the mad ones
any day over the sane
give me
the drunks
the wanderers
the reckless recluses
the homeless vagabonds
the thieves of the night
the wreckers of cardboard boxes
in the virgin dawn
the catchers of beer buzzes at 9 a.m.
to combat last nights hangover.
give me the stars
not painted by the normalcy
of the great
"I am".
give me the belly laughs of lunacy
found inside the roadside juke joints
that my father used to reside in
night after night after night
not the pseudo throaty chuckles
that you may find in business seminars
after the stalest of jokes.
freeing
the caged bird
cold
detached
robotic
the
music pulsates without
emotion
bondage
seeping in to my heart
slowly
tying the noose of
cryptic
metaphor
and
killing my soul
it
shatters like a wave upon a stony shore
plummeting
to the floor
it
scatters into a million pieces
the
music still doesn't care
it
blares methodologically
from
computer speakers
the
blood still slides across white tiled floor
frozen
thought
seizing
the moment of exile
death
can't be that far away now
oh
but
can
it really free this bird
caged
far
to long?
Passing
Through Andorra
The
ghost of the past
swim
through branches
naked
and reaching.
Fog
swirls like a horrid
dream
never ending
painting
a ghastly
tapestry. An ominous
sun
fades from view
it
seems to be playing
gorilla
war fare within
thin
veiled clouds of both
luminous and treacherous
meanderings. Emotions stirred
so
richly cloaked in the
brilliance
and indifference of
dancing
infusions. The innocence of
shadows
at play upon a lake beneath
that
mirrors the soul of silent splendor.
Her
eyes awoke in the morn and wept
paralyzed
by the dawn.
