A hatching flower Etched between sidewalk, In cracked and broken space Aches for the sun even Further away than us people With our trampling boots Relieving the demented spider nearby her duty of Spinning a knotted web. The universe is all tied up in us With our smoke and mirrors Day jobs and animal *** Our complacencies age while youthful rage feeds hope for a new day— no sickness just bliss And if we really are reflective of our God now, they must burst the cosmos out of It’s empty socket by thrusting pure frustration into a pregnant void I wonder if they can see it unfold at once like all notes of a symphony screaming in a splitting tone, Or if they’re bound to each atom Stirring their own ***

Life from the eyes of a sidewalk flower
Mother With the broken home Scattered mind and loose animals Break the curse cast upon you From your deserted lover (before It’s too late) Make meals for the hungry Children not of your own, but those belonging to God’s mystery surrogate The one who owns sky scrapers because the compensation was high While you twiddle needles of spring I can tell You are no goddess, your skin Is all marked up with time lines Your eyes hold cups of suffering While your hands shake Body balancing two extremes in empty space Gives you more weight Your heart freezes over so you Can manage singing past the warfare — damaged — Into a microphone for an empty bar on Sunday Begging for change While make up runs down the river of your face Your home is chaos But you love like fate and Let the rat who stole your bread feed it’s young in your cupboard  because You would do the same

Mother
Fish bodies filter Water of life Nightmares come open faced Polluted seas have no blame Disease has no blame However unasked for Remains cold and real; Answer is trees Their wild statures lay strong in Death bed of atmosphere Broken-limbed and worn Waiting for things with wings In open womb to be born Setting wet souls free (But what does that mean)

A tear in fin and wing
We are strangers Yet my heart is open to you Soon to be neighbors is the American Dream Not a greed machine feeding nothing but Chauvinistic pleasure Nor is learning how to hoard resources to one side of a body or border an active vision anymore Instead this night aspires for green trees untouched except by skin, a home and morale for the fallen and free, even more varied cuisines All faces spring forth just as fluently here, no need for same speak as we may share a smile and nod just as easily, duly noting Our colors and diversity, who is suitably similar to the landscapes travelled throughout the states, a testimony to Our uniquely cultured experience which yearns to preserve forever under sparks and sprinklers in summer when things grow for all; For me, for them, For us, for We.

America Dreaming
when will this skin transcend into an iron exoskeleton? when will these bones birth out from neath the fragile wine red wires of self-preservation? water-hands ebb on about a digital dam of evolution, meanwhile promising my-own ****** dissolution.

water-hands
After all i've earned them the subtle pull and swift replacement,     the golden gain gifted      from a soul dentist I accept the strange medicine and sense Suddenly my core forever chasing the great sulfur in circles as I fall adrift     The wanting sleep which      closes all eyes after end of sky Behind mine observes a screen of Out-knocked teeth and offput blood Pft out in a porcelian sink The glass just above displays swollen   tears and my Soul transforming from Learned lead and cold iron into August and Nothing bleak like my Now unique two front It takes awhile but I have a new smile at me Twist the Brass doorknob upside down on it's axis and Walk away from the abuse cycle owning The tired metal middle of earth cracking Outer mold revealing a Levitating ball of God who Now unbound Seeks six-thirty post midnight High plains and Holy painted solace With bruises yellowing I scream drive into tunnels where the warm streetlights racing in my periphery know I am the glowing go of life And will never grow old despite Losing a couple given ones

Golden teeth
Glass roses of blue Cigarettes and amaretto Served with milk tears Candy giggles take it back Build a house from what's lacking Break black ties and Want to wear heels out For no one but The television and Steam mangling in a box I need to get off frail mind lines like Dreading time Loving this lipstick and I am not a girl anymore I filthy my own nest And i'm blind as I am blessed

Lonely velvet night
If I owned any power i'd spend it in an instant Every wish granted steals a speck of my soul But with this blow Preserve my purity please Help me unsee the ******* sway of trees and Settle down those birds in the dirt Reverse the men who capitalise on my void With dark magic toys of survival, made with some militant oil Erase the permanent crease in my face when time serves worry Wipe off the artificial laughter on them, Cut off their hair and Let us share it for our glad communion Let me feel my own body Without the ******* and reaching Of wild flies at me like some flesh sun Leave the well bitten life to run rampant and free I have nothing to believe in now, but something beautiful like you, steal this suffering and Give it to stillness instead Have it grieve and breathe in The future leaving, Now, if only wishes Made the world unbroken.

Catharsis to a fragile ****
A safe place for me is Behind the scribbles of my surroundings Below the noise and talk To wrap it up and put it away Is a gift I can own, no guilt No games, only immersing my body in the whitest sheets imaginable With a touch of hair and A lemon juice smile A push of my hips and Seeing my eyes out What more could I ask for this while Except more secrets A whisper, a flame A pillow with color A mirror with no reins Reflecting the plant alive in the corner and Knowing I am not insane I'm sitting on carpet and feeling the ceiling through My skin, precious like skin Yet so filmy and thin And if you should ask I don't grave it I cool it and Taste like fresh cucumber rain I don't feed pain anymore, I just Let it go again and again With the blades turning Watching the blame returning I send it off with a love spree Then it's silent in me and I am free with only one foot off the ground

Safe Place
transcendence does not mean surpassing, moving above transcendence is living through opposite ends of the spectrum simultaneously, or even being it without experience, here, still there is without eyes to gaze upon the mystery of coherent light touchable without a hand i am born again again and again and again until i transcend into an unlookable expanse within and without of myself how do i know?
