Routes

a missed connection
takes me
takes everything
closer, to where
I did not know
I needed to go.

familiarly,
&
gingerly,
blind fingers linger
and play
on strange keys,
worn from countless others
yet sweet to my touch.

but,
a horn blows,
and reconnecting paths appear,
filled with old stagnant fears.

i close my eyes…..

deep fallen thoughts soar on the wings of hope

I felt it pop
(my heart)
twice,
and i knew i was no more.
i was no
where?

i was nothing, yet
here i am
lost in a reverie
of sweet bewilderment.

what was never lost
cannot be reclaimed.
but what was misplaced
is lost forever.

a joyous life has no desire,
so i flow
with you,
waiting
for the wheel.

Racing Into Nothing

swiftly
hurtling and
chortling along my way,
life smacks
me in my eye and i smile.

continuing a journey
which
continues till the end,
i welcome you too,
my furry and confused friend.

running towards unkown pain,
or pleasure.
my heart skips with
delightful fear.

where?

when?

how?
who cares?

who
the fuck
cares?

Brother

keep it moving
and keep it
to yourself.

keepsakes and krack vials,
the fucKing
kkk;

keep narrow
keep small,
keep clean of nicotine-
you will keep
breathing.

i keep my own counsel,
and keep my eyes down.

i am not your keeper
but please,
keep
looking out,
for me.
