The Plight of the Worm

I don’t exist
outside the lines
on this page.
The physical has never
been my reality.
We have only circled
each other..
mutually unnoticed..
mutually indifferent..
My world is bigger
than this earth.
Yet… so small.
© Nathan A. Brock Like squeezing and gripping
a handful of sand
Your love dropped through
the crevices unrhymed
Defining our feelings
with each orphaned word
Lost in the random
—abandon of time
(Dreamsleep: December, 2024) A running thought of you
breathless flurry
on heavenly ground
within the skies, we trek
Feel the moon's tilt
weight, and spin
splitting light into vapor
spilling over
to swallow you whole
The memory of love
is cherry blossoms
at the end of spring
biting holes in the leaves
to let the sky in
Believing gravity is love
complete and inescapable
the first sharp pain
when you are plucked and taken
like dandelions
above the winding streams
to be touched and seen
in the valleys
we are dreams
to sail free
on a breeze, in a song
through all the curves
of a stemless note
on the back of endless wind.

The same way I like my men
I don't drink coffee.
© Nathan A. Brock And if I perish,
I shall perish beautifully
Like a star
losing its core's fuel
Bursting in a wondrous death O, crawler of the night, I pray
That thou doth not resent this day.
Hate me not that I must take
A hook to make thy belly ache.
But in this murky pond, methinks..
And as thou on an egg weight sinks,
That swimming knight in plated mail
Might be inclined to munch thy tail.
And thus be caught, yet try to sprint
From straining monofilament.
But I, Oh I, the water's lord
Shall see knight lay on cutting board.
Forgive me, friend, for this, my vice.
I'll not let fade thy sacrifice.
In verse I'll speak thy final plight..
My supper's final meal tonight.
