pillars of creation

prior to the change
it is essential to
shift into neutral

disagreeable thoughts
must be cleared out
absent presence
of all sour signals

turn off any
receptors receiving
incoming influences
of any kind

it is important
not to carry any
hidden nuggets
of negativity
affecting the
outcome

sleeping soundly
a catnap quiet
soothed the
transition

as water floats
and flows
so the mind began
to drift
in a sea
of vagueness

particles parting
feelings floating
memories meshed
forever changed

snow white’s steak a poivre

blissfully imperfect, dinner continued to cook slowly. wearing a perfectly exiguous apple red dress i told the questionably gifted mirror to keep the thoughtless cynical comments to himself. turning my back, his reply a silly safe snicker he thoroughly enjoyed. rather than continue i searched in silence for the way out of a strange celestial conversation. propelled forward on a waterless flood, i placed my rushing heart on the sleeveless red dress and let the waterfall of love answer the arid waiting door.

fracture

 

with an awkward wind
the earth turned
a fatal turn
uninterrupted
eternal spin
bumped by a breeze
damp with mold
corrupted minds
skeptics smiled
at the success
of failure

resuscitation

impaled to the notice of freedom she began counting consequences on the trellis of forgotten fertile dreams. the appearance of her smiling face showed no reflection of the interior defect stained clean on the white laundry of her freshly washed life as a resurrected youngster.

Unquiet

it’s all there
page after page
phantom photo album

wrapped in
simple brown paper
delivered by the
post office

cracked broken window
gaze upon pages
dusty timeworn folder
lost paper memories

my grandfather’s face
eerily stares back
with a familiar expression
