If Wednesday had a boyfriend they would rendezvous on Monday.
They would eat fried rice and stroll in the rain. Without umbrellas.
Monday would be horrified. But Simply Horrified.
Tuesday spreads a rumor and I still can’t find my cellphone.

In a sea of screens,
there is only one blindness
to see with.
so cherry blossoms
are no longer meaningless -
On Wednesday or until
they Break-Up.

and Friday gets all that Rebound Action.

Sleep has been a sluggish pixie and the moon a constant Patheon
Of Twilight Sirens. I am lulled into molasses eyes and am never sane.
Only a  ghost in my sheleton. A malingering cocoon
in the shape of a perpetual Snow White Crane.
I garden the grove of Midnights inner thy
and valiantly persist. I lay siege where I lay down my arms to suffer peace - as merely a mirage of luminous Tchotchkes and stolen kisses from Abyssal Lips.

Under wrong stars, I roam the Halls of UnTime. I go on my way where looming is sprinting into stagnations embrace
with all the vigor of Hermes. Floating in the hall is like surfing a dark gods wave. An undulating fog
of prodigious oblique.  in haste.
I am a Time Machine that writes poetry
and may never finish my Tea.
Earl Grey.

With the Soul of a
Frozen Agog.

The way we
Danced til three,
Stood on golden sands,
Sang above the stars.
Unforgettable.
i had no name for it.
but called it something
i would never forget.
summoned the whole world of me
to  Love more than expecting
my Life to change,
i took a look at how beautiful
my empty hands
were capable of.
and had you lovely
in the back-end
of my complete
surrender.

II

tough as nails
like tomorrows disguise.
a true delusion
doing real things
for a while.

i keep nothing
where i keep my secrets.
but i hold fast
to all my
ghosts.


III

someday you will read my palm
and cry for real.

and i won’t stop you.

you can keep going indefinitely…
but you will stop.
any whiff of scandal is romantic.
and every liberty, slavery
to unclean thought.
your clubbed foot is your
half-sister… but your genius
is married to mania.
all boy with too many parabolas
to be a man of any
treacle heart.
your Annabella wants money
and you can’t live
without it.
but you can’t live
enough.

and Doubt
doubts
It,

i am where the luck runs out of lucky.
tarnished yarns of harmony.... harming things.
like an earworm in a blind spot.
with your heart disarmed.

i am delayed by a Winter
underneath my skin.
that only your marmalade can burn.
as i surrender to the victory
of my sank Armada… i foist
my dark hilarities
upon the spike of a spoon?
how many gnomes must die
before my lawn is merely
Hideous?

how many ways can i stop
asking that?

we keep breathing because it’s simple.
our cherry pits are cherry pits.
full stop.
not banquets of blossoms on duck fat amethyst.
we have the gravity
of all the missing.
you have the eyes of a golden cut.
i have the heart of an eye
on a Guillotine.

just a **** where a God should be.
Third Eye Candy Feb 2019
i completely believe that i believe
in something.
but i go to great lengths
to be Nothing.
i step outside
where our intimate things
have private thoughts.
i eavesdrop on silence
to know what you’re thinking.

so rub my shoulders
before you destroy me.

let me linger in your aspect.
like a moth allergic to pain.
[ but can’t get enough ]

Let me down like
You mean It.

Let me go like
You hate me..

Be more ghost
Than an always ‘ Maybe ‘.

Let me down where
It counts for Nothing

with all the “ Goodbyes “
In the palm
of your
hand,

over my mouth.
