Blood Moon
There is a moon stuck inside the stoplight
A still unblinking gaze controlling blood tides
Circulatory system like New York City in the seventies
The thrashing of my tire fire heart led
To the tribute of an overzealous blood tithe
With the buzzing of the latch relay circuit
Night and day, the cosmic light switch clicks
Itself into place, there is no

CHITLIN CIRCUIT-
In my feelings I’m fillings
In my splitting placement settings
Intentional pig intestines
I LAMB COVING MY LINKAGE
My beef is forced anger
So goose my way through life passages go figure
I goat what I eat what I ate aspirate danger
My by product waste excrement, temperament
Cleanse out covered wrinkle tribe
Neither lamb fry nor black pot
In my feelings

Short Circuit Thoughts
I'm sitting here with short circuit
thoughts.
In a lousy dilemma, I don't know
what to do.
I had a thousand watts dreams for
this love affair.
But it all came crashing down due
to the fact that it was a microwave
type of love.
We didn't let it take time to bake or
simmer in a crockpot.
Now it's over, faster

If there's no resistor, there will be fire.

Circuit Break
Burning flame, lost tears, don’t expect any compassion for your soul here.
Burning flame, dark skies, don’t expect a sympathetic soul to hear your cries.
Life burning, sorrowful screams.
Let them die alone on hospital beds as they don’t matter, blame it on their weak genes.
Silent nights, they can’t breathe!
Your life does not matter to this

Weekly Circuit Rodeo
After a long week it is Friday,
and that means it’s time to go
to a corral twenty minutes off,
the weekly circuit rodeo.
Get there early ’cause they always have
a barbeque before it starts,
also basic line-dancing lessons
for ladies and their sweet-hearts.
Drifting through the nearby western store
while things are getting ready,
buy a new belt with an eagle print,
it’s both

A Fly Grasping Warmth While Perched On An Integrated Circuit
my feelers feel a moldy cheese wheel
to the dented and bitten side, slapping
pushing, thumbing down, break a chunk
and bring close to my eyes to take
a look. there are my brothers, they
look hither and see my eight thousand
eyes gazing upon squirming fatness
in the festering fuzzy fungus sauce.

Closed-Circuit
The nest of wires
so loosely tethered
at the base of control
suffers from rigidity
while hard-linked
to each portal of
infinity
until cracks snake
the foundation
like menacing grins,
all mirthlessly mouthing
infallible truth
behind certain
fallibility:
every age rises
before diminishing
to bury discovery
as treasure precious
within the driving
will of all forms
sentient.

Dreamtide Hours (Circuit Poetry)
As rushes meet the newborn sky
and dew damp moments briefly lie
upon a sleeping kingdom drawn
from quiet visions yet unquelled
and shaken dry by breaths of dawn.
Serenity too quick dispelled
where silence just before had dwelled.
A tightly lidded dreamer clings
as noontide beats the drum of day
and substance clips Utopian wings.
In heat of warring battle-rays
all fragile crowns meet

Frank and the Circuit Preacher
The Circuit Preacher came to town,
and the word of God he preached,
At the end of his sermon,
our souls he did beseech.
We all stood shuffling around,
like calves stuck in the mire,
We’d only come to see the foreman’s sisters,
who were singing in the choir.
What happened next
