Anima's Archaeology
There she stands, An angel with broken hands, An angel with stones for wings, She sings the sun away And spins timorous sky ashade Of wonder, thunder row'n’ down Her body, she sang of me As I died asleep Another night, my eyes too worn to cry, Too alone for an expression of lonliness      To bare any meaning. The sapphire trail Skylark doled to drain The riverrun grass of        Substance built. Lifted in hypoxic transcendence Glistening with light, ****** gold, Skin to lilt, and touch to felt And dawn rotted unto morning With one less life having made it.

Metaphysical exit
. 1 In the corner stands My blue guitar, Mirrors my grimace. 2 I have played you So like dream was the dear song Where you playing me? 3 Your body makes mine Shudder as I imagine A woman in my arms. 4 At the top of your body Are keys unwound at the ready, Silver spirals of tunings. 5 My soul is near hollow But the blue guitar Is filling in the foundations. 6 What makes the blue guitar So shining in the mundane, All the world is makeshift. 7 My fingers wet with you, What water sounds like, As it kisses the earth. 8 Deep in the strings I summon my being, Always blue as sheer sky. 9 Blue guitar, silent, singing, My fingers ***** your neck, Never do you scream. 10 Once I heard music, The sweetest tabulations Of sorrows in rosewood. 11 My fingers ache on steel, These are your moved guts, Strings that I borrow. 12 At an open window, All the day obtuse, I hear birds in your vibrations, Untouched air of blue guitar. 13 I do not know anything, Music is lathed on an open fret, The heart is beating to a note of bliss, Hole set in the body braced by wood, Time cuts as it is sectioned, a staff fires, All the chords are listed in primes, Is the ear a window or is the eye, Blind in the choral songs we make, All things are ephemeral, wonderings, Variations we work as structure fades, As the blue guitar is touched, turning light. .

Thirteen Thoughts on the Blue Guitar
. I came to a courtyard of my own making, To a cottage by the sea at the worlds edge. I furnished it with my left over life, complete, Barren and colourless and I wrote the newest Book of psalms out of tinder and flame, a tome Of grey and useless poems, unheard of songs And reams of flesh.  There in the lightest dark, By the Druid stone that was placed just for me, I planted a creeping yew tree.  And the moon Sang in celebration and silence like a fallen Priest.                       Under the covering hazel trees, That sprung to life after the longest winter, Which taught me to forget my name, I now Struggle with light and my body, warring, torn Is fading slow, like the always arriving, down Turning solstice, the climates of the mind, Where it is digging the never ending shallow Hole only the spreading eternal yew, that I Planted, will ever know and only the Lazarus Moon shall ever rise above. I came to a courtyard of my own making, Was it dream that led me there or my eyes? .

By the Druid Stone
Philosophy about Solstice Scientific method: 1. Observation: He said his physical theory raises dreams and joins interracial ideas - could produce longevity and immortality with his idea of raising the world with levers and raise their strength the world to bring the earth on its axis and improving the quality of evolutionary life the geniuses who come into the world. The Elves would raise with his new meridians to build a world that links the current mythical world with realistic ancient philosophical, to bridge the gap of the dying world today. 2. Pattern:    The new world of elves help me transcend to improve today's world, to connect with the old, so I'll see needs that today could fraternize with seniority, to enhance resources and maximize them. Example: feeding more people necessary to prevent homeless people of their rights, maximize the cosmic world today with an Elf Archimedes to rule the new world and its vicissitudes. Nights longer and more alike, not sleep or sleep, getting numbers for half days ... but no more whole, more evaporated water in the boilers of hell to recover from our inefficiencies and disabilities. 1-2-3-4- ... 4,5- 4.6 -4.7 ... I exist - I get up - I invoke the dew, and drops the recovery leftover for next winter - thus saving in my mind the fear of not extend beyond my unethical proportion of aid for subsequent actions helping future for those who need to continue or ... 3.  I managed to see that during these days reviewing the epistemological axis where Archimedes stands with optics, physics, and engineering, strikes me how maybe even if he lived, he would have invented things to save us from the worst threats. I managed to raise my faith to join science and move ideas through numbers, astrological and cosmic phenomena. Today on Hydrostatic overcome the demographic Tsunamis threaten the world about crowding industrially. We would do more immune power of the mind without reason, making sensitive PLCs and computers programmed. I've noticed that we can all be engineers; in fact, we are, what happens is that we do not dream dreams starting unfinished, but rather we always begin and where the same without it. 4.  For millions of nights exercise my way of looking at the ancient world and observe that it was still the Sun - trip with my thoughts and saw that the days were universal, to the moon was sharper - touch the sun and moon with my mathematical calculations caressing the entire universe.

