I desire to live.
Recoil, irrational fool!
You are not chosen....

My twitching fingers
recoil from the sizzling bang
stealing the lightning...

demon pyramid, spews hell ~
earth weeps magma tears...

Blade of grass
bent in half
by ball of slipping
sunlight drool
never to
recoil
genuflect immoral
internally immortal...

with all your might
I may recoil and hit you back

Where's My Mask Now

aromas waltzing
tainting enclosed containers
occupants recoil

I recoil at your previous wish duly met...
but timelessly bled

Escapes restrained our semblance of dread,
but limitlessly crept

I had specks of me for you to test,
now decidedly unkempt......

I SHUDDER IN THIS LIGHT
I RECOIL AWAY
INTO MYSELF
COVERING MY EYES
SCREECHING
PULLING AWAY
SKIN SHIVERING
INSIDE
THE TASTE OF THIS 
IS BITTER
I CROUCH AND CRINGE
IT'S CLUTTERING ME UP INSIDE....

Hirosimizing,
Nagasaki impacts,
Atomic bombing pejors.

Scary scabs began,
Debris of recoil doomsday,
Fetus fleets on their way out.

Mushroom cloud embeds,
Tympanic torn by air blast,
This atrocity noted....

Oh, dear bloom, open
Up your color— rather than
Recoil around your

Own inner design.
Let them climb; up your shaking
Stem— to gather you

In a pool of arms;
For flowers snap, if they do
Not give in to thirst....

Curved, un-curved.
The lines, my mind.
Recoil, explore,
Your life.
In green,
But the daisies keep on dying.
We do not care,
Of age or gardens,
Of trees or grass.
Pick up your trowel;
Dig hole,
Fill space,
Replant,
Move on...

A coil
Bound and twisted
Crimped and bent
Unwound
A wound
At the center
The core
A sore
Rewire and twist
Make a coiled nest
Hide the mess
Today and tomorrow
And the counted days before
Pulling constantly to get it straight
Watching it coil back into place...

Skyscraper,
skyshaper, 
skysharper... 

Don't mind the fall of ascending
for its gravity does the work for you.

A passageway to this wind tunnel is open now,
yet the recoil is still undone.

Leave the rest to the high-rise end,
and embrace your bound to the above....

Masters too fall, yet rise again
Realigning with source 
Ego diversions, to rest lain 
Without employing force

Stupor, cause of decline 
Thus head with heart align
Under the oneness sign

Recoil recall
Masters too fall

Loudly lashing to make a claim

Rolling constantly raving for ways

Returning to recoil at thoughts

The ones and moments lost



Raging refusing to comprehend words

Silently sheltering of heartaches curse

Sight seen envisioning not worse

A life without denying our hurt...

Incinerate all vacant lust
Fishtailing the mind
In an orgasm of energy

Finite thought turbulent
Expressions broken from their jaw
Antsy minds recoil in pain

Our mutant lives disintegrate
Against a streaming bed of action
Bombarded by the sun

We wake resilient
Floating from this wayward skin...

Roses bleed
their petals bare
Thorns gone missing
pickings rare

Crimson anguish
garden sown
Season desperate
roots bemoan 

Roses bleed
their fragrance spoiled
 Lovers search
as stems recoil

Cold breaths gather
 northern winds
 Seeds of hope
—to plant again

Your eyes bore into mine,
Set them on fire,
And now I'm blind.

Your soul hit first light,
It cast away shadows of the night.

Hands touch,
Exchanging smiles,
We smutch the rope
On the candle recoil.

Melting heart blaze
Going to and fro in haze.

Our world ignite,
Crackling sounds service,
and I cannot be more amazed....

yes, yes
you see, my boy
we are the belts of society
you may hear such a statement and recoil;
for indeed, it is frivolous. but what is a belt?
a woven fiber, which must remain firm and taut,
and exists only to uphold a curtain
shielding from sight shameful and private entities.
entities that govern
all that we know...

Allow those sunrays
Bypass through the lenses
Compose up my window  
          Buffing 
Agree to those blends 
Seize on to my grip
And let my sun
Grant me my limelight
      Smiling, blurring
Sojourn!
Don’t swathe my sanity
My guide
My warmth
       The exquisite
My Love
You shall by no means
Recoil beyond the pillows...

Pendulous abdomen.
The term used for
those women who
bear multiple children.

Too many, too soon.
No time for tummy
to reconcile, recoil.
Back into shape.

And so it swings.
Often times limbs are
visable under skin.
Tight like a drum.

Irish Mum.
No contraception
allowed. Poor thing.
Must let it swing.

Pendulous abdomen....

i am not one to probe closet or dresser
I am safe with your secrets if any
as my mother asked me on her last day to get the gun to kill her

I kew all my childhood where it was and the speculum to abort the child

and I am the perfect guest and want to be alone in my dreams
of childhood to recoil and entertain a conversation with a world...

FRAGMENTS 8


Dance the dream dance
In the inner circle of flight
As fancy meets fantasy
In the gyrations of emergent
Visions and curious delights
Where flamboyant laughter spills
As ghostly unseen faces oscillate
Into streams of madness
That recoil in the mystic breeze
