Starry night

Nothing 
I want nothing inside me
But thoughts
Passing through 
At the speed of light

While they slept


Lacking any pressing appointments
--Maybe a sun to explode 
Maybe a system to reset 
One of these trillenias--
And Having set down the curses
Of creation
On some distant planet
They must have left it all
To rest the fall
And winter 
Away

What surprises when they rise
And find their monsters and their men
And find the pride of their dreams
Come to life in the dreams of ant-worth wanderers

These magnifisenses may not be
 the trees and mountains of their reverie
But lacking any pressing portraits
They are yet made
And the world is yet made
While they slept the fall
And winter
Away

Straight load

Thank you for the train
Though it hauls nothing but naked stems
And the trails of human wanderings
And the scent of stripped bark
The rail cleans crisp
And the lumbering loads move on
The trail burns cold
Orange, like the blood
Of a little city at night
Though I can't condone 
The creature contempt to kill for comfort
I Thank you for the trails

In recollection of when it all ends

The late space 
Begins to permeate
So now to go out


The sidewalk ended a long time ago


Do you know a man?
Well, no. I've never even heard of it
Never heard of it?
Well, no. What are you getting at?
Sorry. Just asking. 


The sidewalk broke but we still know


The past tenses 
Beg and plead 
Like bones of dogs 
Who were nothing but happy
To be alive

The past tenses
Into a knot 
That doesn't bleed
Dried husk And fried 
Fraying into the breeze


We still know the way 


It past and says 
Good morning sir, beautiful dog
What dog? 
Your corgi, sir.
What morning?

That's the dawning 
and then sadly
Lights go out 
Not the inner lights, though
They must be on emergency power


Every particle knows its way


The past plays 
And for days 
You can hear it
Some have touched 
Some have feared it 

The past plays 
Pantomimed
They shrined, shrived, divined
Beautifully
And without realism


Particulate poised to plummet 


And in the emergency hour 

And in the moment before,
You never knew there was time between destruction and death

And you never knew that time 
Was already gone


You look
Over the sea of black 
But you cannot help looking back

11/16/14

To be a plural

It's cold in bed without cute girl
It's a colder thought in plural 
I respect a human 
Walking alone
Like the turtle walks
While yet at home
But I fear the lonely 
and I fear their ploys
Or else out of me I'll be 
Cute boys
And them only cute girls

11/3/14

Tentacled

I am born of earth 
And the swill of the skies
As they take their fill of flowing 
From the stationary things
Passing by

I would 
That I had a claw
Just one 
With which to pry the break of the waves
And ascend to sunlight

But the depths decide
And the depths reside
In each of us
Within as without

10/29/14

Snakes

Look at here 

And what a way we are:
Interlocking scales
Interwoven tissues
Plied into arrangement 
Of the preening king and queen

And at what a way we dive
Splitting seconds
Slashing instant
Breaching the fore
To foray feeling from our mouths
To deliver venom like treason
Of the self 
Of anything else but the other

And at what a ways we stab us senseless 
Despite a heinous crowd of onlookers
And good-lookers 
And thieves and witches and wives
And wonderers

And at what a way we take
Each other

Blue bowl

If you could imagine it
I'm sitting at the bottom of this bowl
A firm place to sit
Of a seminal blue
The form of blue
Leaking
Up the walls of the bowl

I took a look once
To see where bleeding color
Disseminated
To the rim of my bowl
A cloudy white, forsaking its mother blue meaning
There's a plate directly above me
A confusing dance of browns and greens and watery blues

I considered once
If you could imagine it
The possibility of living
On a sphere in the sky

10/18/14

Circus

I'm at once ready to say a million things that aren't mine, but nothing gets out. Impractical as I know it is, I gape at you for a good minute. Too long for a pause of casual significance. I can feel the close of a meaningful pause into a barren area of elapsed time. A horizon of sensation finally trickles in after the third minute, reaping a letdown that perhaps plays into the mood. Plays into the mood. I look up and there's a glint of fervor at your chest, and the yellow torchlight dresses you in plaintive glow. Coalescing in your cheeks your forehead, and the direct reflections of your skin, you are a skeleton. My eye has stripped you, or call it my eye stripped, but here we seem to be: naked, but for bones that do not indicate human enigma. Thrum to my chest and behind my eyes something lapses into an instant of sleep, dreaming a shotgun. I've dosed off. The next thrum charters screams into my inner passageways, and eyes burst open:
Elephant of hair and leather and ancient tusks, eyes like earrings, accessories to massive guile; indistinct man caped to indicate the grandiose, pleads attention like it plagues him, dread neuroses, imagined and otherwise frame his context to me; resting trappings of trades long played out. This is here. It for that moment laid alone in its intention of diversion. Now it is merely in front of me like the sloping hillock of fleshes an bones glowing yellow for torches.

