Endoscopic X-rays and a doctor drunk on gin
Valiant human beings with virtue among the discord
Salient...

Concrete Hearts, the Deep End Keys and the Miniaturist's Poetry of Sleep
“Concrete Hearts, the Deep End Keys and the Miniaturist's Poetry of Sleep”
Following the Babel paths,
where footprints progress
like rough-hewn braille,
temptation shows itself well deep
to be turned and touched,

The Open
is lead
further in, and...

Some Other Poet, White Iris
“Some Other Poet, White Iris”

my eyes are the eyes of another staring back at me,
perceived through the glassy tear film...

Anomie
Should we invite the neighbors over for dinner?
Their politics so different from ours.
All the more reason. Combat anomie!

Uncertainty
There cannot be two identical things in the world. Two
hydrogen atoms
offer infinite locations within their shells for electrons.
Thus, nothing can be definitely eventually known.
All to the good

mathematics,...

The Happy Tectonics
Next to my son's anger
plate tectonics are nothing
to me. His unhappiness
was caused by me.
His purpose and mine
is to catch photons and
store them in our bones.
Time measures change
which continues without self-doubt.
There is no self there.
Therefore, why...

“They are cold like ivory”, she said,
“I want lips made of gold”,
The sky was dusky, light losing to dark.

Ojala El Universo Se Apiade De Mi
Ojalá el universo se apiade de mí
Y me convierta en otra estrella;
Porque la última espada caerá
Ante el desvaneciente sol,
Opacando el vitral del alma...
Desaparecerá el vitral
Al abundarse en total oscuridad.
Se quebrará al ser presonado
Por hipócritas luces,
Y...

Best Poem Ever
Sitting outside with loose papers on my lap,
a gust blew the top two pages away.

Co-Exist
Faceless head of coal
Below him arms swing legs steam
Over the apex of a highway bridge
The spooky figure

The Night of the Gifts
The Night of the Gifts
I am speaking so…
More and more
between the walls.
And reflections
are swallowing us.
More and more
we meet faces
that resemble
another ones.
I’m crossing myself.
It passed
like a ship,
sewn
of the skin of dead people.
The fear stirs...
