“I am gone.”, she said,
shimmered and faded
“I am gone.”, she said,
then winked away.

Walking Dead

Every time I raise my mask
I see monsters.
I’d rather play the zombie,
camouflaged, walking dead.

the absence of a mirror.
Truth free of projection
is eloquent and clear.

Another Time

Time’s relevance, finite:
no river,
but chain;
Eventful reactions,
each ending
the same.

Unresolved

(Tweeted 2.20.2014)
God-fucked and flung to ground,
Groping without grasp;
Clinging to the specter
of divine deliverance.

Let loose the snake.
Condemned to everlasting
for a bite he knew we’d take.

Sisyphus

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

Studied in storied academe,
hallowed to entice
in prolix eruditions
though one word would suffice.
