Recovery

 sanity tidal
hospital bed

awareness waning
of what
people did
of what
people said

memories flow
dam broken
catch them
lifetime grown

surface hits
little sense
observers wonder
cycle pensive
unsure of
impending yonder

Love medicinally
will replace
ugly iv
breathe, stand

even if
figuratively

ceasing

 Last breaths uncanny as they are

Life sharp as an eye

last thoughts strange riddles

unsolvable in the dyer

unthinkable in the liver


Last glance as neutral and confusing as birth

you may as well stack balloons

and blow candles

for the surreal shiver of mortality soon

reflect in the steel coffin handles


Last breaths uncanny

A man that taught me to manage

slipping into the outgoing tide

beard below the waves

 we reach for a moral to the story 


yet it´s a fleeting and arbitrary moral

floating past 

one last downpour on the heart

last breath to speak a word

inside the balmy mess of delirium


each wayward word landed well

as the essence inside has no desire to dwell

some invisible realm undiscovered, he is there

toiling like the lost farmer behind his absent stare

Triumph fiercely

 Father near me since the factory of my existence

Father taught me a depth of mastery

through his blunders

through his triumph



He came in from the sweltering heats of delirium

burned and shocked

struggling in the rough existance of a troubled mind


from a desert so dry and empty

mindnumbingly endless

I give you forests

streams

contentment forever


I wish it on you

some form will come into focus

not hostile nor malign

but healing and loving

joining you smoothly to the departure


be transformed by it

thought and reaction melts

watch over us as we continue to blunder

and with your blessing let us triumph fiercely as you have