Down and back

One day I'll know how to pour out a river
And strain fro it the small creatires lurking
They will feed myself an others
The bounty of a mineral substrate
Their bodies will come apart
Chitin, sinew, a mess of nerves
And further these structures descend
To the isolates of calciums and carbon strings

But I'll fear this moment
Oh, why not a bone
A fish 
A river
The whole river
The wind

Pentip

Not one thing worth its salt
Other than perhaps the tip of the pen
And how it means at ink's spark

A set of selfish questions 1

Which eyes could I bear 
If I could bear to choose

Better those that take this ride the furthest fastest
But the branches of this tree 
Crowd the future paths from sight
Questions mounting 
Am I doing this right?

Why make a man an anemic inner eye
But then why make a man
Without eyes at all
And has been done 
And they didn't know either
History lies in the smack of action
Poised on the lips of loved ones
Where people never change 
And they are always present
As long as you can still talk to them 

Beginnings

Good morning, World!
Silence replies
A whisper of confusion 
Shh!
And still

They are letting me pretend 
The beginning of times
So I can name everything 
All over again

Turning

Once more I light my feet on solid ground

Everything here looks so different to me

I listen close to hear the earth turning

10/13/14

Curve of the song

Curvature of a singing blade
Bade me save the spirit at my sternum
And all of this the split second purge
Before I took the surgeon's plunge
Thrusted hands through busted bands
A mess of sinew and sorely circulating hearts
I raise the carnage 
Ripping out gemstones 
Laughing at the sorts of pains 
That force a full restart
Use to startle me apart

I drip into the curvature 
Of a singing blade

10/4/14

Little painted box

Fumbling through confessions
Scripted on paper slips
The box fits in the palm of my hand
But is comparably more honest

To think that three hours ago
These papers did not exist
It would have been shouts 
And slamming of mouths and fists

All it took was reaching 
To the back of an abandoned shelf
Why do I even keep so many things?

To remind me of my humanity?
To remind me of what this all was?

What am I supposed to do with memory?

Why would you want to remember?
Why would you even try?

The items scattered in my room
Fall off the face of feeling 
I am awed by the space I preside 

Eyeing walls and floors and chairs
I see the maze of subtle humbled
By the planes and angles
The coarse of stepping stairs

Capping the crisp cardboard top
Painted in your own wist 
The box is put back on the shelf 
Leaving just me
emptying and dishonest

10/2/14

Some summer left over

it was summer on the tongue
in the lagotto of evening strollers by
and how it played into the tree's voices
though the leaves rustled on the ground
the crispness called for coats
and the sun shone low
very low
as if it meant to slice the top off our sky
and let the cosmos in
it already seemed a bit thin up there
from the vantage of a park bench 
in october

Untitled

She smoked fire
Like a troubled soul 
But less tired
She blew intrepid circles 
Around my eyes
And traced my navel 
To my cranium
As if she could click the tumblers
As if she could align the chord
The nerve of her audacity
Only followed by sort of success
That gives threat to the sword
And means to the spear
She hadn't even come near

Walking the line

I could play out a perfect forward line
In my head
An walk it like it were the very purpose of life
I see as much now
And it seems pretty close to the purpose of life 
There aren't a whole lot of similarities or anything worth noting 
Nothing out of the cliche
My eyes look on this wall
(That's how I see the line) 
Just the same as my eyes look out most days
The wall takes me over the land like the mountain's razor 
And the walking walks into leading 
And My weight is flying 
I keep my feet walking 
To remember which side of gravity I belong
But that reminds me I don't 
Actually belong much 
There's a sunlong stretch 
And the light falls into a maddening of colors 
It's pretty much the same as life
The day ends

Fresh squeeze

Squeeze me
On either side of my head
Press inwardly
The glands of these names
And the scents of these touching tips of things--each edge the blade of being
Through the closed throat 
Slit the sore at the node
And right on through the chest 
Flesh out the roads of my stories
Vining their way to my extremities
Now let these capillaries burst with the events in their knowns
Bleed the through the susceptible  
Functions 
These fucking manners and makers
These blobby bits clinging to the biles, bloods and antibodies
Bleed them through
And the skin of my sights 
Won't mean much the same by now
So let them peel away
Let as much as possible leave that way
To pool over 
Into the soup of our creation
Once more

