I've tasted blood            I've tasted milk
of battles past                 and wondered why
of battle present             I wasn't  tasting blood
of battles future              all this time
scarlet
maroon more so
I am lost in cycles
and writers blocks
headaches or such
looking at this rigid world
I weep

dear friend
I have walked
the somber forests.
     (Ha! It is
     he who whistles
     of  love, romance
     and lost thought)
 I was the one who had done it--
There is a gentle tide on the rock.
You understand it; the tired thing
(Life happens again, again
      and again)

To be here--
to be here is to be that handful of dust;
     i knew it
     at a time

To be here is to fetch the women
    for the summer
    dances (hear, hear)

the beach rolls
&
the sand weeps
here
let me die
here

I am hope
I am faith

for I died
for everybody
around me

I did not
die for me

**** me
**** me
**** me
**** me
**** me
**** me
**** me
but I love you
**** me
**** me

life:
dry,

Engulfed in darkness
I make my mark
This is life
watch it break you into
shooting rabbits
let them wither
let them die
I am death
but I am alive

and play the heartstrings
with melodic tastes of romance
in my hazy dreams
drenched in red wine

like a river runs
frigid icy fingers
leave their mark

winter had stained
winter had stung
my           tongue
water lily wet--
my head
to
my socks
Here I live
in the city lined by the river

Here I live
under the great blue bridge
that loses it's battle with time
and rusts away

Here I wonder
Here I wonder

If I'll stay
in the city lined by the river

I.
You can do this for me.

II.
Can you do this for me?
I'll open up America
and jump in
I'll let it eat me

I've done it before
once before
I was little

small, a boy in darkness
vulnerable, a boy in divorce
so it took me

that monster under the bed
my fearful, little America
eat me for support

and **** me like dreams
oh
hello
there
here
I
am
nothing
but
a
man
not
myself
i
have
changed
for
the
interlinking
gears
of
communication
pried
open
like
a
pumpkin
altruist
the
cross
to
establish
modern
life
you
have
it,
my
brain
will
you
take
my
heart
i
will
not
move
for
you
grab
me
motionless
objective
goodb­ye
now

Underwater,
I float in
slow motion

Look at me,
then
look to the
sea,

Compare each.

Both hopeless,
both nothing,
both me.
Nothing there--
but an idea
in my stained mind.
look
           look
at this dam

something to
hold back

all this
emotion
I have
I have
lost.

The  
competition
is over.

I will remain
without a
lover.
