seen in the woods
Seen in the woods
I saw a white raven, and they are rare
Sitting on a tree branch, it had blood on its chest
Of the sparrow, it had eaten.
I could have been mistaken perhaps it was
A cardinal sitting on a bough getting s rest from
The burden of rituals and be called your holiness.
It could have been a white dove wounded
By shrapnel flying over Syria.
It could also have been a white cloud drifting
Lazily across the blue sky, with spots on sunlight.
Whatever it was, it was none of my business.
I saw a white raven, and they are rare

It could have been a white dove wounded
By shrapnel flying over Syria.

Lazily across the blue sky, with spots on sunlight.

A Visitor
Coming to you
A flood of flailing black
Sludges all sides of the ceiling
Your birthing room
Crimson eyes open
Bubbled up fingers reach up
Mesmerized, your throat
Bleeds the desire
Over and over
You relive it every night
But behold a once in a lifetime
Like silky velvet
The void drops in shape
Forming, a man of simple taste
With a crooked jaw
Discolored eyes
They glance into yours
He moves, his hair all directions
Born of your misery
Oh, look at you
There's a storm...
A flood of flailing black
Sludges all sides of the ceiling
Your birthing room
Crimson eyes open
Bubbled up fingers reach up
Mesmerized, your throat
Bleeds the desire
Over and over
You relive it every night
But behold a once in a lifetime
Like silky velvet
The void drops in shape
Forming, a man of simple taste
With a crooked jaw
Discolored eyes
They glance into yours
He moves, his hair all directions
Born of your misery
Oh, look at you
There's a storm...

A crow bit my third eye
Born day
Living today
Sunrise chasing sunset
Meandering moonbeams
Stars luminous lightbulbs
The breeze lifts as if I am a leaf
Fallen
Caught in an autumn gust
For time is today
Tomorrow the hours matter not
Best leave those for dreamers to dream
Living today
Sunrise chasing sunset

Emerge (Sunrise)
Soft comes the hush
of a farewell night,
you emerge, star-kissed
with diamonds,
gentle winds combed
through first light,
now aroused, you rise,
climbing
of a farewell night,
you emerge, star-kissed
with diamonds,
gentle winds combed
through first light,
now aroused, you rise,
climbing

The City That Sways
Bolsonaro
What you are is what
you control
YouTube
This whole world is a
missed connection
Homeland
Sitting up in dark apartments
As far from the mainstream
As you’d ever be
Sweet Prince
Two feet on the ground,
Quinn’s dead, and there
Would be no third chances
CBS
You’re facing lifelong
humiliation for
A paltry check
Wilson Park
Absence makes the heart
Look somewhere
else
What you are is what
you control

One More Night
The canyons speak
in volumes low
as there you dwell
'pon life's plateau
a cease of sound
found in nature's crease
where creation crescendos
captured by beauty
both out and in
waiting for the gentle blowing
of another Sonoran wind
mild, refreshing, and meek
caressing confines
of an infernal cheek
eyes raise as sun starts her descent
the moon takes its rightful shape
and darkness
is undressed
if for just one more night
in volumes low
as there you dwell
'pon life's plateau
a cease of sound
found in nature's crease
where creation crescendos
captured by beauty
both out and in
waiting for the gentle blowing
of another Sonoran wind
mild, refreshing, and meek
caressing confines
of an infernal cheek
eyes raise as sun starts her descent
the moon takes its rightful shape
and darkness
is undressed
if for just one more night

Turning night upside down
Sinking into the black blanket of night sky
It drapes me like a oversized black gown, I just slipped on,
That I refuse to wear in the light of day
Wishing upon a star to stay up later
As my heavy eyelids start to droop
Just wanting to turn night around
Hold it upside down dripping it into daylight
Making stars in the process
Shiny stars
It drapes me like a oversized black gown, I just slipped on,
That I refuse to wear in the light of day
Wishing upon a star to stay up later
As my heavy eyelids start to droop
Just wanting to turn night around
Hold it upside down dripping it into daylight
Making stars in the process
Shiny stars

Desperate Skin
I’m looking like a
Gorgeous
Retard in the
Mirror with my
Greasy bouffant
Who sent you
Here? I’d like to
Meet him
I can only get
Thirty people to
Read me on a
Tuesday
What does that
Say about me?
Well, writing is
A bitch, and no
One gets sucked
Off that way, and
No one ever really
Sees a Chinese baby
So what do you do
With that?
You pray to god no
One ever really sees
What you’re doing and
Then you quietly
Proceed into that
Long dark ...

Yesterday
Where do you go,
do you hide away in
the latest darkness?
Before leaving us
sing out
from behind the stars.
Maybe you are a dream
that has not yet
begun.
From tomorrow's
ample breast,
you may arise.
do you hide away in
