Nigredo Alchemy
Onoma Dec 2023
a capped lens' burst mode--in

Parisian catacombs.

Beksinski's monolithic chiseling

with the feather of Maat.

airbrushed putrefaction, whose

spray recondenses fog--to harden the

elevation of stripped faces.

medieval hillsides of conflating greenery,

cryptified human stage work to avoid being

burned at the stake.

the rattle tattle of bones banging away on a

silent bell.

ensuring the lip of its upside down cup can recoat

further wanderings--or leave be.

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.

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.

Slowly Stripped
Onoma Mar 2017
Being slowly stripped

of obsessive compulsion,

unable to creature the habits of X--

its greater pains taken by

pains taken.

Volitional deductions, and

inferences...alibis and motives

scarring a madman's template.

Ram-shouldered entries

through paper thin doors, in response

to off color remarks on his meta-physique.

Isn't nature self-regulating, why shouldn't

it produce freaks of like control?

To assemble variables thereof, Warholian

assembly lines stockpiling non perishables

for unseen disasters.

To man, to woman the reins is a most

satisfying illusion...spurring on the tramping boisterousness.

We like formalities, dress rehearsals, the arteries

of maps...to run our fingers down,

nonplussed by their pulse.

We know that we don't know, today the weathermen

completely butchered the forecast, of this wouldbe

blizzard.

Time is already filtering their accountability.

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.

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?

Daily Bread Rising
Onoma Nov 2013
Non erasable, maligned

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Over The Perimeter
Onoma Mar 2019
blue with smoke--

stunned with atmosphere,

softest to the touch.

you **** with your

my love arrives, and i can

hardly stand it.

you hang there my moon--

cathartically there my moon.

God-years
Onoma Aug 2016
Butterflies bang away at

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

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,

Open Eyes Underwater

Attracts to Mend

eyes cross staring at the

Narrow 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.

Periodic Table of Gods

the periodic table of gods--

Her Own Voice
Onoma Jun 2019
the Voice of voices

detaches itself...

to speak what will

enter the ear.

truer than the harried

command to Wake

to a given morning.

that falls deaf on her--

as silence is not the

absence of sound.

she's so full of giving...

that for once, let her

hear her own voice~

Not Necessarily in Flight
Onoma Sep 2019
this bay-skied easel works

pastels off the frame, to a

baby's palette off the face

of the earth.

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

as a sacrificial animal, trailed

by imploding senses.

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.

Scarcely

day it's put to,
as if put out by.

great care...dying space
smote with great care.
For love

hence Love the more.
The only way to assuage
such clarity.

Does Not Disavow
Onoma Sep 2019
a river does not balk when

surrendering to an Ocean--

it does not disavow its

forward motion.

it runs with what it means--

surrender.

it does not sidestep its promise.

there's too much singular force of

faith and surety.
