Peg

DREAM BIG, NEXT TIME, DREAM BIGGER.
CAPITAL BITTER HILL GURU BEAST.
CAMILLE IS NOW A STATE OF MIND.

MEG, PEG, SLAY IT'S A DIFFERENCE.
DON'T PUNISH THE PRISIONERS, AND
OUR ART OF WAR, POLITICAL PRIZZI'S HONOR.

NEXT TIME PEG HAVE A LEG HERO.
DESPICABLE US, DOUBLE DARE, SECOND
CHANCE AT LIFE.  STAY WITH THE ANN LIVELY,
MINORITY REPORT.  

SUNG SHI GU FU.
PEG'S NAME ON A MEDALLION.
MATTER STAYED BLACK.
PEGASUS LIVES ON, WHAT OUR DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE.
BE MINDFUL AND THOUGHTFUL WITH WORDS PEG.
NEEDLING OF THE RICHTER SCALE, BALANCING THE THREAD.
EQUILIBRIUMS ADJUSTED INTO FALLEN TEETH.
PEG MISS PEARLIE CROWNED WITH GOLD.  

ENTANGLING THE WAY THE ROOT GROWS.

Gods of Small Things

gods of small things have callis palms 
 to busy to eat grapes on mount olympus.

 Their gardens consist of mature 
rhododendren bushes that clamor for 
attention from the sun.

 most live in 1970s ranch style houses 
with radient ceiling heat.

 they admire jade plants and place them in 
the window lattice.

 similarly twisting there necks.. 

twisting up for warmth.
     reaching up to the ceiling.
        stretching up to the sun....

       see icarus fly.. see icarus fall. 

stumbling into corners earlobe 
equilibriums intoxicated.

 gods of small things..

Waiting

we talk about existence 
like we talk about
the concept of time
trying to encode our souls 
in something 
we do not believe in

patterns seem to 
make rings around 
the heart of the flesh
the soul of the wind

my lips stay loose 
for the right words 
to slip its way through

but what is a thought
but a creation we waited for 

but what is a thought 
but a creation that we are waiting for
…because waiting is the message of Creation

we write with existential pens
we love with an 
intensity the heavily depends
on the input-output 
laws of equilibriums

can we really see?
can we really feel?
can we really exist?

my flesh becomes 
a reason to hate myself
and to hate myself 
becomes a reason to breathe

i want to be broken 
without the feeling of insecurity

but God wants broken vessels.
that’s what the past said to me….
”I am a broken vessel.”

God is a broken vessel

so we twist our fingers to
match the rhythm of the pulse
so we lose our minds
to erase the words that made up
the original thought

and I continue to find myself
to find God
to leave clues for the past life 
to find God the Moment.
No One Attending Will Ever Be The Same…..
