"Broken" (newest version)
The water falls.
Soaking dark strands.
Hiding the streams,
that grazes the edge,
of worn out eyes
A broken spirit,
closed to admission.
emotional meddling
won’t dull what’s empty,
or end this killing.
Economic raping;
Mind is shaky
Holding onto breaks-
Not the lucky ones.
The ones that maim.
It’s harder to remember,
As the mind spins
Hamster wheel turning
in repetitive motion.
Focusing on what’s broken.
No signs of stopping.
Day after day-
Sadness is gathering,
inside ruby walls.
A tightening lump
Screams shuffle in wait
short of releasing
Its harder to depress
This new repression
Dreaming of winter
Summer in squalor
Glaring life failings
Melodic lyrics cannot lighten
Tubal transmissions,
drive in celebrity.
Encrusted pinky fingers
Bottomless pockets
Disgusting extravagance
Diamonds on puppies
Turn it off; make it go
never mind-
it will be a friend-
in the sleepless night
Another meal skipped
Stress appetite full
The day will drop
Ushering the new,
Same old sequences.
Mundane pummeling-
Body falling
Leave it where it lays.
Don’t bother calling
The fee is too costly
