FORBIDDEN RIVERThe attempt
A wooden Bridge
No Enter
Weak Foundation
Danger and Caution
Beware
River flows
Water swim tolerance
Just avoid crossing
Courage to try
Warning to emphasize
Bridge uncertain
No hold on grasp
Cross at your own risk
Warning signs you shouldn’t miss
Danger, Warning
Find another way to the other side.

Oh, How We FellAncient howling came back to Earth
And before long more species followed
Some contested against this unnatural birth
But no one could deny it’s monetary worth
Then after a little - our world was swallowed
Even though we lacked a time machine
We ended back up in...

Cigars and TreeFeeling as if you’ve been kicked in the nuts with a golf shoe is similar to being ghosted by someone with you had a connection. By someone that listened. I blame myself for these feelings and for having unwarranted expectations. I blame myself for this false feeling of rejection.
In the room, smoke gathers, thick as...

Captain ArcaroGallop vapor folded aluminum mare resonator
Sun spits decorative decimals bleeding metal
Scatter the hourglass pearl crown tidewater brine dusk
Tongue sings driftwood bone galleys
Captain Arcaro flew sideways through time,
his boots full of fishbones,
his teeth tuned to minor seventh.
The geese were his crew—
not honking but howling,
in saxophone wails and accordion rhythms.
Their wings left chalk outlines on the...

Sun MirrorsBehold the solar farm is born,
a glowing wilderness of sun mirrors,
shinning panels in platooned fields.
Ready in rank for homes to defend.
Sun soldiers of the century,
generators of heat, energy
will mirror prosperous power
reflecting southwest rays.
Behold, the solar farm's harvest,
sun mirrors to warm a freezing land.

At Least One Giant Ground Sloth Is Alive Again
I found it curled in the shadow
of what used to be a hospital.
A slow hunch of fur,
the color of old bark—like the forest
had tried to grow itself a question.
It didn’t look surprised to see me.
Just blinked, as if measuring
whether I was worth the glance.
I sat cross-legged beside it,
tore foil from a protein bar—
offered the whole...

The Poacher's Dream"I dismounted, seated myself on an eminence, and began to mark with my pencil, making a dot for every flock that passed. In a short time finding the task which I had undertaken impracticable, as the birds poured in in countless multitudes, I rose and, counting the dots then put down, found that 163 had...

The corridors of HellThe sound of army boots marching upon marble tiles
that leads into a corridor near the towers
and the echoes of screaming children
brought me to my knees and I found myself
in an unusual place staring in space
I am staring down the corridors of hell
I wake up thinking that I was dead
I must have had a bad...

Holding the Matcheswe find life in moments within nature
in the rain
or the thunder that soon follows
in a bushfire
from the trees that became hollow
but she brings her own life
and i find it incredibly peaceful
like rain on a tin roof
sometimes it's a loud love
like a bike at full throttle
she's lightning in a bottle
energetic and explosive
but not all...

ELEVATEA flower can bloom just like your life
You just open up and make the sacrifice
Don't ever feel like you want to quit
Because in life you will start to reminisce
Always be patience let your life start to revolve
Never settle for the unknown alway stay involved
Be quick to listen, not quit to anger
Don't go down...

Back to the VoidOn this paper you’ll read what killed our humanity
The simple answer: it died to corporate greed
Our race is alive, our morals are not
But we’re just simply doing what we were taught
We murder and steal, then fine and judge
Our hypocrisy is limitless, criminals don’t even run

Nature's TapestryA winsome weave, simple and real,
Warp and weft—a tight twill,
A weaverbird’s nest—strong and snug,
With soft crossways and tumphy tug.
Subtle cozy patterns, seldom revealed,
Cynical twists like waves unsealed,
The mirror of peafowl’s courtship field.
Matchless display by the peacock,
Dance elevated by love, rattle of feathers in rhythmic clock,
Enticing and dazing the hens, with a silent poise,
All while rivals...

Budget ShipMid-day vibration is coming to town and the people are running around getting ready for a big party to celebrate their musical history.
More than a hundred ships are docked at sea
And my beau is waiting for me, which ship he will board
I can’t tell, I will only know when I hear the mid-night...