Earthenwares

Here the clay lives in the cups and the bowls, and the plant's pot
Like it found itself there and formed a community
She waves here and there to brush off excesses on her sight 
Lights on a now lighting piece of plaster adorned in blue and white
The surfaces of the earthenware shimmer and wake
To ready for its day
As the one thing it is

Buttony shirts and the outskirts


Take with you yourself
And your comically formal clothing
Take with you yourself
To the mouth of the cave
And feel the sky 
Rasping by the entrance
And filling us 
With a memory of water
As it has fallen
Though you didn't know it
Take your arms
Buttoned at the wrists
As if you feared they would fly away
Have your arm its own meaning
And follow where it points

Questing on

Took the trip
Asked questions
Fought dragons
Asked questions
Dealt the blow
Asked questions
Spurned the tensions
Asked questions
Prayed for even more questions

Walking

I will not have walking without 
Already being Home 
and Home again
Why don't you walk with me
That's halfway at least

9/19/14

Horizon

Hush
There is time yet
To throw in and over again
Tell me how we did it
No don't
Please. I'm flying 
Tell me some other time
When we're drowning
No don't 
Please. I'm trying 
To set myself off
To set off an aloft
To offset the soft 
And off myself 
I ought to be the horizon
A final straight ending 
Neverending

Social posture


I would bow 
But I'm sure the service doesn't translate
Perhaps I will anyway
Because damned be a moment of time 
Positioned context 
 
The stars do not stop coming out
Just Because their names are forgotten

Because time takes time

What would you have me do?
You plucked these chords knowingly
You tuned these fires flowingly 
And now you'd like the beating to stop?
The child emerging in our souls
To stop?

Listen please
I have nothing 
Nothing in this place
Where do you think old hymns come from?
And where do you think they go?
They cannot be burned
They cannot be swallowed
You cannot still this resonation
You Cannot still a know

In place

I hold my breath 
And the attractions?
And the hindrances?
I shunt the motion 
I pull myself back into my mouth
All of it
To incubate
Though eyes may drink and never quench

August 27th

I Whittle errantly in my head:
'August 27'

I am trying to remember the days 
I am trying like the forager
At the end of the age
And calendars meaningless

Into this totem I phrase this form:
The herbs gathered into a pouch
From the walk to see my friends
In the suburbs of hillsboro, Oregon

The pneumonic takes root 
And foliage breaths a new place
New Pressure to the skull
I try to Let those roots be

I look forward
Pressing myself firmly against the glass 
Of my eye

Beyond my gleaning, there here is rosemary
This point stays to me
As if it were the only shard of reality
In the garden
And this at least will grow firm
In the ephemeral forests

I walk now and there is another house with herbs 
I wonder if these people know
What's growing in their own yards

But they do not know rosemary
And I never knew the 27th of august

Stung and then sung

never been so strung out
On another's drunkenness
Burning wet fuse
Splayed onto a floor
Positively wretching itself 
In own refuse
Own slob

What do you want to be said
You who roam the moonlit channels
And climb the sparrow-light panels
Of the castles in the sky
You who know the words better than I
Your laugh could make the stars shudder

never looked up so wide
Echoes passing on
As far as they are long
Sonrises collapse and collage
The darkest blue glows of midnight
Maybe the show can be worth it
For now

8/25/14

Basta

One day I will walk the earth
Through the hills and countries
Wading features troubling
Watching creatures huddling
Praying afloat for fear 

My feet will be bare on the earth
And the slime and muck will come
To teach me the meaning of a story
In the morning of the world's journey

My hair will grow to connect the earth
To the lightning of presence
Branching barriers and then fleeting
Like a brain's electricity bleeding

I will watch the earth come to me
As warp fills us to the taste of metals
And life begins the eternity it meant
Dearly beneath the soil steps have rent

Wreathed in my newer insanities
I'll try to trust my way to bleed the rest 
I'll try I guess

Here it snaps back
An ego a breath a toll a gun a shot
Blastpoundbangcracksnap snips
The reel short
It's real short
Forget the forgetting 
Run or be run
And then make sure you have already begun 
Sing or be sung 
Ring or be rung
Drier then the cold death of the universe
Placid behind your eyes

