Queen Of The Cattails

 I exchanged all the little things

for monstrosities.


Can you believe me when I say;

I traded in the hills for mountains,

carved my face,

and moved on with my life?


Yet I gave up the forest for the thickets

because they were familiar to me. 


And in the thicket,

I found my crown

of esteem and dreams.


Queen Of The Cattails,

they say as I stand

proud in the swamp.


Where no one can see my face,

but the frogs who turn to Kings.


They believed in me.

God Created The Flies

 I’m struggling to see

that the universe

is much bigger than me. 


What puzzles me and I

-is myself.


Thoughts of the creator,

who was never created,

but rather existed existentially.


Beyond our beliefs,

lies a thing we could

never understand-


The reach of God’s hand,

could we all be here standing

below his fingertips?


Who knows?


My understanding is earthly,

humanitarian as I try to imagine

what that hand looks like.


Or is it a hand at all?

Is it just a wafting presence,

a glow around us?


God Created The Flies,

and the worm that ate

at Apathetic Happiness.


He was a second of shade,

which withered into Death Wishes.


So be still the anger

of misunderstandings,

and spare this great city

from spiritual darkness.

It’s All Cuckoo Clocks

 There is no Christmas in July

when it’s already August.


Rainy days surprise

-adds another wave

to an otherwise peaceful puddle.


It’s All Cuckoo Clocks

in Horror’s head.


Rainfall floods

the streets

with dread.


Fibs fill my head

as I unplug the drain,

I will not be washed

in the brain.


Now see, I know much better

than this rainy weather,

and unlike the unkind,

I can overcome

battles of the mind.