Thirteen Thoughts on the Blue Guitar
. Winged caterpillar That frees my soul, Sets my mind to dreaming, How the hand of man Out plays the God, Makes love To its master. With fondled fingers, you paint A dumb firmament, the way Light dazzles as it breaks Or how the itching rain Taps a teasing melody as it falls To the lover ground. Beloved of Orpheus Whose wove you coiled in- Vents a garment of bird song loom, Content my breath The way that water wells And lolls into puddles Nesting not before the hot, Harpy steam. O melodious pool, Undulating lake, frame To emotive vapours, without Ship you ply in wakes. The oarsman plucks the main, Your body is the sail, Drunkard winds and warblers, Blow hard, but fail my ears, Atone as well, the wretched sounds of day For they are sour spells, and but a fools Trash canned movements, in a state So needy of weeding, Mere sound is soiled The way you rake. Evolution spreads, As stones do, When moves the river bed, Grace, in violence, Sparkles as it blooms, Like an ears creation— Rose on the tomb.

Song of Birds
. In the dreamlands of sun, He streams the invisible rivers Of lit glories to come, Careens, lording the beams, Airs, above the ordinary Grasses that dry in the gleams, With eyes that wash over kills, The forking fowl and mealy vole, Hare in the runaway hills, High above the fourth wall, stead- Fast, stately in his dress, To commencements of death, Where eagle strikes with talon, Crescent as day moon, Sudden, silent to the cast fallen.

The Eagle
There is no awakening.  Outside the cave Light shadows in the sun, a blinding Muck veils desolation in the vein-bled, Good men, stumps of the naked forests, And bird song drowned by the droning dead, Ignoble, this is no country for old men. In the open, all lie freely, lacquered clean Sunning social graces, shine pornographic, Know truth is real yet, embalmed by speakers, Pages, their flame a cross, churning in a mire, Our glass cities run time mendaciously silent; The euphony of the untruths, the bent sign. In Catatonia words are watered but never Change, sapped of meaning, seasons fall By the handy green, the spring leaves, tipped Off balance scaled to autumns teeming news; The barren shores, breaks, bless the vacuum Tubes, and pray a curse, fawn the head lamps. In the homeless land anxious creatures divide. The concrete utterance is picked to rubble. The stones ground into sand and we ringing In delight, moving mandrake, mobile cadavers, Orbit to satellite are digging babylon down In the false hood, ****** by the mortar. The ruin architects mark, fork millions Of tongues in tributary, as does a great River from a stony source.  The sterling Feed their stock with tainted food, plants Regenerate the mangled codex twining-tare; Throws the babe with baptismal waters. In the soulless land children peak abandoned, They fall on temple steps by the golden mean. We pattern the sky in the bold fabric of pity And mercy but the strands fade out running; Our cruel and only kind would rend the stars, Would fallow Elysium, bleed gold to the vein. How did we end mortal under the divining Sun?  Down base our provident ways watching? We wave in fealty to the dominion of spins And shadow, gussied Gods so proudly made, Desolate, vain, air escaping to whisper; We are sailing from Byzantium.

The Eagle
Crow on the ground— In his pecking lob sidle walk, Struts with airs unlanding On the sleeping lawns. His black eyes are sideways, Eyeing me as I watch— What a rude intruder. Is it me or is it he? I make my coffee— At a window into his world, He waits, wades with indifference, Goading the flighty songbirds. The blackness moves— With the dimming, trailing sun, So many things left unknown, Crown on the ground.

1 The chards rising.  Am I the praying bird? In the gleaming sun my bones are negative, My flesh a cypher walking through the plains As ghost I move, my dark lord, above me Flocks swirl and spike. I stand accused, Your pointed face divining oblivion, And no redemption in the rains of my Cliff walk days. 2 I see my shroud pinning on the wires His legs are razored forks spinning my Compass from True North. Your dark brush- Fire wings, the swept wind, wheels and strings My fate. Such black rhetoric in a burn, Your caws, loosed perches, on the stakes, picks My crowning grave. Black dove, your feathers finger As they slice. 3 Smoke, the cardinal blood caries my teething Bone, spades my hand without a flight. Taut, the pulled noose my hooded one I see my scarecrow’s reflexion, the scar, Let blood, the seeded droppings end trailed To my door. Feathers, ferry to carry on Dowsing downward, black knight of down, to sticks On extended wings.

Raven Caws
The whole world is a sea— A great ball of green blue eye Watching the skies with a watery Gleam in the round and swirling Aye, the sea is a sauce, quivering In the bowl of heaven and clouds Are blushing with rivers run flushing Waters older than the gold of stars, Into the sea.  I see that hushed time Is flowing as it all revolves with tides And birds, white as snow and foams Pure as dreamed downy wind, wings Long, sure, set for a choppy pilgrim's Sea journey, swaying with the stages, Always breezy, sliding as fish do flying In her rounding depths and her gusty Crests and all are riddled as mariners Who travel on her spindrift ways, days Of the dizzying sun and steamy springs, We all go step into deepest end, darkling Fathoms of slip, those eventual afterwhens, Riding the sunk, fabled under-ocean streams, In mangled kelps of weeds, into the murky wave.

