Unkempt words
and sounds
fearful and alone
find one another
in shallow sand
they mean to be
heard and held
mouthed over
and over and again

Constraints arrive as I open this site
tightening fear and degrading hope
a nd i elope with tv and cabernet
slicing in   and out of this haircut
of drift

I drift from my drif t
ing

Complaints arise as I open this rite
tightening fear and degrading hope
a nd i elope with descriptions a nd
slipping in  a nd out this this question
of drift

a study of beauty the musicality
of the bulging awareness or not
in d issonance to assonance we cling like
wet cabbage leaves in the porcelain sink
some things are bet ter finely ground
i have found such handsy syllables

out of grasp conflationary soup for one
is seasoned and ready tho i bought a mix
inhalations of craven veins distilled no salt
have you felt of vanquishing a foe whole
you see i have these episodes of nerves quit ting
at beginnings middles and ends or otherwise

and so dear readers our hero wanders away
delirious in a narrow band of certainty
held tightly by something other than hands

I'm holstered and, for the moment
safe to be around none of that
that nonsense as usual business
tonight, not tonight, tonight
there are commas and caution
is not thrown, in this w indy a way
as i've not got any to throw

not lurching into
whatever you think i might
lurch into

lowered to binary we squirm
flattened and catered
lunches in boxes are nice
aren't they
there's usually a cookie
and chips

Atttractive eople oing
attractive things
lead us until
the hardening of the way
to be broken
crusting the new way
hard and broke
grinning tiime swallowing
and still saying now
the other shore
snuffling wav es
sounding

I've looked up having just
stepped out and the sky
is blue and suddenly holds me
out of wherever i had been
out of everything yet arms down
I yield skin to heat shut eyes to light
artery red warm light filters in
fragmenting in my appreciation
either side some dancing on  
seems to have been called for

I owe you an apology
for all these attempts
these rents of garments
these - i swallow -
hesitations upon keys
