Perhaps healing’s not
Returning to the old life
Rather, a new one

Haiku
Oh, smartassery,
Free of all cynicism.
A good goal, perhaps?
Who’s Deceived?
Within deception
Perhaps lies a deeper truth,
Hidden in plain site.
Deceiving
Within deception,
Lies, deeply, underlying truth,
Powerful learning.
Focus
To live in this moment,
Ephemeral, moving,
An aim easy to lose.
Focus, my friends,
Focus is key.
Ferguson
Violence doesn’t heal.
Tis a short term thing,
Self-inflicted grief
Building upon agony.
Simmering wreckage,
Quite close to home.
New destruction layered
Upon the old.
Gargantuan pachyderm
Calmly sits,
Ignored.
Thanksgiving
Gluttony aside,
Appreciation abounds.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Winter’s Caress
Winter’s icy breath
Haunts my dreams.
Awoke, strange chill
Lingering upon my cheek
Arms, sheets, caressing
Silently, presence insisting
Upon awareness.
Winter’s Arrival
Icicle air clings
Upon my extra clothing.
Wondrous clarity.
Migraineur
So begins doom
Tendons within the neck
Pulled, slowly, growing
Into ferocity, mercy unknown.
Powerless, collapsing within.
Seeking, simply, to continue
To exist upon the other side.
Survival, sometimes, a worthy
Goal.
