Scatter Bitter Slither sweet eccentric stratic on my cheek Evolve Shatter Wither Sour streak a little lock lets have a peek Rotate Splatter Golden splock seek we the meek for a week System Peek peek peek Understand Comprehend Acknowledge This and that are nothing and everything in between Is this really a wall? Is there no way through? Are you locked here? Where is here? I don’t have a clue All the power and all the might Flimsy and thin in my hand The strings that dangle and dance I am a man, am I a man, but I can manage My shoe gets stuck, a kink, a trip I fall, to what? from where? how far? Here I need chains To hold me back Set my limits Measure standards A challenge to comprehend And have none Only a blank chasm Between what? Not falling, not standing, just existing And all forms of progress have turned to goo Death in my eyes looking forward and nowhere in particular Dazed except the rats in my mind somewhere in this Dancing and crawling for an audience of two or three My tongue gets dry My eyes get dry and hurt Steady stare With my now futile brain Bad confidence He is God and not me Corruption is caused by holes in obedience to God. |

I like what you're doing with this series of poems, Craig, and I especially like this one. I like seeing you explore the dark side of spirituality, for it better preps you to defend your soul against it. And as for the "dancing and crawling for an audience of two or three"...I can't help but be reminded... "For wherever two or more of you are gathered..." There is Love. Inspire on! Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere |

Yeah, it is true. He is awesome. -GIS John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. |
