On that cloudy morning a few years ago,
When a shaft of light from the Montana sky
Fell on his grave and caught my eye.
The raindrops that fell as if tears...

So! Now then begins thy fearful
Straits
As scourged by cruel, licentious

Thou whilst surely delate:-
All that now is...
And all that has gone before,
All you once were...
And are now no more!
For liken to the widening socket
That doest...

On asphalt, wet with blood and sweat (down streets with no address), 
there lay a man, snuffed by the Man and left to evanesce.
The Man then strode along the road and smiled at his success

but hide me from the government
those at my wake will come to know the new loop
and those who walk by the suffering will know nothing
until I am reborn

Pt 1
He represents his set, with 
Every breath he draws,
He makes color his priority,
Matisse with machine gun,
Splurging Rothko’s’ vengeance 
On the blue bodies of Americas renegades.
A Blood, from Compton
The roar of stolen 
Car engines, echoes...

Assaulted Peanuts

They rode across the Western Hills,
For the land of Middle Eyed Bong,
To raid the Salted Peanut Trees,

When your heart 
corresponds 
with your mind,
then, give it a shot,
you write 
back to me

to me, child's play,
peeling tattoos 
like bells...

Purple Twilight
And as the day begins to fade I slip into this night's confusion.
The renegades of memory become my souls single intrusion.
Now taken back to times of you.
I find my memories mind entombed.

On liberty and duty

Every Jewish prayer, every song of Islam
The puritans, the atheists and the Amish
Are neighbors here

Picks and flicks sharp stones under tyres

Arresting view of her beauty polished 

Soft and ready, yet bristled. This is her day

In the depths of the laundry pile, where chaos reigns supreme,
Lies the mystery of the missing sock, a perplexing, absurd scheme.

Staring at the stubborn facts

Don't lie to us as if we're back at puberty

Reaching up t'wards highest reaches
Opening doors and slamming them shut just as eagerly
Lying in wait, to snap at the heels of antiquity
The winds know the world before and after

Sometimes we say things out of anger
Sometimes we lost it and completely lost our head
But can we push God away?
The answer is no
God is not...
