pounds of grounds and ounces of dunce caps
the cup's in the corner and the mourners are aflame
waving wands to ready the table
fabled eclipse of reason and sense
waking life and rising dream
steam escapes as carbon drapes its cards deepwide
skies to fall and oceans to flood
blood and fear and wonderwhy flaring up in clear surprise
thrown off so easily
even as the day flows the bright glows of possible flicker in and out skipping stony streams and dreaming overwhelm of hopeful scopes the ropes to learn and butter churned from leftover morning steam powering clouds and other scenes allowed to develop even as the pages day by
one more time the thanks the apologies
freezing in darkness and shuttering as developments
shaking out that picture coming clear
steered away or misplayed the grace is slow in rising
let me know better
let me care less
let me know how to care more than caring

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
