Syncopation

jagged neon, a welcome once
a warning these days
burst the bubbles, inert and clouding all clear eyes
acclimate from afar, the grains
the fields of amber
catch the rye, waft away across a floor of flies
drag it out, patronize
knock it down, fantasize
linger on
past life shorthand, a common ground
a means of entrance
now defected, the troops approach another fight
sign lit, bookended easy out
a fire averted
matchbook grabbed by the whole, import the one to strike
drag it out, patronize
knock it down, fantasize
linger on

self-sterilize
a dozen paces of scenery change
a holding room
to incubate terrors you elsewhere assuage
appear in eyes, a shell
a model the mold couldn’t pay to replace
a housing boom
with rent so controlled, you can’t even fill space
the only way
is two by two
then on your face
in time, take on the sprawl
seek out retaining walls
exert, play ball
self-sabotage
a life made intriguing through falsified claims
a guise above
existing at odds with the pack that remain
and threaten on
infringing the bubble created in vain
from days away
a prodigal kid who passed out on the plane
the only way
is two by two
into the night
divest and start anew
direct today’s revue
a chance to follow through
a couple more would do

Birdwatch

scribbled circle seeking out
an empty axle on the block
a ticket home, a parking lot
to maim the snow
a track, amok
(to run upon, to guide, to holler “better off, you’ve got a role, just play the hits, a show’s a show”)
what if you happened on another way
where you cower at monsters banished to your brain
and you step on the ones who hope that you’re okay
cash it, kid, you wrote it, time to go away
a glimpse, a murmur of the form
a pane that reassures you are
a 21
a final boss
an only son
then on the crest, a scenic rise
desert the effigy you’re in
a life arranged
the timer’s on
yeah, nothing’s changed
soak it in, kid, the key is yours today
flora evocative of early May
opt in to marvel at the wide array
on the horizon, clouds are turning
gray
the doll of wisdom, nest within
aside if it were up to us
would we complain?
would we endure?
would we remain?

About Face

red on the rail
there’ve been others foraging too
carve till the dark for in daylight we’d expire with a view
face the day
find the sun
avoid the shade
the urge to run
obliterate
melt away
nothing left
empty space
wait in the car
keep the heat on
you’d make it quick
care petered out as of recent
it’s one you helped grow
take a step back
take it back now
and look at it big
why can’t you see it’s the same as you want it to be?

topple from within
drowning free from sin
hunt the fox and meek
here on out find sleep
topple from within
drowning free from sin
topple
here on out, find sleep