And for fuck's sake
Cut that name from your life

8/11/14

Rosemary

Wear rosemary on a rainy day
Please thank you 
I'll take you in my arms 
And crumple into the closest, oldest, primal comforts
Or should we consider the heavier ones:
Birch pine cedar
Burn them perhaps
Pyre away that surface involvement
Be the single radiance
And cuddle In wolf pelts
And those looks that ask everything 
Of the small furnace inside us

7/21/14

Bos of pictures

You made up a box of pictures
You made them up for me
Whether I was worthy, willing, wanting
You drew them tenderly
And I have nothing else to give
And I had nothing left to say
From the moment moving, moaning, making
And I was nothing, given away
To mistresses woven like walls
To manhandlers who can only berate
While you were waiting, wondering, wanting 
To draw me through my given fate
And draw me through till I was made
And draw me through with lines and patterns
Which no matter how I use them now
Are just a box of pictures 
And I'm not a hero 
And I'm not a villain
I'm just tatters

7/9/14

How's all that space

winds on the flowers
pacing across axeblade petals
Poisoned curves
The metal stretch
of an indecisive creature
falling into it's own clouds

When so many strides
imagine themselves
into nothing

When so many straights
remind me of something
the sun like a runny egg
the rock like a broken plate

When the rockets all know
where heaven meant to be

Now up and up and up
Now racing spinning
Holding it all
In the very lack of matter
The dropoff of those things
That never mattered
It doesn't matter
flowers in her hair
The air
It's crisp
fit to leave the surface of the earth
Just right
to take distance
all I need is lift

7/7/14

Drivers on a storm

Boatswain
Blowing on his own chain
Rubbed red hot against his own skin
Pinging to him
In a language he no longer remembers
a language without halt or name
He catches some chatter in a drift
He carries the glide of the ship
Off along the thunderheads

7/6/14

Giving up on giving up

I took an evening
A book of inquiry
Delectable
A respiry 
And floated over nausea 

Spit from meditation
Pushing out the crusts
And last traces
Of sensation
Set them all to running

Running to my skin
Bleeding through 
What's left of my questions
Into a bowl 
Of sanguine elation

I am safe 
To vomit every last word
Every last organ
Every lasting pin
Placing me in space And time

6/27/14

Too specific


Who has stranger
Make them with me
Take them with me
Growl at streets
We will
Rip up totems
We will
Dance on destructive airs 

Interest besmote with affairs
So smite a spite 
Through it
I see all 
in scintillation
Wonder where
It goes
Wonder how
It goes
After fully considered
Introspection

It feel
All too specific
Make for strange shade
Human

6/12/14

Hunkers down

Sit in a soft spot
Though the cushions may be stone

While listening to a soft heart
Though the beats may be only drops

Wear soft wares
Though the hat may be a cloud

Whisper a soft lot
Though it may just be a breath

And take a soft thought 
But please be sure to put it back
You may never know who might be by 
To pick it up

Hunkers down

Sit in a soft spot
Though the cushions may be stone

While listening to a soft heart
Though the beats may be only drops

Wear soft wares
Though the hat may be a cloud

Whisper a soft lot
Though it may just be a breath

And take a soft thought 
But please be sure to put it back
You may never know who might be by 
To pick it up

6/10/14

Rocks crunch on the eastern side

Sand is together 
Against you
Walls at the front
Behind 
Besides
All around you
And who knew it plucked away
The sound
And chewed
Replaced it with the sun

There are drifts of trees here
Certainly 
But it seems 
Only me
Only one

With a cool flick 
Of rains returning
To seed a few more
And there's more
To be here suddenly
Made dapple of the floor

I dabble wanderworthy 
Firm and swarthy 
I play a thunderclap 
A sword
Sand together returning
Always burning 
But not a bit as much forsworn 

6/3/14

Scarecrow

On my feet 
Like a discreet declaration
Maybe even obsolete
Such is
that I am the scarecrow

There is day under meadow
And meadow under stars
As if the lift of sun so deep
Could bring the world 
To where they are

The wisps of grassen hair
unfasten to the crisp
Evaporating whispers
From the uninterrupted mists
Working crafty tethers

Bold as black
I hold as that
which leaps into a midnight stare
As long as those nights 
That pretend to last forever

6/1/14

ARYTHMATIC

Like the topography of an arythmatic
or the smallest common mark
of the imperfect maker's take
on man and his sundries
he dances quakes in land
 for sake of burdening grains
that remind the workers to sane themselves
at least twice the day is long
for to keep them working
and then to work their keeping
or it all goes wrong
like the topography
of an entirely different arythmatic

