"exactitude" poems
~for lovejunkie, who loved this poem best~ *so many reasons, so many stones yet unturned, for each poem a season, for every season, a given reason eyes, dimmer, hearing, harder, memories, ha, disappear as fast as footsteps upon my island beach this then my log, of places momentarily visited, capturing the of, of me, the exactitude of where, when and what I felt what felled me, the long and lat, of the attitudes of breeze and currents, the happenstance that carries a desperate soul eager and afraid to remember* "how fragile we are" *so memorized records here, for his storage and his places, both filled and unfulfilled,* ***poems, nothing more, flawed each, product of a flawed man,*** here, for all to see, most of all, for the man, to see himself when the eyes of his mind at last be shuttered

why I write poetry
every poem gets the exact number of reads it deserves <> nah, I don't think that for a millisecond, shoot, not a ****** nanosecond (1) truthfully I'm torn up inside and my thinking absolutely could be wrong or could be right absolutely just like the optionality of believing in god; has to be some force of intelligence that could create such microscopic complexity randomly or just thinking the world is just a series of accidentally interactions so who's to say what's good, what's not so good, and by what standard one should judge Is this a poem? Heck if I know and what sbout the poems that get not a one, a single one, absence of curiosity, an unheralded execution. death by silent ignorance, a master's mastery of exactitude all because just because Is that a collective decision by an unconscious collective, the best moderne equivalent of the unmarked death of just a single one of your billions of brain cells (2)(3) all I know is that my confusion is confirmed my constancy is inconsistent my equatorial balance is gonzo, dragging me down, each division wants to piece me up, and today, right now got no answers at all how do I define myself? what categories do I fit within? and yet that answers one question! **do not write interrogatory inquisitions at 1:15 am (unless you're a DUMB lucky ******* who believes they got answers**)

****** every poem gets the exact number of reads it deserves
**the sighs in our chest that emanate from a different kind of breast cancer** wrote these words prior, then, certainly uncertain of the exactitude of their meaning, clearly unclear of their useable intention, yet the too real wrathful sensations that inspired their caesarian creation, the sigh's very own exhalations, floatations devices for the interned-no-longer emotions, escapees via the crevasses of chest ribs splitting open, return to glory thanking me for freedom given let posterior eloquence suffice, let brevity guide my self's interior diagramming, lengthy explications and deep analytics, I leave to you, the astonished medical examiner and the horrified mortician chest ripped, my hand reinserted, the blighted scourges, the abscessed cancers, the obsessive relentless cankers, asking shamelessly why have I returned to the crime scene *the sighs are air-borne, ready for air plucking, all cloud seeded, deeded for poets to seize and commence, to plant and invent, a mountain top trickle to a mighty river of poems to be recovered and discovered, unrehearsed and unleashed but you and I have unwished, unfinished business, as of yet unwritten, one last poem to honor our mutually assured destruction, for this day will be rewritten differently*

The sighs in our chest that emanate from a different kind of breast cancer
Acknowledge the drum's whisper. Yield to its velvet Nudge. Cut a slow air- Curve. Then dip (hip to hip): Sway, swing, pedantically Poise. Now recover, Converting the coda To prelude of sway-swing- Recover. Acknowledge The drum-crack's alacrity - Acrid exactitude - Catch it, then slacken, Then catch as cat catches Rat. Trace your graph: Loop, ellipse. Skirt an air-wall To bend it and break it - Thus - so - As the drum speaks!

Silver Beach: Always the Sole First familiar white fishing boat, up with early light, seeking sustenance and pleasure in = measure, anchored ‘bout quarter mile east of my under-the-coverlet, (of course! as the crow, raven or scavenging osprey flies), it’s precise location amazingly exact, but alas, soon daily familiarity breeds no secrecy, and now joined by a farther out, smaller version, a compatriot in spotitude, of the best spots for harvesting the early running brackish bay water favorites, striped or black sea bass what persistent fortitude these fisher-peoples display, early to rise, first to depart, when others crowd its “spot,” (amazed by its knowing precision the exactitude of “spot”) this ship, always the sole-first, invokes a first poem of the day, always a soul-first, an unburdening of deepest gratitude that one more day granted me to imbibe this vista, awake to its soothing silent heavenly serenity, absent machine or electronic interference with my delicate sleepy wakefulness, when newly minted words come into my mind, my secret spot Sat AM June 3

