inhale

the
night
among
us. (and the stars)

fly
fly
fly
through the sky

awoke
bad day
I cry
  cry

Shots, shots to the head
we're all still alive
but with our intellects dead

APHRODITE

Nobody really sees
anything coming. The moment
just happens. We live by it.

            One is taught to become the machine;
to hear the stirring in the sand or the deafening ring
of the IED.
What it is to be human was the perspiration on
my forehead that has been wiped away. My skin is a
glimmering metal. I fly through the wickedly blue sky.
            Shot by someone I don't know for reasons
                                       I don't know.
We live by
                a way to die. The moment happens and we
forget. That's what we're good at.

what do you know
this house is
falling apart

The ramblings come back;
this old dog. "Run to me."
     I utter
     it slowly.
Molasses tastes
fine in January.

there are many people
around me
their body heat
surrounds me
yet i shiver

dirt
snow
pink
glory

THERE IS A NAKED WOMEN

To the rasping sky;
I am a sore river.

Skin has a variety of textures. I put my shirt on.

lost without life of

This exact moment will
run to me. Get every sliver
of emotion to stick
in between my lips.

In tastes of spring--
I take myself
By such a wing.

Rip it off--
With red,
White hue.

A human I am,
And this is
What I do.

Never
will I
forget
her.

Eyes,
God her
eyes.
Just as mine,
hazel.

Lips,
red as
wine.
How I
longed
for her
lips
upon
mine.

Hair,
flown down
from her
head,
shined  
so heavenly
in the
sunlight.

Before
I fade
away,
I wish
to cut
into
my soul
and divide
it
away.

Someday,
one day,
she will find
me.
Deep in her
mind.

This day
I will know
that these
words
from my innermost
soul,
were not penned
in vain,
never.

And if you hear me
Keep me in your pocket
I am the river
The water
Pumped threw my veins
From me
To take in
I will deliver

Hello to the
roads that are there (I connect it with my veins).
You
this, the unattached form

there is a sweet spot
                              between the ceiling
                                                          and the floor.
In music,
             you can hear tension
                                             unresolved

Could it be the water in the stream?
The dissonance echoes in the form of wild dogs.
You come back to a prior time;
when the parents drank gold and the kids learned the words "life" and "living."
It was hard to remember that explosive time.

it's foggy out,
cloudy thinking

Nothing there--
but an idea
in my stained mind.

love burned
through the pages,
then my hand

For Ezra Pound*

I wonder
I wander
if any of those faces
who pass beside me
in this rat-race








are like me

                     that penetrates my heart.
I figure that it will fit into my pocket.
