Dead alive divine
Alkali
alkaline
earthy and noble 
tried and true
gaseous gratuity held by a glutton...
cocked fist held fast by none other than you....

returning home
end of the night of
mortal wrongs forgotten
chemistry of love effervescence
in the broken glass jar
alkaline burns  of thin membranes
bursting like  a bubble
fuming creatures of rage
writhing in the 
path of a wail-
ing soul...

And then we slowly fell under a crazy spell
somehow we fell in love for the last time; 
And I don’t dream since I quit sleeping, 
no I haven’t slept since I met you;
You  didn’t believe I’d ever find you, 
nether did I;
So what do you say, forever this time?...

Limerick: Once a delicious hen fed on rice-sticks

  for Delysia Hendricks, with many, many thanks

Once a delicious hen fed on rice-sticks
Loved gorging herself on limericks
She pecked on a sweet line
It turned all alkaline
Now chicken’s served with acid on bricks.

chemical crane,
 lithium albatross.

 iodized magnetic zion
  in my head.

  i'll run for days,
 inside a solar haze.



corrosive reduction 
under the sun.

the old search for
 the purified lithium.


metallic filter to drain
 the silt.

empty the heart of all
 its guilt.

  
so salt the cracker and 
absolve the sin.

 an alkaline base full 
 of wrinkled skin....

You're my jazz
You're my blues
You are all that I would choose.

You're my poison Ivy
My Jasmine rose
My Three a.m calls
What exists in the folds of ink on my notes

My lilac sky and my northern star
my sunset, my midnight blues
My medicine and my hurt
my blessing , my curse

My tide and waves
My sip of Chamomile tea, my rosé
My shot of whiskey, the acid to my alkaline
and all that I wish was mine....

These furrows, littered with bags,
Separate stalks
Bent over and inclined to suns of ambition – 
And escape.

These shoots grow relentlessly –
In spite of me.
These saplings break the ground 
And Send down roots
That anchor them in soils that are too
alkaline.

These ones, potted and clumped, shrubbed,
Must one day stand alone?
And sway in the wind
as the old trees do outside
Just beyond
This grid-like field
In an old decaying greenhouse?...

Do you know where you’re going?

Maybe … or Maybe not …

To a place composed of turquoise and fuchsia rainbows and humming birds?

Ha!  An opaque arc and wingless beauties---

Down a road layered with marshmallows and lined with hot cocoa pumping stations 
every .25 mile.

No, wells that pumps out alkaline refreshments for the weak and thirsty.

That’s it! I’ve got the answer – anywhere you want.

And I say, anywhere you don’t!...

morton salt girl crying in the rain
   frailly under her umbrella.

   Alkaline blink how she 
crys when I sink.

 a little lower 
than usual this time.

Getting to drunk to remember
 to rhyme.



So I find Find a little strength and 
 gather a few  bones .

these ressurect my burdened
 lazarus returning to you.

   the right side of the bed
   with my head imprint
   still on the pillow

  come closer she says
  my morton salt girl...
