#leak
Dark skies spill on me like black ink To much to speak To much to keep There is no swim Only sink Stuck in the undertow Of shiit creek Can't plug the leak No avoiding the brink That comes in a blink Don't peak If the will is weak Or the soul is meek No hope left For what I seek My own ending Is what I greet ©2025

~•§•~ No Quick Fix ~•§•~
(seep yourself to leak away) all reveals are feints; I take you right but I am moving left, always left, then left again when I turn the faucet of me on, brown, rusty pipe water comes out, never turning clear, even if the flow went on for a millennium someone traveller passerby reads my excellent explicit illicit words, with kind sweetness observes a valid conclusion: Poems take.a lot out of you correct+wrong not take, give they are the slow seepage of my overburdening which is yes, yes, I know, all relative, but perspective is a sometime summer thing, and all the springtime streets filled with filthy frozen slush having  come from some rusty water leakage, never turning clear no matter how long the street runs away from you so you take yourself to give away, seeping and leaking ah words; so useful and so inadequate crushed petals from the Tree of Life you ask me If I have read my brother, the prophet-poet Jeremiah? *The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?* *When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight* *Then the Lord reached out his hand unto my mouth and said, "I have put my words in your mouth."* these are those words

Seepage (seep yourself to leak away)
I am ageing, It's just a number, The number of candles have increased on my birthday cake. I have got heavier, The width of my waist has increased, There are wrinkles where my smiles were, I pole dance with the safety bar in the bathtub, Every time I cough or sneeze my radiator leaks, My exhaust backfires, I tend to forget, I am not perfect, But, I don't care. I have become more compelling, I am more silent, More wiser , more smiling, With greater intuition. My mind is a fountain of  youth, I am fun, I am now background music, I am soothing My family and their friends connect to me, I fuel their soul, They feel safe. I may be an old model but my engine still runs smoothly.

I Can't Plug This Leak Any Longer
Must have been the end of a delightful dream Had my fingers around a power leak ******* up the light when I came to, loosening my grip on a can of beans 68 cents, tacos on demand counted the change pushing through my pockets and leaking through the seams In a life like this I wish it was considered decent to decide for death even with in proper company, but only sometimes.

THE WASHINGTON POST
congratulations, you are unloved; undissolved in a world you watch through glass. and once again, you are nine; in the bathroom, on that floor, as the blue tiled walls reflect, and replay over and over and over, and you wish that you never truly woke up, from the strange mix of dream and reality you succumbed to long ago, like a princess, at rest; wrapped in thorns maybe you'd never have had to pack that sleepover bag every time he made you cry, . leak even as the tv still played cartoons, snot still ran, and you still bled (and left).
