Filmore Townsend
and the sweat lingers with a
thin film of dust, dirt, mold --
whichever what have you.
what little hydration left of
this soft fleshy vessel seeps
through this veil. creating
rivers of mud that flood the
eyes and blind. though hue
of general existence if silh-
outted. and we follow the sou-
nds hoped spoke on the proper
path. shambling the brush,
ankles caught tight in the
thorns of the undergrowth.
never a first in leaving a
blooded footpath home. and
false words call us upon a
path in Life long returned to
Nature from man. and with blin-
ded eyes and gnarled sense,
trouncing the threshold of door
long closed, fearing only the
chance of having all ended.
the Ocean's desert is nothing
but the sweat of Man's ages'
turned to dust. ended of a
vessel when purpose has seen
fulfillment. to nurture, and
bring forth perpetuation of the
curious disappeared mysteries
resting unburdened, with ponde-
ring left nulled. and recreation,
re-mythologizing aeons not long
past. only a couple thousand
since the last hoarfrost blast.

a miscarriage
a road to nowhere
an ******
a hybrid
a chance missed
a tarantula's kiss

everything's lost
a sea of critique
a man chained in front of the mirror
a priest reciting an unending bible
everything's lost
because perfection is the goal
and failure is the only hope.
just lay in bed a while
and breathe
take in the literature beside you
take in the blackness outside
and the pitter patter of the constant rain

count in fours
one
two
three-
you get the picture
keep that up

i beg for the vent to come on again
to fill my ears with white noise
to cancel out the movies in my eyes
daring me not to close them

I hate the dreams I have of us
Of that far day, when we had trust.
The day where you held my hand
Where you pledged you'd understand.
You said you'd never leave...
then why now do I grieve....?
I will not be tossed around
then thrown upon the ground...
I will rise up and move on
you won't know until I'm gone...
