emancipation
we're fighting for your freedom
so...you can't wear that
nerves
your reassurance
oh god, how should I take this?
certain destruction
jolt
hammer to the skull
crushed and oppressed by a name
riven avoidance
incantation #2
Uncrossed psyche
take the key now.
Loose your bonds and
make your break.
Know the truth your
captor shrouded.
Reason stings you
wide awake.
Get up from your
hands and knees now.
Feel the weight that's
off your mind.
Rise and walk with
resolution.
Seek what's really
there to find.
thoughtcrime
inquisitive fool
plumbing the depths of taboo
I should have assumed
judas
needful blasphemy
compulsion by god's own hand
rewarded with hell
the last mile
highway unfolding
time lags to infinity
where home should have been
scavengers
gracefully circling
lofty birds swoop down to feed
half a dead possum
traffic
bustling Austin
so full of places to see
you'll never get there
linus
charity blanket
meant to soothe a child's ailment
hope it's not migraine
incantation
Dream with me,
and feel me dreaming with you.
Think of me,
each dawn when your mind is new.
Love with me,
ere your heart is like a stone.
Stay with me,
so you won't be left alone.
Rest with me,
when you're weary from this strife.
Come with me,
and we'll run to save your life.
Hide with me,
careful not to make a sound.
Trust in me,
and we never will be found.
ozymandias
mightily he reigned
chin high with voice commanding
he crawls and I weep
this is 40
she's waited, too late
that dress is a little young
you look so tired
that is 40
life's just beginning
a man like you in his prime
come, meet the ladies
ordinary
hemorrhage stricken
aching, foul and disgruntled
ordinary time
insight
trite celebration
trumpeting hallelujah
my stomach contracts
zen
breathing and driving
thoughts lapsing time and again
breathing and driving
deLuxe
creme de violette
fine macaroni and cheese
8 foot bed, all mine
awake
such comfort and ease
surreality so right
the dreamer awakes
repulsion
fearless champion
noticing her from afar
scales walls to escape
