H U M A N L I G H T
We were dancing brazenly
And laughing until we cried
I felt a strong connection
He said he felt the same
But you look at me like I was gutted of all human light
My lungs were stale from petty bickering
So he filled the silence shuffling feet
I spent the night alone
And I wanted to take it back
But you look at me like I was gutted of all human light
And you look at me like I was born inside of a test tube
Like I’ve got no brain, an inferior brain
Like I’ll taint the institution of family
Like I am the negative, the antithesis, an outlet for your violence
So it’s face conversion or eat tar and feathers on the front page
Of a magazine
What’s it going to take to see the human light?

T I M E
Clocks
Tick away, checking in and out
Time
It will not chase after you
You were so concerned that you missed it
Where did all the time go?
Watch
Fast forward, rewind, record your life
You were so concerned that you missed it
Where did all the time go?
Frozen in poses
Stuck at an arm’s length
An immobile pattern
You’ve been warned

Conviction

C O N V I C T I O N
I knelt at the pews
Reciting hymns that wrapped around
And held me close
I had conviction
Then I stared blankly
Facing the abstract painting
Hanging on the wall
I was baptized with doubt
Press pleated slacks
Dirtied when I wiped my hands
Of misused written words
No longer nestled
In the comfort of the knowing called conviction
I’ll die an old man
Without a greeting of an answer
Or a purpose
And I will know that
I know nothing after years
Of searching for conviction

Headless Chickens

H E A D L E S S C H I C K E N S
Nothing’s wrong
Go on
Avoid their eyes
Just look away
Pushing blindly
Looking for an isolated alleyway
Become a stain on the sidewalk
I don’t need help
I just have too much pride
Nothing’s wrong
Go on
Don’t just stand there
Silently
No one flaps around
Like headless chickens in a crisis
They just watch me go berserk
They’re too afraid to help
And too damn dumb to try

I N S E C T I N A M B E R // D I D Y O U F I N D I T ?
Another soul that’s proven fake
Another night that’s spent awake
Thrown off course, searching for…
One less cloud that’s passed by
One less stained glass eye
Have you yet tried to return?
Will you play the role of an insect caught in amber?
And give up your life for someone you can’t remember?
Another swing that’s bound to rust
Another leaf caught in a gust
Stuck in a revolving door
Will you play the role of an insect caught in amber?
And give up your life for something you can’t remember?
Did you find it when you weren’t looking?
Did you enter the garden’s gate?
Or just the bridge and jump?
