A man lost his leg in a dark spell and a dinner plate sits in a dry spot 30 years of love soaked lung choked, "I can't live without my eyes" life! It's a tied or be tied world a king prays in the morning and stars connect his wishes tasseled, sparkle, with blood of shaking soft hands A man lost his leg in a dark spell a caravan station unfolds its carpet a pegged ***** grinds for metal and a sandpaper shoe floats in the creek a bluejay whispers to the soil and a soul catches an eye hunger taken and a spirit flies to morphing masses and flowing skies flowing skies A man lost his leg in a dark spell as a green legged woman fell into the moon a clasp of a watch was finally won with fevered letters and hammered guns filtered suns filtered suns

A Man Lost His Leg in a Dark Spell
The red boar sits on the shelf Can your only window be secure? The red boar only hates itself Can your only window be secure?

Spider and Beetle
My feet straighten out as I walk up the road A typha in my left palm and a worn warm stone Sentimental? Or just the dust of petals in my mind? I just passed a great big pine What is mine? Is that mine? A great fine diner is up ahead; entrance of town and once my homestead with a paint chipped door schedule written in lead Peering through the window There's no breeze though but the lights glow but the plants grow How can I know? What do I know The small bell dings and I crash back The legs walk in let the door smack I grab my chest and eyes wet my chin When did the shudder begin? Felt Felt a soft red cloth wipe my cheek Is it her or is it what they think? a memory it can be and certainly hurts like a memory A sip from a coffee she blows on it softly a snapping blink in the glass whispering with moments that pass as much as I want to try to be

Manners pt. 2
I woke up in a glade of gray Littered fingers and threads of grass flay Moistened hair, a dampened glare An enameled heart that stings Scattered birds have yet to sing Will it ever matter? The soft brown dirt pushes down as I rise up The light rain has filled my old tin cup Ridges rusted and my eyes are dusted My wrist-watch is broken and can't be trusted Fire flies in a jar, they won't get far lighted my night as my cigarettes tarred my weakened lungs but elevated my strung- out manners It's getting lighter as my skin gets tighter The clouds shift as the sun gets brighter I miss the moon, but I know that soon the day will pass but I won't see noon How blue Blue

Manners
They will not be heard with their many words Don't think like them They will not be heard with their many words Repetition of their assumption Jesus is not against repetition My father let me pass as you will Men keep watch! Don't think like them Their flesh is weak They will not be heard Meaningless repetition Many words They will not be heard Thorn in the flesh God does not have a one prayer only rule Dear God I can never say that again Jesus is talking about hearts that we badger God! Pagans! Ten thousand! My Mary Our fathers Beads on a chain moving down the line repetition Leverage your words to move God Good gifts for his children With many words They will not be heard

Repetition
Is there a cloud under that tree? Is there a cloud under that tree? a small moth ***** its wings it's in the cupboard it's in the cupboard a feeling sends a nerve to hover and be strung out a nerve sends a feeling to cover and be shut out Six legs clutched to dusty rosewood eyes spread and eyes should breathe kindly in life Six legs clutched to dusty rosewood eyes spread and eyes should breathe kindly in life Light Glowing light Pushes through a line It pushes through the line It's bright and it's close to mine light glowing light closer but through my fingers tighter but shadows linger through this light glowing light a moth ***** its wings
