No trees around,
But there are leaves in the gutter
A thousand eyes in every home
& in every eye there is a storm
A Panoptic Design
Prison planet
Web net
Spider eyes glow red
Multi-layered
Multi-players
Virtual seams rip apart every dream
Virtual screams on virtual screens
Blood & circuses
Hive mind & mob body
In every crack there is a hole
& in every hole there is an eye
In every eye there is a storm
Your streets, the sky-not blind
A thousand eyes
A thousand eyes for every home
Digital trap. Don’t fight back
We wake to dream
We fight the sleep
Is there something we are missing?
5- You are alive
4-Go thru the door
3-What is your reality, really?
2-Yes, I’m talking to you!
1- Look up

Don’t look behind.
We are being followed.
Do you follow?
Do you mind?

I see you sinking in the gloom
Water eyes see you fade into deep blue
The gray ocean of my mind
I see you grow smaller & fade
But everytime pull you out again.
I think on your words,
"Whats the point?"
You bob & sway here and fro.
You once told me, In everything, there’s an ebb & flow.
Fade to black. Come back come back
But I think on your words. "Whats the point?"
There can be no touch. Our signals crossed
signals lost
You dip under murky waters.
I hesitate to reach.
The Silence was always loudest with you.
A cutting cold. My shriveled heart.
I believe your words. So whats the point?
We ignore the elephant in the room.
You dip again. Too soon too soon
Im so close to reaching you
Restrain restrain I think on your words again:
"Whats the point?"
Connection. The deep dark hole beginning to fill to feel.
The torn raw rough edges beginning to heal.
But I think on your words-"Whats the point?"
And I have no answer or promises to give.
I can only watch you drown
Why do I keep pulling you out.
I cannot save you. I have so little love to give
Even for me. . You see? You see.
And you sink completely & disappear from view
You sink I swim. Away , but back to & fro
You once told me in everything there is ebb & flow
Its like that special hell of wielding the boulder.
Why couldn't he just let go?
Our elephant ignored, our love left alone
Gathering dust turning to bone.

You and I speak only in whispers
No living out loud, no shouts
The softest fragmentary conversation
Static in the wind
Slow starts and stops
Communication lost
Please try again
Whispers
Please try again
No love or living out loud
Hugs and kisses hidden in the dark
Silent screaming
Frustration & agony
In the silent gloom, our loves grows pale like mushrooms

Drops of dampness in the dark
Fizzling out the weakest spark
Only in whispers
careful looks & timid gestures
Silent, hidden prisoners
No love or living out loud
No shouts of happiness or promises
Only silence
Hushed whispers of longing
Silent screaming
Frustration Agony
You and I speak,
But only in whispers.

You are only for my fantasies
Just for my dreams

There is no chance for us
in stark reality

Trust is the timid pet staying for breakfast
then running away

Desire, the sad, pale clouds of nostalgia

Love is the ghost moon
disappearing by noon.
No us exists by light of day.

We believe in nothing we say
My heart is heavy but doesn't ache
My heart is lonesome, but okay.

You are sweet in fantasy
By noon, I want you dead.

You are the bright oasis in a dark lonely desert.
You are the playful butterfly kissing my cheek.
You excel at pulling my heart strings,
But the social butterfly you are-
You forever flutter to flower to flower;
Petals licked and devoured.
Anything serious teeter-totters.
Anything Real topples over.
You ARE a Great Escape.
One to ride and pass over;
A brief flash and thunder.
Oh, what a Scream you are!
I want to scream.

Black clouds move swiftly
Swirling chaotic wind
Bright green flashes of light
As the storm comes in

Into my mind he dances
With pale moon face and black vapors
Hiding green flashes of lightning

A dry storm of hidden tears
A biting lip, a hug to self
All rain kept tightly in
This storm that haunts me

I hear his thunder roar
And shield my eyes from his flashing light
And hide my face from his rain; his pain

But black mists graze my cheek
And pushing wind makes me weak
I let his rhythm carry me deep
This storm that haunts me

I fear going blind meeting that green light
I fear falling from that ephemeral grasp
Losing my mind, self and reason
I can never be his, so

It’s a wet booming crash
That doesn’t last
And dry as bone
I hug myself home
Eyes wide open.
