Notes Taken
For Her*

There is a golden flower to my right. The bee scales it against the stumbling breeze. It is the train tracks that rust over it in the September daylights. A cut on my finger from the ice. Everyone around me knows that I’m scared out of my mind of what’s out there and what’s to come.

Such bees are too young to know that I am the metallic smell of a ****** nose. Hair on my arm is the wild grass. She was there. As always, like a schizophrenic ghost. I am at a loss for words. “Keep at it,” the bee said. But I found it hard to exhale.

She, who is the one who writes this poem. I can fill the dreams up with my sky and the sky up with my dreams. The ringing in my head has subsided. I am content with it. Her is who it is and always will be. That is all.

Dead Man's Hymn
It was the grinding of metal
that echoed from my ear
from then on I knew,
darkness was so very near

Awoke in a hard white room
to the eyes filled with gloom
these people, they loomed.
Am I forever doomed?

This room of white
it’s so dark, yet so bright
please doctor, oh doctor
am I alright?

The doctor had no sound
The world had no sound

The hell hounds were bound
Death is always around.

Note To Self
You have to be optimistic
when dealing with depression.
And I know it hurts more than
anything I've ever known. But
If today isn't alright, tomorrow
will be.

from the window
she was there

on the bleachers—
homecoming game

I brushed my fingers
on the glass

the window did nothing
I am mostly invisible

Listening to this structured spoken word ****

January Evening
I have walked
the somber forests.
     (Ha! It is
     he who whistles
     of  love, romance
     and lost thought)
 I was the one who had done it--
There is a gentle tide on the rock.
You understand it; the tired thing
(Life happens again, again
      and again)

To be here--
to be here is to be that handful of dust;
     i knew it
     at a time

To be here is to fetch the women
    for the summer
    dances (hear, hear)

the beach rolls
&
the sand weeps

This into out;
That before turned reborn! it stand not once into I with;
Life spit;
Here I I today my troubled.
Struggled I a shriveled.
I heart;
Reborn had something death;
Nothing is am! despise ended began.
Life world;
That grew in to;
Even has;
You life inhale.
For up into.

Eulogy
So here we all stand
at this great funeral for a friend

Do you smell the lilacs?
do they burn into your head?

Because I will tell you
What this man said,

"I am only free when I am dead.
Where are my dearest friends?
I can wait no longer."

Bullet to the head.
