The Floral Assault
A flower fell into his drink
He shoved it away repulsed
Foreign object
Contamination
What an abomination
I said it's not that bad
But it didn't quench his thirst
For purity
Of what I wonder
Why he can readily partake in
A brew conceived in a steel belly
Fed by plastic veins
And raised by Commodity
But a flower in his drink
Was worse than a toenail in the sink
The beautiful gift of the tree and wind
Was shoved away by him to whom it was sent
I wish we could see more
The poetry in things superordinary
is the world hermitian?
thick obscure
our imaginary selves
inhabit our cities
why each of us
feel we hold the truth
and know the real deal
what makes the determinant
of this human matrix
equal to nothing
our dreams locked - branded unreal
we follow each other's
imaginary footsteps
when the different and the uncommon
the mutant ideas
non-expressed in
the genius of our thoughts
blossom to dry

On the fall of Meranti
tear
struggles to form,
but is too bitter
to even try to fall
we cogs
can we pry ourselves out
of the big machine
reorganize, avenge?
we are like borgs, coming together,
different as we are,
in mind and DNA,
emerging from us,
by will or accident - this machine
-lumbering, heavy, greedy, needy.

To return the favor, it was the least I could do.

We phant
It's the asma
But still, go Ria, go
We run out of Time
The Shadows lengthen
Beside every Tree
Quiet and Defunct their stumps
Like stubble on the naked mountains
TheyQuietUs
And so we phant
Despite the asma
We must go Ria, go
This trail will melt
Under the rain and setting sun
LikeChocolateMud
Under out feet
Me? does it matter? You?
Rabbits? Have-nots or Have-its?
We can't stop this
We can't stop now
SLN
a universe
lay macro still on the grass
planets red orbs of reflected light
denizens - a crawl in a slow consuming dance
energy out, bonds are broken
and this aware observer
if choice was taken
may end it all
but helpless in stopping entropy
half the universe gone
inside and out like a sticky glove
taken off
and on the grass it lays
half a cat.

dead flowers
dead flowers
will I get some tonight
dead flowers
seem alright
and oh I keep waiting
for the time
stop looking
for peace inside my mind
(hey don't close your eyes
I think death's in sight)
dry tear drops
fill empty eyes
like storm clouds
in desert skies
so why when you
have roses in your hands
eye my dead flowers
with envious eyes
(hey fight for your right
or be dead like flowers in the night)
