Fjordscene Poetry

hammer head on wall unwittingly learning from mistakes by making more – thinking thoughts unbidden shedding light on many more – climbing cliffs unthinkingly preparing for the fall once more – staying on the ground hidden is not an option […]

leaves fallen – light stolen – heatwaves stick – thick air waves glowing dust – let rust, corrode what’s left –

molded into shape – a shapeless mold – of raw emotions hot, then cold crystallized into this shape drizzling with fears agape – come out today? i can’t – i’m stuck – did you expect expectations to break? good luck […]

i understand an outburst from me must seem unfair to you – it’s like training a cat not to pee on the floor, if it happens long after it happened the cat gets mad at you and learns nothing at […]

garbage emotions open thoughts and soil all – putrid, pungent smell of human waste in haste, in search of worth – wake up, world, night soiled your dreams again – how re-begin?

burning liquid in my throat charred words that won’t come out – i’ll swallow them down and drown them in my veins – death to my pain! –

future looming large – i do not doubt it comes – but humans in the ashes are not a certainty – the planet will survive be sure of that – it is a consolation of a kind – future looking […]

divisive / dismissive / missive echo chamber of TRUTH – enabling / enacting / actions that never occur – loudly clouded minds unfolding / emboldening / dissolving in wastes of words – what really happens is an open question since […]

friendly monster in my nightmare tells me that the fear is unfounded here and now – the scary isn’t here – “but just wait till the morning when you wake…”

urgent matter – idle chatter – heart with aches – app updates – poignant thought – distraction sought – deadline close – close to doze – friends in need – gone with speed – feeling alone – stares at phone […]

crackled eyes watch crackled earth – faint distortion overheard conversation nothing of any worth – crackled face observed unwanted – faults found where expected, solutions wanting – not wanted – crackled clocks tick time unheeded, time’s mover, why check time? […]

life laughs at me and i spit in its face in uncontrollable rage – it flies right back and hits me in the head – “revenge: i won’t let you simply drop dead – you’ll be condemned to live instead…”

icicles in veins of glass – frost from mouth called words – you cannot, were not built to last –

dried-out mummy – juices drained – feelings sprained –

think in circles – brain gurgles in protest – murmurs, pleads for rest – night – no sleep – no time – there’s all the rest to do – to think – that day won’t let me keep… – no […]

anger seeping slowly, speeding through a weeping sheen – heart still beating thinking – keen – quiet, heating – laid bare soon – seen –

emulation of behavior fails for me – being sufficiently different to make other people’s behavior seem as deviant as it really is – acting mirror – seems to be my destiny –

distant humming skull-splitting silence-breaking vanity – denigrating human beings into eager servitude in the quest for being liked for being vain – insanity –

to you – to who? to me? maybe. why write? why not? it’s all I’ve got –

I write you to life again – I would that you were my friend though you weren’t so when alive and I didn’t realize that we even could have been until I heard you had died. — to “Gustav” for […]
