Urgent
I want
to lift you up,
drive you into the wall,
and take you hard and fast and with
gusto.

Heritage
Words are
a legacy
for our children and theirs
so that they do not repeat our
mistakes.
Blackout
More beer!
Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!
I want to drink until
I can’t even remember my
own name.
Ascent
Ripple
through the deep dark,
rise towards the heavens, and
grasp the moon, the stars, and even
your dreams.
Fragrant sidewalk
It is
one blazing hot,
humid motherfucker
of an egg-cooking summer day.
Goddamn.
The descending path of self ascension
Plummet
and find your way
in the scattered fragments
of ego, passion, and truth in
yourself.
Magnanimity
Grace is
a kind gesture
when there is little need,
little gain, and monumental
impact.
The echoes of a pale room
Lonesome…
The empty room,
the phone that never rings,
the frigid bed waiting each night…
Lonesome…
Wondering just who gives a damn,
or if they ever did,
or ever will…
Lonesome…
Farewell
Dear friend,
we’ve had a time.
I wish you the best with
your next endeavors. Godspeed and
goodbye.
Babel
White noise,
conversations –
it’s all the same to me:
a frustrating distraction from
focus.