Sea Poem
The Blue Falcon, cross the spire, Waits in the gables of the white House.  Wounded in youth by crush Of air, spent, a wisp perched In the aerie dark with a view of mountains Blue as ice under glacier.  The wooden Church from the other side clutches The sky but the Falcon blue is lost In a tuft of cloud that bobs but never Kills.  On this strike he is sheathed in stealth The dull talons slip as they dry In the tented air, the songbirds at play In the high-ground underneath warble And chide but the Falcon cannot hear The Falcon near.  His heart is soft And muted in the breast, his ears Are dumb to their tickling-songs.   Before the Falcons time, over The tilling fields, dropped his world In the spoils where splendour burst in green, Rain meant the feathers ran and the woods, A banquet of game, were bounty's breach Fording blue currents he was A fisher in the sun, but the sun Sank in his drowning sky no store From plateau to quarry the drought of days Moved a castle felled in the dancing Dust, his wings broke in the shuttered Eye of the sun and etched his form Into grey silhouette.   Now, the Blue Falcon, jeered In the branches of the rooted air Above the yellowed grass, under the pines And a great blue mountain, stirs a Druid Shape, vaporous, in the cauldron Of the attic in the white house A throw of stones crossways from The sacred yews of the steeple spire.

The Blue Falcon
Body of ocean, milk and sky, We are tangled in the hope of night. The lips of the milky way, creaming us, Stains and is **** with a taste keening; All is creation. My meteors crash Into your ruptured Earth. I flame Upon your must and moisted furrows And my toes are locked, rooted in yours. Body of ocean, milk and sky, In the deserts of the day you are true Oasis. The curves and waft of your sands Seethe and sodden my barren plains, Are erasing all my wandering memories Of an endless sky and now your eyes Are the only stars I know, and your skin; A sheet that holds the heavens shimmering. Body of ocean, milk and sky, Your ******* are the heaving of grasses And wind, loft and laden in the rounded Hills, a hoard of ****** bread, bountiful, Ripe and strange. Your hair is an endless Savannah, your valleys are gold and honeyed With milk, seared, filled by my penetrating sun. In passion we play; low on earth and deep in sky.

Body of Ocean, Milk and Sky
He wrote in the mornings, she recited to him at night, He always made breakfast, she made dishes disappear, His garb was quite frumpy, and hers, made of spun gold, He struggled with fashion, song birds would dress her, He thought his poems looked best in moving candlelight, She made all the fires and lit candles with her eyes. Once, he was embarrassed and said to her, 'How can you live like this with me in a hovel?' She said it reminded her of Plato's Cave. At readings he looked out and saw sinking eyes, Now he has her read all his poems, it works Wonders that way, and after-parties are strange, Everyone keeps staring and asking for her Name. She gives cryptic answers and winks At him. The poet was running out of words And thought his days with her were waning. But she said her heart was kept in a precious Box of symbols, of words, only he could write. She said that it was written in the sky, that poetry Was dying and that he was the cure. He told Her that the stars were lost at night, and fading While she sparkled unfailing, and many times They tasted each others tears, many times The world stopped spinning, he knew It was her, she felt it was him. To all Others, their one bedroom flat was small, Yet to them, it was the Palace Athene.

Poet & Goddess in a One Bedroom Flat
The whole world is a sea— A great ball of green blue eye Watching the skies with a watery Gleam in the round and swirling Aye, the sea is a sauce, quivering In the bowl of heaven and clouds Are blushing with rivers run flushing Waters older than the gold of stars, Into the sea. I see that hushed time Is flowing as it all revolves with tides And birds, white as snow and foams Pure as dreamed downy wind, wings Long, sure, set for a choppy pilgrim's Sea journey, swaying with the stages, Always breezy, sliding as fish do flying In her rounding depths and her gusty Crests and all are riddled as mariners Who travel on her spindrift ways, days Of the dizzying sun and steamy springs, We all go step into deepest end, darkling Fathoms of slip, those eventual afterwhens, Riding the sunk, fabled under-ocean streams, In mangled kelps of weeds, into the murky wave.

Sea Poem
In the house of the unsaid Tears are glass beads that drop The ***** on the bone china Blood spittles the lips, hair Raises the dead the cut Rosary roils and dents Harmony’s rumour spouts In the sink. The clock’s twitching Strikes a mongoosed hour. And the scattered stations run The rude wood splinters As the unsaying are floored Clouded eyes pain the glass Outside the house, bare Trees are leaved with ravens.
