    Art

    Shapes in
    raw granite, 
    a person.
    An unaware,
    apathetic block-
    head
    staring blankly 
    in the mirror,
    hammered and sanded.
    
    From top
    to toe, 
    mouths run - 
    collecting minerals -
    dribbling away.
    Forward springs life,
    etching down
    the drain.
    
    Rock chips
    stumble over
    each other.
    Dust finds home
    on rough edges - 
    inevitably the floor,
    cracks in my dry,
    clay-soaked hands,
    and cloth folds  
    wherever paint
    doesn’t already cling. 
    
    The eyes:
    pained,
    long set.
    A muscular beauty,
    the rest,
    one casual greeting 
    at a time.
    
    In and out
    of days,
    nights fitting
    somewhere between, 
    apparently. 
    I work.

    Listening to your voice, I wonder how many beautiful poems I’ve hated listening in mine.

  • Preposterous Ponderings: iii.

    Certainty:

    A crutch we use

    to reassure ourselves

    everything is okay.

    But it already was,

    because things are

    and thus, already

    as they should be.
