La Colaboración

🔷 Marmoris

The artist

a soul hungry

feverishly feeding

a greedy canvas

the pigments of eternity

A fleeting glimpse

of elusive perfection

Pieces torn

from the swirling vortex

of creation

by the sheer force

of imagination

Upon the surface

of a broken existence

an imperfect reflection

Ever a piece missing

In the blinding light

the artist incomplete

in an endless fight

against the dark temptation

of sweet oblivion

🔷 Incongruent

Words like flowers
arranged in a picture frame
Poets from good homes
I know they exist
… but I can never
remember their names
The lyrical moans
of a Memphis chain gang
… perhaps that’s what it takes
to break the rocks
To overcome the hard knocks
of hatred and injustice
To express the rebellion
brewing
just below the surface
of weaponized
confirmation bias
To expose
the nefarious purpose
of engineered bedlam
A sleight of hand distraction
from industrialized slaughter
The sacred motto
of my old Alma Mater
“Protect The Royal Us
From The Unholy Them.”
where the Master
with the whip hand
never stops to explain
or to take away the pain
of a corrupted world system

🔶 people at the library
under the influence of writing
awake and aware that reality is looped
we describe this and that with sounds
hunger pushes the tribe forward
the wounded left behind
agony tongues the night

coming ashore at your local library

words settle into retirement



THE SHORELESS OCEAN OF WORDS

–the shoreless ocean of words–

THE SHORELESS OCEAN OF WORDS



the winds carry clues too light to rest

on a surface

in constant

motion

🔷 We fearless few

who’ve gone to sea

with the familiar

even the strange

forever changed

miraculously rearranged

by a higher reality

endlessly

uncontained

May the Spirit guide you

past all that’s false

towards all that’s true

What will be will be

May heaven’s angels

protect you

as they have done for me

God’s grace at great cost

is abundant … and free

“He has made everything beautiful
in its time. He has set eternity in
the human heart.” – King Solomon

  6. Well, I tried to leave a comment, but it didn’t go through. Here goes a second try. So, I’m thinking it’s about the movie The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, and someone must light their britches on fire at some point. And because there was never a proper sequel made for the movie; I’m guessing Eastwood wants the rights so he can create one.
