Poet Introduction
"I'm WORKIN' on it!"
IN MY BLUE JAY'S NEST
Blue jay, I confess
my mind is a mess
Chest pressed against breasts
a careless caress
Only the pure best
True breath of incest
my mind in a mess
with a true goddess
A testicle test
Testosterone chess
where bishops are blessed
caressed with finesse
With a profound guess
professors profess
questionable quests
requesting new guests
All truth just a jest
resisting arrest
Eternity's test
in my blue jay's nest
my mind is a mess
Chest pressed against breasts
a careless caress
Only the pure best
True breath of incest
my mind in a mess
with a true goddess
A testicle test
Testosterone chess
where bishops are blessed
caressed with finesse
With a profound guess
professors profess
questionable quests
requesting new guests
All truth just a jest
resisting arrest
Eternity's test
in my blue jay's nest

She sings
The robin is the earliest bird heard indeed
seen upon dawn as I spread out the seed
seen between worlds of unspoken words
unseen whirlwinds of wings sing unseen
fluttering off... -bringing serene scenes
that my waking eyes have never seen
silently robbing all sentience of my sentences
In silence she violently screams...........
she........ (sings)

FAREWELL, SWEET WHORE
Where did it all go wrong....
Oh, perhaps when I professed my love in a song
and confessed my insatiable lust for Belial
and a beautiful smile not seen in awhile
Clenched shells producing precious pearls
like Hell-inducing imperial ferret squirrels
slinking through my soul to devour my nuts
like so many men have had done by sweet sluts
Farewell to luxuries such as these
now a feral fading faint disease
Farewell to the fast-set facets of fantasy
of a past as its passed on unto thee
Old love withers as new serpents...

THE ABANDONED THEATER
In the beginning there was silence....
and on the following day, unending violence......
Flying flyers drifting down to meet her
in a delicate dance in a trance at the entrance
of the abhorrent abandoned theater
Unheard words ripped from my lips
through newborn tornadoes of pages slipped
killing and filling in the factors of rage
spilling spelling sips from unwilling lips
brave and out from the cave in a cage
factors of the actors killing us all upon the stage
Oh the rage in this age....
"Oh the rage at our...

HAIR DOLL (a stalker's tale)
Dear dreamy Amy, defiant fist fast
I sit right behind you in science class
Fair hair strands, one by one, slip emoting
away through ethereal air gently floating
towards the edge of my desk by the back of your chair
whispered winds flicker each soft tendril as it lingers
to be whisped away by destiny's fingers
I collect a part of you every day
and no one can take that away
I mixed my own blood with some clay
and shaped it in a special way
to look just like you, you and me true
meshed with your hair to make it true
...

BIG BAND GIRL
I found your soul on a worn out cassette
taped as a final vinyl marionette
still dancing within a different mind set
Dancing within chance with your hand within mine
in my mind in a time left long behind
you kept spinning long enough for me to find
I was your man and you were my girl
still holding my hand as you continue to twirl
as the decades continue to whirl
The past has passed in a whirl
Time's spinning hand in a swirl
spinning forever for my big band girl
taped as a final vinyl marionette
still dancing within a different mind set
Dancing within chance with your hand within mine
in my mind in a time left long behind
you kept spinning long enough for me to find
I was your man and you were my girl
still holding my hand as you continue to twirl
as the decades continue to whirl
The past has passed in a whirl
Time's spinning hand in a swirl
spinning forever for my big band girl

SNOWMAN (simple insight for the neophyte)
Grab the first thing you see
It could be anything you choose it to be
either plainly inane or insanely sentimental
vainly temperamental or just blessed as generally gentle
Now understand it as you hold it in your hand, truly feel it
now curiously, furiously kill it...
then lose your mind and make it mental
and crush it into a ball of snow, like sentient genitals
....and let it roll down the hill....
....take your soul down and make it feel....
....feel the thrill of the kill....
....make that snowball real....
Now do it again from a...

You don't belong
Its time to go home
We're setting up a private poker game
and setting up a blues set song
set in your name
a gambling game
both which screams out "You don't belong!!"
I don't really remember your name
that is our poker thing
and you are the joker
an unwanted song
You don't belong
Nothing to say
Just go away.....

All Dressed Up
I confess I may not be dressed up enough for my death
what, with the shit in my pants and my absence of breath
and my shirt not matching the gloss in my eye
nor my newly-worn hemp rope tie
But the invitation read casual casualty
an insinuation of indifferent informality
towards the incineration of my forgotten face
which I can't imagine being different from this place
There's nothing worse than being cursed
and denied the friendly fires within death's hurried thirst
than being buried and rotting from all that you know ...

DOLLAR NOTES
Room and board and bored boarded windows
half dead, her and I tied to the bed
boarded up windows down in the cellar
We both broke free from the ropes of dead hopes
She ran and I yell and I tried to tell her
before she was caught again, before he could sell her
sought again, caught again, I tried to tell her
before he could resell her, I tried to tell her........
She runs down the hall as I holler and hollar
I call her and call her still wearing the collar
I follow her watching the awaiting fall of her

Within the eye of the Bee holder
She told me that when she was young
her father was a beekeeper
and that she would travel with him
across Texas to sell their sweet nectar
from the bees that he had raised and praised
and everyone loved what they had made
all was praised, by me, at least by his daughter,
Rexana McLease, at least
What can I say, she was all I could see,
she was forever my sweet honeybee
And the honeybees kept sleeping, and slept
from within the hive from which i've been swept
scattered away into a distant memory
of unmade money and honey
My...
