Do you remember

 A church, painfully blinding in its white,

Original Average Photoshop Involving Churches
Do you remember 

Being disheveled and out of place playing 

Court to happiness wrapped

In lies and greed 


Do you remember

A church stained with glass and loss/ Resounding

With screams of laughter 

Do you remember 

The children / Soon to be lost? 


Do you remember 

A church of bone / Ringed 

By the cheery banished/ Pretending

It meant nothing at all?


Do you remember  

The sound of a million hearts uprisen

In song united / By dreams of hope?


Do you remember 

The accursed ground upon which were exchanged 

A smile for a jibe?

Throwback: Waltzing to the Tune of Rhetoric

-
Written September 7, 2010 A dark series of squiggles make their way down and across the page, in that order. Cheap poetry and lame jokes are the order of the day. For once the silence has retreated and is content to watch from the top row of the bleachers. For once there's no raining on the court while the ball's in play. There's a rose that lies at the back of my locker, wilted and fading away. It's a rose I don't expect to see in bloom again. It's a rose I've put aside, but one I cannot bear to throw away. Perhaps I should consign it to the bonfire I've made in my backyard, out of all the relics from the past. Perhaps keeping it in my locker is dangerous, for it might bloom again. Roses such as this one have been known to bloom more beautiful than before, long long after they withered away into nothing more than thin brown sticks and faded and detached petals. And in my excitement, I might just reach out and grab it again, forgetting th...
