Rain falls
Like loving her
Coats the day in a smooth silence

Spend time with me sister! The sister I know I don’t have, a confusing passenger in my mind, that continues to bleed upon the apple-peels in my daydreams, where has your real reason for being envisioned burrowed? Is it not beneath the coal-white heated sands of my misbehavior? Or in the convenient pleasures of misjudgment. Either way your whisper wasn’t loud enough for my distracted eyes, those mobile shells recording the affairs of a race in which I am far behind, far too interested in spying on the obvious I often rest.

o rose
you must be tired of bad manners
o rose
you must like that the trains come often
o rose
you must wonder why people move so fast
o rose
you must enjoy the naked girls falling from the trees
o rose
the trains are always coming fast, competing with cheetahs
o rose
that’s how it’s always been

Sara walks by,
And passes a group of mothers discussing the importance of their children going to college. She smiles in radiant disagreement!
©

Scent of roses around her neck
Encircling her white as moon flesh
Create a necklace invisible
Envy of the stale air around her

Curled up on the bed
Sliding like soft cats
We blend like smoke
And tender spark clash

Seated at the back and black corner of a bar, small flickerings of red glass-light contain themselves within translucent shells of volcano candles. They are too passive a gang on dark tables contemplating my boredom. They serve our temporary needs to visualize at night.so many of us take their quiet radiance for granted. I wonder about my evenings and the continual secrecy that adorns them. I can only guess that they might match other people’s time spent wishing privately.

Secret worship in the eyelashes
Empty mirrors those eyes?
Or are they full of beauty and personal religion?
A heart that beats fast religion for the visual
Slow explosion
Glamour rain
Falls with the radiance of jewels
Upon the eyes
The satin of sparks
And I worship with **** breathing
A soft devotion like this can distance the heart
But one’s beauty is one’s happiness and excitement
An excitement competing with the world
A world where few things dazzle us
And inspire us to push our appetites into
The velvet arms of dawn
Or maybe that’s just the opinion of our
Worshipper of wet skies

Separation

Spread my limbs
Across a globe
Dipped in gels
Like laughter swells,

For the dawn
Whose shadows stick
To a country’s search
For misplaced bones

A scorned people see
The sea’s exchange
Of sound degrees
For tides at ease

*** lights up an empty mind but
Unlike mine enslaves equal time

Naked actress are you from my tribe?
Company of lovers cast aside for
Spilling sensual rhythms in their strides

The ****** heart plays a part divine
Although confusion sleeps in the sublime
****** spent too many different times

She combs pink planets through her hair
Galaxy girlfriend face
It’s space travel there and everywhere
Saturn question and comet care
Strangers tread lightly

She dances
She has a sating gypsy smile
Smooth explosions at her fingertips

She had shifted me ten degrees, to the right, from the sight of a cat dangling a villain from the roof. Its tiles had soon adjusted to my position now, configuring in unison to the discomforting moaning of breath sneaking out from the closet bedroom window. These roof-tiles now reflected ten different expressions on my face at once. “making up for lost time, eh?”, the villain stated generously.

She pours perfume through the waves
And gets ready for her sea-date
Rebels against her parent’s teenage warning
Crash of youth in the ocean
No one sees the splashing
And kissing in the sea

She ran like a savage toward the dawn
and waited for the fire-eclipse of
hours that will set ablaze the
many reflections, scattering in retreat
from the sun’s lofty danger

She ran with me toward the evening contained in one sapphire arena. Coliseum of death’s clamor! Instrument of dark war-cry mechanics…

Sudden panic among the gods allows certain neutral angels to fly over the spectators, landing on moisture-thoughts while clenching blue pistols.

“they’re only water-guns but what a flood we could have!” said one angel to another. They’ve been temporarily employed to keep close watch over the public’s fate.

She reaches for a pumpkin smile and glass dancers swim to find treasure evening radiance falls from her hair and secret earrings are found on the street melts into ecstasy *** is redefined all the while breaking rules of tradition like fireworks explode and celebrate love like a satin sky.

Inspired by Laura Kerr

She walks by wearing blue stockings in the rainy afternoon
Her youth is like a tender dream
She wears a pair of adolescent stars from her ears
All her boyfriends, when they speak, sound like cool rivers
In the sky-blue of the day
She smiles
The way lilac bushes crush petals into joy

She wears a crown of raindrops
Beautiful sad
Rebellion tragedy
Pretty moon shines young moonlight
Desperate dreaming

And love detonates the day

And honesty is spilled like water
