A Phone's Diary
A Phone Diary
• An Alarm
all it takes,
a shiver and
a light
to remind me,
forget me
when the now is
all I contain
accepted through,
passed by,
the burned past
flashes of
accidental things
your smooth wallet
your notebook
your rusted shoes with sand
just rise above the whole line
crash into a forgotten bag
and they
signify so much life to me.
• A Hidden Sunset
Mist of fog
Cover my line of sight
With dots of blue and
Drops of time
Just one hole to give
Satisfaction to my rays
To screw every cloud
And stain it with yellow and orange and
Undo some reds on the sheets of whiteness
To crack the awareness of a soul’s view
That eschews the scattered birds
And infected spots that cover
Every true expression on
Flat sheets that drink every drop
Of dew to reflect the reflection of me
And plant a smile on a forgotten
Face that is free
As my alarm knocks on the words
To awaken a dejection spree
• Footprints
Out of blackness, I see
Grains subside to welcome a print of human existence
On its senses and pride;
Shadows bold the alien edges that are
Left behind to cry on every memory
That came through me
With every stride, I connect numbers through
Time that divide past and present to be files
With folders in faded fires ; pictures confide secrets
With my screen to be saved in sacred corners of
My steel body. It was implied to ignore the prints
and conceal the proof of life within death as I reveal
images to be burned in this magnificent
ordeal of how time can decide to end
the breath of a puerile beauty and put
aside every scream, every tear and let
the wave peel those footprints and
I watch your existence wash away
