– Ian Anderson – Bungle in the Jungle

God placed the apple in Eden knowing;
Let loose the snake.
Condemned to everlasting
for a bite he knew we’d take.

Sisyphus
(tweeted 02.16.2014)
I am a monster of my own making;
molded to the mask,
collecting quarters for the carousel,
dying to get off.

hallowed to entice
in prolix eruditions
though one word would suffice.

Ghost God of the dying promise,
Distant tyrant:
Take this my body that is broken by you
and forgive me trespass into shadows of doubt.
Without a Trace
(tweeted 02/10/2014)
Black stand on a white field frozen
Distant Sol mocks promise unfulfilled.
Crystal fallen jests reflected
Reject booted traveler and trace.

(tweeted 02/06/2014)

Definition of a Poem
(Tweeted 02/04/2014)
A poem is a thought
overlooked,
then overwrought.
Drawing a Blank

Harnessed, harvested,
taken in hand:
Atoms, apples,
fauna, and forest
defy comprehension
submit to command.
