Looks of new

What way should I look at you
You've seen me now
Your looking tends my form
A little closer
And we close the captions
Into words
But I still cannot know you
You in your grace of time
Grace of place
Place me outer bounding 
Each step I face
So
Which way should I look at you
Because Where old habits die
In the closet of needles nails and points
Driven out from driving
These resorts are left to me
These are resorts
And see me this
I'd love to drill a spike
Brushing brilliant bites
Of smooth through the bark of your hair
And there where my tap could tip
The spirits straight from the top
I'd surge away the pensives
And then how may I look you then
For I won't let a look offend
But even filling with your juices
I will not let you be my end

One whole sky

It looks like I've forgotten.
Only a single point of pinning
Pressing skin beyond thickening
Veil no more vessels sail
Like a single star to guide me
To or from there is no more
The star is sky 
And still a pin
Pricked upon a cup of gold
That I keep sipping
Through my bowels
Out my gunnels
Into a plaster-placid place
Left to lace a placid face
And redesign the world around me
It looks like i've forgotten gold.
And must learn to below me

Universe in a moment

Hold on
As i flip through pages of a history book
Hold on
As I counter my fears
Opening another
Yet merely read the same
21 centuries
Many yet made
Many yet hiding 
Many yet known as been
More even known but left for dead
As some hussies dream
Or an empire of a rat
Hold on!
I could have sworn I read it somewhere
I swear they're out there
Somewhere
Can't you hear the history pages
Writhe and wriggle with spaces
Like openings unto 
A dungeon dimension
Where all good memory
Whether scarce of parchment
Or scarce of belief 
Fails to find reverie

I tell me

Take it quiet 
Take it slow
But don't deliberate, you fool!
Incorporate
And fascinate
Like 
the depth
Of the common 
swimming pool
There are people listening after all
It's your head they want
It's your eyes they want
Did you think all of experience
Summed itself by the time you took
To write it?
When you missed the beat
Could you remember ever
Time taking time to coddle?
No?
No.
Good.
It's clear then
It's your job instead
To take it quiet
Take it slow

Blade basking

Metadive
Narrowdive
Pixiedive
Metaldive
Throwing

Blade basking
Forward know
Flow flashing
Hone nil
Throwing

It's a cutting thing
I could care less if you understood
Which means I care a lot

Tricks

Tell me try
By tritonic executions
To trip the traps
Till circumlocutions
Cur the turbid trill 
Of me.
To flee

Tricks

Tell me try
By tritonic executions
To trip the traps
Till circumlocutions
Cur the turbid trill 
Of me.
To flee

Teacups

Three cups
Tea cups
Colossal calls of candid
Consciousness

Bright 
Bright breaking shafts
Of golden light

Three wavered 
Well mannered
But
Unhampered 
Hallmarks to the dirigible
Sense of burden
All marked
Over each of us:
The beat
Clipping leaves
From our suddenly-simple
Trees

Clear
And though clearing still
They're nevernear

Three glows
Tea knows
Cups of sunstone standing
A Calling of wisdom herself

Sun tea

Can you be 
Still 
For the moment 
I make this real
And steep a deep
Breath 
Till complete
Like a summer soaked
Symphony
Splashing light and airy
Wafting 
Illuminating 
A cup of golden tea
Vivantic and still
Pretending to be asleep

The full stop

She crashed the plane today
Sent the boiling wreckage 
To embrace the earth in fold
And let the pressured metals wild
For future settlers to admire
As if nothing else existed 

She crashed the plane today
After a handcheckBagcheck 
Emergencywaterlandingcheck
Let the dull blade of fear slap avross her jaw
Without the decency of cutting out
The heart that everyone hears now
Ticking as if a part of the works

She crashed the plane today
As strokes of her sweat beat 
Into brazen rhythms 
The curse chants of the ancient people
That we forget are locked away inside of us

She, the foreman 
Helms the deck of weary passengers
Bringing up the savage spirit
But in a song of tonal inverse
Captain piloting by its words
That lull by the brainwave 
That pulled wise to the cave
That throw humen to raze

As if it was to raise

Culture cravings

Let's divine. Culture
All you need is belief 
That a sheaf
Of fleet-sweets
Wreathed In the fire of a collapsing soul
Can breathe easy
 leaping Steeps
Reaping feats of expression 
That could shatter the old
And there you have it.
You've divined some Culture 
It's good an bold
But you just need
These trigger happy
Sappy- sick tigers
To quit the addict writ 
Of the second rate interweb wit
Rolling through selfdom
And purpose from
A "God knows who!"
a "who knows where!"
And "Where are you,  god!"
And deal with it.
So our friends 
The denizens of closed world postures
Caving to craving screens
Can scream the velocity
Of the powers unseen
And zen the when and how
Of to offend
Breaking chemistry into our woes
Ruining the vultures on belief
Let's divine. Culture
At the very least 

Culture cravings

Let's divine. Culture
All you need is belief 
That a sheaf
Of fleet-sweets
Wreathed In the fire of a collapsing soul
Can breathe easy
 leaping Steeps
Reaping feats of expression 
That could shatter past the old

And there you have it.
You've divined some Culture 
It's good an bold
But you just need
These trigger happy
Sappy- sick tigers
To quit the addict writ 
Of the second rate wildfire
interweb wit
And deal with it
Rolling through selfdom
And purpose so seldom
from A "God knows who!"
a "who knows where!"
To a"Where are you,  god!"
And deal with it.

So that our friends 
The denizens of closed world posturings
Caving to craving screens
Can scream the velocity
Of the powers unseen
And zen the when and how
Exactly to offend
Breaking chemistry into our woes
And veins splitting open rain pain
Dissolving vultures of disbelief
Let us culture some divine
At the very least 

Five pebbles of the Roman God

First point of context: I am of roman descent, I believe. From the romans that lost themselves in england as the empire fell apart. I know tht my history has been since then exceptionally american. We were trappers, gold miners, and explorers. Every man in our close history has either gone adventuring, or lived a life that precipitated adventure. I believe very fully that the spirit of the setting sun and adventure nestles in my bones, whether or not it does. 

Second point of context: I love the story of david and goliath.  I remember a picture from my childhood storybook bible, and I will never release myself from this myth. David is charged, as a boy(as a roman boy, by the looks of my little book) to find five smooth stones by the riverside and to go and face goliath. He slays the giant with only one. 




Pebbles of the Roman God

I have 
Five pebbles
Just like 
Five seeds
All my own
The stones
Remind me of home
Migrant of rome
To challenge he
Who makes the land rumble

I have
A small man
Just like
A best friend
That I will never understand
Childlike,
He sows 
And he knows
That truth and justice betters all blows
He's the undistinguished  unmasked maker
Here to represent the savior
Passionate through the lord's own heart
That you've been looking at
Through a strange sepia strength
That you've developed at length
To milk the justice from his claws
To scream out beauty from his paws
But which never seems to give
It takes
Because you just can't create god for god's sake!

So now I have
Five reeds
Grown from
Five seeds
That seem to wander from my needs
Like the roman sentries 
That scoured the mist
Of a land lost in the ocean
Of chalk and moorish cliffs

Where is your empire now?
My friends,
Who is your savior now?
Because I don't know 
I never will

So while we're here
While we're left in our wasteland
And break the virgin snow
why not let these pebbles grow
