I am the fire that burns, it yearns to consume , engulf and turn to ash. The phoenix is ugly. Why live to self destroy and rebirth just to repeat" Don't kindle this heat, just bring peace. I rather self-emulate than self-immolate but this fire burns from hate. Hate of self and hate of others. That is the Phoenix.

Immolation
So it has come to this insomnia at 3:15 A.M., the clock tolling its engine like a frog following a sundial yet having an electric seizure at the quarter hour. The business of words keeps me awake. I am drinking cocoa, that warm brown mama. I would like a simple life yet all night I am laying poems away in a long box. It is my immortality box, my lay-away plan, my coffin. All night dark wings flopping in my heart. Each an ambition bird. The bird wants to be dropped from a high place like Tallahatchie Bridge. He wants to light a kitchen match and immolate himself. He wants to fly into the hand of Michelangelo and dome out painted on a ceiling. He wants to pierce the hornet's nest and come out with a long godhead. He wants to take bread and wine and bring forth a man happily floating in the Caribbean. He wants to be pressed out like a key so he can unlock the Magi. He wants to take leave among strangers passing out bits of his heart like hors d'oeuvres. He wants to die changing his clothes and bolt for the sun like a diamond. He wants, I want. Dear God, wouldn't it be good enough to just drink cocoa? I must get a new bird and a new immortality box. There is folly enough inside this one.

The Ambition Bird
I was born from the ashes of fear, guilt and shame. Cut me into pieces and I will grow separately from all the blood-spattered pieces of my being. Freer than before. I have those cuts hidden somewhere under my skin. I still breath through unhealed wounds. I still bleed every month. I still believe in lies. I still choose the wrong path. I don't need your religion to believe in myself. I don't need you to wipe my blood stains. I don't need you to tell me what's right. Not this time. Burn me and every inch of my flesh will explode viciously to reborn again and again. Fierce than before. My blood is still boiling and running through my fresh veins. I won't let you drown in the hollowness I won't immolate myself I won't give you a chance to carry my burned flesh. I won't follow these path of illiberal rules. I don't want you to compromise your love. I don't want you to devour the poison.. alone. I don't want you to suffer ..just because you are supposed to. Not this time.. Not this time.

Sacred fires burning bright Purging the flesh of my being Becoming one with the light Scorching the cells of my mortal body lluminate The masses Self-immolate To ashes Break, Conciousness Cosmic I lapse - Death cleanses; Dissipate into the nether Essence of life Extinguished The chains that bind Relinquished Pain ~ Surging through Serenity; Gleaming blaze Then I shoot off in space and time, soaring through illusions Light years from reality, Distant pixels Obsessing through the tesseract, Scouring past illusions Beyond spatiality, Distant pixels Drifting, no sense or feel Flames of color, figments of my creation Drift in to the surreal; Chasing fractals, defragments my cognition Dreaming in discordance Life confined in simulation A glitch in the matrix~ Lies conceived through my perception; Breathe I, long to be spectral, fluctuate right through this oscilation To, obtain the ether - Planetary cognizance Then I shoot off in space and time, soaring through illusions Light years from reality, distant pixels Obsessing through the tesseract, Scouring past illusions beyond spatiality, distant pixels Drifting, no sense or feel Flames of color, figments of my creation Drift in to the surreal; Chasing fractals, defragments my cognition Dreaming in discordance Life confined in simulation A glitch in the matrix~ Lies conceived through my perception; Breathe

Dreaming in Discordance
In the brief day, or rather, the night called Life, dream how easily a speck may be distanced from itself; and how hard also it is to remove that same grain from your proud eye. Look at the lightning over the green corn and learn the virile meaning of our lack of power under the traveling stars. Turn on the lights silver-electric to see in what dark rooms you have dwelt, yet tried to be happy. Open and close your eyes and feel the weird proximity of doll-like death. Talk to the moth and trot the eternal wheel of boredom, tolerated by a life that cannot wait to immolate itself on a fuel lighter for love of the gamble. Come near the heartbeat of an animal and touch your own heart to take the pulse of the planets and experience the split-second hypocrisy of love. Unwrinkle your bones with deep calm and purest feeling, unfurling your reddish hair, and you will bare your heart in all your poems. Pity the mania of poetry and the helplessness of its wisdom to hope or heal or even to dare to come down from its own shiny cross. In spite of all, extinguish any light at its source and you will work in vain to prevent its survival in some remembering soul.

