Dazzle Pattern Leggings
Remember how good
You looked in these?
I was thinking of
All the evenings I spent
On your couch
When you had
A pair on
Cozy,
Comfy,
Careless
Digital horizon
Black and white
Patterned
Leggings
Like the ships at sea
Crossing curvatures
I could call it
Dazzling

Have legs to carry you

Sacred Secret
Unwrapped amethyst
To reveal
More amethyst
Of a different
Composition
Thread count
Increases
Somehow to find
So fine
Unlocked locks

Podium Dark-Drinkers
We stand up
In front of our audiences
Not satisfied to hide
Our dark design
So we spew
We drink the bloating liquor
And we spew it
All back

There’s something inside of you
Like your skeleton
That lives and breathes
And manifests in your movements
It’s a force supernatural
An overwhelming power
A strength
And a disastrious chemical
It takes over your head
And then gets into your body
Until you’re a device
For a parasite of sorts
Ever heard of adrenaline?
Ever heard of a will?
They pale in comparison
To when you become invulnerable
When you’re in such sync
With the things inside of you
That lines blur between you
And the world
You...

I love this one for the reflections.
Alter Egoes
The everyman is
Consumed by the need
To don a new
Identity
Think they can be
Superheroes
With a mask, a cape
And a new name
Think that a cause
Can be elevated
By having some titles
In groups they made
And with each conflict
Or obstacle, the
Effects of individuals
Become more residual
As a hero’s power
Wanes on its own
They form these leagues
To ‘better protect’ us
Making masks out of cardboard
And creating machines in
Their homes to help defend
The names of their cause
No purse-snatching thie...

Securities
Like a pair of wings
You unfurl words
That mean these things
Flying in the air
Seeming so free
‘Till it lands
Words walk among
Teeming masses
As part of it
Every crowded sidewalk
Every clogged hall
By hearts and minds
They are a security
You can use them as batons
And as riot shields
There is nothing more
Glamorous than heroes
Toting only their voices
No thrown fist
Or super power
Just quick wit
It is a shield
And a baton
It is an entity
It’s a thing you
Can hold so dear
And be ripped from
So...
