I close my eyes
and breathe these dreams
of us
I feel your touch
your fire
I hear the echoes
of your whispers
your caress
your virtuosity
your sublimity
your promise
to take me there

It came as voltage
Bursting inside my shoulder
Creeping weakness
Atrophy stick arm
grasping hand
Now skeletal slithers out
Brachial neuropathy
Every arm brace ever made
Pain and depression mate
Ball and chain metal cloud
Dragging you to
A room where you are a
Spectale antithesis
They build the pyre anonymously
Even as the skin of Tlaloc
Flays its rain and whips its brightness
Into white and blue ribbons
They are not afraid of tempests
Only conscious of costs and timesheets
The price of milk excites them
For they can triple it
By adding water

News has mass
It might even have volume
And therefore
Density
Like depleated uranium
Denser than lead
Armor piercing
Contaminating the countryside
With toxic heavy metal
Leaving a legacy
Sleeker than the river, the ducks in the inlet
Black commas upon water
A pinhole of gold for each eye

Stinking thinking
Thought patterns
Swirling swirling
Silent neurological tornado
So calming
A warm stone
To cradle
Inappropriate response
Passive acceptance
Powerless to act
Incapacitated by trepidation
Auto hobbled
Easier to escape
The La Brea tar pits
Stress balls are an oxymoron
Lifeless jelly until squeezed and torn
Hurled in anger against cubicle walls
Returning to shape but the psychic toll
Remembered to its marshmallow core

Yes,
At times,
I'm needy
Without shame.
Vulnerability
Should NOT
Hold blame.
So meet my needs
Only
If you can,
But don't
Pretend
You're the better man.
Standing on the bridge
A giddiness overwhelms
My thoughts do propel
Out over the edge
Into another realm
Feeling quite compelled
To take the leap of faith
But my body does rebel
Freedom is withheld

Why is my chili dog pastel
A vegan mushroom version
Perhaps made of morels
Baby blue, pink, pale green
It really is a hard sell
I’m all for healthy options
But I’m afraid it will foretell
A nasty end to my day
Perhaps a pastel death knell

Once part of a group
Now a singularity
It seemed so alone
In absolute solitary
I had to act fast
In complete certainty
With a rabid fervor
Destroy its lone misery
Now with the others
I ate the last cookie

what about today?
