Hotdish


I am afraid one of you

Will leave Battle Earth

Before me

My little heart

A lemon

Woe

Thoughts of abandoning 

Either

To carry me 

Empty 

Through onions

To the lake

Divot 

Precious moss

Whoa

I sit here

I am a cat lounging

Waiting on laundry

Saying to myself

I refuse to put everything 

Into the casserole

Checkerboard Kalaidescope Floor

Alexa, "play Spa music" 
Reminiscent of "Twin Peaks" 
Replay 
Our life documentented by pop culture 
Off-key
Even this
Too
Crumbled into a Ghost Town
Wow
How 
I close my eyes
Stage curtain
I feel 
Cool air off painted concrete
Envelops my essence in
Grave yard
Fog
Sadness hug
Well
Memory of not one
But many moments
Rolled up in my blanket
After watching 
Time 
From my spot on the floor

Funeral Analog


Attunement to the red line
Invisible ice to ice umbilical 
Fervent Songs language lost
Halts emptiness' severance attempts 

Snow wears death's old stain 
Visible from satellite 
Silence silenced by 
Cracks and groans
Traveling via pockets
Of Wind's coat 

Fire consume what time did not destroy
Sacred ceremony
Chanting virtuous wishes 
Laying memories captured in flat image
Onto blue and golden flickers gently lit

Northern Plains

Northern Plains

I see all your pain
When I left it there
Embedded in roots 
Of your blessed tree

You can't talk to me like that
The moon bleaches everything
Broken clean again

Morning heat wakens
Breeze from far away
Wind born from the plain
Before merchants came
