I'm at heavens gates

Where fiery seraphims

Hold a no tresspasing sign

I am at the gates of hell

And I swear it looks

Just like the entrance abc liquor

hello world

i am a single sprout of earth

breaking from my seed case

A single elm branch

Am I

bending in the cool midnight wind

I could be that lake

Where the fireflies reflect

where snakes sleep coiled

next to the garden path

and if I wanted

i could be impaled by your daggers

and fall right to sleep

Now I'm looking for a foothold

Frozen Ache of wind

Blowing on the northern *****

The clouds are frozen solid

And they fall on my head

They pierce my skin

but I laugh at your pain

because ive stabbed the needle



Oh this wind

at your funeral

the grass is green and long

and the roses that lay

long and sharp

in my silent shaking hands

if you would just open the sky for me       let the rain fall    let the clouds billow and thunder  send bolts of heated lightning down upon my head
I think I would feel nothing
or the quit beating
of my own heart
like drums down the river
where the jungle is deep
