tacoma's insomnia
take care of what you determine at twelve
whether you the age or the clock
if you decree never a marriage to try
or decry a sleep it just might be
a concrete pariah
who, who decided that twisted co-pilot
oranges in the gridded street sockets
would inform the sky a tiger aspect
has growled at them or the landing
pad of the tiger-lily was a welcome?
it only achievable during daylight,
the decisive division of tick-tock
laps up like a cat sand-tongue
the deep bruise a low-
lying overripe...

dark chocolate, cranberry
toothpaste
you text to meet up
dark chocolate, cranberry- decline
with teethy
emoji for no hard feelings
swish in my mouth
the years ago
next to the buckthorn bristled path
can’t sleep can’t brush yet

FALLING EVER FURTHER MORE DEEPLY AWAY (12-13-1995, 3:36a.m., Galveston Island, Texas)
i stay up all night at times
perhaps to steal back time
that i feel is being stolen away from me
i stay up in my head
keeping watch from my inner battlements
looking for the shadow of death
breathlessly lurking all about me here
across and throughout each long night
concealed in invisible layers of so much
mysterious deadly craftiness
stealthily stealing ever closer to me
all the time day and night
it knows i watch in wait for it
as even here now
i listen for the clacking
of it s sneaking bones
trying to slip in ...

TIME FLIES AS DO I (11-9-1995; Galveston Island, Texas)
it seems
the later i stay up
each night
the faster time
flys by
insomnia slings me
again and again
centrifugally
like a nocturnal throw of the dice
through a lopsided
elliptical orbit
increasingly further
around and beyond
all common sense and logic
beyond sleep s central
restorative processing experience
into the alchemical digestive enzymes
of tomorrow morning s
now fast approaching
first light
as i sail through these dark slippery...

Gehenna
Glancing at the clock anxiety paralyzes my thoughts
Forcing a deep breath in shakily I exhale
Exhausted and drained I quell my clamorously racing thoughts
Crawling deep in the soft plushness I arrange myself
My two fat squooshy pillows I prop up against the headboard
Pulling thick downy blankets over my head I fashion a breathing gap
Quieting all thoughts I focus my breathing deep inhales slow exhales
Quickly drifting off my dreamscape shifts into the icy bowels of Gehenna
Legs flailing arms swinging I struggle to wake while chanting...
Forcing a deep breath in shakily I exhale
Exhausted and drained I quell my clamorously racing thoughts
Crawling deep in the soft plushness I arrange myself
My two fat squooshy pillows I prop up against the headboard
Pulling thick downy blankets over my head I fashion a breathing gap
Quieting all thoughts I focus my breathing deep inhales slow exhales
Quickly drifting off my dreamscape shifts into the icy bowels of Gehenna
Legs flailing arms swinging I struggle to wake while chanting...

A Lullaby for Inner Demons
sleep little demons
sleep
lay your mischief down and rest
save your anger for tomorrow
slumber little imps
slumber
people can be so unkind
the world revolving around their need
dream little devils
dream
why do we worship so much greed
save your mayhem tomorrow
doze my gremlins
doze
we can burn the world when you wake
warming our toes on society's blaze
rest little imps
rest
blowing up Wall Street sounds so sweet
and the howling of corporate greed
sleep my monsters
sleep
dream of...

Incessant Wakefulness
No alcohol, no anesthesia, no pill, no hypnosis
Don't you dare say counting sheep ...
nothing works
To help me fall asleep ....
Then my mind wanders about
Flowing meandering near and far
Spiraling deep down to the core disarmed
Until I fall deeply soundly blissfully ...
Into her open arms ...
Don't you dare say counting sheep ...
nothing works
To help me fall asleep ....
Then my mind wanders about
Flowing meandering near and far
Spiraling deep down to the core disarmed
Until I fall deeply soundly blissfully ...
Into her open arms ...
