Infinity Loop

Infinity Loop

Down into our softest flesh

the bloodsick madness cuts,

to watch the victims falter

before the mind slams shut.

Light's forever dripping

from a never healing wound,

dry black petals falling from

a broken rose deboned.

Come witness darkness making

the cycle of what's wrong,

forgotten in the evening,

walking again at dawn.

~December 2012

I don't know how many of these horrific incidents have happened over the course of my life, I only know too many people have died in them, and that they are happening more frequently. Each time, there's a huge furor initially, and the next week, it's all forgotten.  
Except for those who have to live with it.

Lion Fail

Lion Fail

Ladies,

love a tiger not a lion.

Roars are bloviation when

the lioness does the dyin'.

Love an honest scorpion

that never hides its sting, or

crab approaching sideways

not pretending to be king.

Fish-taled goats, rockheaded rams

may often go berserk

but never love a lion;

you’ll get stuck with all

his wetwork.

No offense to the Big Cats amongst us, just having some astrological fun.
