I've taken a walk Outside of the words written in water A hint of beer Not in the smell But in the sweat The lack of beards Is it a coincidence Or is it a sign A search for meanings Is but a game of an idle mind Eastern motives Subtle and exquisit Western irony Is all that too But even more to me Is there any irony in water?

A son of a father
Cage of chambers: Lark of sparks. Morning bears Shore that layered. Eat up the whole plate, Kick back the bored chair. Sick is the core layer. Crack, crack - it is inside you. "Man is noise" - clickclacks the mechanism That is beyond the wall and eats it's wheels. Stap back, not through the door. Open the window, crawl to the floor, Sneak into a crate. Eat at the skin slate. Kick in the core layer. Dive in the bored chair. Abrupt angels Drowning in black bacon, Tattered crucifix In a sea of marmalade. Ricochet sounds the ricochet Of flying lead And it's echo From bronzen metal Plate Of my clean skate. The starlessness of night Is born within a brooding mother. And grieving is the father For himself. As that is not The sun he want- ed. Fed. Bitten is the core layer. Bitter is the mouth's tedder. I am amused by the bored chair.

Layers
I woke up to find myself Among a constellation Of needles Transparent Sharp, reflecting Directed towards me With their points, Their slowly-paced Pulsing stars And there was nothing but Watery mist and them Seems like I awoke too late Or too early

Diagonal ribbs of stone Sharp Steep Sparkling Gleaming Though dry Winds take care of that They fill the grooves of the solid Where reflections and shadows Perform their dances That they've learned from falling leaves This is a pedestal for night This lump was begotten by it Night has swallowed the moon So smooth and round and white And spit this rough rock at earth So I could sit before its wall And watch the swing As fires eat wood There's plenty of it around In this starless dark

The starless stone
He has coffee in his blood, He dances with brown camels. White wide paths of knives Are curved deep among the mountain passes Of ribs wrapped in soft desert of skin. A tongue athlet and a sound alchemist, A reluctant nomad with wheat hair, Who's driven by his crazy-grooving heart So rarely though so far. Sometimes a train, sometimes a net, Sometimes a piece of paper Will take him. But most often he is joining with genies In their bottles. And spirits take him To the caves, the deep blood-vessels. He's silent mostly and his back is bent Though he is tall. He walks all cloaked in weary clothes And idle anger both. As it dictates him his prideful eagle's nose. He bears also marks of roots, Of runes, of flame, of anchors, Dancers. His bones look at you in their clutches From beneath the skin Of his thin fingers. He builds the towers shaky, Weak. And so, they're almost living, Breathing. He've found a cat in a banana And lets it live inside his elbow. The grey in northern sky is his. He reached his fine hands And left it there. He touched the sun And then again. He put it in his lighter With his fingertips. So he occasionally has a light from the sun. He prays to metal and walks two roads at once. He tolls the tree from which he hails. He hangs from a branch. Or does he just stand Downwords and his back is lying on The branch on which he stands? He buried his gold and digs it out only For fire and jokes, for bitter and smoke. A cow of three eyes and a bee on his blazen Are joing in drawing.

A handful of blood And a goodbye kiss, Midday, September And a warm though last summer breeze. She puts hands on his cheeks, Wind caresses their hair. He has a ****** chin, Farewell-full lips and her last glare. His hands slip from a pat, Sun ignites her curlstack. She bears his last glance at The ribbed jugate shields of her near-fluid back.

It ends
Seven knights ride out to planes Out of castles made of blades They ride out at dawn in sunlight From the towerbearing walls From the corners midst the mountains To the sleeping town of old Their spears ****** the skyroof Their flags, they clap like thunder Their swords strike at their hips Their steeds rip air asunder One is playing the guitar Like a brook he's spilling sounds One's a boy that's dressed a shepard Shepard's staff's his fragile weapon Chosen cautiously to suit His humble role - to play a flute One bears trumpets full of noise Each as heavy as a rock Though he carries all of those On his narrow skinny back One is striking at his chest With both hands to prove the others That of them he fits the bets For the role of battle drummy One of them is singing bare: "Nothing holy heard a prayer" Other wields a violin Disharmonic chords cross strings And the tension and the fever The discord, the primal fear - His inhuman melody Spreads around and makes birds flee From the rare darkbarked trees One is riding solemnly When they meet before the town When they reach the sleeping town Then they'll wake the sleeping town Then they'll show the sleeping town That before it lies a desert That has eyes that you can never Count. "Can you keep sleeping now?" Silent Knight will ask the town.

Seven knights, a town, a desert
I think you still got lightning in you Since the storm of the black beacon sound Punishing winds can be heared in your breaths And you surely still have a flooded heart High tides rise in you The salt spray of waves Goes over your eyelids There's much to rebuild But the harvest of your soil I believe shall be abundant

Your kingdom was swept with moonlight
Does it help that life is music if you happen to be a drum?

I breathe in From the demon lung And it's crumbling With mechanical clanking sound Air like fire Filled with sulphur and copper Dances on my tongue A plastic and metal cat is purring A giant one I can feel vibrations entering my skull And the heat surrounds me Sticky, hazy, dull
