we all rode the shortbus to school; this is why.

God of the Snow

Why do you pretend to know
When you have no clue?
You mock the weaker
But we should all be mocking you
You say you’re an adult, but when
the time comes you run and hide
And when I spoke the truth
You told me I’d lied
And all I want to know now
Is what makes you such a FUCKING GOD

(your so vein… I bet you think this song is about you)

in darkness, my mother

i shall worship the darkness,
the night,
the womb,
our mother,
for her power to bring all men prostrate before her.
she instills fear,
and clamps down
with cold damp hands
on those who dare confront her.
i shall worship the darkness,
the night,
my mother,
she who never abandons me,
she who is always lively,
even when not with me.
i shall worship the darkness,
my mother,
who feeds me starlight,
and pours milk of moon
deeper into me than i would let it go.
i shall worship my mother
in darkness,
and she shall always favor me.

remnants of a once lit world

i sit and look out
at the horizon.
horizon is a funny word;
i would not know it
if i was down among the trees.
but i am high enough
to see above those trees,
mostly evergreens,
their highest points
creating the hills i see
from up above
that world.
to my right the hills
slip away
into the clouds.
to my left
they make peace
with something even tempered.
and straight ahead
that giant sticky candy ball
that is the sun
eats them up
with a lively hunger.
soon only darness remains.
i still have my hills.

haikus 109-113

haiku 109
i have not written
a haiku in quite some time
so i will tonight

haiku 110
the dog is loudly
chewing his bone on the floor
while i stare at him

haiku 111
i thought of you then
after our walk through the snow
in that white garden

haiku 112
when i was lonely
in the dark out in those woods
i would picture you

haiku 113
she said to breathe deep
to take my mind off the pain
but i cried instead
