word harvest 12.16 thru 12.31 2021

January 1st, 2022

word harvest 12.16 thru 12.31 2021

2021.12.17 – Just to be clear
2021.12.18 – Greylight morning
2021.12.18 – Gotta get high
2021.12.19 – Many lips
2021.12.21 – The mind
2021.12.22 – You die
2021.12.22 – Go fast
2021.12.27 – Half moon in sky
2021.12.28 – New water
2021.12.30 – A dragon’s blood, myrrh, copal
2021.12.31 – Want . . . need
2021.12.31 – New year

~ ~ ~

Just to be clear —
when you cheat, it’s business
when we cheat, it’s a crime

~ ~ ~

Greylight morning
wife asleep in chair
cat asleep on mantel
dog asleep on floor
fire dance
slow rain on roof
caffeine in hand
cannabis in pipe
peaceful
quiet
solitude
rain soothe
forsooth

~ ~ ~

Gotta get high
so I can drive to Heinen’s
in our hybrid

~ ~ ~

Many lips
multiple tongues
endless lies to go

Forget GPS and fuel level
lots living life
in rearview mirror

Rain on road brings worm
money-in-hand grab
dead dog denial

Sirens and flashing lights
gun shots, bum lives
welcome to the nose dive

Blood eating
nightmare now
riding edge of thrum

~ ~ ~

The mind
it’s dark in there
don’t want to go down that hole

~ ~ ~

You die
your body rots
your name fades

~ ~ ~

Go fast
stop slow
leave a reasonable likeness

~ ~ ~

Half moon in sky
one bird flying
it never ends

~ ~ ~

New water
old fish
same current

~ ~ ~

A dragon’s blood, myrrh, copal, frankincense day
so far . . .
a top a 2 deer dogwalk morning

~ ~ ~

Want . . . need
flesh . . . blood
constant compromise

~ ~ ~

New year
old year
mirror fears

Crashes: Fast, Soft, Slow, Hard / As Rock Rolls On
