‘I have a plan to #reinvigorate my life.’ ‘You? The guy who spent all weekend pounding beers from a couchside cooler while watching sports on TV?’ ‘Yep. Gonna get back in shape.’ ‘Do you even know how to exercise?’ ‘I’ll start with lunges. That’s a big step forward.’ #vss365

at the end of all things a great reinvigoration for we are cursed to start again till we get it right curse? perhaps instead, a blessing I want to get it right #reinvigorate #vss365 #poem #poetry

the silent sad song of someone with no one to talk to, so subtle, echoing out of invisible tears, pain guarded like the most valuable treasure but it all comes back to trauma maybe you can hear it if you listen close, with your eyes, to the difference between them now and before #perhaps not #vss365

clocks stock time and parcel it out; minute by minute equally to all comers, and even to those who remain away; an impartial gift that only feels unfair in the end #stock #vss365 #poetry #poem

I try to remind myself all that hate and rage is energy you can put it to destructive purpose you CAN but you don't have to you CAN re- structure and CREATE NEW yes, YOU CAN it's harder - so much harder and the dividends paid much later and still YOU CAN. I try to remind myself #vss365 #synthesis

there's a secret powerful cabal feasting in the dark and planning their plans. over eggs, they discuss manifesting a prosperous future. sipping too-early wine, they resolve to solve the problems of the present. they are not very effective things remain much the same. #conspire #vss365 #poem #poetry

some think it weakness, #flinching but I rather that than the bullish charge the ceaseless advance blind to carnage I want one who looks consequence in the eye, and blinks and decides it's okay to make a change if it wasn't worth it if the aftermath wasn't what we wanted #vss365 #poetry #poem

the hand steady resting gripped firm ready on the sword. silent display power play beauty even if never drawn. more beauty if never drawn. the threat the promise when well applied says enough. says it all. #power #vss365 #poem #poetry

cacophony around me Niagaric cascade of chances I could be king of any conversation but then, only one how to choose in mind-melting misery, I sit summon perfect repartee to every single one silent, in my mind, king of none #chance #vss365 #poem #poetry

articles can tickle the mind but you must make your soul grow #article #vss365

at what point does wilfull denial of perception, does refusal to receive the world, finally constitute unconscious; I see so much flesh walking without #conscious #vss365 #poem #poetry

bind, bind and unbind we build boxes to bury ourselves in while we still breathe - and rage, afraid when they break; accept it's all arbitrary and the air feels nice against bare skin #arbitrary #vss365 #poem #poetry

so readily they consign our present mistakes to past to stone when we could still mold before the clay hardens #past #vss365 #poetry #poem

yearning, yearning we drink deep from the cup of want never satisfied in our thirst never quenched there's something beautiful in our desert journeys but we loathe a desiccated corpse culture thrives on the fine line tempting satisfaction #yearn #vss365 #poem #poetry

my misfortunes black stars constellate in mockery so everyone can see and I can always be reminded #constellation #vss365 #poem #poetry

they cause pain so great it feels unreal but in their hearts is so little mundane selfishness, self-interest and simply disregard for wounding for all those wounded for wounds until the second they themselves are hurt #mundane #vss365 #poem #poetry

burned hands holding candles we don't weep, we watch the rock roll down deep into darkness vigilance can't oppose gravity so we hold vigil in advance #vigil #vss365 #poem #poetry
