Die that spins and falls

the sides, side one, side four,

six, eight? White, black, white

dot, dot, dot. Die that spins

and falls.

Blood, Bones, Sweat [poem #189]

Bloodied fingers, set small skins apart

the bones that crunch in the jaws of

the dog. I am the birds feathers, strewn

across the grass. Droplets of sweat, saliva,

and blood permeate the air.

Poem #188 (Power of the Mind)

The power of the mind

comes alive in the darkness

of the dreams,

they drift and

destroy the world, fading

into the sun,

into the sky.
