vitriol is coursing through my bloodstream
bearing a disdain for those whove earned a raw deal.
posit yourself as a detractor of thieves and of scoundrels
because we all need a scapegoat.
tendrils empathetic form my dissention
to open up a discourse though confluence is anguish
dissonance; i am grey in a world full of color.
i dissipate, break apart then fade away.
running rampant, left gutted the serpent envelopes its captive
a plague of snakes for a faltering state
divide and delegate
take them down another peg
forfeit the rights of man
cast out, i learn
unfettered by will
i've not come to terms with such hatred distilled
why are we compelled to defend our white privelege?

in hospice your sister's revolting
is she scraping the dirt from her nails?
a conversation wavers tangential
line up your woes in their respective hierarchy
in hospice your sister's revolting
as you bemoan the passing of time
in such a climate what are you resolving?
line up your woes let them rot in neglect
reaching upward toward some lightness,
a witness, a fiction, your fixed on
there's nothing efficient in such yearning
a long year, two bad lungs, concluded
prayer requests fall on deaf ears
i'd sooner cast stones in a wishing well

retrospect augments all of my memories
memory augments how we interact
your eyelids they hung
as a bed sheet in morning
do you toss and turn?
is life too foreboding?
your fall from grace
is not my concern
a crease in your face
the help that you spurned
i won't build you up
to destroy
and rebuild over&over again
i'll mark the page,
burn the book,
carry on ignoring all your questions

photographed at the lip of a canyon,
at home where i sleep its a wasteland
he who appeases the precipice mars the silhouette of the scenery
if they cut down the pines in the backyard,
will nothing resound in the distance?
am i to blame for the faults of my peers,
if i just sit back in silence?

a reluctance to acknowledge a situation
feeling like theres no true say in a delegation
feet are shackled, hands are bound
i drowned in a dream and things were never the same
now this mountain is a barrier
no way out, but still its calling

still water freezes but offers no relief of the reflection staring back at me.
all dead all gone so lead me to the pyre
the feast is over and the lights expire
a cistern that runneth over with clear yet tainted water, deceiving its drinkers, leaves stones in the heart of man
a specter im tethered to is guiding me into the void headlong in the name of trust
so i buried my mistakes under a mound of reclaimed dirt,
in the backyard, adjacent to the willow, where it's leaves collect on the earth
this eternity churns electric, this light flickers, this thought fades
which animosities inside my body will i carry to the grave?
(how long can you be someone you're not?)
i can't tell you what's shaping my ghost,
maybe it's the trembling in your hands
