Pierced the Darkness
Onoma Jul 2018
sleep comes slowly for her...

like a death willing to hear

her out.

it is in that intimacy she begins

the excruciating withdrawl

from the body that two made one.

i can feel her, and have sobbed so

hard broken lights pierced the

darkness.

One Night of Ink
Onoma Jun 2023

as one night of

ink runs off the

Blue Bus, Blue Sky
Onoma Nov 2015
The passengers board
the blue bus...it's full.
The passengers unboard
the blue bus...it's empty--
destinationless.
The blue sky's likeness.

Swapping Magic
Onoma Feb 2017
Young with hour,
swapping magic
wing for wing--

Ontologic ring,
scene-setting-sun...
wane orange with origin.

Wan with sigh,
as time breathed through
the mind.

Pointed Out of a Crowd
Onoma Jul 2022
the words that

have vehemently refused

to come...have been

pointed out of a crowd.

bearing auric marks

akin to infamies in Judea.

they are only beholden to

what they will reveal.
*Thank G*d they mean what they mean--never to be broken by an untrue defining.

Impossible Circumference
Onoma May 2016
As a child's arms

how much they're
Loved...an impossible
circumference is lit

Hangman's Odds
Onoma Apr 2017
The sound of a barrel's bottom

scraped, drunk with unresponsive

depths, you can't go back--as much

as go forward.

Here means here.

So why did you weld a gold crown

to this skull, to fence what cannot

be committed to memory?

These ****** rills carrying along

loose change--off with heads, off

with tails!

Free a hangman's odds of appearing

out of thin air...letters trying

words, words trying meanings.

Their poem cleaning up well...

made up to be stared in the face.

Snowed Out Labyrinths
Onoma Dec 2019
cabin fever--

snowed out labyrinths

reconfiguring, think:

The Shining.

Santa's trailing laughter.

the orange arms of a

fireplace giving and receiving...

as one cozying up to themself.

with periodic cold drafts breathing

on deeds done.

that which secludes to find...

chestnuts roasting from within, smoke

offerings.

Above This Big One
Onoma Jan 2019
i watched the

aerial grabs of

seagulls at sunset.

they were so on

about something.

their bellies flamed

an original orange.

i kept muttering to

them, Hail Mary to

eyes having a word.

they were so well fed--

by something other

than food.

networking cities of G*d...

above this "big" one.

Remote as Caves

Lovely Little Worms
Onoma Apr 2017
By bobbing heels, and stunted leap,
bright pride robustly breasted--carries
its voice to eloquently trace these
steady blows.
As the jagged breaks of love dance the
drunkenness of their surreptitious seas.
There's no catching what falls for flight, ill-contained
as if by space challenged...two fleshy fruits, thinned
at the veil, bare love's lovely little worms.

Final Revision
Onoma Feb 2017
There's a straight line

through any word that

tries you...stern with

final revision.

The improvisational

trail of what you leave

behind.

Voided words better than

a blank page, a

silenced voice made

visible.

Change Is Noted
Onoma Aug 2015
No space is inconsequential...
wherever you may be, for
however long, change is noted
on the deepest level, the most
loving level.
How can a passing thought,
a passing bird, on a passing
wind be inconsequential?

Spherical Ice Sculpture
Onoma Nov 2020
a void can be felt akin to

a spherical ice sculpture,

suspended by space--but

where space cannot follow.

its surface teems with fly-like

suns, where apathy melts and

falls into blackened mouths.

that utter far more torturous

things than thirst, one being:

goodnight...with no relief.

an end as sight, seeing therefrom.

Favored Pore
Onoma Feb 2017
Torpor went about
doorsteps, writhing
for full feel.
Each motion overextended
in hellish laze--who chose
this concatenation to knock
these knocks?
Whose flamed tips forcefully
enter, inscribe smoke upon
a doorway's horizontal beam.
Come, everything that can
happen, is happening to me
as you leer, magnify your
favored pore.
Plus or minus, please perceive--
this equals the same set of responses
in Equal Measure.
Reverting to one another, as a moistened
line that slides a blinking eye.

