in hell for people like that
it's called every day

saturn devouring
his son is an example
of paranoia

saturn devouring
his son is a metaphor
for hating ourselves

saturn devouring
his son represents time's cold
destructive forces

saturn devouring
his son is existential
loneliness and angst

saturn devouring
his son speaks loudly to my
darkest shadow self

saturn devouring
his son is archetypal
collective mind fire

saturn devouring
his son is me devouring
myself for breakfast

saturn devouring
his son is you devouring
yourself for supper

saturn devouring
his son loomed over goya's
table as he dined

saturn devouring
his son is goya feeding
on his own sad soul

saturn devouring
his son reminds us that time
will devour us all

saturn devouring
his son reminds us that time
feeds upon itself

saturn devouring
his son instructs us to make
meaning or perish

saturn devouring
his son reminds us that we
feed upon ourselves

saturn devouring
his son begs redundancy
like a moth to fire

Saturn devouring
His son. Jupiter hidden
Prophecy fulfilled

These things have a way
They will work out in the end
It has been foretold

Life is hard, my friend
Is it already written?
Still we work so hard

To strive is to live
Written on the **** house walls
There the glory shines

Amid the carnage
And defeat, Jupiter rules
Remember it thus

Once I had a boss
She had about half my brains
Just had to say it

I got fired so fast
My head spun round, I saw stars
I got to be right

But I had no job
A moth flew out of my purse
Was one quip worth it?

butterflies dancing aloft
clinging to cluster
blossoms wilted

Finally heard them
A chorus of cicadas
In the trees singing

Beautiful but sad
Signaling the pending loss
Of summer grown old

my office window like bugs
on a wet windshield

Rock-a-bye-baby
My fine horse trundles along
Soothing and calming

My tense, restless mind
The dust swirls, the trees whisper
The thunderheads bloom

Peace it enfolds me
It has been so very long
Gone today.....hurray

My tense, restless mind
is why I so often drank,
but it was no cure.
