Daily Reminders



i am reminded of the times when i close my eyes
and see the outlines of shapes that glow
against the negative that my mind portrays


i stare at a computer screen for hours waiting for the words to jump out
and sink down inside me, burrowing like small rodents



make me into a sponge, i used to wish
let me take in all i see so that when i am finally twisted tight i can let it all go



it’s not how it is, you know



when i push myself to learn, it’s like shoving hot bricks into a child’s tent;
flaming and searing red-orange flames that ripple past
the point of origin to blend with others; tight fit, round block in a square hole


and then i burn crisp, scarred in a subtle char
knowing that where it seeks the dry tinder
of hearts to fill and quench its own neediness, i have found
the crusted edge



i sigh.....



so today I work, turning back to the piles of bills that line my desk, it's here I stand where
i am captain to these troops of reality marching into quicksand


like i need those cement shoes now


you know, if i could get this hit time after time,
i’d make it a life better lived
but right now, it hits raw at night, that shove of ache
outstretched in a questing mark


can i do this, if i take it this way does it make
sense as i swallow whispers of hope?



my fingers are curled as they answer to the upper hand


where i get it…..now



TR ;)