A white abstract silence falls heavily like phosphorous snow… odd and oblique with nervous intensity of random limitations… sensitive and fragile in its unremitting generosity…A fluency of motion of imaginary realisation in silent turbulence descends in tenebrous shadows of illusion detonating the unconscious… the symmetry and exactitude of silence beyond all compass…. an intricate camouflage… meticulous and consistent. Disinherited it tries to sanctify the air….. a silence in where stars evaporate vibrational loud and inquisitive…. freezing time by the velocity of its inner momentum of silent adrenalin. Concealing its true identity isolating me in unknown realisation of what is to occur.. It resonates with constant tension waiting for unpredictability’s of indispensible voices that don’t speak….. This is a realisation of the imagination…. a vibrant insensibility…. density of unravelled thoughts that vaporise within me causing a vibration that fractures the equation of time and space in the burning crucible of my mind. Intractable proportions of silent thought…. hovering… a constant mirage of irrational calculations….. This silence forces all the tears of consequence to fall upon my face with no avail…..Then in this thunderous silence see graffiti on white walls…abstract and meaningless….Like primitive lives…those with meaning yet possess no meaning… an ungovernable democracy of fruitless endeavour… of non factual fastidiousness… a glimpse of life and its fallacy. Yet the words were spoken and written… by whom… And for why.. Now the silence punctuates and instructs…. phosphorous extinguishes itself and hides behind another truth…..The noise of the world cascades in torrents deafening… attempting to defeat… subordinate the senses in atavistic cruelty… Prowling searching for the silence… but it has gone…. disappeared in the imagination of my inner self…. an abstraction I call me….. But I know where the silence has gone….

Searching for Clarity
El testigo of the ego, avowal amid amigos Pero sentidos dormidos Seran the death of me though. Querido Mr. Reap Sow do you hear yourself go? Host the dog show of that 'lost hope' An ego weaves abrigos Con todo los gran peligros Morose recallings of your parents belongings- Still longing, still longing Prolonging Belonging in algo Un trago, dos tragos, tres please “to ease the squeeze” of life, they mean “Yeah, of course, duh, hello They're guys with big dough They can play strip shows of words, Pay for pinchos de dolor, por favor! Con calor y sin aguantar.” Tus llantas de Esperanza, Creciendo debajo tu alma, estan puesto en exactitude? Tu attitude; does the longitude and the latitude always point to you?

**Arrows her eyes shoot, are  sharpened by a silver light ethereal, her heart, excited like a migratory bird, is ready to start, any moment, they simultaneously practice for exactitude in the art of the dart precision is enhanced after every consecutive try, I the target, gather, my ever chivalrous heart, is ready to to receive it all, undaunted as it gets late, expectant heart, slightly frets,  why hasn't she yet started to shoot at the target, straight?**

The beauty is ready with darts, lover has a reason to fret
I fondly remember, every libidinous mirror, that fondled me with sensuous  abandon. the reflections I approved were not strictly my exactitude; most erogenous, that gave me sleepless nights- of salacious cravings. I made mirrors proud by getting represented in them, the way I loved me, myself that made them glad. I give the mirrors more pleasure, than the images that I love- send me in to raptures. I abhor ****** liaison with mirrors, though I love the way they pamper. I've no love left for others, when a mirror catches me unawares, in such lasciviousness- that I love in myself, it would send shivers through the mirrors, yes,  I am not unaware, but that secret is theirs.

Narcissus remembers
The mirth crease on my face, Are the traces of scoff, Laced in my heart, The oath I swore, I hold with pride, And the throne;I shall surely ascend, For in their minds are nefarious surmise, Bequeathed by their fathers, As an epitome of my exactitude, And in the reverence of their supposed lore, "He is powerless"their honored lingo, "He is powerless"their honored lingo, The webs I cast, And crown the ravens on the orbs, Somersaulting the flamboyance and alluring sciences, In the follies of their fantasies and lust, Their souls are clipped with taint claws, And shooed into my den, "He is powerless"their honored lingo, In their temples and synagogues, Are my dote ravens, Quoting the collars of their scriptures, And stalking their honored lingo, In their desperations for excellence and deliverance, Their minds and sight, Are bewitched with elixirs, To their satiety, And drove in slavery, 'He is powerless"their honored lingo, In their moments of quandery, I hover on the corridors of their thoughts, And whisper the "B" plans, Brewing the animosities and cruelties among theirselves, Carving justification for the aftermath, But still;"He is powerless"their honored lingo, Apostrophe' ©Historian E.Lexano

