i have been wrong, i have wronged.

Death-Holding-Mask

out of Context;
‘This I have made so by my strength of will, I have created this world I have found myself within, and taken no regrets at the actions that lead me here.’




CMK – 1/07

we speak from inside
the mind’s eye
where we do not die
merely experience
the rest of all of this
one at a time
we create
worlds within ourselves
this way
a growth.




Disaffected.

the youth in me
moves outward
to portray frustration
inside others for
my actions turn
to mush together
becoming that
thing that ideas
circulate among
images that would
otherwise point
towards blank
and empty spaces
creating disarray.




Lucifer

Tears of blood, fall from grace;
Scabbed wings from a hollow face;
Pain of heaven now flame in hell;
A wish to say I never fell




the sense of touch, fleeting

‘used…the tissue…no other ends…’




my payless crusade

‘clearly…present…the gallows noose…’




questions of a heart

the heart is shaken loose, from the gristle

that the organ had grown quite used to

abuse of the time, having lost for you

what you thought was mine, was it meant to be?

there were thoughts that were wrong to find

memories rather lost than not

fraught with peril for love with cost

grind the gears before the motion is lost

before that turning clock has rung

rust has broken that yet unsung




Slimming down to fit into the coffin

The basement is closed to us.

A flush of excrement welled inside my pants.

This is what they have always meant by change.

My scrotum crawls up into my abdomen.

The choking feeling of change for change’s sake.

My limbs feeling as consumed by fire.

Wallowing in misery for far too long to fathom.

Gripping my sides in welling agony as dread fills me.

A new light opening my eyes.

As the sweat pours off my skin.

A new awakening begins to show.

The nerves start to crackle with pain.

The anticipation to interject a different energy.

The stomach clenches, and butterflies fill me to spilling out of my mouth.

The reactions to a voodoo logic as the magick becomes far more.

Falling to the knees, my body begins to thrash around, and the skin is electric.

When it’s all gone from me, somewhere I lose the train of thought, and the light fades in.

Thanks, …




The map

the directions written on the paper

are written to confuse and confound

the beasts reveal themselves through

the motion

while their eyes show a soul

it takes time to understand what

let alone why that it was written

especially this way that conveys

nothing beyond

the eyes that glimmer so

the soul stops Here but only for a ride

to cruise the city streets

to run through rural fields

fighting scarecrows

stopping farmers from killing

the harvest is the human alone

a good harvest indicates a good year

a bad harvest indicates a bad seed

allowed to form bonds

under the surface of the dirt

this is the map of growth and experience




Waiting…

the waiting is what kills you

queue upon queue of waiting

like a river dribbling people over

to sort their way through more lines

patience should be easy

patience is the way to meet such a challenge

impatience, however, is far sooner

revealed and realized

as the blood begins to boil

as annoyance takes its’ toll

this isn’t the place for weakness

weakness should be kept to

the infirm who cannot reach

to make known the need for help

help out from progressing lines

for freedom from waiting
