God

God is every thing

everything is God

The Alchemist

Her tender craft at making potions

supple alchemist with acumen

juices joy with sprinkled citric acid

three or four dashes of sesame oil

nose her gauge and taste her guide

sweep of smoking sage purifies

for Sunday Whirl:

Feelings

Anxiety and Despair

Anxiety is red

despair is yellow

mixed together

they are orange

like a pumpkin

I carve a big 

fake smile

more a grimace

while wax melts

like tears 

Jesus

"J"

Jesus, it was a hard day
not meaning to use your name in vain 
rather calling on you to hear me

Jesus, I know I am flawed
I could do things better
I am calling on you to hear me

Jesus, it is so damned hard
forgive my cussing
I am flailing at heaven

Lichen

Like Lichen

Outcrops of rocks
covered in lichen
clinging barnacles 
mussels adhere
waves crashing

beyond the rocks
ice plant in bloom
King's Highway
houses cluster 
up the hillside

Anaphora

When I became delusional

was when I knew I was blind

when I knew I was blind

was when I was delusional 

Cement

Cement

cumbersome pelt
weights me down
smoke laden

dark night stars
bright

entranced
reluctant
stray away

senses dense
murmur
no maps
