Backstage Concert

The blue hue on the 
Black Violin
Light beams shine
In the haze
Noises lured by the
Anticipation
A cacophony
Sound waves thriving
Picking humming
Vibrating thumping
Hidden in darkness
Behind bright lights

All My Keys Don’t Have Locks

Blue black barriers
You can’t talk to invisible monsters
Needles hold happy thoughts
Bottles carry the anger
Suitcases weigh two tons
Dreams only come true if you buy them
The kitty cat kicks around the conundrum
Who has time for fairy tale partners
The tattooed trees don’t speak anymore
Death’s doorknob dangles
The sidewalk’s grift is flawless
I want the boardgame to end
