Lifepoems

Like a repulsive, dying swine
or timid and docile worm,
smashed and soggy on the street,
I have dragged my half-dead corpse
across the cement of
my own futile and hopeless
sinful ambitions, only to
find that tomorrow is just
as razor-sharp as yesterday.
* * *
Shades of gray
Replace the certain
Blacks and whites
Of yesterday,
As ancient, solid stones
I once stood firmly upon
Begin to ooze and melt
Into Jell-O beneath my feet.
* * *
I have tried and failed
to tell you my guilty, unsuspected secret
of this familiar pain that lives still in me
hesitantly, with numb and trembling hands
I have tried to tell you
but caught instead by your gentle glance,
I tumbled blindly back again
