Ontology Poems


SENSITIVE ABSENCE

No name
no echo
only blood flowing

skin without edges
as you stumble through life

the breach
within a wound

opaque origin
before form

missing beat
when you believe you feel

a hollow
in the bones

uncreated

the body
before the body.

Her laughter startles the morning air -  
a flock of starlings scattering  
from power lines into  
the cathedral of her collarbones.

She moves through rooms  
unaware of how doorframes  
arch like devoted suitors,  
how dust motes waltz  
in the wake of her sweater's  
frayed hem.

Dawn writes psalms

Mark

The earth turns its face from you
as if ashamed. You
who tilled the soil, now marked
by what the soil received.
Your brother's blood—
how it murmurs, how it screams.
Deafness would be a mercy.

Wanderer

At Babel, you watch them build
their tongues a discordance of hope.
You know better.
The tower falls. Always, things fall.
In Athens, questions hang in the air
like ripe fruit.

You know?
Being a microtubular cosmontologically proto-conscious
goofy sufi dervish,
"I have a dream" too.

under the penalty of perjury.
So

ONTOLOGY

Water drips from the hairs on my arms, hands 
held high to avoid contamination. I can’t wait 
to begin. I guess this Adrenalin rush is what an actor feels  
before he strides on stage. A nurse helps me don 

my gown. I pull on my gloves. Surgeon, king of my domain. 
Minions adjust the

My Ontology

Forsook my tears
Misplaced my memories
Forgot the years
I hope I'll forget me

Oh you have seen, my love
The way our lives have fallen down
Like broken rubble at our feet
Silence the only sound
That we could hear
As we lay looking
At each others' shadows in the mirror

And the river-water passes by me
As I look at what we'd see
Those nights when
