In Any Way
“In Any Way”
Out running errands,
When I ran into someone we used to know.
I entertained my curiosity,
Wondering how this might go.
They asked if I missed you,
Stunned, I didn’t know what to say.
I didn’t know how to answer,
The words blurred while the music played.
I simply replied,
There was never anyone to miss.
In confusion they wondered.
How I could be like this.
So before they could even ask,
It was simple, I knew what to say.
There was never anyone to miss.
Nobody was ever there,
In any way.

Your Game
“Your Game”
Met you
quick.
Fell in love
quicker.
I think that
makes the pain,
So much
thicker.
By all
rights I should be over,
All of this
by now.
Broken,
shattered hollowed out.
But it doesn’t
help even if I shout.
From an early
age I knew,
I knew I
should never fall into love.
Still I did,
Did I believe
that I was above?
Was I conceited?
Or just
taking the chance?
I was so
taken in,
Paralyzed by
the oh so simple dance.
So, I rolled
the dice,
I suppose there
is no shame.
After all
these years I still wonder,
What was your
game?

Broken
“Broken”
I feel so
lost.
That I fear
I am broken.
And there
are no words,
That can be
spoken.
I am the
one,
Who became lost?
In that
moment,
I never realized
the cost.
Broken,
Does not,
Speak much
to,
Unbreakable.
I guess I am
not,
That.

3 Days
A friend of a friend,
Had a baby that died 3 days later.
How do you recover?
How do you mourn just 3 days later?
I mean how do you mourn,
A loved one you never had a chance to know.
How do you move passed that?
With no memories to show.
How do we do that?
It is not right it is not fair.
I lack the words,
And who am I to even dare.
To put words,
To such a tragedy.
Who do I think I am.
I just had to get it out of me.
It is not even my place,
To offer the words.
It is so sad.
3 days, too bad we cannot,
Cross worlds.

Just One Year
“Just One Year”
It’s been one year,
Today.
I’m not even sure if that’s,
Okay to say.
Today was harsh,
It was not okay.
If you sum it all up,
It comes down to.
Today.
Look back and just one year,
Doesn’t seem very far.
Tomorrow can be quite different,
From where you are.
Just one year,
Yes, I hid my tears.

Month One Day Six
“Month
One Day Six”
I
cannot say for you,
But
it makes me sick.
Just
thinking of,
Month
one day six.
I
am still struggling,
To
find some sort of fix.
We,
all of us did not pay the boatman,
On
the River Styx.
You
horrendously wretched,
Left
over,
Hounded
over soulless,
Pile
if sticks.
Oh
no,
We
all did not give you the coins,
To
cross The River Styx.

I Killed My Dad
“I Killed
My Dad”
Do not wish
me a happy birthday,
This year.
I am torn
apart,
With tears.
A simple
glass of water,
I said
no, the doctors said.
He should
get it himself.
That is
what they said.
So, I did
what they said,
To make a
point.
To take a
stand.
I simply do
not,
Understand.
What was I
fucking there for?
What did
it fucking mean?
Do not wish
me a happy birthday,
The moment
is all that remains.
It makes
me cry,
That
within the moment.
So
selfish,
I killed
my dad.

US
“US”
Our Capitol
was overcome,
By Us.
We in our
absence,
Will
never free us from trust.
If we were
passive,
If we
were aggressive.
It does
not exclude,
Us.
Point fingers,
Apply blame,
Avoid any
sort of,
Shame.
We or
should I say,
Us.
Is it
ironic?
That Us.
Is the
same as U.S.

Change
“Change”
God after
all of this,
I must
seem like an ass.
As if you
can look through me,
Like a
pane of glass.
Change I
assume,
Is the
operative word.
Untethered,
With
sails unfurled.
Change
very much,
Has occurred.
Much like
many of us,
Have endured.
Change is
what it falls to,
Change is
what it boils down to.
It all
really boils down to.
What you
are going to do.
Change.

The Embers
“The
Embers”
The
embers are fading,
I live in
the dark.
As far as
I have tried.
I cannot
find the spark.
Ashes and
ashes,
Are always
the same.
Drawing
circles in ashes,
Is that
all that remains?
Shoved
and pushed,
Forced down
to the ground.
Cry out,
cry out.
No one to
hear the sound.
The
embers have faded,
I live in
the dark.
I have
tried and tried,
But there
is no spark.

Life
“Life”
Should I
crawl out?
Am I worthy?
Was I too
weak?
I find it
hard to see.
Am I
deserving?
To be
reinvited,
Back to
life?
Am I disinvited?
From
life.
I am far
to broken.
The words
just fall out,
Some must
think I am joking.
Should I
even try to,
Crawl out
of this ditch.
Bottom line,
Crawl,
walk or run,
Life is a
bitch.

The Rooms Are Empty
“The Rooms Are Empty”
The movers came today,
All of my rooms are empty,
I suppose a lot,
Like me.
I feel like a bitchy winer,
Like me the rooms are empty anyway.
A lot like me.
I have no voice left.
To speak with anyway,
The rooms are empty.

Sleep
“Sleep”
The thunder rolls,
The rain is torrent.
Who am I to struggle,
Against the current.
I just want,
To sleep.
Will I ever do that again?
A sleep so deep.
I am so tired.
I long for a retreat.
But honestly,
I just want to sleep.

After 2 AM
“After 2 AM”
So, it is after 2 AM,
Even after my sleeping pills.
I probably take enough,
To make a baby elephant be still.
They are going to come tomorrow,
To pack my things,
Then on Saturday,
They will move me again.
I know that this,
It is for the best.
Yet I feel that I am failing,
This test.
So, it is after 2 AM,
Even after my sleeping pills.
I probably take enough,
To make a baby elephant be still.

Evicted
“Evicted”
I happened today.
Gutting my
niece and nephews’ part.
All of it,
It breaks my heart.
So tomorrow,
I intend to call
my packers,
My movers.
Pac up this
where I have never bent to live anyway.
So, I will be
very gone.
Many of you may
stop and ponder,
I have been in
a place,
Like this before.

hopelessness
What would
someone wish for. I would think, for a peaceful moment, that for a moment. For
a minute pushes aside our venomous attitude’s. We, for the most part, have
offered our observations, being so opinionated may have obscured our
invitations. Are we all as blind as blind as we see another’s? A cousin, a niece, a nephew, or a sister or a brother
even a father and a mom. For me I feel lost and hopeless. In this hopelessness,
I should find strength in my family, yet all I find, is the hopelessness. Even
so much as I knew the young ones hated it, some actually despised it. But at
least in those moments we, even if falsely, in the moment, were united. – Danny
Gunter 10-19-20 (It might not be good, but it is true, and those who know, know
that it’s true.)
The Entrance
"The Entrance"
My heart
was,
The
entrance.
Is it too
wrong hoping?
It was my
way out.
Am I
wrong?
Too many
years I believed,
My heart
was beyond.
Finding a
soulmate, a friend.
Color me
shocked,
When it
all was a lie.
And it
was,
Tricked,
a lie and I cried.
Those involved
know,
Right now,
in this moment I am touched,
Those
involved wish not,
Be named.
But you
and I know your names,
Despite whom
I could,
You can believe
in your hearts,
I do know
your names.
Had it
been a knife.
I would have
blead to death.
But you
covered and lied when all you had to do,
Was so
simple,
Just tell
me the truth.
I hope you
got more out of the lies.
Then I
did despite.
Believing
in you.
Seeing
what was true.
I do know
your names,
How
invaluable I am to you.
But I
will grow distant and apart.
From what
is left of you.
Go and F yourselves.
