The ground as far as I could see was razed, wiped free of every feature bearing hope;
-
From molten ores to flashing thunderheads
to fields of glowing gasses joined with dust,
-
its scaly roots / swam beneath the ground like coiled serpents / half risen for air
-
- . - . - . - . - . -
. - . - . - . - . - .
-
disconnect the tendons of my trust my trust which slacks and falls like quartered meat
-
let us meditate on stars fixed in double panes
-
A long cold wind blows down the long brown hall. The lights are dim. The night man gently paces.
-
he's searchin all the ports an' all the bits of earth
dispersed like scattershot throughout the swell
-
-
Ribs expand like gaping jaws and current rushes through a maze of tubes
-
i'll also thread the copper hue of dreams destroyed by circumstance
-
-
take your long lithe figure
your bright ruby smile
-
i’ve never questioned all you’ve said
your eulogies to rotting dead
-
-
the wood that should have framed your living place
rotted from neglect and left you derelict,
-
the air was dripping
echoes through the dark
-
syncopated snores
crack the varied drones
-
The path may shrink and seem to disappear
through thickets barbed with venom thorns or leech-filled undergrowth
-
your bed will creak with pain
a quiet hopeless rage
-
arid airs absorb the skies
blasting tears to streaks of salt
-
-
And yes the skies could shower flood or fire,
ending every gain, but now they're clear.
-
-
sculptures pose a story told through frozen gestures symbolizing grace;
-
Consciousness manifests a complex
ghost in the chassis
-
Gather up your mass and spill your shadows down
across the crawl of long distempered hours
-
- . - . - . - . - . -
- . - . - . - . - . -
-
colors fold into a distant haze an open road to somewhere fades from view
-
My will was petrified beneath the strain
of heavy fears, imaginary needs.
-
anguished nipples face the wall
a red fist pounds dry air
-
needles tremble lightly overhead
a broad madrona creaks before the breeze
-
trunks and boughs
broken into maenad nests ...
-
run your fingertips along my scattered thoughts
-
