They die  
I leave a ruined edge
They leave with someone else
Tectonic plates mismatched
grate life on time's most vicious rasp
Some people never find their mates
left anonymous to pages
The empty internet
all their beauty fed to air

watching others celebrate
their joys their moments

I struggle on
Alone

It's dark
Some urge is building up
TVs on background
DVD I've seen
A thousand times

Silence is death
When clothed by walls
When spider webs on plaster
Are the limbs
When carpet is your forest
Lawn

Ten thousand
Seconds or more
I take a breath
My mind hearing
My heartbeats
Boredom

Memories
I try to bend
Refresh as before
With dim
Eyes old
And sore

I need the gardens glen
The red of roses
Yellow of dawn
Her kiss
And more

I yearn to
****** her with my words
And all I do
Is sound
Forlorn

Not is the dark
My lonely
Tale
I leave you
To

Your own
Refrain

Many the circles go
     Round in perpetuity

        All the universes players
               Are why?

How sound a design
      With riddles
           Equationed

                Such as pi

Going on into eternity
          Eyes the nuclei
                 Spin

             And begin
                     It did
                         Always will

Why

             Leading to more and
                     And deeper questions
                           A circle hence
            
And one day
                 The beginning found in
                            the End

A little ditty bout Karl and DiAnne
Two old kids living in the heartland
Karl he gonna be the next Bukowski
DiAnne the beauty he loved in the backseat

******* on a bud on the porch
Dianne sitting on his lap
His hands tween her knees

C'mon Dianne let's run off
neath the shady trees
Dribble off them Bobby Brooks
Let me do
What I please

Ten cats
Two dogs singing

Oh yeah
Life goes on

Long after
All the kibble
Is gone

Karl sits back
Collects his thoughts for a moment
Thinks
With you and all
These
Animals

I ain't missing
Nothing.

Oh yeah

Life goes on
