Aroma Of August


Tops of the trees were burning white.  Sun light glittered and speckled through the leaves, leaving a canopy of perfect natural lighting.  It was clear, the air had the aroma of August, roasted slow, simmering, cooking in its own juices.  Then the wind whirled, everything became dizzy, everything became chaotic, flashes and awful noises.  This was followed by an indefinable moment of a pure peaceful, easy feeling.  Looked up, but could not see.  Listened for sounds, but nothing was heard.  Took a step, but the step didn't find dirt.  Even the aroma of August was gone, only the bitter taste of thirst was left.  Like dreaming, but fully awake.  Like really alive, but only in the mind.  Tools of the skeleton, hands, fingers, feet, legs, all pointless and useless.  Even a shrug was impossible.  Contentment.  This feeling of nothing went away quick, the weirdest thing.  In reality, nothing couldn't go away.  There is nowhere for nothing to go.  It was there all along, and is there always.

"1st Victim" by The Mayor Dumb ass.  Loses the element of surprise and becomes the 1st victim.  Add to it, he is carrying an oversi...

Maniacs And Friends

last night i dreamed i forgave everybody for anything ever done anytime before. there were fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers, not to mention extended family. then the people all around -- toilers, drivers, watchers, lovers, maniacs, and friends. things they did, said, implied, yelled, things they ignored, they insisted, they resisted. i was talking with each of them individually, taking my time, and we were committed. nods and shakes, aknowledgments accepted and replaced with a debt of some sort. a responsibility to forgive others in the same manner, slate picked clean and put up. minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and generations will pass either way.
