guy scutellaro
she walks prospect avenue in the rain.
dead eyes, sore feet
the flowers have wilted into
the shadows of acceptance.

she finds the corner
and the last light lit,
wants a match for her cigarette.

a ****** that has found her god.
a needle and a bed of thorns.


the beep from a car's horn,
so a customer waits,
swings open a rusty gate.

and when that door

slams

shut

the prisoner of light asks,

"where have all the flowers gone?

traces of being
synergy in the mist
of creations' breath...
multitudes croaking so loudly
drowning in eventide dew,

all the wind's timbre
is hushed;

overcome
by earth’s
communing symphony,
creations’ living
pulsing thrum..

alone in a crowd
proclaiming
the glory of now...

whelmed,
and i wishing
i were a frog,
and unalone
in the throng

maybe
such evolution
   as this—
   is reversing...
    Ouroboros    

touched wondrously
by spoken wind,
urgently
i need to search
for an intimate kiss

metamorphosis,
another incarnation

that will turn me
   back into a frog—

a speck of stardust
in a sky full of stars
seems better than
feeling like stardrift
ashes

a burned out candle
muted
by the gypsy choir

the call of the wild
sung in the wind




wild is the wind
©  march ― 2016

Note:   From the 1st days of spring  2016;
listening — hearing,   somethings don't change
just came in from a windy evening walk,
with a whelming sense of Déjà vu

note:   The Ouroboros often symbolize self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things such as the phoenix which operate in cycles that begin anew as soon as they end

You are the reason I'm still hangin' on
You are the reason my head is still above water
And if I could I'd get you the moon
I'd give it to you
And if Death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you

Her:
She recalled the burning heat
Seeping off their foreheads
Pressed together, consoling the other
As she whimpered “Are we okay?”
Brought to knees on a battlefield
Of shattered hearts and
Desecrated morals built in hope

Him:
He memorized the details of her face
Pale stricken with beautiful streaks of dirt
Ragged and tired from the many battles
Driven off the endless battle waves of
Angels and demons in the pursuit of love
His soft breaking whisper
“Let’s just see if we can survive tonight.”

They both hoped they’d make it out alive.
I’m not sure I like the title

NEARING AN END

When it's finally over
Despite some new big bang
Desensitized to algorithms
I'll still be writing
Passionately in vain

The Poetic pen
Can never ceases
The heart that feels
The eyes that bleed

I will always share
My love with you
My misery
My shocking truths

Vibration within a listening ear
My voice is but a breath of air
Caught within the winds of change
Nearing the end of sound's domain
.....
