that your soul sought its shell like a crab on a beach,
then...

My Computer Might Daydream About…

My computer may daydream about,
The Twilight films and the meaning of The Matrix,
The thought behind Star Trek and the point of Star Wars,
Which I repeatedly watch on its DVD Player,

Being stung by two bees on...

The house is quiet,
as Knothead’s asleep

Hershey Kisses in place
on the staircase to reap

There’s snow on the roof,
with the chimney unblocked

For Santa to enter,
new soot on his frock

The cookies and milk
on the hearth reappear

With Rudolph’s one...

And it was one I’d written.
I’d hoped my students by the writing bug

And asked me, most sincerely,
Which book I’d copied...

and had a few scuffs
drank wine and some beer
listened to the old songs 
sittin' in the new Fongs

Two souls slumber together

Dancing in weather
Enhanced by their treasure

Two souls light as a feather; 


Together they fly
Their eyes create highs
Shimmering shimmering shimmering

In the minds eye

A beauty so clear

Blood rushes

heart beats

awake

Heat rising

a thirst,

only quenched

by her.

Not you

Not soul

Not human or spirit

but her.

She rises as she sleeps

in a half awake dream

Creating beauty by her feet;




Trailing behind like light

A staff follows ,

tiny movements very near?

Do your eyes see-
every millisecond, a different me?

Do your senses acknowledge-
the spasmodic shifts of energy? 

Wavelengths and balance-
universal constant change,
can it be? 

Illusions engulfing empty space,
as if everything has...

  When the woman of my dreams finally comes...
