Vital

Vital

A beer glass gleams in the shade with condensation
Each trickle emits a sparked sensation
Solo minds behave less rigid
Collective souls become less frigid

Two watch as bodies become beats
Two consider the attempt of a reach
One propels through the rhythmic thrashing
One prepares for the awaited crashing

Incessant lips cast out hushed lure
A baited ear clings for whisper
Within these seconds it is primal
Within these seconds it is all vital

Weighted hope lies in the exchange
This societal rite that borders on derange
Yet it is something they covet
Especially when they’re barred from it

So two boys continue to transpire
It is the risk that we all admire
A few might fall among the displeased
Quick to forget that freedom is a reprieve

Reclusive Shade

Reclusive Shade
By: Jurri Saddler Jr.

My walls are riddled with sighs

Laced with a past denied

The air dense with regret’s humidity

Errors and mistakes crawl over me

 

My thoughts fall into the repetitive

At the same time become competitive

Synapses fire hard like drums

As my heart ceases to hum

 

I don’t get how tragedy pervades

Like an unfeeling reclusive shade

Left on a world that’s eclipsed

Left within a faulty defense

 

In a proud attempt to transfigure

I slash a the reflections that linger

I can’t afford the flashbacks

I can’t relive the attack

 

Yet the memory sticks like webs

Backlash creeps in each thread

On nights like this it spiders

Tension in my chest is tighter

 

A deep breath hoping to dissipate

A build up of clouded hate

Toward figures supposed to protect

From that neighborly suspect

 

So I live in mobile haunt

In solitude I feel the taunts

But I find that I can feel secure

With every drink that I pour
