winter sits just outside the window

waiting for me to crawl under its coat tails

I grasp onto this pen  in this coffee shop

to fight it off for just a poem or two more

here,
the clock is a Roman shield
not letting you
get away ,
not letting you go forward
only knocking you back
letting you collect yourself
as the seconds tick
you are being crushed by a legion

closing my eyes
letting no light in
I am hunting words
in this space
the darkened forest
of  mind ; potential
poems hide like deer
in the bushes

I wanted
to believe
in god,
in hope ,
in myself
at least I can
SEE
myself , but
that isn't
really helping

empty moments being filled
with half-witted scribblings
and the twang of old guitars
but I still can feel the gaps
and I suspect I am being
sucked through them slowly

it is something like sunset

now I feel the grave-dirt of evening pile up

I now remember that on a nightly basis

some part of me dies

there is something weak inside me

having spent years clawing for escape

now all its weapons devoid of sharp edges

it is forced peaceful ,imaging itself to be content

better times to be had than imagining yourself a prisoner

there is life here
in me somewhere

as faint as campfires
in rainstorms

but still here, still powering me
and I still welcome it fully

I can feel
the cold coming

waiting to burrow
into my face

attach to my organs
drop my temperature

make me a colder person

here,
in hear
I hear
the echo of myself

I don't want
to listen any more

as it is,  all
the squealing gurgling
noises of screams internalized
I can feel the scratches
of self doubt

the pillow muffling my voice
for just wanting silence
to fuel the mirage  of peace

this is calmness and quiet
and also perfect explaination
as to why we try our best
to make noise
sounds are proof of movement
proof of life
fighting the knowledge that
most of the universe is silent

ghosts come
crawling
on my
spine
making home
this
area under
skin
this area
I
can't shed
more
haunted than
posessed

hawks came to mind

when looking for a metaphor

of these parts of me

sticking in their talons

ripping away bits of flesh

these parts of me

already swallowed by clocks

already covered in dust

that time makes of everything

but I can look back

I can remember who I was

this is the anchor  that pulls me

back home into the sinkhole that I was

here
in places
that resemble suicide
your talents seem limitless
some tricks  passed on
from native son to native son
I can remember these things
that felt like art ,  these tar filled needles
these scars that never healed
only became invisible
I look to you, spit polished until
you become a mirror
thinking Shakespeare
has written inside all of our skulls

here I
wait hoping
that love
exists but
is not
fatal as
I always
suspected it
to be,
I loved,
one died
I loved
and for
many, it
was the
love itself
that died
I am
now sick,
knowing love
more pure
than ever
known in
my life
praying now
for more
amorous time
hoping that
the hounds
of love
no longer
sink teeth
into throats
