Tato.

pass the bridge
of southern train
tracks— you’ll hear
echoes of bars &
bangles;

vastas with holes
bearing torches—
every moosh, mort,
del-engro, day &
dya.

Seafoam Dream

Seafoam Dream

Weightless in a seafoam dream
And I feel Ethereal
Donned in chiffon
As the symphony carries on

The sky is mine
If only for a time
Look at her shine
Look at her shine

Just so you know...

I do not react
well...
to rude commands...but

.. just so you know…

I have been known to
respond positively to
a polite request.

crow.

two forty one
i should knock
out at three,

laying here
with all these
tendencies,

i find myself
repeatedly
swallowing,

down that bitch
esophagus it’s
going,













i don’t wanna
hear that crow
cawing.

Pretence

Still waters,
only surface deep
waging wars,
beneath a placid sea

Rythmatic waves
pull you off your feet
the rip tides sway
in summer waters heat
