something you can't deny
and I can't destroy
and I didn't know what to do with

so I it dropped off

McKinley Feb 2015

Had to make my head a windshield wiper
so I'd always give side to side
disdained answers
to all them head turners,
whiskey drinkers,
and no-good smooth-talking hounds.
Some 'er **** strays
throw their bone once
find that they'll never go away.
Then.. there's that rare finding
that takes all you've earned for what you hope is a keeping
and once it's too late you discover what you've been missing.
Turns out the best four legs are the best at leaving.
So by throwin' the towel in with all I've got
like a last second shot,
I win whether made or not.

Hubris

I will not meddle in human affairs; there are other godlike matters at my attention that I care more for.

give me couple of your minutes sir n' find um' well spent.

how 'bout me showin' you back to my place
take you there and put you under.
and everything that goes
heaven knows

afternoon thoughts that hopefully will expand

the further i walk on
the farther i get from
getting over
the things I've left behind me.

Least I got a meal

Tonight's dinner is served with too much talk-
not enough truth-
but expect it to arrive shortly
just after Miss curiosity bites off more than she can chew;
the disloyal saint, just as long as his meal is finished,
will not to care to feed her a lie

then after the candor comes the check.

To Apollo

An angel of slumber
laying at my side
The sight:
gentle and even breaths
like witnessing a cardiac monitor and a sunrise at the same time.

Sleeping into the afternoon..
But my day must began at some point
And the strongest thing I must do today is the first thing I must do after I wake
I must get out of the spot that I'm in.

I'll absorb as much of you in before the act,
I'll not be soon enough,
I'll wake you.

I'll stay
and when the day begins again

I'll put in another effort.
