#fugitive
~
*Strapped to the catapult
I sportively plan my escape
By listening to pictures
In stereo
Of the flight
Of a fitful fugitive
Who sculpted depressions in ice
Throughout the flowerbed
Where there is no true sunlight
Only its influence
And by inhaling this fragility
Onto glass
Lowering the thermostat
Like a guillotine
Until hypothermia
Took his oppressors
This coldness might well
Be everlasting
But then, so is the will to survive*

A Fugitive in His Haunted Night
A police car parked in front of the house
They say there’s a fugitive in the woods
Bailed out of his truck on a county road
Abandoning his girlfriend to be nabbed
Well, poor man, he’s lost his truck and his girl
And gained mosquitoes, snakes, coyotes, heat
A fading MePhone signal, rain, rot, mud
And another three years in a white cotton suit
Why?
Perhaps, like many another poor soul
He lost his way while searching for elusive Truth

thoughts are the songs of the mind
only myself may hear,
louder than laughter
audible as low-toned whispers.
sanctuary of the fugitive heart
when all else has failed
or fled like rats
from a sinking ship.
untold secret of an heir
which seldom finds a confidant
if only not uttered in sleep.
unbreaking lance of the errant
with sinews rare
as his hands are bare.
thoughts rare.
thoughts *******
thoughts prodigious.
thoughts uninvited.
father of action
son of an idle cloud.
bereave me of my lance
my secret
my sanctuary
my song;
and oh…
how naked
i shall be!
