If I were a house
I’d hand you a sledgehammer
to knock down my walls.

Truth shies on approach
You have to sneak up on it
by sitting quite still

Mankind blessed & cursed

Day shift.
I wake without my dream.
Lay down & try to go back.
A truncheon urges me on.
I cannot speak their dreamless dirge but understand that beating baton.
See others talking to the sky & tying ribbons
on tree branches.
God is here.
I've crossed over.
Dream done.

I found a corner, in the
abandoned room,
where the clocks have long since
unwound,
and where the stillness dusts
the mantel. the
walls shed, the
webs hang, the
air has settled into familiar piles..
Brian Gallagher retweeted
People are flowers
half life's spent in bed
waking for their dew.
When we feed on the seeds
of the secrets we keep
we wither our sleep
in the longing for darkness
far from the truth of the sun.
Do not be afraid
to be open as the day
to blossom as you.

Where our beloved.
To the mist in a hollow
Little droplets of dew.
Such thought creates memory,
Thus life whispers, forever.

This knot inside me
tied by time and circumstance
won’t untie itself.

I speak with a brogue
on St. Patrick’s Day which some
would say is a slur.

Before the Big Bang
when energy got antsy
it scratched its own itch
and now through our telescopes
we look back on everything.

We could all go on
forever if the cosmos
suddenly made sense
and explained itself to us
before time takes it away.

Without our fingers
we would have countless problems
and gnarly handshakes.

energy slackened limping
left behind to live.

to all the world’s exploiters
posing as victims.

we plan to keep on dancing

our hearts continue to beat
