Signs the Cross
Onoma Jan 2017
When the brain
is skinned by
ceasuras of light...
the uni-verse
signs the cross
of its bloom.

One Long Confession
Onoma Aug 2016
If darkness is
one long confession,
light drives it to
exhaustion.

The Infinite Dressing Room
Onoma Sep 2014
The Infinite Dressing Room...
dresses the finite only.
As what changes does so
within the Changeless.

Undressed Wound
Onoma Mar 2017
All having come from

an undressed wound,

whose fully enveloped

bloom knows the ****** tug

of the moon.

We her mad children, pulled

from the trauma unit of

creation...spend a lifetime

trying to stay with what's in

front of us.

Times's blackout trifecta...

whose lapsing present seems

to always beg: stay with me!

To the Touch
Onoma Mar 2017
There are edges lined

with fingers more soluble

than salt--they feel for

preservation.

The equal agency

of nature, shaped indelibly

to the touch.

You figure into surfaces

that only exist because of

their depths.

The ratios of chills register.

Blind Milk
Onoma Jan 2017
At the peak of
presence imposed,
wet with rise and
fall...you eulogized
something that could
not escape us.
We grounded the sky,
we skied the ground...
the circumvented posts
of our eyes ran as blind milk.

Growth in Tidal Surges
Onoma Oct 2021
as land left

off its wilt, growth

in tidal surges.

forming pyramidal heads

of mountains.

any vista is a clarity...

too suitable for a discerning

mind.

She's one hell of a dancer...

strong enough to remain on

the ground with no one around.

till lifted way up.

Trident

Monotonia
Onoma Jan 2017
Crowning canopies
of trees,  mid monotonia
to their wood, huddled
in prayer.
Cobwebed against the great ultramarine Eight--
brittle scintillas, gloaming
to vespers.

Allows Appearance

Words Are Flies

Words are flies
praying over the

Bide my Clarity
Onoma Feb 2019
the sky cannot follow what

it has occasioned, so i bide my

clarity through snow.

the ground becoming a vast

return, indistinguishably white

from the sky.

now and again--there's nowhere

for a moment to go.

Tempest's Assistance
Onoma Jun 2018
amalgamated June,
you've yet again been
taken up by the year
of your lord--
furrowed brow spread
fast to the skull,
glazed in contemplative
oils.
high noon drop down
of sun's cymbal...
clanging at the rim,
in gushes of sound.
all coming alive around
you, now square the peace of
minds that seek survival.
divvy it up, bury that
parsimonious fist, and
apportion the newborn
and seasoned alike!
assure all with that snappy
blue sheet you fly and
fan a blizzard of cottonwood
seeds with.
these keynote speakers of
silence you undo the land
with, as they touch all the
right and wrong places.
swelling a lubricious humidity,
a writhing--cut suddenly free.
quicksilver fish, lightning--
kindle-coal, ****.
in need of tempest's assistance--
June!
Onoma Aug 2023
an Alpha roar is lifted

& dropped down on this wilderness

once.

as the predation of aloneness

disperses.

its raw throat rations the meal

of a first ****--with no one but Self...

because something died when born.

as every re attached to that born,

feeds Omega.

New Number
Onoma May 2017
Of all observable phenomena,
you persist most favorably.
A circular hub of arrows aimed
at a center already hit, dislodging
freedom.
Arrowheads split down a hair.
Epiphanous bulbs counting
the new number needed to
stay conscious.
Of you.

Steady Feed

Her Throat
Onoma Jun 2019
what is it to wake up

and weep?

have the pits of your

eyes crushed?

she gives me the Ganges.

as my crown arcs it's

fiercely proud sputter--

she watches clear mala

beads spray into the cave

of my Spiritual Heart.

Mothering shattering

experience.

She's so thirsty--from

giving, that her One drink's

a full remembrance.

it is there that water clears

her throat--and I kiss it.

Fully & Truly.

To Become Lucid
Onoma Jun 2016
Does every
sense perception
dream exclusively?
If so, they're bound
to get lost...and
emerge out of one
another.
Eventually agreeing
to meet at the same
spot...to become
lucid.

Wisdom Called Out
Onoma Oct 2018
wisdom refuses

its words, as words

refuse their wisdom.

though appearing as

succinct expression...

there's no reflection

caught in realization.

no shakti to shed what

you would call wisdom.

