CHOICES

       

I chose to be like the air 
because it allowed me 
Be like the wind, 
And fly! 
I chose to be like water 
because it allowed me 
sea 
And bathe you! 
I chose your love, 
because it allowed me 
Take your fire, 
and burning me, 
Without burning me!

The Athens in August

The Athens
August in Athens is always confusing
I spent the evening looking at a white wall the moon had lit up,
waiting for the movie to start.
Staggered into a church where bearded priests handed out bags
of yesterday’s cake.
The elderly lady behind me got none, it was her second time
she had been in the line
I gave her my

Creature of the Night

Creature of the Night

Life bleed
Life bleed
Oxygen into my soul
Street sign
Reads Everyone heed
Pay the toll
Right side of sadness
Left out in the rain

Life bleed
Brothers and sisters
One life
Concern for others
Missing the girl
You can tell by my shirt
It could be night forever
I may never miss the day
Night traveled down this lonely highway  
My brain aches again
Killer cats electric

We Drink Ambrosia - Fugue

 
we drink ambrosia from goblets within our Hearts
browline meets browline you drink your own 
which dripped into mine hush hush the surfer 
and soldier homed, drinking ambrosia honed
yin-yang becomes yang-yin as frequencies ripple
from nerves slashing nerves when point pulse
point, nails dig nails, light entering wet wounds knuckles balloon, merged muscles sting sing,
bring strands blowing

the loss of dream time

The Loss

Dream time, lazy and long, is over
It lasted a generation
But real life
Came and stole the colors
Home-baked bread, no more
Everything is easy, shop-bought
and taste of the average.
I know of a woman who stole
Flowers for her son’s coffin
It stood there in the snow
Grave diggers on strike.
But a bouquet doesn’t
Mind, know why they are needed 
Rootless and

Black Narcissus

Staring at her reflection in
ocular mirrors, learning my
last blessings, creeping past
poltergeists during marauder
inspections while I transcribe
her flesh on caesura, pleading
with the Pleiades for soprano
notes to stay on his alto clefs,
hanging gardens in her image

Obambulate mistress, with
Black Narcissus as my witness
Extravagant solivagant born
from river spirits, lascivious
nymphs want to hear their
voice echo in mountain cliffs
carried by arid

The Nobel Prizes

When I walk among the living with this spectral face,
I, Alfred Nobel, weep for what bears my name.
I dreamed of honor that would heal nations,
of a crown given only to those
who sowed fraternity, disarmed armies,
and raised peace above all banners.

But what do I see?
A prize of peace given to men
who had not yet earned it.

Derailment

Swallowed prayers
Faith abandoned at the station
I step off the train at its final stop
And find my chest hollow
No shadows soft enough 
To cradle a lie

CRAFTWORK OF LIFE

    

Hands that perform tasks,
creative exercise of creating...

Feet that walk firmly
in the fruitful movement of walking...

Rain that falls generously
in the blessed gift of watering...

The wind blows that blows beneficently...
benign work of blowing!
Sleeps the night... healing sleeps,
inspiring epiphany in dreaming...
Goats skip,
healthy vibrant revelry...
Children are enlightened by playing
holy craft of educating,
Men should only love,
divine

Commercials

A shape of the void is providing innumerable occupations for characters on the stage to emote through clearest and wet lightning 

                        the distortion of audience perspective sustains briefly

Destiny Helper

I find myself questioning my mental clarity and stability. My financial situation is neither affluent nor impoverished. It appears that a negative influence is attempting to encroach upon my well-being. Consequently, I have decided to dedicate Sundays to avoiding situations that may cause me distress. 

I recognize the need for personal reassessment and development. Throughout

Mouldy Fear Fugue

  
she drinks mouldy fear in morning 
the morning needing vit C vit C
team Alice alliterates twig pieces to be 
to be sprouting green leaves true blue 
sweeping bits onto dustpan hue true  
grit to cubes which only they read heed 
using time making dough row seed
painting faces so cute for pic to
