Beyond The Deep
October 28, 2009
The vast mountain echo resounds and encircles
From the overgrowth creatures scurry and raise themselves
in the deepest water a rock shifts
Change encountered in endlessness
willing confusion and subtlety mark my skin
I sing the song of ancients.

abandon
September 23, 2009
I know acutely the experience
of leaving my heart unguarded for too long
and suddenly recalling the necessity.
If I have my wits I am a professional
and I can see your kind coming through your masks and your siren dances
but the wind had changed and I thought I was in shallow water.
Do all drowning men feel as foolish?
I should know better.
I should have known better.
This man is cragged and far too rotten for change
and sunlight only speeds up decay.
Study that line.
I accept its truth, it is your sickness not to.
It is your optimist innocence that allows you to believe that you could change me.
It is my self proclaimed curse not to change.
I suppose we both could have been a little more honest.
