Choice in Fire
A burning tower -
monolith eaten by fire.
The choice must be made
to find a window and jump,
Or let the flames eat you too.
Kansas, Can You Hear Me?
Oh, lifeless Kansas,
your beautiful emptiness;
endless rows of corn.
I know you killed Dorothy,
swept her far away to Oz.
Liminal Visits
The vacant hallways,
pale white corridors of dreams.
White fluorescent lights;
Hollow people all around;
A staircase that never ends.
On the Edge of Greatness
The edge of greatness
cuts deep like the sharpest knife;
rends the flesh of man
and cuts straight into the soul
with the sharpest precision.
For You
I have changed for you,
after all that we've been through.
Made myself anew;
beaten myself black and blue;
crammed my foot into your shoe.
