a ghost child haunts my body.

possessing a dead man.

singing through
skeleton-beak
and
hollow eye-sockets
he floats
on
bone-wings

circling death

and i watch.

the field around me wilts
the crust in the corners
of the spectators mouths
turn to stone
and break.

flesh leaves bone
all that is left is
decorating the past.
Jackie come sit with me
I have been waiting so long.
Come hold hands with me
Then I’ll know nothing is wrong.
I will try to do better this time.
Jackie please try not to be
Seethingly angry and snippy;
Completely ******* at me.

I know I should have thought
Before I laughed loud like I did.
Now I wish I had closed my mouth
And had gone someplace and hid.
But, can’t you see that sometimes
Not laughing is quite a hurdle?
Especially the way you look when
You wiggle into your old girdle.

I’ve told you many times before
I prefer your body without one.
But you insist on wearing the thing
And won’t quit until you are done.
So, that’s all fine and very good
If I am not in the room with you.
You insist on dressing in front of me
And you can’t claim you never knew.

Because I giggle and laugh at it
Every time because it is funny
And I can’t help myself, even though
I know your mood won’t be sunny.
Telling you I have never liked girdles
Or things like those awful ***** hose
Doesn’t seem to mean a thing to you
So, that’s just how it all goes.

Every time you put that thing on
And when I laugh you get mad.
And I am ashamed to admit it
But it’s the best time we ever had.
You wiggle and I giggle, and then
You finally get it on and glare at me.
It makes no sense that you insist
On forgetting our marital history.

DC raw love
As i keep my eye's open....
I watch society change....

Is it to the better,
or is it to the worst....

The flip side of life,
is such a drastic change....

As one dies,
one will be born...

As one cries,
one will smile....

As one hurts,
one is happy....

As one is in pain,
one is in joy....

As two marry,
two will separate.....

To the real....
To the posers...

To the rich...
To the poor....

To the healthy...
To the sick....

To the friendly....
To the lonely....

To the family....
To the homeless....

Everyone, I mean everyone,
has one thing in common...

Just look up and talk to the man....

He will never leave you....
He will never forsake you...
He will never judge you...

He will only forgive you,
and love you......
joy
here i am now: here
i am, some kind
of almost-happy,
some kind of
no-longer-sad.
perhaps it will
come back, but
i don't care anymore.
i have beaten out
sadness before. i
have outlived
disbelief, doubt,
anger, fear: i can
fight them back
all over again,
now that i know
i'm not alone.
here i am now:
here is some kind
of restless joy,
here some kind
of peace.
The music isn't loud enough
Until it rattles your ribs,
Pounds on your chest,
And echos in your heart.
I've been so caught up in love as of late,
that I guess I kinda forgot how to hate,
hate the world for taking you away,
hate you for leaving that day,
hate them for laughing at me,
hate him for being all you see,
hate me for being in love with you,
hate the words "I love you" too,
hate everything that ever was,
hate everything just because,
I miss you so ******* bad,
I don't want this pain so I'll get mad,
and fight and kick and scream and hate,
because it was too little too late.
Someone taught me how to hate, and you made me forget, but I remember now. It's easier this way
You make me dream all day
And won't let me sleep at night
Oh what is this
This is not love I know
But everything about you is just right
