#poem #poetry #amwriting grizzly man

why complain of love
when you shouldn't be here

I could bite out your throat
rip the flesh from your neck
lock jaws to expose you

Why grasp for love
when nothing higher exists.

#poem #poetry #amwriting each day I pray

each day I pray for the death of Amerika
not the people, not the land,
but the fist, the crippled hand
of war, and secret empire.

each day I pray for the death of Amerika
to see the buildings turn to sand
all stripped of pride, of gold and
jewels that melt and tire.

each day I pray for the death of Amerika

#poem #poetry #amwriting #sketchbook pillars

Four pillars, fluted and scrolled, stand now in support
of nothing: in nettles, behind wire. They do not hold
the sky. Nor is there sign of what might have laden;
no twisted rust, nothing. Only in a moment, on the path
when pausing to look at a thistle half blown, do I
wonder what has been taken, and that which remains.