Apostrophe'
**Faulty was that one who said Our life is on the line I'll stay until the day does dawn No apprehension ever will spawn** *That day was hellbent At arriving precisely on time Checked its wristwatch twice a jiff And stretched its bulging spine* **He knew about his upcoming service Ah! But he didn't commit I stay in victory, drunk of absinthe Let alone the clutches of a ****** *Rapture called when I wasn't listening. Rapture wants the cash I had taken Rapture took away my identity For happiness is an embezzled entity* **I pity anyone at all Without the nerve to live If you don't believe in anything at all You'll never acquire true pith.** *The exactitude of my expectation Should not have vexed my reaction I expected it. I saw of life's dark truth I knew I'd pay in full.*

Personal Rapture
If I could move past the point of ******** my bull horns are beaten down by life’s whip. Feeling ready to blow my brain, an itchy finger on the trigger, searching for life's plus centre: _a positive man stuck in the middle;_ senses sharp, but it sounds insensitive to an eager mind; all of our dreams have been suffocated by the placenta. I think I can be honest about the work of others, but speaking that truth loudly — for some— sounds like we don’t really love each other. Chained only by deeper ambition; passion weighs heavy when it isn’t complete. Here’s a writer’s petition: loving poetry— an appeal to careless ambitions over being Christian. Pride mirrors itself— words reflecting the world’s weakness, ugly earnestness to be outstanding; going out to make something of yourself as an artist surely disappoints a family. Gain success through your own struggle, heavy prayers; "I guess we’ll all be wealthy." It all depends upon: the task of multitasking most of your dreams— to exactitude; the power of words, poetic charge, poetic energy. But know this—the lightbulb to your dreams is what will turn them on. All those wanting pieces of your spark— you’ll lose track of where they all came from.

O, Precious... Grant my hands the pleasure to roam the roots of your locks upon my chest Let me breath the air that sustains your beating heart.. It is my air, it is my heart. Your warmth is my bed where our sweat beads collect in exhaustion My sweet baby... the twitching is exquisite when you caress them with intention Please bury me yet with your cradling leg, possessive and proud, as I gaze into endless space where the impossibility of meeting you is rendered mute by our fate. There is a reason for your scent dancing in the playground of my brain Or the placid sound of your slumber Or the exactitude of your arms draped upon my grateful chest They seem so right for each moment of perfection that bears your name and mine. I live for the thrilling anticipation of your closeness Your hair upon my face, your body in its sensual splendor melded into my heathen helplessness. And your face... Ah, your face, Beloved, the face of gods suspended in orgiastic playstrings, is all that matters to me. I am once again taken. I am immortalized in love.

milbrightlions of December — you come announced in multiplicity. even the night-herald blooms through the beams of astounded simulations. buoyantly uttering a word of light, stilling itself in the sky, unasked for. surmounting the Narra and the mangrove, sieged to a halt in its exactitude like the uncomplicated machination of what makes fire simmer in a wick. all of its brazenness hearten in easily toppled altitudes — even our battlements scar our unexplained liminality we grieve at first glance. airless are the spaces we lean on, testing their capacities. shrills bloom clearer. our mouths plump and glazed. our flesh hurtle all incarnadine, all true unlike the twining of roads lit like faces in the marketplace — a dynasty of brokenness.

