, holding hands".

Moving through here
Properly unprepared

Born under
An absent
Moon
Delivered
In darkness
With an
Empty hand

Possesion
Not Possesions
Longed after

Times
When everything
Could fit in
Small bowl
Looking for
Smaller bowl

Just a maze
decorated by
the person
that was lost
yesterday

The years
Winding about
Toward
An alleged
Profound exit

Drapes in the wind
An azure
Never imagined

"I seem to have reckless abandonment issues", he said, "life is so short and I'm afraid I'll get lost", she looked at him funny and wondered if he was clueless or genius, "don't worry", she said, there's no known cure for that, except for wandering further".

Arms red
And scratched
From shinnying
up trees
#bark so rough
And first limb
Too high
Top though
Worth it
The view
Good enough
But the silence
Near perfect
Wind so very
Pleasant
And fond
Memories
Everlasting

This perfect moment
So temporary
The component parts
Too difficult
To assemble again
Stars don't stand
Still for long
Only memories
Tomorrow

According to
Gravity
Water also
Bound to
Fall

No thought
At all

Away in
A logical
Direction

So temporary
This momentary madness
Tomorrow's sunrise

"I found a cultural artifact on the road", she said, "attitudes regarding values and the perception of one's peers crossed my mind, but I decided to pick it up anyway". He laughed because he was with her at the time, "it was just a dime", he said, "have you got a nickel I can borrow?".

Woke up
Beaming and
Wondered
What possibly
Might be
Wrong

The right side
Of bed
An alien
Territory
Mostly
Unexplored

Sun in the window
Alarming

"I was looking at your coordinates for tomorrow", she said, "and I think they #clash with the mood I have scheduled." When he had plotted the course he knew that patch of space would be tricky, "it works for sad and forlorn but I can adjust a little", he replied, "how's bittersweet work".

What dystopia this
That unravels
On purpose
Just to re-ravel
As something
New yet similar
Bare threads
Already revealing
Fresh skin
Ready to burst forth
And cry for
Reinvention
What indeed
Is wrought
Demanding destruction
Yet still wants us
To be home
In time for dinner

In between
Private and

Is another life

An almost

Waiting

Three pennies
On the floor
Wishing
It were more
Not quite
Enough
To be picked up
Unless of course
A shoestring
Needs tending
Shine all gone
Blending well
Soon to be
Forgotten

Being aware of retrocausality, he was always reviewing his history to make sure his current decisions were having the proper effect on his previous actions, "quantum steering suggest ones temporal wake should improve with right action", he said to himself. Secretly though, he had his doubts.

Broken lights
Illuminate
The darkness
With more dark
Doorknobs
Attached to
Wide open
Fields of grass
Don't open into
The next room
But into broken down
Old fords
Waiting to rust
Startled blackbirds
Fly forever away
Not looking back
At all
