my eardrums (no earplugs),
while giving sway over the mosh pit

Ed Shrader's Music Beat got there first.

Who is the one
that might wish to
obliterate the sun

as he cannot
stand to stare into
the bright

while someone who
already is shadowed
by an observer

may think
he would
disappear

in the absence
of
the light?

Disordain

My rising resists durably
Each and every
Inkling hint and slight
Suggestion
Patterned habitude
As thing to be desired
As does my retiring
Resigning as it were to
Whims of fancy
Muddled feeling
Call of rest and
Disordered repose
Rejecting every indication
Routine a proper path
Should be
For me and any
Coveted cultivation of
Eventual elucidity
I’m of a mind that any
Effort entertained by rote
Wills to obliterate
Expunge from mundane magic innate
And mimicry mere mockery make
Each aberration steadfast
Adhered to honored recognized
Point and counterpoint
Purposely make eminent
And all of life a poetry

#Excerpt from my #shortstory That Which is Forgotten
She looked down at the dark indigo energy swirling around her hands—caressing her skin in an intoxicating, sensual sensation. Glorious memories of giving and obliterating life flowed to the surface. Beautiful and terrifying, creation and destruction were two sides of the same coin. Toss it in the air and see how it lands.

Pedro (my dog companion), has unleashed a flurry of yips and yaps directed at some oblivious squirrel he can see outside the window. I wonder if he's considered eloquent amongst canines? Were I to quote him, would he be saying, "I shall #obliterate you filthy vermin! I shall scour the earth, seek out your obnoxious scent, and put an end to your species! Then I'll pick my teeth clean with your skeletal remains!" or would he simply be saying "Squirrel! Bad! Bad! No! Squirrel! Bad!"

Book banning "leaders"
in name of education
obliterate truth.

#Obliterate.
Literally: unwrite, scrub out what
Is written. What has been written
Can never be unwritten - a fallacy.
Everything can be destroyed except
Matter. I don't think my words will
Reconstitute themselves when they've
Been burned or have mouldered away,
And even if it isn't until the sun
Consumes the Earth at the end of time.
There may be souls who wander the
Voids of the dead universe who
Will recite what we have scribed.

So earnestly we try to claim anew
Those whom our folk tried to obliterate
Revealing empty holes, our souls consumed,
A thirst our violence will never sate.

Everyone’s always worried
about it’s dark side,
thinking that what’s
unseeable must be
unthinkable must be
profound. What they
should worry on is its soft
side. Love and kindness
will consume hatred every
time, as relentless as the
movement of bodies in
space through time.

The ladder was laid
against a scaffold once
meant to swing joy
into the sky, but without
that future the only thing
left to do was find a way
to walk into the sea
from the center of a
landlocked continent.

The tree watched and wept
sap upon the hillock that rose
from its roots

open the teapot
see our true self; in tea leaves
we have become no face

The spear cut through the water. It cut through my flesh. / My dreams died in a spreading red cloud that blocked out / the sun. The bare, yellow roots of the birch entangled my / body. The shaggy bear roared and I was forgotten too late.

Intrusive thoughts violate the mind.
Induces anxiety that obliterates calm.
Inner turmoil punctuates the day.
Intense memories inundate me.

The detective entered the hotel room with a frown. "I hope he didn't have time to #obliterate his traces."

"Or hers," offered the rookie, donning rubber gloves.

"What?"

"We don't know their identity." The rookie opened the wardrobe. "I mean—Oh."

"What?"

Chiffon and lace spilled out. "They left this."

"Ah, I guess you were right, lad."

"Maybe," muttered the rookie, remembering the show he'd attended the previous night.

Going through the albums, I gathered up all of the photographs. I'd been working on this all day, cutting out his face with surgical precision and obliterating them from my life. After what he had done to me, I needed to make sure that I would never see his face again, erasing him from my history.

I placed the pieces in a tin can and took them out to the backyard, along with the letters he had written, allegedly professing his love, and poured some lighter fluid over them. They went up in a burst of flames, remnants twirling up toward the night sky. It was cathartic, but in my heart I knew that even though I couldn't see him, he would always be a part of my life.

The times of witch hunts were over. The #knowledge of how to brew #hemlock would not prove her guilty of murder. Particularly not as she had taken care to thoroughly #obliterate the traces.
