 Aug 2014 Invocation
Kristen Lowe
I’m lying in bed tearing my cuticles  off and rubbing my calves together
And personhood is oozing out from the cracks in these walls

I’m exhaling complacency.

I wonder who you’re thinking about when you fall asleep
And what’s dripping from the ceiling
In a room I’ve probably been in

Summer threw itself from thunderclouds
And the person I picked up out of the rainwater
Isn’t me anymore, just droplets of something vacuous

Which is exactly how you feel now
Constantly expanding and pushing me into the negative space around you
All of this is negative
All of me is empty
All this feels like is space

Infinite miles of outer space into forever

“Forever”

Like I said.
Vacuous.

Love
 Aug 2014 Invocation
Curtis
I long to love
No
I live to love
As we all do
To passers-by
I ask how do you do?
And stick around
For the desire to know
Is truth
So I love
The things I see
And the people i meet
I'm merely just waiting
For my special treat
It has got to be just around the corner.
Which corner? That corner? That corner is quite far, how about that corner? The one near the bar? Please don't tell me, it's among the stars, I haven't a spaceship... I shall build one! With endless corners inside, maybe then you will be found, when it is ready to ride?

A sour day
Turns sweet
With every wonderful person
That I meet

History
 Aug 2014 Invocation
Curtis
In this place
Housing history
The air seems still

From old coffee
And the cup where it rests
To the garment
Once embracing gentle *******
And many mens eyes

Left now
To hold tight
To a woman
Of plastic

Notes placed
And misplaced
Some to be seen
Behind a glass case

All things
To never change
Only occasionally
To be forgotten
Worin' at the Richfield Historical Society

Curtis
It is not easy
To express
The way I see
Happiness

Heat
A property of matter
And its absence
Can make things easily shatter

Light
Waves and reflections
Without it
Dark is to be mentioned

Sorrow
Through my veins
Rotting and rusting
My wonderful brain

Sorrow
And the lack thereof
Turns my head
To smile at the sun

Fractals

Acknowledge fractals.
Infinity can be found,
In all small places.

Stunning
 Aug 2014 Invocation
Curtis
The word to describe
The beauty behind your eyes
Has to be stunning
 Aug 2014 Invocation
Curtis
It's all about energy
The things that matter need
Is the same for humans to be
See...

Potential,
Kinetic,
And.
Thermal.
Mostly.

Everyone should be
Floating atop it all,
Always ready
For their
Biggest fall
Holding steady
And standing tall
                                                    
Hoping,­
Or,
Knowing.

That you wont
Fall
Will finish, got distracted per the usual
 Aug 2014 Invocation
Curtis
What difference
Is the significance
Of the objects on display
Opposed to what I wear today
I don't know that anyone could say
