Earths trials.

Created to climb,

breathe,

the sun strips

the air away.

Rubble lays

crumbled in

makeshift earth,

breathe,

clouds part

for the coming home party.

Eye lids

burn so strong

water runs hot.

Drop and pop

blink twice

take a shot.

In the dark

Shades gone

it’s all bark

move a pawn

be Tony Stark.

 

Bark twice for the bone

flip roll over

Now you got it

that’s a good boy!

Cheap Pedigree

put on a pedestal

A few petals

s c a t t e r

break the bone

that’s a good boy.

Blink twice

click your heels

this isn’t Kansas anymore

this shit is real

cake and jewelry

debates and All my Children.

 

Flee.

 

Deny deny deny

she was all in your head

playing over and over again

I don’t even like the Wizard of Oz

who needs a heart

tin around my body

soldier going to war

kiss your loved ones

I’ll never be the same.

 

 

 

Blood runs warm

tears never quit

loved ones

run for the rivers

running till the sun sets

in heaven.

Fresh earth

cracks molten

debating the end

Or is it just mud?

The fair weather

fresh

crisp winds and

fallen children.

Loose

falling in between your fingers

following home

bottom of the heels

It hides.

Rapid lens

capturing memories

watching her walk for the first time

watching her love for the first time

black and white

true color is in the eyes

real feelings are in the mind

real love is in the heart.

Tripod holding

button squeezing

the new memory like

a new-born baby.

Pages filled

weary and drained

the gallery of life

will never feel the same.

Holding a cross

sitting cross legged

waiting for them to cross the street.

Carrying science books about space

looking to the stars

for the answers.

Breakfast than sex

peanuts and Powerade

second helping of both.

Wood sinks into the titles

shattering the boundaries

creating space

destroying space

kiss they on the face

share this moment.

Peanuts and Powerade

frequent visits to the doctor

doctor love

doctor of your mind

doctor of your spirit

testing your soul

can you read above the line

can you answer the question

where will you be

when the lights go out?
