My words won't load
for you
It's not that you
are that cool
it's just
just
that your expectations
should die and scream
whilst
and if you compare
someone
to your expectations

a flogging wouldn't
be out of order
do I sound
as if
someone
left me
alone

here
we did
and you
anding know except
awe these lights
Dennis Willis Oct 2022
Here I am
alone
with an echo
that takes
my stare
reverbs
on fingertips
as if the night
cooled here

left me cold
machine
of time
am I a shard
or the elegant
shape still spun
'gainst your blade

hardness moh harder
and a shaving
denied by  whiskers
shrieking as they
are scalped
'gain and I'm home
bleeding one-handed
watched by tomorrow

I'm having feelings
again
don't know what to do
with them
hence poetry an'
rhythm
drinking cabernet
amen
Dennis Willis Oct 2022
In what direction should I sing
what will, your radiance, bring
now
this sun who in a pique shade
shutters herself from my serenade
Dennis Willis Sep 2022
I'm writing back
in response to your
imaginary inquiry
it was a reality I
didn't expect come
loudly and harshly
onto me and I didn't
I just didn't even
"major tom to ground
control" twist some
**** now screeching
just to see your ******
Dennis Willis Sep 2022
I'm back
in this Oh'etry
space
eyes closed
mind down
in my spine
pawing at
Dennis Willis Sep 2022
I wanted to find something
I hadn't written yet
and you hadn't
stopped reading
as if a new sentence
wasn't an internment
of much thinking
after much thinking
perhap seed within earth
