To calm a beast
To wash the dirt out of southwest
To soothe the raging storm
To move bones and black poison
To quiet a locomotive mind
To be the sunshine in California
On your winters day
I promise I will

Space is the womb
Of an unknown mother
In which the universe is waiting to be born

Pink downy flakes on a baked orange florescent
Drifting calmly into the night
The day has ended
Smooth and lazy
Like a tabby on a sultry summer afternoon
And it feels like tenderness or nostalgia
Or a dream
the tranquility of a light breeze
trees of deep mantis green and birds of all kinds
Sing a lullaby
As crickets come out for the finally
The world floats into sleep

Stranger living in this
world all alone

I know your journey
Is strenuous
Long

But don't ask me to
And please don't call

Just keep on walking
Ramble on

I used to be gorgeous at one time
With long flowing dark deep hair
And skin and eyes to match
Then one day
My skin grew pale
My eyes stale
And my smile corroded away

Maggots in my sockets and
Bugs squirming through my thoughts

All beauty gets wasted

And I was intoxicated too

Shatter that glitter
Dark blue glass
Christmas bulb
And I'll pray they all go out
All at once
Leaving eyes blind as they should be
Blind as you should be
Sitting there with your nothing
Muttering to yourself in the pitch
Saying something about how I don't understand
And
something about how I lie
If you were awake
at least half as awake as you say you are
It wouldn't take so long to pull the sleep out of your eye
It wouldn't take so long
even in the dark
to see
