.. call it a persona disorder

Bed.

I look at my muscles. They seem smaller. Weaker. I do seem weaker.
I breathe dust. That is why my lungs collapse, nearly explode, such is the feeling, the sensation of pain and the effort to describe it by relating it to some phenomena that most people should associate with great power, magnitude. I'm hyperbolating. I'm breathing dust. This room must be in its very original state of being. No one to the extend of my knowledge has ever cleaned here.
Dirt occupies the floor. Sincerely, it has not belonged to me in a long while. If the whole existence came to a question of belonging, there would be no bottom for the argument. No reason. The whole argument turns hollow.

The dessert was malicious, my dear.

Mindful of sand
a fingerprint scanned
never for the damned
and no blessed are in sight

Schism or a fight
need to adjust the light
someone just might have a slight
breeze of delight

And not until the clouds are
machine made can a single tree
set on a crusade

So loose-legged
the armed men stand
in surprise I despise
how they hold onto their land

on the chest
a heart distressed
when the rest
eventually laid to rest

And not until the clouds are
machine made can a single tree
set on a crusade

mysticism

In the absence of violence

                I felt
          a slight discomfort,     a snap

  like a bird’s neck


and every damn bird was dead.


In the absence of  wind 

in that park 

          I stood to grind
                          
               my teeth

that park or some other.

So (what) are we

So are we
leaves rustling beneath feet and
getting along with grass and with
worms that break through
the soil

and
So are we
stains on a shirt from coffee
some morning.      Sealed eyes
bricked lips and     breath
like thunder

and
So are we
3 a.m. quiz on telly
    on     mute
while the big  belly
sags on the
couch.   and    breath
like thunder

every breath    is   like thunder

and so
were we

the bricks that
got thrown at trains.
