Stupor

I fell into a stuporAll aroundTransfixed moonshot boundinsomniacmoon walkingCrawling inchwormI see it nowIn the crowning of birthIs our coronationA blithe sensationTell me I amOf worthinessEarthboundAnd yet otherworldlyTell me my allegianceFloundering in my innermost beingGasping a fish out of waterCircumspect of possibilitiesYet immobile

Falcon 1/7/2023

Be on the concave  Burrowing deeper within the crust  Driven by discovery   To unearth the inner core with our trowels  In spite of grinding of molars at night  In spite of hip tension     I choose Exodus   Rather than settling  U-turning back to a beginning   I choose to challenge falsities and self-blame    I choose Life  With…

Unobstructed vision 1/7/2023

Clear, unmystified view of Lake Killarney lake   Cranes posed and slashing for minnows in the shallows   Daylit Moon shines acne scar crater   Lapping water polishing granules   Lilies anchored and resistant   Time dulls, or rends jagged edges shit. That's me

Across the Grain (HPNY) 1/1/23

A sigh of relief   Respite from disease   Sight and desire   Sunday afternoon showers  Shivering in the glacier melt A rush a blood- numbing to the head   Controlled contracted exhalation     Just a numbers game   Existence is only a game  Exclamation a newish year     In this barren womb of life  I will never be exhumed    Caught in…

A Rock

There is a time to be a rock     The black rook  allow the rain pour down, tear drops washing the edifice   A squirrely cardinal flew and shit on me  I am imobile whilst being a sundial   I am a temporary abode for red fox    Seeing the world past by but seldomly speaking   A silent watcher …

Toe to toe

here I stand   toe to toe    soaked in the emulating smell of a punch bowl    you disappear among the shadows  Among the neon green and grape purple balloons   Reflections of the strobe lights   so blinded by this bright folly    Falling slowly, effortlessly blameless   A spurt of surrender in a shotgun confetti       Thoughts streaming out like…

Through the eye

Thread me through the eye   Drawn into the sinkhole   I have no tunic or clothes    Shaken out of our slumber  Spend a lifetime sleepwalking     Sleep crawling    Through the oceans like a submarine    Born and bred from the ocean state    We all become chained to oars  With the slave drivers jumping ship    With unmet needs and…

Moonshade

I saw youover the moonMoving to unmarked destinationDwelling in a shadowy graveWe are all unlit roman candlesStanding in the middle of streetsMisfiresburning at both endsHidingUnder moonshadesAs night walkersI can’t seem to findThe neon lit exitAs if trapped in a locked theater

pastures

somehow we will live undisturbed under robin's egg skies unadulterated cold mountain air somehow our feet will be tickled by grassy pastures and the tilled landed opened silt soil we will someday drink pure transparent water melted from the permafrost we will eat bread until we are full we will laugh until our belly aches…

Mend

Don't pretend To mend And realign this vertebrae This foundation Is your elation And this rupture tears out the seams infrastructure collapse life on the balance beam Here I cradle you undreamt peaks And caverns unexplored a symphonic memory be desire all that is required wisdom of the ages passed from the sages
