Poet Introduction
Light of mind
Cul-de-sac Jones
(another old work circa 2016)
There was a
brain in my nose
& a jack in my step.
A Black Stranger
Bird-catcher.
Slaving to the grind
of mastering the mind.
Our wicked dream,
my snake in your church.
& as sure as bones,
you flowered-off.
A bridge of green
on stones-to-worms.
When They make me pull
I push Them down.
When my blood sings
to the wailing vine.
Bites cold lips
with seraphim teeth.
Then breathing the sky ...

Bites cold lips
with seraphim teeth.

The Uniform Blues
(old lost poem from 2017-18-ish)
Needle-bitch drizzle,
it's all-in
the stitch...
a jackass-cede
to welling piece...
a sweet soul-sister
breaks
sex shop maid
(on the downhill run
from the piss of Mars)
her blood be up
for the rape of dirt!
or an itch on the
rocks-at-bay,
a pouch
where the eye
might pass
a kidney stone
through an
onocentaur's bray...
these campfire
vampire nights
with the goats
in my soul,
&...

Worm's-eye View
Know thy ledge
under the stand
crawling & falling
built of nerve
at the swerving hand-
I bit the farm
and bought the dust
from a nose-to-the-grind
approach adjusting eyes
over sand
gravedigging genes
to meddle in dreams
waiting on the curb
and watching the worm
race to the berm
through a gold ear tomb
and a cold beer womb
I smoke my bugs
at the capstone rate
of a pale horse game
placing late in the shade
to go inside...

Parade
Hero's journey
stone-grey
still-
in crying
pondscum
relief
we are the world
all along
the western front
a well to the deep
of a statue's sight....
a moral compass
time warp
zone,
the sky
with zero reaction
firmament
grey...
that gold display
of the march-hare gods
on their northbound
gaslit measures
(a nightshade
nihilist
capitalist treasure
on carpetbagger lips
a coin twist ...

No.where
is
now.here~
to seek
the passage lost,
a dead man
highbeams
the wild frontier
manifesting
a flesh machine
ghost
on the grim wire road
born slouching toward
[REDACTED]
dreaming
sodium grist-type
fates for cruel books
and bones
out in the sticks
and stones
all casting looks
on remembrance
alone
at home on the range
of a grateful change,
that Stygian hope
for tire fire screams ...
