f**king and Ambient Interruptions
Let’s make a pact,
Right here
And
Right now.
Don’t tell me what you like,
I’ll return the favor.
It’s such a little
Hole
In the wall
Spot,
Feels like it’s
Just
Ours
The waiter’s broken
English,
Mouth full of
Discordant
Teeth,
Landed here
From
Third world
Parts
Unknown,
And what
A smile,
So grateful,
So gracious
The intangible jua
De vivre
Of imminent
Eroticism
Surrounds...

Nameless Gods
The days clouds creating shattering, shadowing furnaces,
None of us could stand so close
To your ceiling an ocean, eyes of a lid in glowing coal
Tempering a fragile strange stare, an old awe,
Glassware that was passed to us
When we were young,
Looking up so frail,
They rise to their grave,
Harbour in the sky
In the bolt of an eye
The godly sins where sunshine ends,
The things you say with the fury you took in the fall
Nameless gods put up your road block,
Play your show and roar
How could we kneel?
How...
None of us could stand so close

The things you say with the fury you took in the fall
Nameless gods put up your road block,
Play your show and roar

Untitled joys of manifest reciprocity
Slow bends at the knee,
1 2
&
1 2 3
And a steady arc over
The river
And on to the
Sea
Mask over my
Mouth,
But,
Eyes
Shining
And every eye
Sees
And smiles
Back
At me
It's that clear
It's that easy
I have the
Power
To
Choose
Joy
Surf pounds to a
Hissing
Retreat,
Ebullient
Energies
All around
And
Everything
Waters and lights
Meet,
In sparkling
Refraction
Reach a hand to ...

The Magician
He who [awakens] must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us, by the awful grace of God.” Aeschylus
..
“Alright,”
I said,
With a deep inhalation, and
Exhalation
Of breath,
Cleansing, gathering the
Calm
Swell of
Immutable force,
That would be
Necessary
Let’s talk
About then,
A single
Solitary
Moment,
To which my
Wings
Are pinned
Stars boiling in...

DARK POEM

Is This Prescience
And all the mud brick houses have
Staring eyes,
Blinking in the haze of their mugwort
Billows,
Wafted with some
Religious pomp,
Toward the four
Corners
And the wind heralds a thousand
Clinical
Suicides
An hour,
Rounded up or down,
To a pleasingly
Symmetrical
Number
And the tattered flesh flag
Flails a prescription drug
Infomercial at the
Tidal arm,
Images of families
And foliage
And a pleasantly vapid
Disclaimer of
Collateral ...

For Ethan
A single, thin
Cloud
Draws
A lambent
Brow,
Across the
Moon
Empty bottles
Chitter
Before a barback's
Broom,
Echoing, somewhere,
Beyond
View
70's rock
Spills its
Bawdy
Throat,
Onto the
Avenues
Spirit,
In subtle,
Profound,
Frenetic
Vibration
I feel,
All around
And
Everything
Your open
Hand,
Reaching
Across
Cloud
Draws
A lambent
Brow,
Across the
Moon
Empty bottles
Chitter
Before a barback's
Broom,
Echoing, somewhere,
Beyond
View
70's rock
Spills its
Bawdy
Throat,
Onto the
Avenues
Spirit,
In subtle,
Profound,
Frenetic
Vibration
I feel,
All around
And
Everything
Your open
Hand,
Reaching
Across
