Discontent

October 2, 2012 by Chris G.

Fire-side Harmony

Fire-lit we see

the bliss that lay beneath the sea

for harmony is a shifter thing

a hope no mortal hands can bring—

that we, coddled in the blanket bliss

can only paddle glimpses soon to miss;

we lack the fins, the constitution

to see the ease be shunned.

Martel and van Over have friends for dinner an...

Like a Rock

I would rest my faith against your breast

but human pace is never still

you’d bear me out into the glass

shattering with smiles and discontent

solitude’s press, its lonely words

–straight like a rock, to malcontent.

Strange Little Bird

Strange little bird,

fluttering neither here nor there,

never living, never flocking,

even if we ever might so dare.

Sitting, cooing, drooling,

always thinking its the world he’s fooling.
