On Getting Back

Missing image
On getting back:
"Who are you?" said plant to yr
Hazel. I am witch
I am yr sore thumb
Glass explodes
Death Gardel

& 7:30 comes

My grandfather has a flesh eating bacteria
1966 jungle parasite

STAFF SEEPING IN GAUZE
JESUS ANTI PALM PRINT
Black blood & Full moon

Pull
Push
Fog
Lighthouse
Tahoe.

I lick my cold sore
Who in the fuck are you?
I am yr bad hand
I am yr rat trap
Snapping dragon
Poppy sac kneel
Cuspid slip
Yawn nap
Then twilight,
And Colombian
Guitar for my family.

Aye yah yah yah yah
Roo-koo-koo-ka-roo

I am yr long nail
When I luv for keeps
I keep

Mini van:
Arco
Mexican eyelash & Miniature cantalope
When I was five, I climbed trees
Yes, trees
I hid
I was silent & Forgetable
I extended
I still am
Pulling from, and to
Shadows

Now, scratching at the shudder
Death rattle, you do shake low
You do
still &
Ur, mine, and
only a vineyard,
And a grape walk,
And a long talk,
Can save us now

Save us now
And happen.

    i am befuddled i am confused, and now i am altogether left in absolute awe..
    you are dirty and corrupt and it fills me with an absolutely delightful tingle...perhaps an itch...would you care to help me fix that?

    Nyx...

    Superbly Surreal

    Well, Poet whaddeyeknow! Free association at its very best ... At first I thought: this must be serendipity ... especially hazel witch ... and then I got the delusive pattern ...

    Yes: getting back may become surreal at times ... and today's passionate kiss might have been stirred by the kiss of shadows on the irises of a little boy ages ago; or the strum of the Colombian guitar might have been triggered by the strum of the wind on the leaves of dream trees ...

    Life is a happening; from moment, to moment, to moment ... we are fleeting wisps of thoughts ... materializing into a sore thumb ...

    Gegroet, Prins van Storms en Skemerte ...
    Adiós, príncipe de tormentas y del crepúsculo ...
    Goodbye, Prince of Storms and Twilight ...