5/30/14

Lightly now

If I cup my hands about my ears
I'm going to pretend
That there's wind blowing 
In the corridors
I'll take care
To creep in on it
And let the creature dance 
In my head
No sense in letting It know
I'm here

5/22/14

When being gets in the way

How many walls
To put me in the other room
I used to dream of worlds
Where crenelations never ended
And doors bred in an uncertain flow
But everytime I woke
I couldn't see anything 
Quite so clearly

Like pulling teeth

Leaves of fiery composition
Etch the creature of contempt
Across a chest so far unkempt
Given no glance from a physician

Droves of coursing woven strains
Driven from the world's other side
Striving to strangle settling inside
These bats burst wanting name

A pinpoint pluck pulls the pellet:
A prosaic penchant for priest's language
Thee's thy's thou's all engage
Omitted mention: I wanted to sell it 

Demon synched like consecration  
To the ligaments pulling me inward
Maybe the sip of something soured
Maybe a pull me from my inhibition

Leaves of fury full position
Bred from season inverse to me
Etch into and out the other way
Nothing but devilish exposition
Cut through the skin 
The paper bleeds

Taking mine

I think
I'll take your eyes
And I'll make them mighty fine
Until the grains begin 
To puff and sputter 
When pressed to grind
A Backhand toss to Let to flutter 
All around my room
So warm and utterly delighting
Like diamonds muttering with lightning
And those are just your eyes
Those are just two round windows
Plate glass pulled fast to fasten
Me and all mine own
To the rest: I'll try imagine
Like a warm night the likes 
Of which have never glowed
To the rest: I'll try find
Because one day I know you'll love me 
And One day I'll have your mind

Sonder

A brief moment of sonder
Reserved for someone
I do not know
As they ponder grounds
soft in sun
Making me wonder
Whether grasses
Struggle with perspective

4/28/14

Spilt

A table covered 
In papers doused
In blue pen scrawl
A thousand songs
Some have spilt to the floor
Some even still spilling
Off of that
To the pangs of regret
To their owner's surprise 
To see so many stories
And even more
That he'll never find

Syzygy

Cutting along a three-dimensional seam
Of size and shape fit to me
There phase those men out of time
Erupting from the hidden syzygy

Loosened as they become, look carefully
The yoke of one no longer fits the next
And dance befits, but mercury sets
Into their bones
Into their inner homes
Into their winnowing figments

Slackened as we know that pact
And wracked it looks
All the way down
Like the way that light between two mirrors
Slowly lets the images drown

Overbreath

Each facing of a diamond:
The door left open

Esophagus' chasing 
The scent in the air

Broth in the head
To drain into the bin

Out through the neck
He's leaning forward
In a legless chair

Wind passing lullabies
Stratospheric; thin

4/26/14

Shade fountain

Cutting along a three-dimensional seam
Of size and shape fit to me
There phase those men out of time
Erupting from the hidden syzygy

Loosened as they become, look carefully
The yoke of one no longer fits the next
And dance befits, but mercury sets
Into their bones
Into their inner homes
Into their winnowing figments

Slackened we know that pact
And wracked it looks
All the way down
Like the way that light between two mirrors
Slowly lets the images drown

4/15/14

Chromorphilogical

All around me
The descants in so foreign a hue
As to which the first I knew not 
But the second could introduce 
My thought 
And impose a radical interruption 

Engrossed in radial surruption
Along the boardwalk thirteen months 
Away from me
Supercharged underneath a veil
Of misunderstanding 
Something I've come to trust
As experience

4/7/14

Cornerstone malaise

Growing up is lame
Braceless I'll be riding my bike
through the day
just to get to the night
and light show dizzy
I just might transcend
The cornerstone malaise
or perhaps fall hard enough
to break every bone in my heart
into the standing stones of
those to crippled to care for others
and cultivate distrust as part
of their structure for better days
where they can deconstruct the calcium
deposited in their souls
and transcend a cornerstone malaise

4/3/14

Petals

I take my head
Through the window
To cool it off
The wind is enough to take me
It knows I'd love to go
Taunting full flow 
Sheets whispering 
Whuffing discreet intricacies
Yet I know
That though all of my weight 
Were washed in that wind
I would stay a boulder 
And watch the petals roll
Into the lee 
And out again

