man of the house
king of composure, 
cleanliness,

Charity backfired or
minimal return. 

All above or none
at all.

thoughtful disposer,
I keep a clean cage.

Like a sunrise
after too much coffee.

When the hangover is
gone or while it's
punching you in the face.

my eyes are protected
because this poem is about

sunrise,
and I am of punctual nature,

a disinfectant, or a
procedure that must occur.

An option to defer,
a referee and an ounce of hurt,
yet a comfortable situation.

I never want to get burnt again.
White doves no desire for them

if they cost too
much or manipulate economy.

Beg my pardon, I am
stressed and mean no harm.

Twist my arm I fold when I fold
and right now I am holding on.

what cure can be found in a
band-aid but to slowly heal,
be it a small enough wound.

A large disaster,
a surgical mind,
a black hat, perhaps?

a hero and a villain
that is what I am, a man—

Medication.

Happy times
Important ways

Home cooking
frantic banter

Drinks
poured in cups

Cigarettes in
Mouths

Strange bonds
Peculiar faces

Deja vu
Scented paths

Vibrant
metropolis

Hollywood
Superstars

Too far
Incoherent

Incognito
What's a burrito?

Funny
Good times

Important

AydanL Jul 2023
On the last day
of the calendar week

the quiet folk sit
at the edge of shore
watching sun set.

Day and night
meeting in the middle,
(together a short while)

ships hardening
into black silhouettes.

Darkness spreads—
sights now set on
greeting the streets,

following me back,
among
evening cheer,

deteriorating into late-night
glimpses at mediocre peace.

— The End —
