wine about me god with dark hair below me moving i feel incredulous when i look at myself with borrowed eyes and the room smattering a night paint thorough immutable triumph you undress like perfect coat that palm of your mind shakes hands with mine and obsfucates the sea, sea fog heaves its bright weight bright alone like god piano the sun piano in church galician heat and night erode my throat and what it has to plea for watching the summer die and you begin your return to israel the boats are left where no boat belongs, already that sea-line stone cools and hardens real magic into the apses later let lay in ruby sheets for however long lacking your wet dark way like a prayer but the mouth is sealed in a perfect tomb

Eternity is closed ! - come back another day with flower smears for eyes and sincere passion on your palms          (weathered) I need another Russian Doll - Princess to frequent curtains fashioned from fire & lead equaling out to crimson folds which mysteriously call to the mystical hierarchies of imagination Silent requirements signal beneath the steps which welcome one (a stranger/ an Ibis-Beak cane & dark coat stamped with August rain) They arrive unexpectedly, as if to play the game of cliches, they carry promises fashioned in foreign ports tapping my knee instead of my shoulder having only known or recognized entombment                                (there is no hyperbole which lacks within                                 Nature's haunted heavens) My strange visitor leaves / glass umbrella in hand / to privacy / our brief interaction begins & ends with simple eager undertakings implemented in the afterword   What is in another's contemplation of me? whiling in manifest Theosophy - - Thought form - Primal child-rage / whisp of violet smoke & inksplotches abolished, mutually panting. Our decorated four-legged hunter has arisen and impatiently craves for the Earth to partner at last with the Sun ..The Sun a blazing dime I can smell crispness in the air

Summer Visitations
A witness to Epochs sired in miniature Arabias, listening to the drawn-out gasp of God, our sleepy master rising from their daybreak chamber Future fatherhood adorned/Sunkissed mirage of Irises doubting, adrift & hazel/Adulthood is an aching spectacle between selves/pinewood casts salivating for devotion I willfully lend to the wild Palace of my mind, affixing gargoyles and Memento Mori, dispose of playthings & grieving Tulpas with great inclemency, marking dates to see the gold spring from my Hiraeth Valley I dream of shadow music and the Sea, Oyamel trees quiver at an approach, here- Another turning

-I- Adoration- Somnambulists cast paradise magic, allowing a thimble to fall upon the floor of our private heaven (a perfect disquiet to our loving) We daily reveal our reclusive sensitivities, a flash (a lowered head, laughing distinctly) Trailing close behind German poets/path of devotion, a second summit of their passionate influence, rippling generations ago now: (vineyards caught by grasping suddenness/placating daytime/fig & flame/false tower of Babel, ornamental ruin/he feels owed the sensations of an active spirit, to repent the contrary forces within him/myself) -II-                       & upon my reflection in the Cabaret of Hell, I see a gate perched at the base of my wondrous Sehnsucht-apparition                     BLUE MOON                 WALLFLOWER (or perhaps the other way around?) Overtaken by oscillating darkness/hall of mirrors (memories) distorted flashbulb *** and anger until the acts become indistinguishable from themselves/doubly ********** tigers brushstroked in animal blood... essence of devour/temper/ captivation, incredible lips, pulp teeth, pure excitement all disfigured & joyous -III- My azzurine goddess, faced away in shame, no wonder why! (hair let down in a drowsy spill of uncertain hours, wavering in a sullen high, thickly feeling, the immensity/pleasure renounced for a cabbalist subliminity) Mockery of the dead dead dog/blind in boyhood/while curious ghosts skate across the ice-peripheral of our dreaming I feel love, and horror/a frigid hand who's body I have dissolved- -caressing my back tenderly bordering terrific malevolence ...Later, in another try at my own eternal return, I find my comfort brother, accompanied by an overhead divination lantern.. pounding! At the sun skull, for you (my cherished) are of high order I tempt soaking the cloth, to steer the intention ..missing black mass, indulging instead on feverish Damascus perfume Splash ramp down. Flesh, wailing vampire/poet hidden by darkly earth to inevitably decay by their self-solitude (descent writhes in the milk of heartache and cusps the night firmly in his ***** withering palms) I refuse this fate, and in Western-fashion fire down the city worshipper which was once I, too        (unmercifully so) ..burying his bones in the Scottish dirt Terrarium hydrangeas, pale (yourIrises) lipstick daggers slashing in the white sleeve- red with epicurean baptism -IV- Big bad wolf banished to his hole, I kiss the winter fruit clean from your mouth (succumbing to pinnacles of fire/your lost domain) ******* on pebbles, trying to crack through the surface like a dragon's egg for pride (big bad wolf is hungry) We wear away the season, memorizing the newspapers which are tossed carelessly to our door. Ah, the kitchen ballet dancers are finally tired..endowed to the triplicate beauty that we individually define (takes a bit to get there) You/I privileged to ********** Venice with our mutual imagination,                              owing to Calvino To crave eachother as an Acrobat craves the trapeze

