I’m thrilled to announce that my writing friend Clayton Moon, better known as Boxer, will be a guest poet on the blog today and several days throughout October. Boxer teaches history and psychology classes in our local high school, and has a beautiful wife and three children – one of whom I was privileged to teach and who is now a teacher himself. His wife and daughter often collaborate on his writing projects, illustrating his work.
All alone, Zombie of Me Before Dawn, Your life will be. Crackling bones, Xanthic Demon! Demonic Songs, Why have you Chosen Me- Dreaming? Every Breath a stone, Vicious Song! For Here my Creature roams, Ugly rightful wrongs! Gleaming with blood, Tomorrow I’ll retrace. His eyes yellow with crud, So fast-paced. Inside no love, Retreating from my space. Just as teeth chatter, Quietly, I leave my place. Keynotes of feelings matter, Pathogen thoughts infected. Leave, oh please leave,---- Rejected! My heart punctured and deceived- Neglected! Neglected- My punctured heart grieved- dejected! Or rejected- Leave, oh please, leave in the latter Pathogen thoughts, Keynotes of life do not matter. Quietly, shhhhhh! Justify my chatter… Running, Ruining, my face! Inside without love So fast-paced, His eyes yellow stained with crud! Tomorrow I’ll retrace, Gleaming with blood. Ugly vicious wrong! For my creature roams Vicious, ugly, song. Each breath a stone Why must we repeat this Demonic song? Xanthic Demon, Crackling bones! Your life is mine, Be. Zombie of me, A me of Zombie? Boxer Moon
