I have a million thoughts but no words to share.

sir humbug
the job of the artist
is to be
luminous and dangerous

luminous to others
by being
dangerous to themselves

when the words are ripped from the chest,
atmosphere disbursed by the body’s projectile messes,
starburst fireworks,
luminous and dangerous,
luminating the shared night,
laminating your truths,
in poems disguised


and so the job,
our work,
begins

It’s the silence of a room
Combined with the absence of rationality
That dips a finger into my brain
And swirls the chemicals until they overflow

Two states of inanimate nothingness
Allow my body to drown
But I don’t want to admit
That nothing mixed with everything, debilitates my very being
Hey, you

Yeah, you

Always be sure to

stay true

to what you

know is true

to you
It is what?
What it is.
He is what?
What he is.
She is what?
What she is.
They are what?
What they are.
You are what?
What you are.
We are what?
What we are.
I am what?
What I am.
What am I?
What I am.
Believe or not, everything what we all are; it's really what we are.

With your own breath

Bringing dead language

To life.

Speak
Speak
Speak

The language
Stolen
Suppressed

The colonial
The PC
And
The new Puritan.

Speak I say
And write-

Miracle can
Does
Happen

With breath

Bellicose and intelligent
Just like you and me
That's my brother, calling
To me for
Support
I can't reach him
Like the snowy mountains hide the
Sun behind the dark peak
Just orbiting the glory
Of beauty
The Solar system revels in
The surreal soul
Of that jejune jester
My border collie

The Sun keeps our Universe
In the light of the infinite

If you must fall in love
fall in love
with life

it won't make you live
with a broken heart
I learned something really funny today. The dictionary actually defines 'heart-whole' as being 'not in love'.

life is just
a serving of time
disguised

but as spinach
or chocolate cake?
