Little Everywhere and Big Daddy’s Bad Ass Boots

“We meet again
which life is this
some say it’s hell
some say it’s bliss
some neither know
nor care to glimpse
what is temporal
and what is permanent.”

We meet again
which time is this
much has changed
but who still remembers it
ages come
ages vanish…..
((((((((((((((!!!0!!!!))))))))))))))))
my man drags his eyes from a past
where we lived on another planet
he almost explains
but saw we dug it
his wife laughs and asks
“yeah
but what’s all that got to do with
sticking to our budget?!.”

We meet again
which world is this
talking to her belly she asks,
“what is your name?”
she blinks
and
in that instant
she lives
a thousand lives
when she opens her eyes
her child reminds,
“I am
what I
was unable to finish,
I will be
that web weaver
reminding
this world of
what is always
endless”

 

Writer’s Rites

to write until
every rite achieved
glows into every infinity
as not only something to be
said
but also as everything to be
lived
as a means to destroy the ordinary
and
exemplify the extraordinary
defying the natural
and
being one with the supernatural
to exceed each and every nano fiber
of all and every limitation
and live to tell the tale
in unavoidable beautiful detail
