Breaking
Her sky was burning crashing down around her
there was fire in the sky it burned so brightly she could
not see that her whole entire world was gone she lost her
breath laying on the ground tears began to fall down her face
washing some of the darkness away those tears fell and fell
until the fire was out and she found her breath with her last bit of strength
she stood up l...

Bread and Roses
For your information; the video below is sung in Yiddish, with English and French subtitles.
In forty-eight, I came into this world,
whose peace, they say, was won at cost immense:
I’m told that I should genuflect and bow,
to those who worship those old gods of war,
yes, I should heed the Christian warriors’ words,
who preach from pulpit and from podium,
and show respect ...

Live or Wait?
I don't know where it comes from
This pain I carry in my chest
It’s a weight I don't understand
But I keep going, as if the burden were my truth
There’s something inside me
A desire that gets lost in the shadows
But I insist, I insist
Because, maybe, there’s no other way to be
I looked into the abyss
And the abyss didn’t look back at me
Only the silence echoing within
And I, trying to b...

Screen break
It must be time to get up
Any excuse to fill my cup
To get out of this chair
To take in some different air
The mechanisms are tense
Cornea, Iris and the lens
Focused and sharp
Like a razor to a harp
Capturing images, light and perusing
Peering across a radient sunset, percieving or sewing
Better to be absent minded staring into distance
Than screens burni...

Hoping she holds her breath
Agitation eats at my chest due to my un-feathered yearning for this person, she cannot begin to think about what she wants other than the bare necessity of breathing.
Which implores me to wish she didn’t need to breathe, selfishly, so that I can then be an option for her. I'm sure another necessity would take sprout.
I’m not sure who is the root of the problem. A possible s...

Pain
it's a grey morning fog
hazing over the landscape; the person ; love.
it makes distant .
further away then it really is,
it blurs the lines.
whispers,, "you are alone "
it's white noise
hushing the love of the Sun
drips into the earth between the soft skin of your feet
makes slippery what you reach for
An aeonian drab
a monochromatic moan,

Whispers of the Endless Ache
The sky, that cries all night, without a break
The pain in fields turns into sorrow’s song
Ah! Who am I, lost, walking through the ache?
Is it just a dream, or agony so long?
The sea, the waves break strong upon the shore
And I, in vain, seek out a resting place
But winds that drag me leave me evermore
And carry me beyond, with endless pace
