Northern Siege

When light of day hits frigid ice, the melting rot will glare at us

history books re-calling now will tell of murderous rage.

Fake Patriots with sanctioned guns take the children raped en route

and hide their storied pain.

Our future ravaged all at once by predators and monster men

thrusting organs in our guts

wounding both from back and top.

As politician-speak is elegant, manning votes that steal our voice

we gather then to tend our wounds,

the Good and Pretti who remain.

The God forsaken in this war dethroned and wanting still

to comfort children, unveil the lies

and stir our hearts again.

Time

Lived as if traveled

from place to another space.

Felt as if stricken or lost in a fading dream

Forgotten always in bliss and love-

slower and slower in gasps of hope.

A whirl and window

until a story becomes in time,

beauty at last.

Monsters

The wanting whisked through a conflicted reality

Some can’t stop. 

Each moment boiling over into another hot space

guarded by an other,

while hate drives quick breaths unintentionally

feeding a monster.

 

Everyday

Every day breathes hope from forgotten dreams

taking for granted expected miracles of awareness.

But out the door then,

without coat or cover

on to a human paced journey of doing and stuff-

an accustomed living with exposed intentions

and brokenness, storms and tantrums,

only then to circle back where a closed door shields the heart

in prayerful submission to the chill of that day’s failed ending.
