I take a walk into the parkour graveyard,
looking for Polish dealers and cellphone halos.
I heard Thoth resides in sobriety,
but words fail me
whenever you are near.

I let my tongue run in endless stutters,
disguising 'I love you' as some off-hand request.
I could take you to dinner,
I could show you a longing
without the need for ***.

This late-night food has lost its flavour.
This ******* never picked up.
All that is left is to dial these numbers,
and wait by the window
for any car but yours.

Let's take a walk to the railway bridge.
We'll smoke a joint by the open forest.
You'll push your breath into mine,
make me high,
and forget why I ever
felt so low.

Graffiti covered
stones litter
the once pristine
shoreline like
crude markers
over forgotten
graves.

Shattered and
shucked Abalone
lay about like
enemy bodies
across a losing
battle field.
And I see no one
whole enough
to count these
casualties.

Tide pools sit
like silent
trapped galaxies.
Hermit ***** ,
some dead, some
alive enough
to know
these discarded
bottle caps are
not meant
to be a home.

Abalone shell,
a poor mans hell
where one flicks
his cigarette  butts
into empty
Abalone shells.

The Sea Otter
can't be
all there
is to blame.

Tell me old
Salt Dog,
where has
all the
Abalone gone?

There are no words, no carefully stringed sentences, no clever use of metaphors, alliteration, punctuation and full stops,
that allows us to crop and capture,
the rapture,
of love.

Splay open your feathers
join the Dance;
Universe keeps
eternal beats;
Drums Of The Heart

are in fact a fullness
