Fixation

I like to fix things

somewhere about 18 inches

in front of my eyes

Subcategories

The Lord is my shepherd,

want not therefore shall I

want

not

I suppose craving falls under want

somewhere

Give it up, man

The first step is admission

that there is even something

to admit

From there, it's basically painful.

Think about this carefully:

wanting to be wanted;

wanting to be known; and

wanting to avoid looking foolish.

All hardwired in.

Wanting to be read,

to be heard,

to be seen, even.

Sitting alone

should be simpler

than this

somewhere

If I call your name

will you answer

or figure that it's not worth the pain

The look in a young child's eyes

when they thought

you were friends forever

Trees bend in the wind

and sometimes break

every day

the sun comes up

somewhere

A gentle flame

The Truth has some ways to hurt

unlooked for

He gives, He takes away

So cruel it seems at times

to set us free

by dragging into the open

and no chance really to explain

or put in a word for beauty

500 meters high

at a sudden burst

of anger unlooked for

the creatures stagger, wounded

calamity, collisions

hope unwound

and left away

It's not right, you know.

A gentle flame burns

quietly in the night

not that way, again

Morning Rush

Limited Edition

Waking, dreamlands beckon return

from some ten thousand divisions of a week

but open ears, the inside

of my mouth

and pillow-turn of head

signal another limited edition day

loves and losses,

regrets

all stored away
