I cant shake the idea though, of us in that water, like the goo of spacetime and the universe, beings of energy interrupting the mathematical perfection, agents of entropy manipulating matter and creating ripples that travel for miles and miles tweaking strings in time that may yet unravel to chaos

Before tonight, It was a wink and a nod, Then a bar stool scrapped the floor, And in 4 seconds we spoke the languages, Confidence, Affection, Lust, Anticipation Yet not one word escaped our lips The glowing warmth of reality. I still speak those languages, better than I ever have, But my fingers do not Nor do these plastic keys And I wink at this flat glass box And it showers me in pale light I reach out to caress its shoulder And it bathes me in pale light I spent all night in The Electricity Pub And I saw hundreds of faces, perfectly still, My fingers tried to reach out, They nailed the keys without apprehension, And all the blank faces stared back in silence Except yours.

Wash the sleep from your eyes Stretch your spine, breathe deep, and rise I'll hold your warmth and soak in your spirit, I'm inconsolable, yet you smile at me I hold you tighter, yet still you resist me To give the order, to end a life A burden inhumane, yet our common strife Sweet Luna my steady, my first and last of the day It was not just your life I lost on this day We are unfinished marble, chipped, warped, and parlayed Joyed life and clean death, these are the sins that we pay Sweet Luna, catch a mouse for me, obliterate your prey Sweet Luna claim a chest for me, bring love where you stay Luna Moonfang 2003-2015 Rest in Peace

A Poem For Luna

Wash the sleep from your eyes Stretch your spine, breathe deep, and rise I'll hold your warmth and soak in your spirit, I'm inconsolable, yet you smile at me I hold you tighter, yet still you resist me To give the order, to end a life A burden inhumane, yet our common strife Sweet Luna my steady, my first and last of the day It was not just your life I lost on this day We are unfinished marble, chipped, warped, and parlayed Joyed life and clean death, these are the sins that we pay Sweet Luna, catch a mouse for me, obliterate your prey Sweet Luna claim a chest for me, bring love where you stay Luna Moonfang 2003-2015 Rest in Peace

A man is his purpose, By force, or fruition A man is his motivation, By fear, or fondness A man is his sacrifice, By loathing, or love A man is his duty, By king, or country A man is the sum of things he cannot control, and when finally laid to rest, his story goes untold

I fear how much my heart would bleed To witness real tragedy To sink in Flanders Field To collapse in Choeung Ek To scream for mercy in Nanking To beg before the walls of Baghdad A life of insulation Pain relative to the first world My heart hardly calcified Compared to the bones of those who died Hardly removed from the horrors of mankind My drywall castle shields each breath So hardly removed From the stench of death

I danced my way down High knee, low foot A satyr's frolic Tingling feet, soft moss, fertile soil One by one I pecked the seeds from my pack Into the soil I pressed them, one by one by one Hopes, Dreams, Ambitions, Aspirations One, by one, by one, by one, I sprinkled the seeds with my lifeblood, I recited my prayer to the earth, I grinned wild and the sky smiled! The Giants will know my work

Gemini, oh Gemini, Build your bridge of trust, Inlay the stones carefully And I'll tear it down in lust Gemini, sweet Gemini, Set your fence up straight, Smile at your progress, While I burn it down irate Gemini, dear Gemini, Paint your dreams with bliss, Beg me for asylum, Scratch out of my abyss Gemini, my Gemini, Let's not skid too far, Paradoxical dependence, I still am who you are

I saw a cresting sunrise through the corridors of steel Was it 5 a.m. already? A convalescence of clouds, ruby tint, and gold trim At the corner of Columbus and Wacker I took a stumbling left Where is all the traffic? Two hundred yards ahead, and the road.... Stops Despite sleepless nights of sketching somehow, a road escaped reason In the heart of the midwest this grand testament to urban planning couldn't help but make one mistake I stood at the edge lording over the land and with ***** stained breath I declared myself king! The sun lent me her crown The city exhaled it's approval And I saw my first sunrise At The End of Wacker Drive
