Your Love
Loving you
is much like walking barefoot
in a field of thistle
It's thorns have been cruel
and brutal while your beauty softens the soles of my feet

Release Time Lapse Delay
Time,
patchworked and plundered pilfered by boney fingers
that grip celluloid
He mends. thoughts
he can not forget with words
he dare not say
retrieved by a frozen tongue stolen from the pit of his gut
Release
Radioactive balm coats
his mouth lubricating memories
that drip onto sun faded desires
of Delilah squatting on the floor
of his mind.
"an even keel" she repeats
between a gasp
and a labored breath
Captured
Sent back to assault him
are the days of windblown ...

February 18, 1961
Wings
have grown, from torn shoulderblades.
Once desperate red-orange
skies, with its lacey tattered clouds release the past, embracing
the future through silent liturgy
Wisdom gained from
the harshness in life has layered me with a patina the burnished kind wrapping my hope in warm
confidence
Stored are my yesterday's
along with every tomorrow
I find no need to hold them
as I will live each day now
without regret or sorrow
Awakened, from my careless
carefree days of crushing
blossoms...

Torment Stays With Uncolored Landscapes
Gravel scraped
decisions pocketed
buried alongside thoughts belonging to others, passive aggression feeds off decaying logs
on daisy chain rich soil.
Self imposed aching groin awakens effortless satisfaction images
of an old reel-to-reel slapping, displays across foreheads
till it stops
Bone china teacup windchimes
adds a gentleness
to his typical wilderness
where wild pigs devour all color
from nearby landscapes
he grins, in admiration

Landers California 1992
Solicitude separates
the firmament, equilibrium
off kilter, babies cry
animals overwrought
It begins
low rumble amassing,
magnitude increases
Sounds have drowned out the heavens punctures my ears
Vintage stove 500 lb hopscotching with asbestos tile
The children !!
one on my hip one in each hand the four of us make our way
to the door flooring and walls like bumper cars to our bodies we reach the threshold like threading a moving needle
Darkness gives way to eerie light

Now I Know My ABC's
Awareness blindsighted
Butterscotch mentality melts
Constant excuses for negligence
Deliberate screen door destruction
Exacerbates the need to fight, or not
Fiendishness controls your psyche self-
Gratification is your objective making all else insignificant
Hellishness hangs heavy replacing
Intelligence of any kind with
Jacknifed attitudes looking for
Kowtowers in hopes they would
Legitimize your petty existence
Maniacal smiles between bougainvillas...

Incarceration
Graying skin polished
stainless reflection. motivation resistance at war
futuristic thoughts crowd
the space reserved for misery.
Day Room
beneath fluorescents absent
windows, a room without a day
perception in duplicate.
Change forced
by the moon, and the sun
over head then below
God, how I miss her warmth
magnetic pull forcing
these bones to react
helmeted rebar iron caged cap
shortcomings failures echo
between cells, which ones
are mine? ...

Fractured Smiles Embellish Your Nakedness
Cesspools,
sinkhole buries regret and sorrow layered over,and between
any good salvaged.
Remorse equals nothing,
you could offer.
Hold on to what drives you
this spiral road to nowhere
but a return to the flame
soothing burnt ends.
Rake the body
of solemn memories, skim energy blackened and negative weighing you down in your shallow hatred your life preserver, keeping
your mind afloat
above
the hurtful residue
Delivered from your tower
of shame, your chains that bind progress with fear...

Be My Origami
I find equality in the color
of a murmur, our tesselation
unvaried in repose.
You are my love, my kami washi
as ravishing as mitsumata under
the rising sun.
You are perfection in smooth folds
along gentle curves of the petal.
Our passion soars, like subtle
strands of unryu, over mountains
that heave, and through fertile
valleys
Your skin, an exquisite fabric
embossed with the symbol
of forever
ThIs is where I will stay
Now, rest with me in kudsumada

Ballistic Therapy
Dark scales sloughing off
the edge of my skull
Bloody remnants of the cold
hard steel you used to bash
through bone and brain matter
"I love you" the words that
came from your lying tongue
Pressed against pink stucco
my face pitted scratched with
bits of gravel
The easy way is your choice
barrel pressed against the
back of my head as you cock
your weapon
Surprised--? as I take the barrell
holding it to my forehead "
"look me in the eye" I say as

Failed To Lay Eggs Before Winter
Every word you speak, slices
crossways, burn spots melt
dripping into molds
cinched razors knotted, tied
beneath the first layer of skin
makes for a beautiful bracelet.
Perch yourself
above the fainting couch
stained damask fabric captures all
secrets that once lay hidden
below the cellar.
Nails copulate with rotten floorboards
Emollient cools abrasion, ears itch
whispers try to spin their way out
the other side
Cushioning temples that pound
compensates for the...
