Sitting ignorant alone
The darkened theater of life
Waiting still for the inevitable ending
Where they finally meet and ride away
Together
Having long since fallen
But the screen faded many minutes ago
The credits rolled
When did I look away and not see
Love, of course
I finally hear the brooms
Sweeping away the left-behind
The popcorn and candy and bad dreams
The exit sign flickers as if clearing its throat

We must never trust April, alright?
Consider back
The beginning of bad instinct
The timing of rain
And the push through despite
Do you recall its tale
Of flowers to follow
And new birth to come?
Hyperbole
Ridiculous
Conspirator, April
Grasping, Gnashing
Cross words,
With politically correct symbols
Handfuls of hair,
And screams to the wind
Will not alter truth
Eyes cast downward,
Then to the sky
Music defiant,
At full decibel
Will not transform you
Peace
With what happened
With what is no more
With what cannot ever be
With that there’ll be flowers again
Is mine to decide
Giv’n In
There is only ever the weather
And whether you know,
Its impetus
It may have been the warmth that Day
The Westerly winds
That saved and destroyed me
Now, despite what I want
To believe
I must bid the tides their will
Muddied
Tenderly
Please
Tenderly
Let your sainthood cover me
I am not
Myself
Today
My knees need your soft survey
This night
Now
Lightest touch
Small ease shan’t require much
Crushed
Busy, busy, boy in red
But I’m swifter still
Get my demise in your head
Think to be my pill
Do you dream I’ll give my all
To your damnedest plan
This Dark Friday caused your fall
My The Great I Am
Dawned
And then when dusk becomes inevitable
Denial becomes plain as day
Admit it we must
There are words that won’t be uttered
Tones of voice reserved for others
Questions never to be asked
Surprises fade into midnight’s nothingness
Passed
A film
About nothing
Moving as a bother
A one-dimensional why
Before your prisoner’s eyes
Why have thee this lot
Why a circumstance
Why nuisance
A test
Bigger
What Holy adhesive
Bound there
And how dare it have
Yet failed elsewhere
What roses perfumed
Her walk
And hued tint reflected,
Affected his vision
Bigger it is
Their world
And their treasures, their eyes
In proper places
