Banished
June 16, 2008
Hopes and dreams are now banished
Wanted posters will be stapled
to every disposition
Let no one lose vigilance
these are deadly
con artists and gamblers
they grow my hunger
and abuse me
shoot them down
with a confident gaze
riddle them with projectiles
of curiosity
clean
December 18, 2007
Aging to death
again
the cleanest state
fall
October 22, 2007
You are the beauty
and inexplicable joy
that arises on these
October days
irony
October 17, 2007
Why not write of joy
and wisdom
amongst this confused mass
of ironic naysayers
hungry
October 12, 2007
The hungry ghosts
eat steak
and visit theaters
reveling in their misfortune
poor
October 11, 2007
I am led by hope
ignoring wisdom
chasing the attention of others
solidifications
October 10, 2007
All I have is my response
and even this is tainted
by a million lifetimes
of prejudice
garden
October 9, 2007
Fertilize my intuition
quiet my mind
grow my heart
a day
October 3, 2007
A day is presented again
to deliver the events
that shape my fortune
forgetful
October 2, 2007
I slip into selfishness
again to remember
my forgetfulness
a rhythm I follow
in the dark
not here
it lies in deep mornings
and long days
A slow thing
only available
in solitude
and strange depth
