A Longing
From
Whence
A blue
Klaxon
Sounds
All of my sky
In a darkly
Cauldron
Marshal—
Clouds
Claimed
By gravity
I’m gone
I’m near
I sleep
I’m far
I flow
I rise
I cry
Did
Lie
Do
I
But
Off
You
All is
Feral.

mountainfruit
whistled she at five
silhouette on a purple
melange, lavender sky
moraine dark on contrast
this mountain doesn’t care
when coming down
fresh first flush blush
tea leaves on her back
moyna, oh moyna, you winked
when I rode by the gravel
a glimpse of paradise
taste of warmth, shine
mountainside on my left
(machine may rot
come, before night falls
come, let me rise into you
these tea can wait to roast
come, before this night falls
let me...

Moon
I’m
pulled
into orbit
Of an
unknown
moon
A planet
uninviting
Binds it,
ruptures
Of methane
blemish
“Its a gas”,
she said
Pointing to
her master
My moon
Oh
she loves
Being watched by
Those who rage,
Those who scream
But meaningless
Distant language
Curses,
I am
pulled
Into
her open
nakedness
I’ve known you, I feel, for unfiltered millions
Cosmic...

Excerpt from a letter Mme. L wrote to Montague
“
In my wet heart loves came to die
In me—
Trees bowed down to storms
Marriages broke into pieces
State secrets were lost
Many lost themselves
Some spent their best money
And came back again
Flew high, then sunk, flew again
Some hid, some ran
From everything that wasn’t me
They grew
They became men
They stayed the night
They made promises
After cheap release
They shrunk
And left crying, boys
All I’ve forgotten
...

And left crying, boys

A Lonesome Night In Fall
On a lonesome night in fall
He beds married women,
Sometimes their sisters
The man who smells like goat
Bloody fucking Mary with a soiled salty rim
Unapologetically spoiled,
Unashamedly naked in his harem
They all know each other
Tomorrow they grab lunch somewhere off-road
But tonight they hiss, they groan
They slurp they suck they moan
They lick they kiss they blow
They drink, they eat, on this
Evil night of the thirteenth.
He beds married women,
Sometimes their sisters
The man who smells like goat
Bloody fucking Mary with a soiled salty rim
Unapologetically spoiled,
Unashamedly naked in his harem
They all know each other
Tomorrow they grab lunch somewhere off-road
But tonight they hiss, they groan
They slurp they suck they moan
They lick they kiss they blow
They drink, they eat, on this
Evil night of the thirteenth.

Disguised Lights - IV
coda ~
Years since you left—the mundane ended.
The bed is iron hot with a coating of gold.
The carpet underneath hallucinates
Into me a straight road to eternal peace.
Remember?
The pair of Bose speakers
We bought strolling a shady corner
On a fright-night from a guy
Who said—
He wasn’t Russian,
And that zombies are real and manmade?
Now laments, not by chance
Coda from Strauss’
Thus Spake Zarathustra—Nachtwandlerlied.
It’s 4.30 AM now—after I miraculously slept

Disguised Lights - III
I haven’t seen in months, months
What the rest of the world calls
The Sun.
Strange, tainted chemicals in my brain
Hardwired, feeds an image of—
What scientific filament
Meanders trapped in
A little glass bowl
With a flick of a switch
Turns day into day
Fakes night into day
And I’m happy as a drone
If only until the wear of flight
—the Sun.
I dare not leave by decree of my
Homemade devil. So, I haven’t seen
In months, months
(Other than magic of a filament) ...

Hardwired, feeds an image of—

Fakes night into day
And I’m happy as a drone
If only until the wear of flight

I dare not leave by decree of my
Homemade devil. So, I haven’t seen
In months, months
(Other than magic of a filament) ...

Power of Silence
Know this—
Tomorrow,
If my mouth fails to render a word
If my eyes do not lock onto yours
If your hand is not nestled into mine
When we meet under the sun
Know that—
By now,
I’ve given it my all
And all of which were once mine
Is now completely, happily yours
All of me I’ve surrendered
In the name of eternal love
To the purity of your skin
Into the wilderness of your soul
Because—
I won’t spoil our moments
I won’t let our love rot, with talk
With manmade boundary of spoken words
With...

Disguised Lights - II
Dilemma ~
With a twist of its tail
Kisses the Devil on a fool’s lips
Although it’s supposedly light out now
The disgustingly dark night is still
The only sane thing I see as I write this
No stars shine, only a red moon
Cloud my needy mind
I fear—
If I go out and have a smoke now
Will chemicals poison my brain?
Will I kiss the Devil’s lips?
Taste all its acidic tongues?
Suck on its carcinogenic gorge?
Or shall I just stay in
Eyes wide open when they shouldn’t be
Let it lick my brain at this horrific hour ...
