senses pentet
scent
most ancient lure:
first sign of any danger…
or of any prey.
sound
listen for the signs.
her moans and pulse and breathing
are bliss's clockwork.
sight
'i's crossed, 't's dotted,
the filling in of details…
icing on the cake.
touch
fingers arc the gap:
galvanizing to the flesh,
quick'ning to the soul.
taste
the musk of desire.
the sweetness of submission.
the sharp tang of fear…

Paced with prey's movements,
Reveling in the hunt's thrill.

Once her breathing stops,
Regretanbly, it is done;

holographic nothingness
had a pattern
with no meaning
loose and scattered
evading gleaning
with no meaning
simply racket

4.19.95: a father's rant
the murrah building:
bombed, now, fifteen years ago...
I had to tell my daughter!!
schools are not teaching
even the simplest of facts:
self-fulfilling prophecies;
dooming our nation,
dooming this entire world
to re-live what they've left out.
i am telling her,
taking her hand, walking her
through the cycles we repeat:
first at ruby ridge,
again at waco, texas:
the government made mistakes.
tim mcveigh was there
when the davidians burned.
watching, blaming, sowing hate.
two years to the day...
bombed, now, fifteen years ago...
I had to tell my daughter!!

self-fulfilling prophecies;

flower of life
lotus
petals splayed symmetrically on an infinite globe's face;
intersecting gaze of
omniscient eyes.
the void that spawns ten-thousand natural kinds
and the voice that breathes life into each of them so they might prosper.
points joined within this space form the five platonic solids,
physicality's straight edges and planes.
tetra-hexa-octa-dodeca-icosa-:
the poly-hedral, multifaceted blossoms in the flower.
the surface of the sphere is the shell of energy surrounding
the spinning merkaba anchored in each of us

civil disillusionment
what of the constitution?
where is the adherence
to that hallowed institution?
why bother with appearance?
where is the adherence
to the balances and checks?
why bother with appearance
with a foot upon our necks?
to the balances and checks
the executive gives orders.
with a foot upon our necks,
the masses have no quarter.
the executive gives orders,
the judges legislate.
the masses have no quarter:
congress supplants the states.

lip-servicing like whores.

catch of the say
cast
the net out on the water,
see the sea surround.
what will be pulled in?
the shoals and schools of nouns and verbs,
naught but notion and distraction,
wrigg'ling in their multitudes?
in their midst: contractions
prepositions and
flopping, weird gerunds?
plus the odd mysteries
of adjectives and adverbs
smeared with muce'lige of description
bright-fast-beautifully-dark-absurd.
will it pull you in?
outline
your thoughts with
the words found in the net you
cast

creation's
true facets,
polyhedral
perfection:
lines and points
in life's flower.
the edges and planes
of our world
described in
bracketed numbers.

osmotic convection
hindsight's been besotted
her garments, vomit-stained
the hymns have been forgotten
still, the hymns have been ingrained
her garments, vomit-stained
her vision leered and blurring
still, the hymns have been ingrained
and the memories are stirring
her vision leered and blurring
as the vapors pale in thickness
and the memories are stirring
as the oracle bares witness
as the vapors pale in thickness
the hymns have been forgotten
as the oracle bares witness
hindsight's been besotted
her garments, vomit-stained
the hymns have been forgotten
still, the hymns have been ingrained

architeuthis rex
its cyclopean form concealed, coalesced in nebulous fathoms.
its tongue, a vast vocabulary: color, pattern, texture.
its mind alien and predatory. the kraken comes to feed.

healed
love
me til my muscles tremor,
til my joints
are weak.
leave me panting there
between distress and ecstasy.
then anoint me with your balms...
kiss's narcotic,
skin's sweet panacea:
unguents of love and desire.
me til my muscles tremor,
til my joints
are weak.
leave me panting there
between distress and ecstasy.
then anoint me with your balms...
kiss's narcotic,
skin's sweet panacea:
unguents of love and desire.
