We all 
Got angels and demons 
On our insides. 
And ain't it nice 
When the angels get out, 
And we does good? 
So easier to be proud. 
Easier to be humble to. 
Those demons, they wreck us; 
You know it is true.


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.

Thunder-Never Rain

Logic will never explain the Spirit,
  its reasoning is vain

Metaphysics not transcendence,
  all thunder—never rain

Ontology dismissing love,
  a life of death and pain

Lusting for what we’ll never have
—hating what we can’t explain

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)

From Music the Death of All of It

SOUND FOREIGN COMPANION
FAILED WOUND MESSIAH
SPELLS UNBLOOMING NOTE
AMPUTEE BAND SUPERNOVA
EXPLODES FROM UNIVERSE END
ETERNITY BELLOWING THROAT
HEAT SUTRA -- MILLION DEATHS! 
CLEAVE BLACK
BEE HIVE ONTOLOGY LIQUID
WET BETWEEN THE GAP
FUTURE PAST WITHIN YOU SPEAKS! 
"WAIT. T U R N  B A C K!"

Gabriel's Horn

A captive of your ontology,
a tiger in a cage

Doomed to look with borrowed eyes,
your life played out on stage

You pace the floor incessant,
as anger builds within

And hear the distance calling,
feeling trapped, an alien

Will that trumpet ever reach you,
by whose Archangel you’re reborn

Will redemption come to free you
—if Saint Gabriel blows his horn
