ink dogs
An abrasion there, on an inky finger, both hard-earned
Zest and zeal in the palm of a humble hand
Awestruck there
The noise is different down here, though
Mad-dogs and hurricanes at your back
A inhumane society nipping at random achilles
Sleepless here
Court Time
Something so delicious, I’d coach you if you asked
When you lay it all down at the end of a Day
Aching in your body but not in your heart
Then the special way to sleep, a position most perfect
To taste what I’m talking, all I can offer you is practice
Soda
Where were we recently, beautiful boy, where you sat so close to me -bubbling happily at having used your voice- and smiled, finally, finally receiving all you so earnestly wanted (a simple enough request, so why’d you been denied so long, we both thought simultaneously), for it’s only sugar, and, after all, what harm could it cause…what trouble might it make?
The Contrast
Judging
Stabbing
Muter of truth
A bane hijacking my ears
Pilferer
Thief
Murderous lech
A fool who’s voided my heart
Please Fade
Damn
Damn
He never gave a damn
He never gave a damn
He never gave
He never
He
He
Peel: A Haiku
Where may I confess
With Whom might I seek Council
And vow my resolve
The Cost
Herald horizon’s glow
The coming home
The glory of the toil
The warm haven waiting
For only you
And, because I once loved
I did, I know!
My heart breaks for you
Who’ll count the cost
To leave on heart lights
To stoke the soul’s fire
Who’ll sleep so alone
Green
And when we’re nearly ninety-nine
Fading, yet certain of our fate and the love it made with us
Green still, relatively so
We’ll walk, treasuring the sands, the time
I think, given this headache
