The Long Falling In

Unending verdant fields and the twinkle of fireflies
spiral in orbit around a country cottage reflecting
the sun's rich amber on cedar siding at dusk
just before the atrophy of summer's afterglow.

Nebulae of green surround the silhouette
created by a rural cabin's eclipse
of the fading sun drifting
below summer's horizon.

Earthen tones accrete around
unnatural shape then collapse
into perpetual darkness. 

Light meets darkness
as form softens.

A Light
and a Dark. Darkness|
light.

HA! You quite the poet QDS!

[Qdeathstar]

I'm glad you like the poems.

[ardly]

HA! You quite the poet QDS!

Definitely multitalented; 3D printing, dog friendly doors and poesy.

Sadly not my own work;

Stay the patient course
 Of little worth is your ire
 The network is down

[ardly]

The code was willing,

It considered your request,

But the chips were weak.

[ardly]

Printer not ready.
Could be a fatal error.
Have a pen handy?

Aaron and Abe

Thought experiments never pay out.
There needs to be actualization.
You found it without facing causality.
You avoided it.

You could not avoid consequences though.

Loops stacked upon themselves
till the weight of your mistake
ended what you loved most.

You might recreate the past but you cannot undo regret.

The Men On Trains

A sweaty invisible man drifts
toward the roar of subway trains.
Perspiration rolls down his face,
or tears, perhaps.

Finally he has a purpose.

يا إلهي ، خذني

A cold stern man sits uncomfortably
in the stench of humanity.
His blank stare diverted to a crazed
migrant yelling what he will not understand.

Finally he feels unrelenting warmth.
 
Oh god, save me.

Nothing

How easily I surrender my thoughts to flashes,
forgoing real meaning for bangs and lights blinking;
Prompted to press "a" my tired thumb bashes.
How easily I surrender my thoughts to flashes.
Texting with one eye while the other avoids crashes.
Someday i'll drift clear past center line while thinking
how easily I surrender my thoughts to flashes,
forgoing real meaning for bangs and lights blinking.

You channelling Leonard Cohen Qds?

[ardly]

You channelling Leonard Cohen Qds?

Damn, I could not figure out what Qds stood for.
Went through the Leonard Cohen playlist, looked up the latin "quater die sumendus".


Finally the penny dropped with a bang and realisation flashed.

Obviously a Monday morning and brain not functioning.

[Qdeathstar]

I'm pretty sure when it's all over, I will sigh eternally.... so, maybe.

[ChrisTenone]

I should have put the comma in.

Heritage

Six years ago my son shot up his last string of heroin
smuggled here from some South-American shithole.

And she's all I have left. My sweet girl - jailbait for unwanted
undocumented gang-bangers living tax free on my dime.

And I have to protect her. Sharia law is coming, believe me.
They said 9/11 couldn't happen but the planes still crashed.

And I have to be proud for her. So I stand for my country.
Soon as the truck fixed up i'll fly the stripes and stars.

And America has to be great for her. So i'll settle down
for a little slumber so I won't have to see her disgrace.

Is it possible to write Haikus in Hawaiian?
Just writing "Oumuamua" seems to use up five syllables.
