Upon listening to Bach
I lament but also
wonder wondering about why
but more importantly what
what if anything will
come should someone too
Somewhere in Bach’s melodies
I find comfort somewhere
between the violins and
cellos I find breath
deep sighs and regret
taking me back to
when followed by what
and eventually facing why
Bach helps me heal
wounds long ago scabbed
and now just scarred

Morning
Morning is a magical
time for me when
people and ghosts rest
it is eerily quiet
serene and peaceful before
everyone awakens and turns
calm into selfish scurrying
pursuit a great time
of intimacy and exposure
when all of us
whether lion or mouse
stirs moves and ambles
shaking off the dust
of our dreams before
Desire
I’m not exactly sure
which comes first the
shiver or the touch
for a shiver only
occurs when the touch
is desired oh sure
goosebumps occur after but
the hope sets up
the touch just like
the listening sets up
the joke and hunger
sets up the eating
shivers happen after desire
Happy
And then just when
when I thought never
never again will I
I ever meet someone
someone came into my
my life and made
made my life different
different and better so
I let him and
and I was happy
happy again happy happy
HappyParable
I once knew someone
who was convinced that
his soul had been
saved from eternal damnation
by making this pact
with the overlord of
darkness You must make
everyone else that you
ever will meet happy
knowing that whatever you
do or they do
for you you shall
never enjoy the same
What’s the difference then
between your hell and
what you’re offering me
Because what I’m offering
you you’ve already lived
which brought you here
Does this sound familiar
