Mind Sprocket gives voice to simple and honest perspectives. We publish thoughts and experiences on our world. We tell stories.

Herein may you find love, reason, ballads, and epics; flying citadels, Roman pillars, broken hearts, cries of joy, and tears of all kinds.
I don’t want to corrupt another
clean white sheet with a poem.
For Beauty ought with beauty live,
And Beauty is God’s home.
And to the pure the purest give
The purest place to roam.
I burn with the same carnal, carnivorous passions,
The polygamy of the untamed
The young man who owns
Café Zia dances with a mop.
He is curious about my ear cuff.
Guess he’s never seen an old woman
wearing a lover on her ear.
The spring wind in Carlisle is a poisoned heat—
the vile sting of Zephyrus’ noxious kisses rage street
From the time you spat the nipple out and walked,
you were never mine.
I wish now I hadn’t thrown that tacky
World’s Greatest Mother plate against the wall
I would be the snow
if it meant I could cling
to you, melt on your warm skin,
bring a flush to your cheeks,
and then disappear.
Once there were no such things
as cathedrals.
if the tangerine doesn’t
fill the house with thick
sweetness.
Lets say you, even though you know I
mean I, found this ring in your mother’s
closet in a shoe box of what mattered.
