Pewter Handles
05:12

Some thirty-odd years apart,
pins, posts and arteries intertwined
and intermingled with
all fourteen of us.
You walk on sprained ankle
back to the house you were born in,
your head pummeled and habroneme,
shows us what you've done.
Our view here is unobscured,
and now we know that yours is too
filled up with lacerating tails
of demons and ties that
bind you to the past and we
are here to set you free with
these scissors with pewter handles
that you've never seen before.

Cherry Blossums Dance

Love is a bomb in your heart,
ready to explode on you anytime.
You and me belong together
like two peas in a pod.
Being with you is like staying on cloud nine.
The sun smiles as it rises above the city,
the cherry blossums dance in the wind freely.
Both of these things describe you well.
My heart, overwhelmed by the sight of you,
taps a wild beat inside my chest!
Bum bum bum!
The hole where my heart once laid hurts,
for you have stolen my heart.
Darling, the bomb in my heart has exploded...
boom!

Fish God

|

Getting a head start on regret,
a thousand boldfaced pages of text,
a labor of love.
For you to go and find the truth,
the throng will mock and ridicule you,
a labor of love.
Something for you that you need to continue.
Something for you that you might find within you.
