The Light Between Us
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win”
Don't Dream It's Over, by Crowded House

Deus, Ex Machina
I have this dream, where
Everyone I love
Returns to me
Your name is gone,
Its fine
Bones,
Its once
Intractable
Electric
Shadow,
Has been
Erased,
From memory
Time marches
On, with
Me,
In it’s
Arms,
Gazing
Back,
Through the
Car’s
Rear
Window
A boy
Who lost
His father
And I,
Am the quiet
Little house,
Your still
Frame
Architecture, now
Supports
And we are...
Everyone I love
Returns to me
Your name is gone,
Its fine
Bones,
Its once
Intractable
Electric
Shadow,
Has been
Erased,
From memory
Time marches
On, with
Me,
In it’s
Arms,
Gazing

A boy
Who lost
His father
And I,
Am the quiet
Little house,

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...
Right here
And
Right now.

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...

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

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 ...
