Basking in autumn light

Basking in autumn light
A homeless man aloof
His walls exterior
The sky above his roof

What a day like today
Must be for the fateful
I in my pleasure dome
Questioning my grateful

A distortion exists

A distortion exists
A breached reality
Not a broken promise
And not duality

A fragile filament
Acting as a lighthouse
Ships seeking safe harbor
Lured into a shithouse

Across sunsetting fields

Across sunsetting fields
Sensing longevity
An oak standing in rows
Yet, purely brevity

The beauty of being
The good and bad and such
How much it means to us
But that, too, is not much

Privacy and fishbowl

Privacy and fishbowl
My mantra, a motto
A dingy mid-ocean
Silent winning lotto

The message is not mixed
Not visiting Venus
Our two bloody thumbs meet
It's not intravenous

Nothing left on these bones

Nothing left on these bones
The carcass is picked clean
A skull head in the sand
Even vultures can glean

First life is gone and then
Anything life-giving
A circle of mushrooms
For a tree not living

Up above silent planes

Up above silent planes
And below on the ground
Fall shadows long and stretched
On this small piece of round

And all the come what mays
That never came to be
Are not in this round hole
With this round peg of me

In a forgetfulness

In a forgetfulness
Waking a sliver slice
A sequence of seconds
Gone forever suffice

Even the packages
Tied with ribbons and bows
Are suffering the loss
Of who recalls or knows
