Poet Introduction
Infant word Houdini.
..introvert heaven..
.at dusk..
..this big home empty and still..
..heat radiates life unto cold limbs..
..glow worm wrapped in blankets and furs.. ..listening to the wind move this deep chill through the old leafy ones in the canyon below..
..brass stag silhouette..
..whispy faint smells of violet smoke breathed in calming nerves..
..at dusk..

..devotion..
.mother..
..my fiercest lightning storm teacher..
..your gale force winds full of broken glass..
..your words spit nails crucified my youngest heart..
..pulsating lamb guts on a giant cross..
..loving you is a pitiful crawl barefoot across an ocean of crackling slicing lava coals..
...the weight you carried..
..your own young lamb quivering in the darkest rotting bog..
..i know this lineage burden well..
..skinless with no shelter in a world of salted rains..
..custom tailored terror..
..and so it is..
..there it is.. ...

..trouble allowed..
.rageful cries is the language..
..that centuries of fuckery breeds..
..your unwillingness to sit with your discomfort..
..while a peoples finally rip the cruelty of silence..
..off their mouths..

..i implore you to WEEP and swim in heartbreak..
..don’t apologize..
..align with the unwavering grief..
..of these deeply troubled days..

..G. F. I can't breathe..
.i can't breathe..
..screaming whispers in the wind..
..falling upon demented ears..
..knees in necks..
..700 lbs of force on I can't breathe
..choking out the gazelle..
..with the vice grip of a great white shark..
..but a shark kills to sustain..
..this kind of predator, far more sinister..
..tears and cries summon the god of death..
..the god of death the only one with mercy..
..the only one who can give this kind of voice to a voice..
..dismantled..
..heartbroken..
..collapsed..

::high priestess::
.days on end in silence..
..broken by the presence of this creature..
..bringer of the deepest indigo flavor..
..you rose out of the smoke..
..your skin like night jasmine petals in my mouth..
..blissfully fragrant i savored each dew drop that your early morning left on my lips..
..and when i looked up..
..you sank.. my most precious love..you sank..
..trenches deep descending into the void that exists below the sea..
..unreachable depths..
..kissing the ghost of your hand..
..the last of your delicate fingers grasping into...

::act 2::
.quietude broken by your singing engines..
..chirps and gobbles drowned out by ring tones and babble..
..we had a glimpse of something close to an old stillness::
..but little could stand it..
..the thoughts were too much..
..intrapsychic fucks..
..your house was clean but was your house clean?..
::crisis shopping, peacetime equivalent of buying outta debt::
::civilian military industrial complex::
::don't think you're not infected::
::hyper machine circus gods taking reign from the earth salt silence once again::
