stoned

Youth encoded in esoteric shadows
generational gaps laps around the head
left in dust glitter and gold
tears at home mama more
the cure for stoned

Running Circles (Cernunnos 8, 0038 : 14.28.13)

Stars
running circles around my head
Eddies
running circles around my heart
peacock plume
shade from the sun
and shelter from the storm

Falling in with the crowd
the click of the ratchet is complete
what makes meek
kneeling on the ground suffering starvation
that's the bottom line
skinned red knees
mercurochrome Mama
ionized all in time
the pillars of salt in the community
keeping the roads drivable
rip and runoff
don't mind it keep flowin'
keep pushin'
beardown here it comes

Swimming circles around the throne
apparent in all its formality
no deeper did I look
no sooner did I die
reaping all the souls that are mine
come and play
I'll meet you there for I am first
and when you see the dread
in my eyes
You will run circles in my mind
and chased out
I'll meet you there
for I am first
my tears are the rain
and the universe is all
running circles around my mind
and eddies physically intwined.

Playground

They sat
and the advocate stood
where and when no one else would
the red on his clothes was blood
but you'd think it was tomatoes
to participate they throw food
and what was the argument?

Accused
so much time and lives wasted
on a freely chosen lie.

Who's to blame?
but to bribe
the impudent advocate
in the shadow
of one they don't see
but stumble over the blockage in the heart.

In this court there is no order
beyond his own.
