two pieces.............:
'no spring, today' timothy r gates, 10/27/2008

Spring comes
goes
leaves bury me
innocence gone
stolen
melancholy, accused
sometimes, merely, sad
happy
condescension
condensation
un-cathartic
non-patriotic
carotid clog
-no such providence
fall's here
winter too
summer's cessation
Lazarus' raising,
a reprieve
son of man, not there
the second time
around
no spring,
today
stained pages,
they're here
window left open,
these
blown
too.
'free will' timothy 10/27/2008

excuses
accusations
another's claim
he says
she says
i say
you say
(they say?)
no one says
god says
dog says
'devil says,'
infamous finger pointing
another shooting star
(schizophrenic angel?)
head stones don't cry
free will,
only when free
free will,
divine prerogative
free will,
progenitor release of a proto-genesis flop
free will,
when butterflies are free
(can you imagine a flipped folk version,
'pedophiles and rapists are free?'
-here goes the light piano tapping intro...)
assumption
presumption
enough.
