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…

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

Wreck

Into the sensesUpended the shipOn a slip and slide deckWho is the wreck?Inside a dazeSleepwalking in a mazeAn unbegotten sunHere you areA stone throw awayAnd yet i cannot reach yougradually blendingManeuvering in an aurora borealisUnraveling, while tighteningSubsumedBut not yet consumed

Pariah

I seemed destinedTo be on the brink of the diving boardToe knuckle tensionIn a state of suspensionDisbeliefthe air that we breathA high fever releaseBequeath to meThe distillation of childhood dreamsA remembered elixirCan be a perpetual tortureWe journeyedUncoveringFar and wideWhile dovetailingThis piecemeal lifeA graveyard offictitious matrimoniesA dried out sperm whale among sea menMy progeny’s umbilical cordsHarvested…

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
