Don’t believe me when I tell you

that the end was near

just not this near.

The rear blurred

blurred lines

blood on the dance floor

and I’ll wait my turn

Today, she begged for me

to pray.

To lay my hands on the ground

off the wheel

and let the man take hold

the man she holds

all her bread for.

Bread of life that she

cherishes and will drop

the night and day for

the man she needs

to carve the path in her name.

I prefer warm bread

so we went to a bakery.

I baked our dreams

and forgot to turn

it on.

Director pauses.

Can see her wink

frame us perfect.

Captures a pure moment

of lust

maybe a slipping secret.

Director thins his jaw like a file.

She is an amazing actress

they would believe the lie

but it’s real

real that this set needs.

Director stands

Back to your places

one more time,

not what we are selling!

Can hear the screams

of the restless

through the open

bedroom window.

Shut the window

she’ll tell me

but I told her

after it’s over.

The sling of a famous

warrior hangs

in the Hall of Heroes.

Surrounded by swords

shields and polished rifles

with far more kills.

The sling is hung the highest

closest to god

and furthest from us.

Hey, Buddy

come sit with me, Buddy

Never thought I’d say this, Buddy

I don’t feel so lonely, Buddy.

I’ve seen the door.

The secrets on the other side

remain the mystery

or the answers

to the questions

deconstruction

maybe more important

creation.

I’ve seen the door.

Permission denied

I’ll try the bell

and knock twice

but the time isn’t right.

Permitted to poison

twice a day

and the antidote

is on the other side.

Falling

crashing

all before one period.

Survived and limped

away watching the burning

The flames used to tickle

the cheek

now scars and

follows

before the falling,

standing on the same

Earth was precious

now only flames

wondering if the Earth

can conquer

the most horrid

creation.
