measure the man

25 April 2013 by Jason

the volume of life.
like the inside of a sphere.
measure of a man.

deep well

22 April 2013 by Jason

the babbling brook weeps.
no one comes to drink of late.
yet the well springs forth.

death be not defiled

21 April 2013 by Jason

the gloaming and roaming over the loam.
picking at the crusts of the day.
the dry hours crispy and burnt.
the day another leathery tail to the whip.

the sun bloodied up against the horizon.
the last breaths of a lost battle hard fought.

the night watchmen with their inky paint.
sprinkle zirconium against the purple haze.
watch us kneel and follow our gaze.
the prayers of twig men catch in throats.

flop like dying fish caught at night’s moat.
the singing moon a mute eyeless orb.
the prickly stars blinking yawn.
the darkening blue canvas sinking black.

so much can be said for the night ethereal.
so much can be dead by the noctis funeral.

hide behind the breath of time.
hang to the ragged cloth for doing the crime.
watch the night men mime sublime.
bend on knee and pray for day.

huddle in the puddle of your own bile.
for to live is vile but death will not be defiled.

mental mathemagics

20 April 2013 by Jason

a square triangle
is bigger than my tiny brain.
math solves the problem.

On Poetry

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
E.E. Cummings
