Marshmallow soft-roasted
honey dew drops
fall from the
belly of the sky
deep within the depths of the one thing
we all
share
a great release is
brewing
let it rain let
it rain

Every now
and then
a
weathered soul
crawls up
from the crevice of the earth
slimy
and
old
ready for the others to see
with profound message  
just jaded enough
for there to be light
in his words

I've forgotten
so
many faces and
even more names
just to say
we're all the same
whether we like it
or not
we're gonna get a knife stabbed
deep
within our being in the
darkest
recesses of our
nether
regions
we will come face to face
with the void
and
understand that
the fraught
the nothing
was everything all along

Life is in the air
and
so too everywhere
weather you choose
or not
to see it
life will surely be there
it's also in your hair
present at the fair
it's stuck in traffic on the interstate
and cleaning dinnerware

it's living solemnly
or
free without a care

Mother always told me
to be
Patient
I sit here surrounded
by these Hospital walls,
sick and
deathly
all around me
I'm sorry to say that
I'm the only
one
who remembered to smile

A boy woke up
And was alive
He died the next day
True story

Don't act
like you love me
when my face
turns
for half a millisecond
I hear thick
whispers
chanting, the
darkest curses tossed
at my name
these lovely ears of mine
these beautiful sound nets
capture
your dark melodies
fine,
just fine thank you
Don't act
like you love me
