These are poetry drafts. I consider all my poetry in a constant state of drafting, some with revision ongoing, others merely gathering dust. Some have been published but will still be considered drafts.

N.B. When these posts were imported I noticed some of my reblogs also got pulled in. It should be ovious from the contents that they are reblogs from other writers. I am in the process of removing those posts.

Nevermore

It doesn’t matter

It doesn’t matter

I let the smoke seep into all that
remained,
into the dry
dreams of
death

I let the smoke fill me
& from there
I took the stairs

to Nevermore

About Skies and Twilight

fruit fly eggs as the latest superfood!

where wet bulbs and swampmonster apps proliferate,

even vegans enjoy the seedlike pop.

as Kate seeks the first person voice, i question the singularity. how easily i become scottish. im less stoic than before. i say whats on my mind. i drink less coffee. men on ladders look in my window fixing bricks. Kate would know how all this relates to adorno or kafka. She would mention her friend ann who writes books that people buy. She would mention her dog. i read Kate and weep. this reminds me of reading Kate and weeping. I mention painpain. painpain is a quebecois rabbit whose name translates as breadbread. or down the road perhaps, sandwichsandwich.

“how easily I become scottish“ – oh, it only takes me a bottle and another half of the same, to hear inside such voices… to express utterances of likeness… Am I already damned or just drunk without knowing ?

Soon I will fade
Into darkness and the
forgotten
realm

My words will merge with others’
Our diluted truths
standing together
In the room of mirrors

Reflecting

red dwarf

A little red riding hood was your only cover,

I stood there naked in the rain

Dangling

Our lips touched briefly

Like two cats
Fighting at night, like a razor long
expired

against my puny feathers

of manhood.

My Meadow

I called her Meadow,
Overgrown and left to
Her own devices, to her
Own Piper’s calling.

I called her Meadow,
Untouched for decades
Yet still flowering,
Persistence is never futile
It seems.

I called her Meadow,
In my mind her silence
Echoed between absent
Trees, beneath stars of
Comfort living.

I called her Meadow
In my dreams

Shades of Failure

You may not know that
I share with you my inner
Being as truth be told.

You may not realise that
I share all with you
Keeping friends and family

In the shades, unknowing of
My achievements, unaware
Of my failures; ignorant of my

Essence

.

All Rise

A serpent’s call to arms 
a mother’s cry for a missing child
a onesie with floppy ears
a murder unsolicited
our truth much less beneign
our freedom here on trial

windfall from the gods

Admittedly a mistake, I left the
Patio door wide open. The
Autumnal wind still full of
Summer brought the curtains to
Life; the dance of one brought my
Mind to a halt. Baffled I sat there
Wondering, where did it all go, the
Life now hardly remembered. The
Moments lost in the forest of
Wicked witches, the blossom honey
A windfall from the gods
Undesirable.
