follow the rules?
yes, because the dentist says brushing teeth is vital
and my dreams command hiding from my shadow
chased by the sun, a prisoner of days and moons
and the gutters need to be cleaned
and the trash goes out on fridays
and sometimes
i even find my way up rocky step river cross paths
to toe grab cliffs and jump in cold granite pools at noon
or eat the wet brown earth and plant seeds in her warm belly at midnight
and my dreams command hiding from my shadow
chased by the sun, a prisoner of days and moons
and the gutters need to be cleaned
and the trash goes out on fridays
and sometimes
i even find my way up rocky step river cross paths
to toe grab cliffs and jump in cold granite pools at noon
or eat the wet brown earth and plant seeds in her warm belly at midnight

the withering romance of entomology
i fly to the sun pine tree tops
to sting the green buzz of summer
clawed from the falling sky
and carve a hole in the earth
to bury him and lay my eggs
inside his hot belly that my babies
will eat to bring the winged fury
of survival into the blazing day
to sting the green buzz of summer
clawed from the falling sky
and carve a hole in the earth
to bury him and lay my eggs
inside his hot belly that my babies
will eat to bring the winged fury
of survival into the blazing day

the smell of go(l)d
Psalms 2:8:
"Ask of me, and I shall give thee, the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession."
they are brown
with no clothes
the water is blue
they give us
green parrots
with fifty men,
god and guns
brown is red
in the blue water
one parrot...

please turn your hymnal to eulogy song #1
it is not possible
for me
to find words
to explain
how something
came from nothing
for metaphors
of the Great clock
maker turning
the key of life
in the wheel
of space and time
that which
can not be named
yahweh
can not be named
so be it
yet light
begat
light
and
so on
into every
slithering -feathered
sap-green
claw -eyed
furry-blood
monkey- bug
plant-beast
unimaginable ...

vapors
the every
day
hallucination
of solidity
notwithstanding
what vapors
remain of us
when the end is gone
are not
so indistinguishable
from the vapors
of being
we become
at the beginning
before beginning
and during after
day
hallucination
of solidity
notwithstanding
what vapors
remain of us
when the end is gone
are not
so indistinguishable
from the vapors

one night
one night the police will call
your older son will hang up
because it's too late for calls
the second call he answers with
an abrupt "who is this?"
now he's at your bedroom door
knocking
enters the blackness
you and your wife are asleep
"it's the police"
your older son is crying in the dark
as he hands you the phone
this is about
your other son
a floor dropping sickness
roils your insides
but
he...

the grammar of tao
the center of your mind is now broken
from you
to this
the act of being
the mind of
(an)other
all others
no(thing)
your welcome
not to be you
in seeking
awol apostrophes
to be present
you are
harder to break
than grammar
we is sorry
for both of
all of us

betrayal in not t major
if her name starts with t
there are some things
you should never tell your wife
like your favorite color
is that green dress
on the floor
at the foot of the bed
the night before
your wedding
and that
the missing body
from said dress
has a name
that does not
start with t

the swing
i remember
the old lady's sweet tea
the green yard
fingers clutched on
cool long chains
arching to blue
head upside down
feet up
hair brushing
the dirt
the old lady's sweet tea
the green yard
fingers clutched on
cool long chains
arching to blue
head upside down
feet up

your song is always the prize (but well lets have some cake too)
reeded what wrote you
roll running off de tangled tung
jangled thee brain as much
such musical tumbling to (not)find
a perch on the invisible purplepink sky sea
chair chants of you and
i don't care falling down
cause your song is always the prize
roll running off de tangled tung
jangled thee brain as much
such musical tumbling to (not)find
a perch on the invisible purplepink sky sea
chair chants of you and
i don't care falling down
cause your song is always the prize
