I listen to classical
music when I write
because to me both
genres exist in harmony
just like eyes and
lips for music like
eyes invite us closer
lips breathe out breath
just like words do
Month: August 2023
Dullsville
Yesterday was bad
today is worse
I need angst
I need heart
pain whether it’s
ache or break
I need something
anything that will
break the spell
of living here
in quiet Dullsville
Icks
My mind is everywhere
it took its flight
the moment I awakened
dashing to that corner
looking out the window
running to the kitchen
like a dog hearing
something then run back
bounding onto the bed
trying to be playful
even these words aren’t
enough to tie it
down play I must
hoping that you reading
understand that sometimes my
mind needs its freedom
to shake the icks
Bed
I am a pig
I’m also a whore
I have a bed
big enough for two
yet no one ever
stays they always go
maybe it’s the bed
I can’t believe that
it’s ever been me
my bed is mine
that’s all they see
it’s a barnyard here
everybody out for themselves
Sometimes
Sometimes I wish
sometimes I wonder
but mostly I
hope things different
sometimes I love
sometimes I hate
but mostly I
hope someone stays
sometimes I dream
sometimes I cower
but mostly I
hope things change
sometimes I wish
sometimes I love
sometimes I dream
sometimes I do
