to heart

November 9, 2010

Everytime I look around,
another brother falling down;
i just try to raise them up,
tell them i can be like them
or i can be like Him and
keep pressing on, despite
the world; I know the way
they hold onto Earthly things,
and all I have to say
is good luck with that–
I depend on Him, rise with Him,
fall with Him, belong with Him,
live for Him, give to Him
all the time I can/and more.
it’s not about who’s written
this, just who’s taken it to
heart and lived through eyes of His.

Cat’s tail

October 31, 2010

Sunlight dances in waves,
Like a cat’s tail,
On the arm of our sofa.

disco ball

Ey, like a disco ball I got t(a) keep spinning
To keep my image fresh; oldest trick
Not written: Change to maintain relevance

Vegas

Vegas is a perfectly imagined sign with one bulb not lighting.

Life

October 9, 2010

To start a sentence about one’s own life means you’re, at least, living.

Who I Am

October 9, 2010

I stand,
Sit,
Am laying/
Hovering here in a landscape devoid of all
I know may exist;
Tall, wide, narrow, deep–
I do not know these, nor
More than myself,
If even who I am.

Asphalt, like captured rain

September 4, 2010

Asphalt, like captured rain, flows by our dry car
; so many possibilities, I wish we’d turn around
, re-calculate this route to find our own way ho-
me. Maybe next time, again. Again? Yeah.

fingers’ tips

August 14, 2010

The grooves of her fingers’
tips hold me, immobile.

Tonight

July 18, 2010

So, my battery’s dying,
My wife is sleeping,
Daddy’s Lucki Girl
Nestled side-to-couch,
And M’Boy Jack sits
Amongst the bins;
I’m happily typing away
For you to see one night
In a life a little ordinary.

to the stream

July 18, 2010

I walked along
Hoping to be able
To throw my arms
Forward ‘to the stream;
And I dived right in.
