Deus Ex Machina
Outside the quartz glass curled a world
in the cradle of hemispheric
crepuscular wings.
You stride an exercise bike as a masochist
under the vacuous pressure that atrophies down the bones.
I've called you a jellybean before, but this was the first time you believed it —
in the titanium dildo by which we penetrate the stars.
Not far from the Saturn rings,
floating rocks
that akinned to design from the observatory,
what can you say to free-falling dust?
I would sniffle for pump...

Outlets
If I hated anything it would have to be the outlets
He should have kept it all closed
I only see that it was a cowardice decision
breaking through what we once built
and all with which awe inspired itself of
a silence so thick
every echo turned to a flat line
every noose's loop pulled straight as it's rope stem
the only leaves about
brushed to bristles of silk on that such tree
right before gravity lost it's rights
which was right after our faces turned to walls
Through this decision
the completed masterpiece
the most...

PATIENCE WAITING, SILENT PATIENCE BEING MORE (9-7-04, 4:27am, Galveston Island, Texas)

up for water
from
my dreams
unrecalled
sleepwalking through
outer sunken
darkness
of my apartment
submerged
in stillness
i pause
to gaze
out my eastern
window
into the sleeping
world
and seeming
dead of night
outside
startled by
the brilliant light
of venus
crossing
rising from
the east
beaming
just above
the treetops
dreaming
treetop dreams
above me

Cobalt Blue
Starry Starry Night
how hard you fuel
their fiery soul;
blue-black backdrop
a feathered crow
glimmering in the moon;
One hundred thousand
million stars, unspooled
amid a fabric bolt
of endless cobalt blue
Starry Starry Night
how your brush
ensnaring space ...

Sick of not being famous
I better not get in trouble
To have a 🏠 house built to rubble
With out a spouse I'm a dud still
So how do I build a mud hill
Out of clay
Down hill in a cold wirld but dont want to swallow the sliegh
Not even happy yet they're calling me gay.
I wish a will would rush in
I've got skill,
Without discussion
Still with no precussion
Just a bongo drum
I wanna say
Grow on go mom
Sit in the morning as the dawn flow ⛅ sun
Is rising in the east
Not surprising is...

Breathe
Coping vs something new starting / Odd dodges like the last Pope's departing / The modern joke of being partisan / The oldest carbon / The original lotus unpardoned in a garden of shit and mud / Sitting centered in the buzz / Firespit enters from above / Desire to slip my steel hand into Epiphany's velvet glove / Spellbound hellhound smelled the wet fuzz / Ahead of the play at the end of the day from globally aligned positioning / Like a heuristic version of the Prime Meridian / Heart crime condition / No part time listening means every part and line, card and sign fits in / Hard to wind...

Dedicated to God
There are many gods that roam the earth,
but only one that strolls the dome of the celeste.
And not conceived
for cause that this reality breeds of white light,
aside the light as it is idea
and revelation unformed
nor bent by infant empirical.
Dragging the folds of Eta Carinae,
the trade winds are grafted 'round these toenails.
Consoling eons that shell casings would blind the squirming human frog
as it marked its pond through the...

Resonate
Even unseen, he touched my sight
Burning his image on the eyes,
Spooling orbs that scribe between
Recording sounds & visions at the
Moment when a history between
The future “us” would digitize,
Before we could get far beyond
That nano spark, in theory
(our equivalent of The Big Bang),
It’s when I knew
I’d been shot through a nebula,
And was so giddy scared
Screaming the whole time,
And all around me, space was...

“There’s no hope left for us,” I’m told as I splash water in my blood shot eyes.
“If we don’t leave this house we are sure to die!
You may think we are crazy and possibly a little high,
but I assure you we are very wise.”
I’ve been summoned to this strange old house to help out a family in need.
After hearing the panic and concern in their voices over the phone, I immediately agreed,
something evil is living in this house.
Something evil is lurking here and causing a rouse.
I know evil well and it knows me by name.
It’s a fact...

Lost in space
What can I say ?
You took my heart and ran away
But not to far
Just to a quiet place
Where you and I get lost in space
I touch your lips and caress your face
Planting those soft kisses
That seem to melt away
All the hurt
And all the pain
I wipe years away
With each tear fallen
Those beautiful eyes
Leaking their passion
You're that special place I go to
Whenever I need to
Feel secure and safe
And In your embrace
there is no other place
Soft kisses and...

lifeline, mine
how am I going to let you leave
when I have become so attached to you
although you're leaving will all be on me
I have become so attached to you
at times I feel I cling to your love for dear life
your presence lingers on me when I leave
it sticks to my clothes, keeps me warm like a jacket
your soul has rubbed off on me, I have become so much like you in ways I never thought possible
you have removed things that in my mind were set in stone
you have made me into someone new
you gave me life when I was quitting
you had me see in...

Blood on the Moon
The last time I had seen a lunar eclipse I was a young girl standing in the middle of a tree-lined street with head tilted back as if to catch stardust in my hair, and arms outstretched to embrace the mother moon I had never seen in this way before. I didn't know that the blood on the moon was from sun rays passing through the earth's atmospheric veil, and I danced in the street that night in total awe of its red hue.
Now, here I was years later and grown, supine across the hood of my escort's BWM, shimmering and naked on a beach towel while the vehicle's host, sublime in his...
