drowning courage

demon out there thinks big
editing faith and trust
playing with my delusions
i forget Paul made the shore

ization ( I like the end of some words)

lines of unpredictability in ice
frighten
the fool of truth,
Peter walked on water and why not
good words always slide off the page to play
love is the double letter of one
and
when i wash with weeping i will be kind
realization
flows

unfailing

fear pages flip and flip my screen
herds and herds of cars never snooze
guns in pockets here and there

a sing is still in the blue sky
love has ears
ps.44.26

muzzle confessions

mourning flowers blossomed
sad darkness left
coffee kissed
i tripped
the dog in my tongue
barked
the guard was gone




PS.39.1

so salt

What!
salt keeps coming in my head
it drinks my water
I become i
and do not see





PS.40.12

vindicate

words thick and glue spread on me like peanutbutter and jam
his lips licked the knife wet and slick
i disappeared inside my cracks

weeping Christ appeared




Ps.43.1

striv(ing)

my tumor is ing

i like ings held in hand
i like ings that are things
i like ings in my hynms

cutting out ing didn't sting






(ps.46.10)