Silence A reminder of years long since passed gazing at the stars blazing history counting the years and the scar tissue Fragile reminders of misuse karmic justice and accidents the uneventful days always bring me back to this Strength found in moments of exactitude that only time can reveil for the present carries on so quickly the lesson concealed until its history To revisit the spell of dizzy memory is like floating on a cloud above the scene in which you can watch it play knowingly The ability to change it so far from reach you must wait for the repeat in the hope that now you'll possess the eyes to see

I have tried to give birth to a new and improved version of my vision Exulting blips of exactitude and ambition Flashes of pretension on a screen of pending dreams Lacking mobility and projection Inertia writhes I'm mainly advertising trying to sell and intrigue To those who have enough eloquence to persuade my predilection and schemes Endorsing me providing lifelines and pure consciousness Lacking the force of extorted themes and exulting worthiness Cleansing my mind of the mocking bird's trash heap Help me dissemble the falsified declarations and professions of fiends I want to be pristine I beg thee to teach and galvanize me Endowing me with inexorable sight Keeping me keen and full of bold might I am willing to fight Bring me to the surface of these turbulent seas No need to mention my frailties and anxieties All I ask is a breath from the surface of true realities The urgency constrains my needs for rejuvenation and appreciations For all those little beautiful things that once meant the world to me Like pink carnations Sleeplessness morphs into spells of insomnious hauntings Stunting my contractions It's completely and utterly exhausting A labor deprived of true initiative and wanting It may sound silly but everything is contradictory It is these pains that leave me incomplete, ineffectual, and in paralyzing omission Excluded and feeling great depths of oppression Despairing and kept in solitary confinement Suffering more than I'd like to profess Distressing the matters that cave into my chest An infiltration of insurmountable anguish Abolished Untouched by a shoulder or hand of accommodation Is it selfish to push for this magnitude of isolation? I crave cultivation I want to grow into the Giant Sequoia But the fires of self doubt leave my branches in ruins Smoke signals sending sirens A constant affliction It's all my own doing Contingency pleading for nourishment Somehow knowing thee and ye could constitute for something of legends Tell that to our reflections Or maybe it's the fear of fire that terminates our pregnancy Causing us to introvert instead of projecting Withholding both you and I from mastery

Struck at form you reign-- days orchestrated a destiny... the image-less precognition of light and dark. A self-generated whole, an energetic rogue...of what shall have dominion. All will remain passable, imbibe what's to be expected of momentum--the obscuring verisimilitude has made the mind's acquaintance. Twilight Zones are as strangers to the mind, filtered out with unblinking exactitude--to regard them is to engage the borderline whence they came. Days come whence they came-- yet, we must not think so. Struck at form you reign-- over destiny...only when its shadow be withdrawn to its selfsame form.

There is exactitude and certitude no matter what the returns of the day corrosion festers, the depression spikes, like a fever that is drug resistant the consumption residue, white ash, black trimmed festoons my innards, dresses up my facade vacuous and vacant are the vagaries that only flow, never ebb, jubilant light effaced my countenance equanimous, my demeanor unmeaned, but but but but but nothing but but but t'is not but the mood of the moment t'is the chronic the endemic there is an exacting certitude this is the underground stream the runs my poetry down

There is exactitude
Contrails, like brushstrokes made with measured and elegant exactitude wash over the halo of white light worn by mother moon- the persimmons of night cut through the vaporous blanket of winter, swaddling the earth below in mellow reflected light, saying "carry on, my sons and my daughters, the night shall pass, but until then I give what comfort I can."

Night Scene (II)
We seek love because in love we are validated in our perfect flaws and exactitude of malformation and in love we are given reason not to hate ourselves for the things we see are wrong but cannot change even if we spent a millenia in an instant or infinite instants in eternity struggling to shake off the shackles of our humanity which is both our captor and liberator in this, life, yes we recognize its importance in allowing us to be but we spend the congregation of moments we are given in that holy being damning it, for it also makes us imperfect and in our imperfections is the capacity to do harm unto the world which we love so much, and so, we equate these imperfections with evil and seek to expunge them with all our might of will and all our cleverness of wit and all our screaming and pounding and passion of soul, but it is all in vain for these things which we despise so greatly are joined at the sutures with our very being and hence have many good but troubled lambs of the internal apocalypse chosen to end that being for sake of ending that malformation, though they know this is wrong, but it is the only solution in trying to remove the weight of one’s existence and hence the weight of existence from one’s mind and so they sleep easily, unbreathing, unknowing, and having completely cleansed the burden of themselves from this immaculate and gorgeous universe which they love so, but they are also unloved. And it is in love that we are validated, both in our perfect flaws and exactitude of malformation, it is in love that our weight on the world is not lifted, no, but counterbalanced and nullified, and in that way, we are set free.

an epitaph for lost souls
