I have to remember
that I’m in love
with the idea of you.

The moment I recall
the things that disgust me,
the things that shame me,
the spell breaks.
My love,
Love me with freedom—
Love me in a way that lets me fly.

Every bird
Given the freedom to soar
Always finds its way back.
He unwraps
the corpse,
shows
me her hardened
of skin,
and dead
of starry eyes.
We yesterday
were dancing
to a triumph
of an audience
rapping
applause.
I see nothing
but hatred
pouring
like
acid
to
get
beyond
my
skin.
I refuse
it
she'll
be
with me
every-where.
I was fearing
and seven
saw the spirits
wandering
in my home,
I know of
the beliefs
and without
reasons
meaning
of life.
They exist
as
they
have
conscious-ness.
When the river of love

dries up

heart turns into desert

without any oasis in sight.
Cold noodles await
a starved soul.

Death,
delivered over the phone.

Take out.
Take out.
Take out.

It’s gone cold.
news rooms across the country close as the orange Leviathan slouches forward

folding facts out of sight from the country folks
as the falcon dives out of view

the grim prospects of a hunt: the prey—the vulnerable

Where are you, Falconer? Is man, beast,
roaming from coast to coast?

further juked & blinded within a gyre of misinformation & turmoil
Sing you lovely melody,
as I tip-toe,
past the pedestrian lines,
there's a scent,
of a perfect aroma,
of your perfect toes
& no breaking
of memories
are never statues,
Heresy can come,
and collect my soul,
as your all seeing
is bleeding
My love and
all of your sweets
I'll worship
forever,
cut through weeds.
