no reason to yearn
for the past
gone

hoping for better
in the time yet to come

Live strong
Live fast
Live hard

and let go
is there ever "the end"
A marker for you
A sort of IOU

Unpaid debt grows
An unmanageable monster
A tumor of sorts
Pockets turned inside-out
Only ever empty
Barren and brazen
You, always hungry for more
Me, starving for your cause

Wanting
Wanton
Watching
Waiting

Too many a thieves in the night

Stealing
Stalking
Skulking
Snatching

I'm paid in full
*Too bad I lost my *** on a scam (or two)
Your absence
makes
my heart
grow fonder
:-)  thank you
baby blues

(3 pairs)

and oblivion
as I returned from the grocery store
tonight
I thought I saw you
that impossible to miss enormous ***
treading downhill
with a man's haircut
happily
or not
I was mistaken
I love the idea of certain people left out in the cold.....where they belong. I'm sure it has come to feel like home.
Lid secured
Every edge and surface pierced with the
iron spikes of varying gauges-

car
bed
home
town
old
towns
forest lake
host
every bar and grill
(within a 300 mile radius)
work
tents and air beds
split rock
otter tails
snow trails
Tobie's town
mini apples
silver ware
white gold Möbius strip
wedding presence
and presents
that long stretch of highway you still travel
everyday
brothers
friends (perhaps)
music
words in verse from your fingers
and spoken (broken)
Time lost to your treasures that revealed themselves to be
trash

-now rusting in place
cradling the remains of what never should have been
You came to me an empty shell. Or so you said. Your mask, your fake, your facade insidious with disregard. Take me take me take my broken spirit.....such an easy target....Kitchen Radio providing the soundtrack for the beginning of the end.  The end of chances to be the center of someone's universe. Mr. Kirby and Ralph can attest: I was just a target....a country to be conquered.  No war torn ruins for you to lord over. The only kingdom you rule is regret.  Shine on with your patina of tarnished deeds. Let your isolation feed your lonliness..... so desperately sad that no heart is safe from your wrath. Blow upon blow-your words and silence each a fist for your fix. Your love a poison without cure......like Midas with no use for gold.
