Spring in the desert
Wildflowers erupt in song
A new beginning

Blind Finger Sweep I wanted 5 mins for myself So you took 20 and change I held my tongue and smiled You only added to the list What can I do? For you? The world is half assed ending And I am still on the clock Holding myself to a standard Nobody gives a shit about An antique treasure In a store no one goes to A leaded glass mirror In a house of mercury switches

Whoever once said
There's no fate but what we make
Failed history class!

Blistered My life in layers Sediment turning to rock Rings in an ancient oak Some of them match Others present in opposition Spaces Where I blistered peeled Paint in fire Times when immolation Was an answer or an affliction And I had to start again Marking the space In charcoal black The permanent Smell of smoke A barrier As much as a layer

Primary checking in All the karma I thought I had banked Seems to be overdrawn The agony of just waiting Feeling the seconds Withdrawling Seeing far enough ahead To know we are already So far behind Words and well meaning Celebrity concerts Won't break the wall I watch what's left Of my luck and my stamina Slip away, useless The moment I will need it Sliding further ahead To when I may not have it

#AcrosticApril

Forged in white heat,
Licked by burning tongues
And plunged into ice
Metal, birthed from
Embers, our greatest
Success, was flame.

Beethoven and Schubert used Goethe, Liszt - Petrarch, Debussy - Valerie, Rachmaninoff - Pushkin, etc.

Poetry and Classical music are inexplicably bonded.

Will contemplate this...

Second thought I am armed. The ammo may be A little buried In the bottom Of a closet, But I am fairly Certain I can locate the Weapon. I think it works. How old does something Need to be for Rust To be patina? Vintage violence? I guess, The point is I am armed, I think.

So that's that.
Here is a #poem...

Push/ed.. The world pushed.. The world pushes.. For all of it. And I push/ed back.. My all for it. Hands of fate, Heavy on my shoulders, Pushing. I grasp/ed at a non-existent Throat, And push/ed. But my arms have limits.. The world has none, And it pushed, And pushes, And will push, Forever. And, my elbows will shake, My elbows are shaking, My elbows shook.

Entropy is always threatening, we don't get to give up, but we can sometimes complain about the effort to continue.

A flicker, melts the gloom of the night, A speck of shimmering light Trying hard to fight through the darkness Its only desire to part this Desolate blackness, standing alone This solo defiance is all that it's known 'Till a clone ignights in the distance A sudden, and stubborn insistence Upon resistance, so numbers grow Joining the shine, a communal glow And all of them know, they can win this As long as they're; all of them, in this Together, as one big fish in the pond And the darkness can try to respond But it's gone, drowned by the fires of Thousands of insects that fly above, Doesn't have enough strength to hold back Swarms of Adze that dare to attack And the black tyrant's defeated Every night, it's the same thing repeated Abdomens heated, bodies that burn By igniting the gasses that churn Out of them, starting to turn up the heat Its such an incredible feat For one so petite, for something so small, On its own can do nothing at all When a ball of Adze becomes Big enough it's as hot as the sun And there's nothing they can't overcome They're useless as one, but together, Together these Adze are strong!

Before this week's #PoetsOfDoom prompt swaps over, I have one more piece to share. I've been working on this pretty much all week, and... well... I think it's a rap...
It's too late to record now, but I will try and see if I can record it tomorrow.

Cats felt it moral
To lift rings from humans' homes

Was asked to recite some poetry, 'on the spot' this week.
While many memorized, I have to choose the right one; And I chose a 'good' one. Not the best, nor the worse.

Got me thinking to double down on having the appropriate 'at-hand' verse.
