Definitive Edition

definitions leave

wavering minds

motion less

Incendiary

In that instant inflammatory
Something-on-your-mind,

One thought keeps
Burning through

The darkness, nothing
To be left behind.

Wake-up Call

A blind man sang this song.

*

In my mind’s eye, I saw
A man named Nobody
Drive a red-hot stake of green
Olive-wood into the single
Drunken, bloodshot eye
Of a sleeping giant,
Twisting it until it hissed,
And the giant’s eye shot out
Blood and clearly saw
No longer.

*

Aye, my wandering companions,
The mind’s eye is in deed
A wondrous place,
But not for sleeping,
Stuporous giants.

Quiddity, As in Kraken

A super-duper

Squid up from the depths
Is what the id could be

Should the tentacles
Of the ego

Let it go.
