Refusing to Awake
JML Marschalk Jul 2016
Given the fact of no words.....
The reality of my UN-exhistance, tell

You what......
Music!
And refusing to awake!

JML Marschalk Dec 2015
The late morning dreams
are the worst.

Gaol of a sort

                Of Every sort.
          To look

           and try to speak.

And failure...

          Then it's Noon.

Footnote
JML Marschalk Nov 2015
Or an addendum.

An explanation for a statement
true?

A quotation that declares a definition
for something
new.

I want an answer.

I want an explanation.

Perspective
JML Marschalk Nov 2015
When you fall asleep you are never

Where you are when you
Wake up.
    
    The speed that your bed
travels in a second might keep
You awake.

       It feels like standing still.
A nothing wind or mistral.

       Then it doesn't.

And it's hard to stop.

That Wind
JML Marschalk Oct 2015
I blew through years,
      And watched others die.
Slowed down, came back
      Still the same demise.

Reach back, find a
      Place to hide.
That wind
         will hold you to your word.

...that wind

This Wind
JML Marschalk Oct 2015
Brought a scent.
Calliope and rapeseed;
     a choir inhaled
and then
     indeed
               Expelled!
(your blessing)

               Bitte!
I had a sneezing fit today.

Scratch Pad
JML Marschalk Oct 2015
In a line we write
    A lie
That defines what we say.

Within that rule
    A truth acrules
So, shut up and go away.

Lick
JML Marschalk Jul 2015
An articulation the tongue
Extends along the spine.

It's nothing
Just a tracing of some lines
that go up and down.

it's everything.

  The fragrance and the chorus and the Every Thing else.

Red Feet
JML Marschalk Apr 2014
Walking my feet red

Beet red dia

worst?

Feet red.
        Numb a burn or dead?

JML Marschalk Mar 2014
Less than this,
      A year,
      Is more less then nothing.

Less for you.
More for us.

        and you...
