SILENT SCREAMS
SILENT SCREAMS
One single stroke
of the saw blade made
across your ethereal throat
Sensual serrated serenades
spill out in silent compliant cascades
of carefully crafted crimson waterfalls
from a mutually mute acute
mingling of the murderer and the murdered
in a symphony of silent violent violin strings
singing to nothing
with calls never heard
One single stroke
of the saw blade made
across your ethereal throat
Sensual serrated serenades
spill out in silent compliant cascades
of carefully crafted crimson waterfalls
from a mutually mute acute
mingling of the murderer and the murdered
in a symphony of silent violent violin strings
singing to nothing
with calls never heard

We all begin underground...
WE ALL BEGIN UNDERGROUND (a cicada's tale)
I'm not certain that I would call it birth
what we are and become beneath the earth
burrowing blindly beneath the soil
enduring the ages as we ceaselessly toil
There's nothing to see in the dark underground
through the countless blind years, that I've found
spending seemingly endless hours
feeding on the tangled roots of the unseen trees
which tower up towards the skies above this dark dismal tomb
sucking the nutrients from the buried tendrils of survival
forever awaiting sweet sunlight's...

NO POEM
NO POEM
Penetrating various variables of infinite parables
each separate section a cause for infection
of the inflection of perception before it's conception
the reflection of introspection is paused
for unneeded correction and pointless dissection
forever defending the impending unbending imminent ending

I SEE YOU IN THE I.C.U.
I see you in the I.C.U.
The silent buzzing of eternal light
shifts with opening eyes into fuzzy disguise
warm water falling like virgin silk
upon my numb and vulnerable skin
soft hands caress each part of me
my eye traces across the soft subtle features
of delicate faces of angelic creatures
I attempt to speak, a weakened endeavor
soft laughter sputters from their youthful essence
like fluttering butterflies flying forever
then muttering amongst themselves
leaving me isolated in their presence
They believe that I won't remember...

BLUE JAY DOWN
BLUE JAY DOWN
My roommate told me about the blue jay today. There are two of them that come by to eat the peanuts, along with Chippette the squirrel.
We have a couple of dozen sparrow pets who come by to feast on bread crumbs and to drink cool water from the crystal dish which we leave at the edge of the gate. The mockingbird and BIG DADDY Grackle come by on occasion to have a drink, and on rare moments even the cardinals make an appearance.
Today the blue jay sat by the crystal dish. It drank cool water until it couldn't move it's beak anymore. It could not...

THE SCREAMING TREES
THE SCREAMING TREES
The trees are screaming again.
They tend to do that around this time
of year towards the end of August.
They know that the end of their time is near.
A final symphony of allure and mortal fear
echoes across the evening........
They simply want to Fuck before they die.
They cast spells to create new screams
to be heard within the future herds.
The wish to lay fresh unhatched eggs
on the bark of a screaming tree
awaiting mesmerizing hoards
of persistent patient destiny
Then they simply vanish. ...

THE NEW HIVE
THE NEW HIVE
The workers spread the terrain around for about a week and a half.
Metal monsters with iron claws moved the earth. Pipes were set, pathways
made. Pieces of metal and wood were staved into the soul of the soil.
---And then the wasps came in
to form the foundation of the new hive---
Semitrucks with swirling bellies came to cum and pour their concrete
into the base of the nest. New workers would eventually arrive to complete
the next task, for the...

BETWEEN US
BETWEEN US
She is violet and I am red
and every color there between us
is infinitely loved and bred
and what I mean is....
The free and violent sand is dead
to sing a sin sonnet above and fed
Breathing without breath and cussing at nothing
No everlasting stinging final kiss
nor a singing songbird's beloved bliss
Nothing left between us
She is violet and I am red
and every color there between us
is infinitely loved and bred
and what I mean is....
The free and violent sand is dead
to sing a sin sonnet above and fed
Breathing without breath and cussing at nothing
No everlasting stinging final kiss
nor a singing songbird's beloved bliss
Nothing left between us

JUST A CREASE
JUST A CREASE
They are everywhere,
the bugs crawling on me, inside of me.
Spray them down.
Deceased Diseased Beasts
And is that another bug
crawling on my leg?
No, just a shadow on the crease of my jeans.
I'll take another hit at the roach
Just a crease in my genes
It means what it means
INCREASE........
.........NOTHING
Just a crease
They are everywhere,
the bugs crawling on me, inside of me.
Spray them down.
Deceased Diseased Beasts
And is that another bug
crawling on my leg?
No, just a shadow on the crease of my jeans.
I'll take another hit at the roach
Just a crease in my genes
It means what it means
INCREASE........
.........NOTHING
Just a crease
