Miles Awake
Miles of the Stones,
Shadows of Shapes,
Show Path for Dawns,
Where Sunlight shakes

Twilight Denials,
Anguish of Nights:
Numbering Dials’s
Seemingly right!..

Seeming is lying –
Lying’s a Look
Into Denying,
Made by a Crook,

Into Oblivion
Doing in Rush:
In all that limping and
Wavering Lush,

Rages of Robberies,
Probing of Pride,
Cages for throbbing Grease,
Call to decide  

What will be moving next, –
Doing to make;
Now, where Decision rests,
Learn – and awake!..

when I told my therapist that I felt lonely,
she said in response that
she didn’t want to belittle my experience
and I only half-heartedly believed her
when she told me that we all feel lonely,

but darlin’ I know you’re so lonely.

I watch the city burn
Through the vignette windows
Of tear-gassed souls.

And hell's fire ablaze
Between cracks of tears
Of childhood fears

Hello there
familiar stranger...

Between the waking hours
and persistent unsleep,

you’re still
as much as the chaos
in my head then
as you are now.

Stay true to your inner child
The only one you’ll die with.

Don’t make a spider web
to become trapped in it yourself.
