there is i have said pouring full of mountains

LOVE

full and mountains

in the east of my heart they are

in the west of my heart you are

and between them soares nothing is
flat  for though rain

which falls and nurses barren dirt
a seed each drop
flutters into bloom
and love between
pouring mountains rains

I broke my engagement today
I stared down
The double-barrels
Of
Holy matrimony
And decided
I wanted to live
A little while longer
stop writing oceans
words are no place for water
so take a second...

so take it away
the typewriter tidepools
the pauses...
the pulsing punctuation
of salt
and sand and stone

stop writing oceans
or your metaphors
make sense
only every six hours
your voice will drown
in aqueous thought
your mind a faint
a fading light
green through
the water weeds
drifting
ever deeper
a continuation of the shower wall, also written on a shower wall

Brilliance for
getting away with it

Love trashed
twisted thrashing

In one moment
hating lifetimes

yours
and mine

No delusion
of any exclusion

No excuses
for poor training

ma n pa
Will do

Have done
better dishonored

To swallow
and be

The depth
cold

Black holed
soul
learn the world
inside and out
read the book
          through and
                    between the lines
gather your moments:
with those of chaos
                    put to rest
with those of silence
                    build safety
                    a sanctuary

Going on vacation in my spaceship to the moon
I'll call you from the station, but don't expect me soon
I'll probably stay the weekend, might even stay a week
When I'm all through playing "let's pretend" in the Land of Make Believe
I'll probably orbit Jupiter and build a sand castle on Mars
Then I think I'll take a cruise through Orion's Belt of stars
I'll go find the Tomb of Major Tom
I'll figure out how it all went wrong
I can't lie I might be gone long
Long gone
And when I've got these dealings done
I'll set a course straight for the sun
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Planet Earth is blue and it's all because of you.
