"It's about words, and words are all I have…"

Archive for the day “February 25, 2025”

a way above my head i see the strangest sight

hole in heart  pierced through  to the quick  underneath all

is the gut  fucking  punch  of brain cancer  this cancer odyssey

rips you apart  +pieces you back together  as if  you are still yourself

but you are  NOT  +never will be  ever   yet underneath the blood

yoke staples radiation burns  a new poet emerges  part forestsprite

part crone  stoic ju bu   (thinking caps on.. you can decipher this!)

you rise  un-humpty   2000+yrs ago Aurelius said: i am an old man now  

it’s time to stop being a slave  to no longer be pulled along like a puppet

on strings  to stop being dissatisfied with today  and afraid of tomorrow 

 

oh she is tired  a watery sun warms her old poetparts   a bitter wind licks

her  in the slits  where her coat doesn’t give cover  she listens to the leafless wind

no birds   a quiet freeze   you cannot extinguish me     motherfuckers

 

girl woman crone cadaver skeleton bones twigs nests bugs frogs stray cats in the

family garage  saddles  a brother’s real  birth certificate  a rusted out used car

how did her old parents ever clean out that house?  both spent+breathless  +free

recent missive from the heavens where parents float..

where a Chagall fiddler fiddles  ..over old wine+old bones
