against the wall
blurry-eyed playing
dice
throwing snakes
dim dive in a holy corner
for the remainder of the evening
wearing total outpatient
stumbling, immersing
remainder of the evening
against adjacent fires
laughter and interaction
anywhere I could be
recovery techniques remainder
of the evening maybe
moving sofas for friends
catching crabs for supper
in the lord's lockbox
philosophising
schooners that might sink
remainder of the evening
because of grotesque hauls
one of a kind indiscretions
but still wanting badly to monologue
the mathematics they found
cute in the world
remainder of the evening...
a part of something left over
maybe something was completed

Excruciatingly keep
something gross
in your pockets
close but, polish it
and deeply look into it
in the mirror
keep some trauma
put it in a chair
that does not wobble
every day will expect you
to scrape your gums of it
every evening alone
before you can sleep
speak to it for a moment
with the accent that demands
it get it's chores done
when planning your next day's attire
wash your hands

Current bookmark
holding the page
on Perdido Street Station
is a tinted left lense
that fell from a dusty
pair of sunglasses
my son found
on a walking trail
and brought back home
for some reason

From Trees Fall Folklore
between decibels
unearthing all
at heaft of rebirth
nearly all at earshot
least one hive tunneling
to become sudden
near warming
reaching red thrumming
octaves stirred by degree
stern and sure
to slight and reach aria
throwing cadence to fissure
to the sandman's stone
dead seventeen
in sudden dialect
since salt exploration
cup closely hands
the outcry might ring temperature
we can't all be eaten at once
must not sleep
must swarm others

80′s Halloween
Every Octobers’ floorboard
creaks shadow
proclaiming inches
porchlights add flames
to flex our chests at amock
would squelch or squee
every October
to fill its belly
busted after night fall
to get rusted nails
round that sweet tooth
those fingers gloved
the vivid wanting
to be cut out of cloth
swagger, hairspray, and neon
gotten from somewhere
didn’t come home
til’ Ben Coopers’ werewolf was cracked
and tattered from savegry
til the pillowcase filled
every October still loved me
all red and gory with candy

Arthur spun a coin
fill a cup and wave
over our shoulders at something new
run the Louvre
small fingers tracing of
light along one tall window pane
briefly chiaroscuro
intently
watching your feet
inside above
cinammon dust breathe
& outwardly
batting precious lashes
thinking and....., seven stories below
rods and romantic kisses
cones and clarinets
and that which makes of daylight orange
even Ana Karina and
the whole Manhattan colourful
Could spin us in footsteps
see us dance
a band of outsiders
throwing darts at rain

Imogene electric red-haired cursive
Witness did she enough sunrise
the dusk, the gracias
must’ve danced
and only told the train conducter
nightfall with teeth
rhapsody some high
magician of Summer
and fried catfish
and garden strawberries
in a big Lincoln Towncar
a hand written letter of a lady

“Didn’t make it top heavy,
we didn’t all want the same thing.
So, it allowed us all to think a little broader
and feel a little broader
because, uh... we were experiencing
other peoples experiences.”
-Willem Dafoe

Tilted down the stairwell
in a halo
jar under trickle
tattered nook of a window
whispering ribbons
dregs chroma and drain
to crimp belly and toe
percolate iridescence
towards The Gates
sauntering to crease echo
cellar feathers splitting
worn-well shoes
stuttering now at the
stolid thrumming heel
between fumes of gravitas
spattering color
oblique out wild ferrule
ink hanging
doing suffering swagger
still upright mythology
saluted cheered
no orphan left splayed alone
paintbrush bristles thrum
on canvas crimp
belly and toe and swim

Super fragile realistic
expedited doses
white knuckles edging
gripping peppered black abysses
blood flow holding wake
the best of trauma’s stitches
traitors to thy self get shadows faced by witches

By 1983
The girls of sugar babylon
spent time dreaming
Then Teardrops exploded
Face to face red
lipstick champagne bottles
empty
A full library of Valley
Of The Dolls at 37 copies
Spat on her is love at first sight
This was not another crush
There was a problem in fact
He had a fiance
By 1983 rock & Roll

Win A Switchblade Comb
Best mud in any county
tangles boots
thick, ample fairgrounds
pungent with old factory hues
manure and Marlboro butts
doctored Jekyll’s kaleidoscope
locusts yawning on and on and on and,... yawn
jackwagon’s grift
barking straw gypsy
Hydes’ galore heckling neon sugar
“Barracuda” blarring
“Hey squirt, got what it takes?”
addle up to the Himalaya
to the sheets trying
to surf bulls
on shit speakers
sure, she stepped in it
watch your step, a carousel
universe of smoke
calligraphy lost in bad topographic
cherry Coke Dopamine
tarot spread full of tread
jungled folded over brown paper
into the hall of mirrors
enough to drudge the tower
never fast, just June bug
and kiss her on the lips
maybe just tall
with enough bite
between teeth
to win a switchblade comb
to Georgia shaked out, dusted in Jacksonville, sugared up
between the Quarter on a trampoline
wrecked enough to a train
In Biloxi, if your’e gamblin’ drinks are free...

Jeff Buckley will forever Mmmhhhmmhmmm...
This blanket is warm
this body will never be safe from harm and even music
is endless and even
and even though I’ve heard a whole
bunch of music
from so many different places
and fallen in love countless times
there’s still something
I guess it’s just called freedom...
I was captured
It was my Mother and Father
It was the best thing in my life
When I was a kid
Grandmother had the guitar in hopes that someone would play it
but it sat there
but then I found it and I strummed on it
but mostly I just put my marbles on it
in Los Angeles I was about 17, 18, 19 ,,,,,,
it’s a cold and broken hallelujah
to be worth my salt
“I would be a musician”
so i did
the physical imperative
to find out exactly, exactly
what had come from in my spirit to make music
“some tune will come down on me first”
or I’ll sit, ...absorb ....
some thing my hands need to do
just feel this and then I’ll go

It Doesn’t Come From Nothing
It does come from somewhere
when you hit an age
it doesn’t come from nothing
and learn the value of your own face’s asymmetry while gazing into a mirror
inquisitive reflection in the stead of a portrait painted by a piano
shows like hammers the shadow and dents that piled over time
lines cresting outward for your own psychic eyes to read between
speaking under light the gratification of violence and consequence
It does come from somewhere
when you hit an age
it doesn’t come from nothing
If you lived, and stayed put, and immersed yourself
stayed whole somehow having an awkward distance to the poetry of your soul
does questioning arise? do ever benefits take a hold
can you stare to the North and filter out noise
will a vantage point ever reveal itself that hesitates to cut your tongue
It does come from somewhere
when you hit an age
it doesn’t come from nothing
sometimes subdivision asks you to live so many places at once
too many areas of your thoughts for sale for too many prices unfair
will a spectrum of colors get ever bored and blend to another
will you spit and squelch and stomp it out
and finally let the wind inside
It does come from somewhere
when you hit an age
it doesn’t come from nothing
