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

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

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

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

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

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
