Waterside
Day in and day out
busy evening quiets down
crickets overtake

Night shift
Hero through hard work
champion by appointment
respite comes slowly
July evening
Storm clouds looming long.
Eventually passing,
night is silent now.
Optional
Taking chances with
fickle opportunities,
which road is smoother?
Experience lost
returning backwards takes time
longer than the rest
Tourniquet
Major arteries
city traffic is held up
Raining quiets all
In a nutshell
Just as nuts have shells
all mistakes are silver-lined
wind blows regardless
Bring the hammer down
Give me some back up
before I back down
feeling like the class clown
in a ghost town
you’ve got to pick the hammer up
if you want to bring it down
Rampage
Power outage,
halfway to becoming the blind sage
power outrage,
product of in-rage.
Between the lampshade
and the bent page,
bring the pen down
with the force of ant-rage.
bones+moans
Cavern dwellings,
vibrations echoed in bones and moans,
no drop is still nor falling,
too near the floor.
