unspoken words
idle on anchored lips
hoping to be heard

advisor
in hopes once more
a friendly energy
money left on the table
and maybe
a way to make this work
a means of using
tyrannical reserves
to our benefit
a strong defense
take a page from change
in this case,
make it an arrangement
be willing to fail
be broken into pieces
if nothing else,
it could help ease some fears
after so long
because obviously
I’m not to your liking
that’s why
if there’s any room left
all’s well that ends well, right?
send me home
send me home
softly softly
like an ancient wind
the wound
stolen like ocean out of sand
all the jokers on the land shout, ha!
painful echo taunting disfavored faces,
diluting their last cries into the grain.
nothin’ left now but the broken shell,
and all the pretty ladies admiring
the blood as it pours out of
the wound.
song
In a silent room
a song
falls
from his tongue,
meets her bare skin.
Now they’re humming the same tune.
misplaced
A misplaced kiss,
somewhere on the wind.
Her lips, waiting.
a matter-of-fact
dreamer of heartache
“she’s mad,” they whisper
“that’s love,” she shrugs
footprints
no pen put to paper
no whisper of a farewell
no regret
only footprints
dragonfly
rebel dragonfly
on the wrong side of the road
cheers from the sidelines
sweet tea
sweet tea
for a hollow morning
grey skies
