few things can calm me - the wrawl in the rain
chasse on the glasses, soirée on the pane
atoms of home - blood & bone - body's wane (and they're)
falling in ribbons of pewter so plain

fog laying softly, the wafting unterse
soundlessly haunting the grounds by its curse
ripples on crystalline mirrors disperse (in the)
capable hands of the watersong verse

nubes - replace the azure with the grey
bouncing the pavement with vestige of play
spirit in footfall, the speckled ballet (for the)
ruse to confuse sprightly night with the day

few things can calm me - the wrawl in the rain
please, weeping clouds, keep the crazy ones sane!
and as you slow down, i'll pray you regain (all your)
previous sorrow so we'll feel the same

In Quebec’s quiet winter wee
A season’s joyful jubilee
Crafted mid cliffs towering tall  
Sculptures sitting in silent awe

Glistening gems grown from sea spree
Blue-blush hushed by green-glow glee
Fascinating formed frozen freeze
Sketched a skillful sibylline sprawl
In Quebec’s quiet winter.

A sublime sight stunning to see
Until spring summons the flow free
Tuning it to a fast free fall
A raging race, a roaring wrawl
Go gaze and kneel at nature’s knee
In Quebec’s quiet winter.

How it drags those old stones
this saddened exhalation
carved by mystery's familiar hand
throwing down ta represent
burning bushes, city, civilization
best and worst of ish
taled to young-lings and old **** alike
these glass towers of Batsi hype
all them homies Hallelujah-jah
that cancer eating up their bones

When the spirit grooves y'all
and its nature moves wrawl
take that animal for a stroll
down fifth avenue, crawl
black and blue for someone
let them know your lovelies
build a story told with heart
forget stark fable's Telly parts
live to breath in honest crest
counting coup eat up the rest

O my precious flower of amethyst,
Who blooms in the early spring,
And whose dreadful fate befalls him fast
For any of my everlasting love to last.
To you I will go forth and sing,
As once did my lord, the Sun King,
Of your amaranthine beauty, by which I am bewitched.

By the hands of the West Wind did you fall,
Where you withered in front of your god of light.
For I, your death was my most tragic loss.
But if I had stopped that discus in toss,
I would have prevented this plight
From ever befalling my sight,
And never would I have listened to you wrawl.

To the Messenger did the Sun King flee for comfort,
But I, without you, had no one to go.
Even in death, your fairness remains,
In the shape of the hyacinth, forever contained.
My love for you still overflows,
Even amidst all the woe,
But now, alone, I shall go into summer.

Day by day, hour by hour, extirpation draweth neigh
No one sees, no one cares, Destruction from On High

As is in days of Noah, so it is today
Oblivious oblivious, to the coming Judgement Day

People scurry to and fro, ignore the Writing on the Wall
It is too late it is too late, soon you’ll weep and wail and wrawl

Foretold this all has been, by the Prophecies of Old
Destruction Doom Damnation, these three will now unfold

Read The Book of Revelation, chapter ten plus ten
Number fifteen the verse…the Judgement of all men

Poems unto sleep.
I read to you,
who drudged in jaded narrow suns,
Engored by the steel-edge‘d lance.
A shaft long like baton for a handless,
He who agrips the birth of light and darkness.
What hands? Your blood? And death?
A flail a darkened eyes a straying sleep.
What a strange metaphor for a burnout.
What a stranger line for a callout.  
What a strangest solace to whine about.
Here again, we ponder each ponder each aloud.
None again, we ponder each but alas the cloud.
No more! We’re mulling less than ever before.
Yes, yes, I see you. Though it is dark around.
Make no noise before dawn. For I made a tour
For you to wrap back up your wrist to lounge.
Until you crept much you look behind your back.
And We’ll meet again,when the lance had fallen
upon Each and each of em’ or us or all and none.
Afterwhich,
I popped away, out the viewer’s lane,
To sum accounts, the strands of mane.
Understand? Do count the rain.
By the ripples, not the chain.
Purl and rift and lop so brisk, so master.
Top a risk, a water dense, a matter of sense.
Immerse your cranium, eat your pain to scatter
Across the butter up a pan, still you kiss the bane.
And you stood blue, with or without pain.
What color is it next? Pink? Yellow perhaps.
You scare yourself with thoughts of mishaps.
Rank round the stripes, ropes and lives…oh.
Bare dotted gauges we thank,
of which we cut a blink.
and declare, “I see more than I think.”
Thenofwhich,
Much is seen, To be known.
Much is known, you will see.
Never or now, now or never.
No man of lips can whisper through a
didgeridoo.
Let a cricket hear you moan before your lips
of blue.
Resent! Listen and reply to an echo of an ugly voice.
You're still a child, a child of responsibilities,
Is it that which you call your toys?
So I've declared its nature now it empties
What sensitive brotherhoods, Akins, relatives,
Whatever. You do you hate it more than those
Whispers and whimpers you make up prose,
Like a model’s ugly review of the winners.
A loss isn't much of an effect than your cause.
I beg the corridor linen quake,
I beg the dice to loan an odd for a brake.
But the lance isn’t so seep,
And I'm gone, unto no sleep.
Thus listen, in darkness twilight.
In the dullness of a careless night,
Of that pale moonlight,
Who tugged the bight
up the greatest summit height.
Hush the song, puff—so much noise.
There are verses listening to you,
And there are songs listening to you.
Every time you run out of battery.
Run back to crescendos bowing in retrograde.
Oh now its the ocean’s raid, is what it's made
From your annoying back scratching aims.
Its a question asked what would the names.
And I would mend your beady pecks,
When there's no Cigarettes After ***.
Make me make you sleep.
Hindly hurl your hurdle heap,
Torch the zephyr you interkeep.
And fly.
Beneath your idle numen sky.
In ties with the barrier crossing billows
Ordains rushed to have all,
All the essays of the masters moments ago.
Ambrosia ornaments wrawl,
Crawl a moment ago, and then and then so,
Mirror heaven night.
No more noises white;
See false and you won't fight;
see it wrong to be right.
Is this a dream?
The words you’re witnessing.
Does it paint confusion?
Or celestial dissolution?
Whatever whatever.
Let us go then, you and I.
When the evening is spread out against the sky.
Like our leaden night of decomprehensibles,
Pillows—any pillow, you're good to cry.
Upon any reason agrip.
We started the night and we ended twice.
And you don't need to know why
the lance is as often as seep
When I read to you,
Before and after,
Your poems unto sleep.
