a threat was in the forest
walking on two legs
thru the mountains

some
focus on politics
others on crime
still others
gave up the shit diet

shouldn’t
they be accused of
murder
oh lord yeah

the death of ideas
the drone program
responsible tarnish

strange debris in the
garbage truck
a finger a head
a limb
sown together with
answers

celebrating facts
adaptive value
the joy of principle
pastoral wisdom
house of dirt
understanding
the lack of safety

likes toys that make noise

here’s a commercial
poke self in head
define frustrated
unchangeable change
guided growth
recognizing satisfying
words

growth with decisions
pulse reacting
shapes continue

forgetting who you were
explained no apology
the strength inside
the unlocked door

more junk everywhere
wisely placed time
there is
nothing wrong with you
not the same for everyone
choice takes the lead

emotional clutter
storage basement
a few boxes in the corner
rotting

necessity cleared

I am
only going home

the lasting sun
religious stars
unknown eternal

powerful mortality
burdens ending
time’s eraser
practiced daily
needs clear
and cloudy

caught a raindrop

one small step
unnoticed discomfort
learning
sleeps on the couch
dreams of the floor

proof
built with thoughts
and machinations

compromised awakening
understanding the story
being the plot

waiting for yesterday
till the poem starts
alters the shape

urgent in
a quiet urgent way
filled with billions
points to excitement

stoic
a key on a chain
your lock
your boundaries
your exploration
starts
with purpose

alone
just the ghosts
for comfort

mastering inane
how low must we go

will eat
your poison
suppose to drink
your blood
