familiar ground beneath our feet.
I hear a couple speak a prelude
and pass a smile wondering if they know.

Loss Assuredly
These things I know:
I was born in fear
and will die in ignorance.
The rest is a blur of sensations,
hunger mostly,
love maybe,
loss assuredly.
Clockwork
(tweeted 3.27.14)
Teeth bite and each gear’s turn
sets hands to motion,
ticking off the hours of the day.
Aftermath
(Tweeted 3.25.14)
Empty soldier, empty gun
Dragged through the aftermath of battle
Towards a white rose in the distance
Fading…
Experts
(tweeted 3.24.2014)
While experts in nothing
were jousting with words
the wind whispered something
and nobody heard.
Old Charlie
(tweeted 3.20.2014)
Cold steel conveyance
Alive on iron rails
Take me home Old Charlie
Take me home
Oliver

No Twisted Oliver
I stole into camp
feigning fealty
corrupting thieves.
Promises
(tweeted 3.9.2014)
I’ll not destroy them all but some
I’ll set aside and send a Son
whose body they’ll be damned to break;
in blood I’ll bid them to partake.
Library
(tweeted 3.6.2014)
Through rows of facing backstrips
My fingers trace monuments
rigid and spine’d,
touching the untouchable
I am haunted and moved.
Learning

Bested in thought by a stranger, I asked him to share.