Chock-full of Crazy
Onoma May 2017
morning lay like totaled
freedom, wish i could sew
its breeze to my chest and
wear it as a name tag.
sleep was beyond the cost
of damages.
there's a week to work through,
and today is another day?
what is it to forget to blink,
in a bypass of mind, a trickle
of drool at the side of the mouth?
how optical can an illusion get
while in daily activity?
another glug of coffee fails to
enrich the details, the nervous
system blinkers.
the capacity for joy, is proportional
to that of sorrow...every weekend
forgoes that wisdom.
be it chock-full of crazy.
it's the only way.

Quill The Redeemer
Onoma Mar 2019
as his quill furiously scratched

its itch, on parchment paper prone

to stains of meaning.

that yellowed scrolled plane, that

time wasted tough--drank ink faster

than could be applied.

his hand hastily shed serpentine skin

three and a half times round the

waist of the earth.

while the growth marks of gods were

etched on columns that towered over

towering heights.

a swarm of winged demons swelled

curious over his quill, leering and toppling

over his shoulder.

in fits of fall they fell in my inkwell...blacked

out by the potentia of words.

truly meaning to mean anew, a lure proving

more evil if denied.

Drag the Rain
Onoma Oct 2013
I've seen water grow an accent spoken to me
in broken ground, as would have it downpour.
Children alighted footfalls in delirious splashes--
their shoelaces seemed to give way in a fine
flop.
A film hurled downward from the wisest cloud,
tracing the fissures spending Way.
Power lines sent their crosses in a stream of
charged black channeling voices.
A rampant discourse pulled itself toward a sun's
depravity...a sleek glint dazed the unmade face
of every seeming thing.
A flashing knot tore out of some exquisite depth
to confront...what seemed aslant because a mass
of clouds poured down.
A knot drummed by what set foot, to set off feet
that drag the rain...give it the character it could
never have otherwise.

Attracts to Mend
Onoma Jun 2019
eyes cross staring at the

Narrow Way,

till the chaste *****

of the third eye breaks...

where the apparency of

refracted light filtering

thru the material world

attracts to mend.

then there is nothing

but candles upon the altar.

God-years
Onoma Aug 2016
Butterflies bang away at

kinds of color in its

Of my tales...you were

Without question you
used god-years laden
heavy with the most
curious wisdom.

Joe's Scrapped Memo
Onoma Apr 2017
city surf pulling through
the ears, cars breaking air.
eating this Joe down to me,
four walls blink back at the
breach of security.
creaky floorboards, fibrous
webs weighing dry saps
next door.
having to wear the reverberations
of their foot-filled minds.
leaky toilet lightly twitters...
eyes scan the corners of objects
in skips of beat.
the shadow of a bird flies across
the ribs of an antiquated radiator.

She Could Shed the Body
Onoma Feb 2017
Creamy pale yellow moths,

translucently glom the buttery

mists of sunlight's skin, hers.

Naked with vision, redefining

outlines of afterglows...prickling grids,

as if she could shed the body.

Alert Me to My Stable
Onoma Mar 2017
A liturgical darkness pains the

wriggling web of a praying star.

Hardwon quietude differentiates

obsolete centers to contrive the

offing.

Timeless hands go up in deflection,

as to abort the scene.

Whose spelling could not boast a

mouth synchronous with them.

The growth spurt of insult to injury

topples a bucket of well water

down the throat.

Alas, at morning...alert me to my

stable, that I may act in accordance.

While Roaming
Onoma Sep 2019
ask yourself this...

while you become

the hypocritical that.

as always--to those

concerned, what power

drew your eyes to read

into these words?

what made them a doorway?

they mean something to you.

they want to show you some

kind of way, they're spatially

unchallenged when they look

dead in G*d's eyes

for your Self-sake.

the first and the last breed, breed

sons not of Man.

as women bear birth,

so they might feel for themselves.

these two hands wash the

blood out of water

to clarify nothing.

except...

the Word of their

mouth to dash across the

tongue of their drink,

ever parched.

only visions of water.

Jeshua too passed out and

in with the devil while

roaming.

Periodic Table of Gods

the periodic table of gods--

Not Necessarily in Flight

this bay-skied easel works

pastels off the frame, to a

baby's palette off the face

as a cooling breeze birds--

with the moving images

of birds not necessarily

in flight.

or in view just now.

the seagrass loosens the

tide as antennas in reception,

picking up on the shadowed

cavities of distant trees

whitening birds

trying to come in.

the smell of sea salt heavy

Her Own Voice

to speak what will

command to Wake

Does Not Disavow
