Sand roads, the crocodile river runs parallel to
These sand roads and if you...

Warm away the chilly zone of the great bird of prey

And the oceans, bruised mauve and swollen 
like a pregnant whore, rail against the rocks

The sun casting
a honey glaze
over the landscape
caressing the cool morning
hues of blue
to brilliant greens
deep and rich in tone


A scent of earthy musk
filling my lungs - 
my chest heaving for
the pleasing effects
that grace such beauty
this mid-August...

Off his spanking brand new Cadillac,

Mad Monkey

The last summer
The last breath of the world
The last leaf
Has fallen
Bud open
Will not return
From the fell
Chain saw

The arms and roots
Branches filigree

Plagiarise the healing mists
As commonplace
