touching the tips of my fingers to my thumb
one by one
and deliberately
each connection making a small sound
and gradually they grow into a cacophony
of screams and scrapes
and i continue to feed the sound
holding it high above my head
letting it echo across this floaty wastedscape
with the tune at my fingertips
I command I am....a....me
thats right
listen to me
haha
listen
its blowing my mind how me i am

Standing on the shore
This line between two oblivions
I watch the sun doused by ocean
and with it i melt into sand
becoming millions of tiny little grains
pushed and pulled by struggling waves
I am draged out to sea
drifting away from myself
in millions of tiny directions
and today I was swallowed by a clam
cooking in the belly of this beast
that anchors itself for fear of...
perhaps one day I will become a pearl
and be carried off to an exotic land
where I will adorn the neck of
the most beautiful lady
and after each dinner party
she will put me away and sigh
and i will still be a million tiny little grains of sand

this was an impromptu spoken word poem that i  let fly in a recent drum circle it was really well received so i thought i would share it.

my glowing eyes
and your darkened
feelings, i will
illuminate the
the nastiness
in your soul
and once we
find it, together
we can scrub it
clean with brillo
and bleach
and oh, beware
it will hurt

to love
deadly lies
razor sharp feelings
dynamite ***
explode
bleed
and die
for love

touching bodies in the pit
sweating like some fat thing
swinging to the power of the drums
beats that beat me like
the poor lifeless equine
in the middle of the track
i feel her and i shudder
i feel him and i quake
i feel all of you and you feel it too
because we might as well be naked
****** here in the pit
the tones that tear our chests apart
threatining to explode
in a shower of glorious gore
binding us in blood and love
dance dance dance

i fell in love with you today
the way you kind of rolled your r's
trying to sound more sophisticated
i think thats what did it
your voice was soft as my most favorite blanket
your laugh was sudden and mirthful
i could see your eyes
i could feel you curves
even when i told you about the 49.99
you just smiled with your words
making my fluttering heart drift slowly
to where it belongs
and then you said
"honey do we want to get dvr"
....
i know he isn't good enough for you