4/1/14

Initiate

In the age of winter
fried up in a bath of butter
here we shiver and slumber
for no one knows how long
a diamond glitters
because we've seen too many blast
and blast
and blasting is all they ever
seem to do

come with me
I say to an empty table
not to chairs or airs
but to the lack of sustenance
we can go together
into the lacking
black matter attacking
peeling me through

even in a blue-sided moon
the humbled form
of anything to remember
but nothing to request
takes to lacking soon so soon so soon
parchment peeling out of me
all too joyful to incinerate
And I stumble through the ceiling
life's perpetual initiate

3/30/14

This came to me like a cablecar
Today
I never take them

I never need to 
Novelty as novelty
Building cablecars of discontent
Streaming into space
This came to me
Until I learned what stars meant
As the origin of species

2/23/14

Midnight approaches

Only so many minutes till midnight
And then six hours until death dawns
In the parchment sunlight that gods
Use to file their taxes

Only so many beliefs left to wander 
Before wandering turns to wakening panic
The kind that turns like time never passing
Squeezing into the abyssal density 
Between here and some allotted rest 

At twelve I know the time is wrong
I forgot to feel my clock before reading it
And now all I have is the last bite 
Less than half 
Emptied into tomorrow

2/4/14

My favorites of childhood

I lost them
In a daily cafe
Like an account I had deleted
To loosen up the workload
For a distant idea of a server
Idly spurred inside my mind
No more excitement
But we all know there wasn't
Any sort of cause in the first
Only the brightest wallpaper
Fondly remembered
For covering walls 
Otherwise bare
When eyes
Were too young to see depth
In a whitewash

Small waits

The house squeaks 
And panels rustle
With sounds
Of little feet
So little as is 
Infinitely discreet

Clicks the shutters
Unfettered from
Severs somewhere
In the house's deep

Stillness now
All the wires 
Chewed through
By a clever kind of boredom

Desert

The very air
Walking 
In a desert 
That looks like 
The backs of hands
Cracked and dry
From so many
Cold nights
Salt licks the sky
Even blue erodes

1/14/14

Coldness eyes

Big wide wet eyes
Holding back a runner
In a lover's disguise
A cold one for the rain
Leaves to swist along
Like mist at day 
The morning dew is gone

Palace gleaming like the sky's
Fresh as flowers feel themselves strong
Eyes that clasp 
Eyes that quiver
And each arrow slung 
Sews a slew of breakthrough
Compelling winner
Her the lasting 
Her the winter

If only whipping wafts 
Wouldn't tumble away
That snow of crystal confusion
Bright with supple infusion
Of prime conception to the thought of you
Hearts blazed white 
With the interact 
And hacked off emotion 
Here went snap a start
To sway and soon decay
Into an entirely new reaction
To totally fall in love with

Prayer onwards


Diviner's verbs
Prove your fervor now and serve
The words which wing out into alien
Rhymes insipid without paling 
And patchwork tongues breathing fire
From ailments too quick to discern
Or wonder if with them learning burns
When strained through the layers of their psyche
I will not be made their nurture
I will not be made their destroyer
They move within me and through me
And maybe one day They will be me
Raging hell through latent brainflesh
Boiling incinerants into my veins
Fresh and power is their name
But I confess to never knowing
Hence the insanity of my conquest
The immolation in deliverance
So loving seer 
See me through vanity
See me through the silence

Pocket

Landings
These bevels
To the principle 
Of creation
Pooling 
Bubbling into elation

My people
Oh my people!
Through the peep hole
Hiding within
The womb of masterful shroud
Bustling anthills
With your churchless steeples
Melding forth above it all

Oh my friends
In the waters of bends
Like and undersand sea
I've killed your seed
In what sunlight
That I need 
To see 

Deaf

If you could reduce all touching
To the dull minimum 
Or the excessed absence 
Then My breath
Will be just as cool 
As the words that come next
And the cool 
Will be as rigid now
As you were on your own feet
Pricked up, the calf
Not even known of how
To settle your own joints

Throw

I put my book down
It was a long day
It felt like fizzy lemonade

I saw the picture in my head
It was a distant kite
I felt so out of socket

So I threw away my magic
And i was alright 
It smelled like spring water

Brights


Heartbeats flickering on my eyes
Suns drilling to my blind 
They confide 
And what I find 
Makes me blind
Like the jealousy that made me
Tired enough to wait here
And worried enough to hate her
In the lostaway place 
That took eminence

I wonder where the animals are 
When we stumble out 
Into the lights
Whether they fuel the underground
Of fortresses puking bile and salt
Enough to spark us all
Enough to fumigate a conflict
Or whether backed into a corner
By suns and trains and timepieces
They know exactly where to kick
