Sea mother awaits
The warm water is breaking

Existence precedes essence,
or so I've been told. 
And living in the Aesthetic 
one can choose to question, or not choose at all
and float effervescently oblivious into the cosmos.
 
One longs for moral prospects of Karmic law,
but absurdism reigns Almighty
and at the base finds something raw;...

the cool breeze fondles
the old tattered flag as it
hangs on the flagpole
displaying it's frayed faded
colors of red, white, and blue

fluid in the wind 
drawing your ears to the flags
flapping sounds trying
to tell manifold stories
of men and women's valor

The greenness of their tall but human like bodies spoke for them most times when they talked, when they conversed in their Vegril common language, because chlorophyll had been researched as thoroughly as one would guess it ever could be, if inquiry is to be...

Us humans
The dumbest and most genial creatures on Earth
Having eaten from the forbidden tree of knowledge

I could quite easily write a work of genius
Or likewise perform the dumbest act of all
Yes - I could sit here and imagine that
I could do both in fact
Already enacted...

Fluid like falls of rolling water, 

Fluid like a disease, a chemical reaction unleashed in any manner of time and space, discreetly repeating , unfolding and deleting, reemerging reaching the ceiling like smoke in thinner attire. 

Fluid like fish eggs taking course with a steady...

You expect progress,
and you, 
understanding,
and I just pray,
that I'm never caught planning,
any life... into an early grave.

Let's not decay,
Let's not decay....

I decided 
to just sit back
and watch him
tear 
My dignity apart

That white flash 
from between my plump 
lips
reveals nothing
but
just how indignant
my bodily submission
could make him do

They stood 
and whirled 
to the rythm
of the memogram
But it was their minds 
that asked 
sought...
And found...

It was what

Kohl is nightfall when bright hours decrease
Etching the silhouette of  trees ;
Beneath drooped willows,   grief ‘s  ache unravels
   A mourning in fallow shade
Twisted as  petals,  cold:

How  endings  throb again   again
Without  his blossoms...

Fluid Drive for Gwen   

Sleep is a many splendored ring
[lostfully] lust in sleep’s  [giant] silent loss. 
rungs of ‘nipples, climbing...[
ladder] in  [Vegas,...chest-quest 
frost, first cropped then tops
stops and sings a song of  sixpence
love and fluid drive for Gwen 
who gave...

Drapes surround the sturdy length of vase
With width reflecting devious inside,
Distorted do arrangements, super stars
Become the surging curvatures each side.  

Tint from shadows smooth botanic length,
Like Chinese lanterns mimicking the light,
Cerise like tissue papers, give a strength
Of subtleties that still-life has, it's slight.

Tinplate has...

the hummingbirds came
to drink the honeyed fluid
drinking it deeply
now my heart weeps at their death
honey is deadly for birds

Are you
Someone that loves,
Accepting my passion,
Allowing it to flow from me
Like wine into a Waterford wine glass?
Will yours flow, too, into that glass,
Sharing with me, the time,
The place, the love?
Are you?...

Waves and seas and blankets of sweat.
Tales of a tryst of two intertwined.
Awakened to a thrusting throb 
betwixt clenched lips of legs.
Sleeping and waking. Woke and sleep-deprived.
Exhausted from this new connection, 
But yearning for even more. 
As we explore each other's bodies...
Day in, day out.
Once...
