New poems by A.J. Huffman.

 

 

All Flash And Bone

 

Voided echoes dance

just beyond my eyes.

I cannot grasp their shape.

Their purpose is shady.

A memory.

Empty.

But important

in its pertinence.

 

The mysterious weight of their relevance

is cataclysmic.

 

And I am fractured.

Shattered.

Dumb-struck soundless

by lack of understanding.

Mine.

Theirs.

Ours

is a ballet.

Filled with devils and nightmares.

One step closer.

All slide back.

Into the uneasy comfort

of solid perimeters.

Subconsciously soiled

by fear.

And a pair of faceless fangs.

 

a line, (a blue one)

 

A Legacy of Candy and Cobblestones

 

I walk through night on a blind man’s dream.
Dodging buildings like bullets. With no doors
to welcome or reject me, I hypothesize
the structural resonance of the word: home.

I Leave deconstructed breadcrumbs to remind
this world I am here.

And still moving toward what remains to be seen,
the shadows hold no meaning in this dark. I embrace
their whispers. Like wings, I breathe through
their chaos. And return to face the chimeless clock
that has failed, again, to convince me
that dawn is worth all the hype.

 

 

a line, (a blue one)

 

Slurring Silence and Stone

 

You touch me.

And I echo.

Waving.

Like a scream.

I move the air.

Weaving.

Through your stare.

Until you can feel me.

Finally.

Too bad.

It shatters

my skin

to hell.

 

 

a line, (a blue one)
