I asked grandpa

if he'd take moose

when he passed

"Yes."

replied the wind

[writersblockletters]

there are words

in the back of my vocabulary

that i will never use

Im not saving them

not even for you

[writersblockletters]

desperate inventions

all words were shouts

thrown into darkness

from the tops of trees.

economics

water follows the keyline

down the ridge to the valley,

collecting sediments and energy

depositing in a bountiful lome.

as with the mountain and the rain

currency follows a cycle,

but the lome in the valley

must trek up the mountain

depositing itself on the peak.

the letters

it always rings false. a transmutation doesn’t lead to gold, and if it did the expense would always exceed the gain. don’t take it from me I only ripped that bit from a much smarter man, like one of those shit-birds that swindles its plumage from the fowl of higher esteem. that’s why I burned the letters the words were written  by another man, who’s rapidly shedding some  magnificent feathers

[writersblockletters]

God may have made the flood

but man made the dust bowl.

From then on he's left the smiting

to the experts.

[writersblockletters]

infinite is time

in pregnant pause,

savor the bounty

of actions yet taken

[writersblockletters]

who's the fool?

anyone can concoct a lie.

It takes no skill to create

an assemblage of

character traits out of enough

anti-heroes to appear compelling.

'Course, theyre compelling authentically.

what will you do when I draw my gun?
