Untitled 2

the puppy
like the worlds
runs in circles

she’s cute,
that puppy
I think i’ll name her

Pluto.

Waste

all day I sit here
sporadic thoughts screaming dazed
I call the wild in

Valentines

I thought today I could make it work

it wasn’t so much the sadness

as lightness

as bottled crocodiles and persimmon fungi

as broken arrows across the ascended 

the ascended ones I shan’t recall 

as they won't allow it

today I make this work

as tears turn to conserved weapons

that ignite and sting every limb

as guttural music I can’t quite grasp

drips down my moldy walls

today

i thought

today reacts

Untitled 1

Untitled (2008)

	In the depth of night I crept
	and slowly witnessed a being glowing
	bilious to ponder 
			       and sat
	sat down on the bed
		of which i had crawled out of already
	i looked up
	bright - ah - bright
	crackling in my heart
	and it groaned
			      and waved
	i waved
	all in the depth of night

Ar

Was being dead soothing? it’s been said enough, World - i’ve been up before the morning sun.

Papers

Papers cannot be
not now that I've found your light
no I cannot sign

Yes Mein Friend

yes mein friend
i like the muddled wasp
to only feel the spinning
whirling breathing
that the buzzing fiend sure sculled
to breathe and steam routine 
around sullied crawly roads
constructing measure
as my paper takes off

yes mein friend
i like the idea
of being like the wasp

Thank You

Jan 3 2022

new year
new time
isn’t it funny how we request old lives?
soon it’ll be not a new me
an old me craving grey
again I find
looking glass and time
don’t sink as well as I do


(thank you)

Fireworks

I changed my life today
let go of the worst - today
I became the man
I no longer thought I could be

The fireworks saved my sight
from grasps of an engulfing fright
a fight given to me
to escalate and let me fly away
a sight I’d seen
the other day to forget
what i’d given
three lonesome sparks
that tilted - my
way of thinking

I forgave what came before
and will always forgive
what I have now
take my hand and squeeze
‘till the blood comes dripping out
and I’ll show my love
the sparkles and glows

just like the fireworks

The Tanka 31

Though it was assured
His peace has yet to come still
even with the crypt
his tale made it to the shore
and he never did look back
