Nightsploitation Some people are comets;Nightsploitation by =Jazzman1989
others just want to share
the infinite prairie
navigating undivulged
mysteries; and on the
rare chance two comets meet
in the rock-strewn vacuum,
the cobalt comas crochet
their whistling tails into Celtic knots.


Wee Wee Wee, All the Way Home Oh brother, "he-haw,"Wee Wee Wee, All the Way Home by =Jazzman1989
Who makes a house out of straw?
Certainly you're raw
From breaking mother's law;
"he-haw...he-haw"
I saw his paw.
Oh brother, in the hicks,
I will not pick up those sticks.
Didn't mother say to not pick
A house made out of sticks?
You think you're slick,
But see this nick?
He gave it only a flick.
So don't be sick,
Just light the wick -
Say, "bye, bye sticks!"
Oh brothers, do not bother,
For I am not like father.
You built those homes, despite mother,
And would build another
Before I discover
You were smothered

Gardens of the Night I sat on father's shoulders,Gardens of the Night by =Jazzman1989
Beneath starless skies;
Punched in stomach sideways,

"Cherish, darling;
Cinders dwarf time."


Fade to White My eyes are white in metaphor-Fade to White by =Jazzman1989
All color, faded from the iris.
Like Odin, I traded sight for wisdom,
And left blind in life.
Would you share my wisdom
If I showed you my eyes?
Or would you run away
When you realized
Your favorite feature faded?


Bookstore My friend asked me the other day,Bookstore by =Jazzman1989
"What percentage of your books,
Have you actually read?"
I never noticed,

Books no longer reside on shelves.
They line walls in stacks.
In piles.

Awkward
Mounds
Of
Leather
And
Paper
And discarded
Notes -
Crumpled balls
Scattered around the trash can.
I have so many books
That I wonder if there is an exit.
I constantly add books
Since you left. I guess,
I just want you to visit
The bookstore with no doors.
This picture makes me want to know the story of this butterfly. It reminds me of the idea of butterflies appearing after someone's death.