In the brief day, or rather, the night
When you are dead I will change the bedsheets. The sun will shine for five billion more years. I will still have green eyes when you are dead And I will drink orange juice. I will feed the cats. Then I will drink. My tissues will swell with firewater. My memories will self-immolate. I will ***** brimstone and my skull will be filled with sea urchins. I will have one scrambled egg sandwich, dripping and greasy with mayonnaise. I will read Bukowski and I will stare at pigeons in the parking lot. I will wear purple shoes. I will get a sunburn. I will sob face down in the grass and a small child will walk past and won't know what to do with me. I will ride up and down in an elevator. I will watch the sun go splat over this porcupine city and bury itself in the smog. I will watch the horizon breathe up black until it’s night and I will wonder how much colder Mars is. Then I will go home and kick myself for changing the sheets and I will take them from the laundry basket and hug them to my chest because you slept in them. The next morning, I’ll be gone too. (Johnny Cash knew).

mature to immolate
Once starshine Once iodide For years healing You're done healing You hard stop You immolate Every word To ember but You left a fuel line to me I swore I'd Sing should you **** me Unless you Took my tongue with you I see you Thought sealing my mouth With stitches Would drown my war cries Well we all See how well that worked Now don't we?

An Arterial Winter: Sewn Shut Screaming
I want you to close your eyes Visualize Hand over breast Until your palm thumps What you feel transfigures the physical What we have transcends the sultry soma Or random tactile sensation I want you to close your eyes Listen to my ripe breath Inhale my low voice It is like a hymn It is true because while it whisks Through your ear It blossoms in your heart Let it reverberate through those midnight gardens You deny yourself among the slobbering masses Groping you like raw meat Pounding, slicing and packaging you Like clumsy butchers You are not a bleeding slab to me Though I cherish that animal Which temporarily houses your light It is that radiance which warms my loveless bones Which illuminates my dreamless skull Distance only magnifies our effulgence We are insects below it, scrambling Let us immolate together beneath its searing heat Until the facades of flesh melt And we are left as **** as shadows Aching for an unremitting bliss

Drugs: The Haiku!
The shrill thrill **** of young blood ills makes the hill become a valley of death writhing desperately in hands too often dragging queens through the mud all along the botched towers leaning and glaring without caring Instead intent-on restricting oxygen with crass observation only ever offering tasteless insincere apologies as afterthought Alone and easily overpowered clouded crowd-sourced asphyxia overtakes just enough breath left for recorded tied down violations with faint traces of slut-shaming-victim-blaming cat calls free-for-alls and “don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got” ‘til it’s slammed shut stolen and swollen gutted-paved-depraved by gentrifires stoking those immolate night advances and god oh god is it really too much to ask to feel safe on my own sidewalk?

Phoenix and Cinderella
leaves self-immolate, red orange yellow --- this is How I Fell In Love window frost, hand on thigh --- our abandoned clothing littering the floor a bud, poking from fresh-thawed earth --- I am trying to forget your laugh sun, high; so is she, blunt 'tween her lips, my tongue 'twixt her thighs --- I Miss You

for though burning
We were the ones lost inside ourselves ruminating pasts presently breaking out A shift in consciousness we are right here now Beating at our chests Bleeding out the truth We'll show them what we're made of... Stars Align in our eyes tuned into the skies where we used to be outside the physical frequency Now our souls emanate the writers plane Rise up that burning inside set fires with our minds immolate the world just to watch it burn Everyone else will take pictures of it tuning themselves out turning themselves in uploaded sell outs to the ether We're the heart arsons coming back to the scene spontaneously combusting out a new beat.

Heart Arsons
Sometimes, I will myself to forget you hurt me, and then I am in pain. Consumed by all I didn’t do and ravaged by what I did. You are always without guilt, smoke in my lungs as I ignite. You were on fire and I was so cold… Sometimes, when I am burning for the touch of your hands on my skin, I distract myself with the singe of an overheating laptop on my thighs, thank god I never let your embers land there, and I write. About how warm my eyes are and how someday, someone else will worship them as they make me smile. The heated hope evaporates my tears and sometimes, I remember how you made me combust. Red. Red. Red. I will smother your memory until it is ash and you are the only one choking on smoke. I am the fire. V. K.

You have a kind face. People with kind faces always draw me in, like a candleflame draws a moth. I have seen enough of beauty to know That people with kind faces can immolate you With the terrible force of their loveliness. But... they are so very warm. You do have Such a kind face.

Lady of Paris
*I wanna explain these voices to the deaf If I could just stand in the Sea of Tranquility momentarily , searching for my minds bread I should lose contact with everyone for a spell I should really explore this heaven or hell fairytale Write a book of poetic gibberish , put it on a pyre , tell everyone it's been great then self immolate Bite a barrel and ride the light forever , **** this world with all its restriction , find a path to escape this perdition* ...

My Demonic Depression ...
In this world full of deceit, Where should they be headed now. The crazy lovers in love forever, Where should they be headed now? The fires are always guarded, By the watchful eyes of the world, Those who wish to immolate, Where should they go and burn? Those which are hard to recite, And those that are hard to veil, Confess, oh poor lonely hearts, Where should those poems go?
