Pause and Reflect
00:53

choking and coughing up pieces of lung
bleeding and reeking of vomit and dung
twitching and spitting and floored and struck dumb
festering, waiting the coming undone
pause and reflect
contemplate that
pause and reflect
then recollect
gun at the neck
knee in the sack
blade in the back
pause and reflect
conscious but fading and mumbling, glum
hazy and aching, decaying in sun
patient containment, indifferent, benumbed
laid with the waste of the general sum
pause

meager, beleaguered
tuned-in receiver
steadfast believer
gimme that fever
coddled and muzzled
ignorant, befuddled
enact me a bubble
let's conjure a struggle
put it to a vote!
consensus
has damn near killed us
put it to a vote!

Prey

where are you headed? what's in your way?
caught in the humdrum of living your days?
gamed by protrusion? reeled in by pay?
we've got solutions for wasting away
making a peace with your inner-most selves
bottle your essence, display on the shelves
parcel your being, exhibit the strewed
skewer the tastiest morsels of food
called in for crime
faced with a fine
vengeance in time
lording the line
broken and burdened and confined from voice
grown in the shadows, unleavened by choice
schlepped with the wreckage, been carting the horse
burnt in the cellar and smoked under force
given a sentence with no end in sight
predicate pending on who rules the right
numbered and counted and stacked on the pyre
kindled, illumined, enlightened by fire
led by a smile
cordoned with bile
halved under moon
sung final tune
sure way to survive is to mean it
certain to endure prods and squeezes
platters soaked in wine, ‘tis the season
broken, intertwined, left indecent
believe it

Feeding Time

come in close
smell the goods
feeding time
lick the lips
feast the eyes
feeding time
boneless corpse
steeped in brine
feeding time
frozen stiff
hint of lime
feeding time
what's on the menu that pleases your taste?
coronal entree? seasonal waste?
skinned with the delicate touch of the ace
kids in a blanket, women old-aged
milk of magnesia settles the base
principal flavor, elegant face
garnished with venom and prepared with hate
flayed
de-livered
liquefied
chef's special
comatose
frizzle fry
feeding time
