Holding on with hands so cold,
waiting for the moment to let go,
to step through the door
onto dimensions unseen.
Breaking out from the daydream
into the stars
You look back upon us
through an electric eye.
The sky will never be the same.

Clouds slowly swirl,
bulging fat with juice.
Waves erupt,
crashing into dark sands.
Wind slaps the arched back of the sea
with a whistling hand,
spraying salty water into black.
Flashes of white
numb your brain with light
Falling rain glistens
around strobes of shadow
pasted on bent palms.
Open your eyes.
It all subsides.
Sunshine.

Rising with resistance,
eyes glued shut attempt
to flicker with dissidence.
Floodgates burst with roaring light.
Grogs of apparent dust
roll from the tongue
as the throat swallows Velcro.
The brain and the heart switch places,
pounding with impatient adrenaline.
The internal rooster has crowed.
Stand up.

Her brain is a groaning throat.
Vibrating pipes.
Malevolence drips from her nostrils
like slowly sliding slime.
Fever creeps through her reason,
sickening tissue to black.
Try licking the wounds
and the tongue turns to pus.
Her heart a ticking time bomb,
ready to explode into meaningless molecules.
Whimpering innocently oozes from
clear blue eyes.
The tears fall from your eyes.

Muscles peacefully twitch.
The light of consciousness
shrivels to dim as I fall
further into warm darkness.
The brain starts to paint.
Like seeing the world
for the first time
through dreamy eyes,
your smiling face
emerges from blackness.

Did someone give you the wrong script?
Those aren’t the right lines!
You’ve lost the recipe to life
What's the missing ingredient?
In five miles, turn right
The map flew out the window
No No No No No
This is how it should go.
Status quo
**** it

Liquor lazily drips
from lonely lips
Tears flow from broke
blood red eyes
Cold invades
a once warm heart
Clothing torn to tatters
along with a life
Spare change from sorry pockets
rattle against embarrassed tin
Ashamed he walks
dreaming of yesterday’s life

An unknown lunch feeds
a rally of starving flames
Smoke pollutes the grassy afternoon air
with sweet, stomach aching aroma
The wandering yellowish belches
offer the only smoky clue

Hyde of leather and eyes of dirt
No blood, no fluids
just ancient bronzed bones
The dead man moans
with a dried mummified tongue
sealed in a mouth of maggot breath
Dust plumes outward like smoke
with every gargled holler
Every step sounding like
a crumpling paper bag
He walks, he stumbles, drunk
back into the shadows

Lids open with a snap
to thick, almost solid,
streams of moonlight
In the silver haze,
Black holes peer
from an alabaster face
Complete paralysis
crushes my hope of escape
every skin cell stitched to the sheets
My mind terrified,
my body tingling
with unexpected relaxation
Waves of calm roll
through every muscle
turning me to nothing
feeling as if my bones
have vanished with
the interrupted dream
The swing of a medallion
through beams of static light
My eyes swivel in their sockets
Skinny fingers snap
Everything turns to black
