Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 5

Endlessly, relentlessly, angrily and passionately
Deafening my ears in the wet sugar of his words

Slowly and dopily, darkness billowed away
Sifting along to...

Elysian Fields Are Beautiful in Spring
Opa John
The caboose sits red—its iron spine cradles the earth like Atlas
rails stretching into nowhere. The stream murmurs softly
its voice threading through Ellie’s laughter like silver wire

Water beneath and air above.

languaged-left hemispheric information
languished after right-brained exformation
self-regenerated human in/out-side culture.
Human culture preceded human race
and DNA races
and racism
and socioeconomic language boxes

Himalayas
Himalayas
Eons ago in the planet’s evolution,
During tectonic plate movement: 1
The Indian Island Ma moved northward
Crashing into the Eurasian continent,
To form the Himalayan mountains. 2
Out of the chaos, towering peaks arose,
Piercing heavenly soft, white cotton clouds,
Bursting...

The Circus Is In Town
Come join the unraveling circus
quite soon to be passing our way,
with the clowns in a clamor to twerk us -

Born to Rage
I woke with blood in my mouth
and no memory
of the scab that sealed the rasure.
I’m cat-spitting
dog-growling
peregrine-divebombing
rooster-flogging
badger-flipping
hornet-stinging
wolverine-ripping mad.
I fired the sun for showing up late
cursed the fridge light until
yogurt soured in terror.
God called
I let it ring...
