the water does not scald as it should,
despite my pinkened feet.
it is eternal -- the filth -- I think,
and every action has some immoveable permanency
I wish was mere mud
on boots,
on floor,
to tend to at 3 AM.
but I can't lift these sorts of stains
for the life of me.
(A poem on self-loathing, along with a few more ambiguous meanings)
The Trap Door in the Floor of the Sky Above the Atheist
I unearthed my god
but now they were in the wrappings of symptoms, of suffering.
Even more so in the rebound of that pain: the prodding over the tender, the wincing.
Then the face in the release, the relief.
That light so often described,
only different, as I found it illuminating
even the mundane corners
of life.