Minny Moons
Onoma Jan 2019
it is dark enough

to be dined upon,

as if every motion

were a mouth.

in a forest whose

stomach has expanded

to desolation.

it is there a pack of wolves

surrounded me.

they smelt of burning firewood,

their matted fur popped electric

blue static.

they just kept circling me slowly,

not a growl to be heard.

then in graceful unison, they lowered

themselves to the ground and rolled

over.

exposing their bellies to me, i fell to my

knees and gave each wolf a belly rub

with a hand that felt no longer my own.

minny moons, orb-like replicas began falling...as i

watched some land on the wolves bellies and dissolve.

we out-howled the confines of earthly joy.

above us, that's what she was already

crying with.

Note Come to a Head
Onoma Jan 2017
We spend a lifetime
as the living intensity
of what bore us here.
A comet unstrung...

The fore came-to full of fare,
holy-hushed.

The Shape of Things
Onoma Jun 2019
though a circle dissolves--

never underestimate its

memory.

it is far more than the

shape of things.

how many oceans has

it married--tell me?

how many is it marrying,

will marry?

there does come a time

when you get centered

in it--with your greatest love.

to finally let go of the shape

of things.

Dog-eared Day-dream
Onoma Mar 2017
Life, you're a broad enough word to

address this mere question:

why have you dreamt me so?

A wide-eyed clod outdone by a wider

grin, won't you tell?

You who'll dream the bones of me,

let on...spill the beans to your baby

boy.

I'm in fine condition to smooth the

flap of that dog-eared day-dream.

There's nothing I could offer you, is

there, a butterfly perhaps?

Aren't you the least tickled by the sly

prods of these questions, desirous as

they are...I suspect they beget more

dreams of me, best to shut up now.

Splashes of Craziness
Onoma Dec 2019
splashes of craziness paint

the blood of the wine--

blotch and splotch a bed

tirelessy made and unmade.

love's fevered rouse bolting

up, bones not knowing what

hit them.

scratch that--they know what

hit them, hence the craziness.

Hunger Knows
Onoma Jun 2014
In the belly of burden,
flesh was held by
flesh.
Life drew life...as
that which hungers herself,
nourishes another hunger.
More full than this, there
is not...more empty than
this, there is not.
As the draw deepens...
hunger Knows what it
belabors.

Vital Queen
Onoma Apr 2018
the world is
full of
people who can't
make eye
contact.
so you stare
them down
all at
once,
and come out through
the back
of their heads.
keep going baby girl,
blink back
their
divided houses.
follow the waving beam of
light.
you vital Queen,
slouch in
your throne
and
scratch your
******!
make mercy beg
for your
forgiveness,
leave your
scent upon
the "blind deaf
stone".
sell *** back to
itself, if it
cheapen the
thrall of your
ecstasy.
yours is the only
dance i know
truer than
matter,
as matter.
you lost your
mind to smaller
ones, who could
not find proof of yours.

Half's Whole Spectrum
Onoma Apr 2018
to hate with a hate that
scandalizes half of hell--
to love with a love that
scandalizes half of heaven.
moreover, as one another.
merely par for the course.
whole as lungs in the
balance of air, for what's
risen has fallen.
what's fallen has risen.
as every truth a tired
hypocrisy.

Coffer

To Emanate a Song
Onoma May 2017
Starting to emanate a song--
can't say about the 5 W's.
It doesn't belong to me.
It starts in and pushes, pushes
and pushes--till I can't breathe.
To the melody of the way things
gotta be.
I'm lost in composition, it's
far greater than me.
Steadily taking hellos and goodbyes
for all their worth.
It cuts through all these senses in an
attempt to multiply them.
What a song... I'm caving in
to the point of entering a new world.
There's nothing but space, seated on
the ground cross legged.
Riding vibrations that take what they
want.
Till I don't want them to stop, because
there's nothing left.
Only this song at the drop of a head,
as if every note picked a flower.

Cut to The Cliff
Onoma Mar 2019
overarching angel--

guardian to this exile,

as love cut to the cliff.

a footfall from plunge--

grimaces at the stranding

long of the blue.

as if the sun were casting

the sparks of aspersions.

while simpering salts

season fish and devils--

wiling away their lot of depth.

if shore be shelter, let this no

man's land be worth spit!

as waste is laid the length of a

man without a woman's touch.

Counting by Heart

Something therein lives...

Opened by degree...

all us fools rushing into your

exitless fire.

the burnt offering of your

drossless mercy.
