until I met...

As Medusa walks in, shuts the door,
caresses precision hand down the mahogany-
and shows one what for.

Senses in starbursts-cloudburst
flavor crystals accenting- your bloom 
of predicate corpus, cat claws in my brain, 
comes metamorphosis-
Led mushrooming depth of...

Sitting, watching my favorite fishing channel on TV,

Then I hear my wife screaming, calling out to me.

I run up the stairs, into the bathroom, a huge spider,

She stopped screaming and I saw what frightened her.

The trouble with idiot lights,
You see, it’s a problem
That goes, perhaps,
Farther than me.

There's abundant ignorance
That floats in the bog
In a kingdom where machines
Can measure breath’s grog.

More than vast numbers
Aggregating in crime,
There's a feeling that
What is...

There are hungry mouths
in every country of this planet,
and everyone should help with little or much;
how can we stand see them suffer, and helpelessly die on their beds?

“American by birth a rebel by choice” okay
You can’t win, ya can’t “have it your way” 
I understand “Success, it’s just a mind game” 
I’m “so good cats ask for me by name”

Cough it out if that will make you...

we make these short notes
perhaps for a latter review
as a historical landscape 
marking events significant
as it happened within form
in definitively felt physicality
that our affirmation reassures
others along the same path
of the validation of this truth

RENEWED BY GOD'S SPIRIT


Falling, falling are the salty drops from my eyes.
Crying, crying is my broken bruised buckled heart
so long oh so long, I am within a cell of loneliness
that windows and doors I kept...

Charlotte and the bear came out of hibernation at exactly the same time.
The bear was irritable and hungry, and she looked tasty.
Don’t even think about it, I’ve killed bigger people than you before breakfast.

The night is silent,
A cool, languid breeze
blowing in from the sea,
The sluggish waves
swooshing the shore,
No soul in sight,
Nary a sound,
And, there we lie on our backs,
Bone-ass naked
on a deserted beach
looking up at the night sky
awashed...

It was a five ringed circus
Complete with the ragged remains of a tourniquet
Heavily fringed by the under eye baggage of a bloated nefarious
Clown soul that is
Blowing across the freeway garnished with the white plastic baggies
From...

God can reach, from there to here
I, however, can reach nowhere near
His origin, his pyre.
I tried logically in my domain.
Well, the one I call mine again and again.
This soul, this life, this thing called Me.

who dreamed of being a stud;

poor Roger was a dud! 

He created a little tool, 
powered by electricity;

You could feel it couldn't you
son who has left the room
mother electricity
the 1,000 bolts
10,000 volts

I give myself over
I fall
and I gladly go
i swan dive
to rock bottom

I will face that stone

It started with a single thread,
something, someone once had said
something, for which I still felt dread
something, that I'd long thought dead

This thing, that would not leave my mind,
this thing, so mirthless and unkind
