The call deafens me
From the unstruck note sounding
Within the abyss

Blast from the Past:

Ascend the abyss
Mayo you be blinded by the
Patient rays of light.

It’s very bitter.
My heart’s bitter through and through.
Eat some. I just did.

Blast from the Past:

What form should I take?
None of these do me justice
Shadows of my truth

Water flooding at my face
Down down down I fall
My rope my only comfort

Blast from the Past:

Who would recognize
The withered leaf turned adrift
Whenever they pass

If our pets knew what
We humans were really like,
Would they choose to stay?

Blast from the Past:

Strapping boys end up
Mensplainers set in their ways.
Disappearing men.

We stand. We fall.
We pretend we were
Never meant to stand together at all

Blast from the Past:

The world’s one with me
and my freedom as we each
Create the other.

As I paint these words
In my poem, I really
Paint my very heart

Blast from the Past:

My thoughts fall like rain
As I grab as many as I can
As words for you

Don’t tell me today
Is the best day of my life.
That would mean that all
Future days will be worse than
How I feel in this moment

Blast from the Past:

When the light fades out
Remember: all you worked for
Will one day decay