A practice in diverting expectation, the micrososm perseveres over the macrocosm (pale elevator magic) Sand is not enough, nor the perennial heat, instead, I chase my green-eyed children,  escaping a slow but forceful  jewelled jaw, for birth & secret kissing with the dawn I act recklessly in faith of foxgloves, harmonica valley idlings/the sentence, in your own words/my sentence The crescent court decided I wait in Guangzhou for several hours, to compare my many lives with eachother, as I wonder what day it is, what my past-self is doing right now, if he's getting along fine, I'm a little sore Druidic anthems/harbour & hibiscus, fulfillment that feels strange to me, tea by my side, paying attention to "Idiot Wind" until it gets too dark to stay out *Surreal in experience, passing winter castles & carnivals on stilts, foreign cemetaries, temperamental waters, Afric breeze/ Art Deco saccharine pink* Now, to return for an interval of Pacific Spring, an embrace of the howling shadow, banished by process cultivating The Farther (An ivory veil/withdrawn)

I Possesion/extension Nightly woman instinct, lend your guiding scent to fierce winds/ combining into poison, deliver down my mercy to the great shining (seduction poetics, unrestrained and visible like a crown of death hanging proud by my bedside, eager to martyr oneself for fertility) Cosmogonic dawn/blinking fire-wheels, shallow, holy waters receding as silken tides, awoke from idleness Discarded silver haloes, thrown into the hallowed dirt to drench in mortal youth Monarch eyes/careful heart, sealed/felt lucidly worried/cavernous and hidden/wild kingdom dancer A proclaimed Fool. Imitator, mutilator clay creator/for pathless ambition I sink further in sand which lacks definition, it is careless like myself (take a trip to Angel river, where one longs to be freed from skeleton grins & pagan bathtubs, pollinating one with wivesblood) II Out of the fog to a marriagebed & lambs head mounted, awkwardly backdropped to an altar of Furze & disorientation-theatres draped in Neon & excess (where even the walls are unaware of their own Earthly position) If I am the stone, you are the water, carving me closer to your desired shape to become an Outer, a cloud-catcher, liplurker, destined to Saturn worship III My zeal is an impatient grave & you assume the feral mother whose flashflood voice draws me to rest ..Yet, I am willing. Carry my body to your domain, feast kindly, until paradise is all that remains of us both

Easel pink brandish- markings of bold Panther shadow/transfigure to Mariposa sweetly Sunset sleeper, Mediterranean heath, silver sailboat idol chanting in wind/undulating mica-recast (your teeth unravel   like hazardous decorations as you approach with sand in your pockets, shoes beaten together, you shut the door behind you) I've done with stagnating, a freedom figure replaces the routinely/becoming (May) a joyful repose,                         now sojourned to                            subtropics, a wanderer- detaching himself from misconception I am the Devourer of my own time

Metanoia
Dampened Canary- cloth hanging in the unforgiving heat A fateful transaction is upon the balancing wheel of a godhead-wheelbarrow (called forth from an unknown plain) Here comes the chosen Sufferer, who endures, endures the cruel calming of the desert as if himself archetypal/ The Lonesome Cowboy (Poésie) Plotted on a humble Hillside, where nobody has walked since the first Red Riser fell honorably (& honorably still) The Martyr savors the last of his strawberries before Tragedy (Muerte) drinking water from a stranger's flask removing pinpricks individually, little droplets of blood are sacrificed to quench the Arid Empress *(Eruption/magnesium iris/Harper's Ferry 1805 perched toward the Consummation Twilight/Alexandria playfully inspects his remains/judges past-lives/submitting to Lastly/DOWN/fertilizing the soil, creating, smoking smiles/smoking kills/his skeleton braces for savagery & foul gale)* ! Maroon-like lamplight daybreak (Leviathan) Sacred-Serpent at their typewriter again, concluding/procuring iron baskets- -of bread and wine to celebrate the success in preserving an irrevocable Cycle ...Another gentle youth invokes the strange Temperament of Lilacs & Chaotic Seraphim

Strange Temperament of Lilacs (Back to Nature)
I Sun since discovered, released, now eclipsed- -spent shoes & leaves vanished in wind II It is without shame that I stand tempered before the fervor of the sea, sand beneath my nails/throat heavy with fog. ..Years become part of the water's process (this process begins in the center of the Ocean, an unseen thrashing of instruments imitating war, screaming obscured by screaming, cut- off by itself/bare intersperse of salts, kelp, monsters without eyes reside in blackness, continuously repeating in solitude, where no human heart can be placed without risk of dissent, it too, becoming fury) III Feral baths scrape their lyric into the Dionysian Lid.. Dawns slight flaming fingers/Gökotta/ awake, my features appraise me/an interval now passed for gold and heliotropes The Body needs The World to hold you Foreground trumpeting/Impatient Maker of all which yearns ...now pleading "Wake from your underworld and witness the collapsing of the night!"                                (((metamorphosis/strike)))
