I was reborn in this world fiery and new
After I was destroyed to be made pure,
Through my own pain,
or someone else's which never healed.
I'm unsure which.
But I'm betting on the former rather than the latter.
But, in the end, does it really matter?

artificial velvet in your voice
doesn't hide the icy snow in your eyes
don't think I haven't noticed
the delay in your auto-response
"I love you too"

I basked in the afternoon starlight
Thought it good fun to play
But the light was too strong
And my skin it did betray
Starlight made skin burn
my skin would peel and heal
aloe only helps dermal
Only then did I find
The starburn on my soul was eternal

Your love energizes me
And warps me to my core
Transports me out of my apathy
And leaves me wanting more
In real life I can't yield to you
In this wormhole of temptation
The bond I try to cling onto
Is a hologram of imagination

I put
your shoes on :  

hardly walked a step
and took them off again

wrote a load of words
about how it felt

a brief emphatic connect  

thought about
the speed things change

and how scary it is
just to think about it      [data]

...I wish
I was better at this

for one thing
there'd be
a lot less about me

may god grant you strength.

piano,  surf,  cockatoo


To beat the heat
I sat out on a
striped cotton
awning-covered veranda
facing the beach,
the low tide surf
broke onto shore
like piano keys
while suddenly
the flash of a cockatoo
flew in low,
landing next to me
on the deck,
his comb spread wide
at my presence.

In Cancer and in Capricorn
Tropical azures
A golden thread despatching
Luna's silver ice
Descended into Aphrodite's stupor

Calculate in the Triangle's
Forgotten vortex

Lost to all but those
Claimed before

Guess what deniers
scientists ain't liers
their job is calculate
the amount of carbon
particulate
wondering why feels tropical
up here in the temperate?
heat vortex just passing you
no North Korea ain't gassing you!

SEND IN THE CLOWNS

Clowns could weave
Laughter and glee
They could cover
Your heart's melancholy
Ephemeral that maybe
For a while
Enchantment will save
Your tearing heart
From breaking apart

So won't you?
Please, just today
Send in the clown

I saw monsters
in the copper specks
which dot your green eyes
and they sang a song
of freedom, from Serene

Catholic school kids,
Sally and I, in sixth grade,
would walk by the construction
site after school. Sally pretty cool,
for a girl, you know,
with her knowledge
of baseball and British
invasion rock and roll music.
A tom boy who was my best
friend since kindergarten.

Walking by the fence
surrounding the demolition
pit she would nag me every
day to hoist her on my shoulders
so she could see the bulldozers
do their dirty work.
She always wore a plaid
skirt, such was the school
uniform, and I always  refused.
We were tight but while the boys
always gabbed on about pussies
and titties ,I never saw her like that.

On a field day in June
we got to dress in dungarees
and tee shirts and we walked
pass the site and Sally carried
on and on about picking her up,
but this time I capitulated.
As she wore jeans, I knew
these crazy feelings making
my dick rise would be tempered
and we could stay innocent
for a little while longer.

I'm sorry, Enoch
chances are, if I send some money
you'll still be blind tomorrow

but to be fair
if your parents had asked
for tv royalties
you'd be rolling in it now
without worry

because decent human beings
with a tap
feel guilt, real quick
 
the idea
of touching a face
to bring sight back again
is biblical

that said, Enoch
if you put your hands to work
grew some oak
you could make bookends (eventually)
for when the market calls for them
or something practical
like coffins

..anyhow
I'm off to fondle god
good luck with the whole
fighting to stay alive thing

Baby Buddha rolled a blunt
the size of a submarine sandwich
but over estimated the time
the flick of his bic would take
to light the son of a bitch.
Flames shot up like a Kiss concert.
Thankfully the aroma caused
a stampede of stoners
who trampled the fire
out in their frenzy
for a hit.

bull,  sand, tug
