    Prayer for the Fake Middle of the Month.

    Pray…
    not to gods,
    not to ghosts,
    but to the middle
    of this faking month,
    this sagging spine of April
    where the days begin to wobble
    under their own weight.

    Pray for the midpoint,
    the lukewarm center,
    the hinge where nothing happens
    and everything threatens to.

    Because…Read More

    Someday Soon

    Desperation fuels chaos in the streets While false idols continue to make war Honest poets keep writing the receipts That’s right we’ve been keeping score   Someday soon judgment catches us all Pride hits hardest when forced to crawl   Evil people are cowards speaking in lies Hiding...

    • Raise a marshmallow to soon! It’s well past time. And again, another one that fits as well as the day it was mused, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Raising a marshmallow to soon! Unfortunately it fits because things have gotten worse, but us poets and poetesses are quite good at keeping account of all the receipts. Appreciate you.

    • Great piece Damian. You’re the spokesperson for the demise of our country. This piece is remarkable.

    • Powerful work, my friend. Excellent.

    • While false idols continue to make war, this work summons a Jesus who refuses salvation and a Non‑Jesus who refuses erasure. They move like twin shadows, circling the wound the world keeps reopening. Nothing here seeks redemption. Instead, the performance asks who is allowed to carry a name that has been used to bless both mercy and violence. The ritual is not an answer, it is a reckoning.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s a deep analysis brother. Appreciate you.

    slapping words into phrases
    hoping they make any sense
    breaking it into sections
    so I don’t lose momentum
    but my energy got up and went
    and I’m left scrambling and outta breath
    it’s one helluva workout…
    for a pen with rusty muscles
    drop and give me…Read More

  • April 15th – The Hour of Blocks, Locks, and the Moon That Refuses

    April 15th strikes
    not like a day
    but like an hour:
    15th o’clock,
    a time that does not exist
    and yet insists on happening.

    It arrives as a block,
    a solid interruption
    in the flow of April,
    a square of time
    that refuses to melt
    into the rest of the month.

    Then c…Read More
