Surrealist

Halloween, it took me flying

forcing me to take a trip into the twilight with you.

The night covers my brain in black paint.

We walk on a path of stars together into the black hole.

Darkness then brings me home and wraps a blanket around my face.

The dark sleeps to keep me awake

The daylight calls out to me softly.

I scream for the night to return.

I make no noise.

I say nothing because the paint has dried,

And I’m stuck in the black.

I look and see nothing.

Eyes open sucked into the dark.

I look and see shadows.

The ghouls of all Hallows Eve coming out to play.

Ghouls who eat the dead.

Ghouls who know envy and lust.

Ghouls who I never loved.

sound poem

I’ve been a listener since I met you.

Something about your life makes me wants to hear.

I will listen to your broken tooth smile talk about time and how nothing truly exists.

You talk about facts and how I cannot fear the future.

you stammer and slur words about your past self.

Ranting about the rage you would repress.

I’ll listen when you lose feeling in your left leg,

And drink liquor with you to lessen the pain.

Watching you blow money to self-medicate every Monday.

Then I’ll help you hop back to my Honda, and bring you home.

You play slow soothing sounds from your guitar

And tell me tales of Taylor, the troublemaker you tried so hard for.

I hear in your voice how she hurt your heart and messed with your head.

You say she Facebooked you, and you forgave.

I don’t think you will ever listen to be because of her.

I listen because I know what it feels like not to heard.

cubist poem

Driving 

Get in the car

Set belt. Buckle buckle buckle

Drive. Wait. Foot on the break. Break.

Drive slow. Slow slowly.

Drive. keep foot on break.

Go. Left. Which way is left. Left. Wait. Right.

Left left left

Turn left

Go slow. Watch out. Drive. Foot on break. Slow slow

Which way is left. Which way is right left right left right

Which lane. Get over. Wrong way

Which way is left right

“You went the wrong way”

Please make a u-turn

Left left

No the other left

Pleaae make a u-turn

Please make a u-turn

You. You drive. Wrong

You. You. Turn left

wrong

Go slowly

Watch out

Red light don’t go. go slow

Stop.

 watch what your doing. Too slow

Why so slow. Wrong way.

Which way is left. Left left left.

Keep going. Drive drive drive.
