Weird White Words - Four Sample Poems
(Trilogy 1, Book 1, c.1984)

When
I found
the meaning
of life
I said
I said
life
in the
universe
of
my poem
the verse
it said
life
is

growth
in
an
unknown
place
one
place
the
place
alone.

There are those that live
and those that die
both have hearts
pumping warm blood
to cold hands,
hands, wanting
wanting to touch
to feel
to feel
another.

As I crawl
viciously
nervously
violently
digging my claws
into my mind
tearing
shredding
going in
farther
tearing
ripping
trying trying
to end
my existence,
by letting
it free.

Untitled, page 50

Just give me a room
I'll make one in the ground
digging digging,
digging
In my hole
there is only me
but I can't see
in or out
I wanted so bad
to be in a hole
I just can't get in.
