long distance love keeps me warm in january

violet sun
burn my eye
tripled
by violet snow

i stick
to the shadows
where the light
turns off

bundled in karma
my debt

life is short
and mostly winter

then something
in my mind
wakes me up

long distance love
keeps my heart
together

all impending
i forget

long distance love
keeps me walking
somewhere

body of virtue

body of weakness
penetrable
spinning on ice
in time
dizzy
body of virtue
constricted
honeycomb sweet
poison
drink me

medical weekend

bored
trying to go to india
snowed in
sliced by wire
at the deli shop
duped , charmed
still in traffic
street lines blurry
uninteresting
bored , jaded
astral traval to india
stage I
song of the day
grey

burger prayers

this is how  
the great work  
hurts   

was it in a dream ?  

stuck in habit traffic  
im a rabbit   

wish i had  
someone  
thinking for me  
in the herd   

im listening to  
myself  
im forced to hear  

a lot of words  
rhythm  
voodoo   

put them in pages  
like plants  
for our friends   

my love is stubborn   

too old for clowns

i was  
already  
on the outs   

jungle rains 
come closer  

i recall  
a circus  
all morning  

shoot me  
with darts  
for a show  

tell me  
something  
i dont know   

dont tell me  
im to old  
for clowns

ghost of the koleidoscope girl

first to fall 

a watering can 
in some woods 
drop a rope 

dozens of 
dead endings 

no matter . 

girl in the woods 
half sleeping 
slumped 

squirming 
on a chair 
of wood 

rainbow ribbon 
red to brown 

kaleidoscope girl 
strange colors 
a glimpse 
your light trail 

i know 
you know 
youre gone . 

well of bricks 
with a bucket 
' trust me ' 

she overheard 
dimensions 
overcame 
convention 

she was often  
left behind 

she never left 
the woods  

glass in me

jagged 

i put off thinking 
soon be dead 

de-sire 

lucifer 
crack me  

if he cant crack you 
he dont need you  

DUMP 

im ashamed 
of the land 
i fill  

need weeks 
in bed 
to recover  

NOW

dog days danya

the dog star
long hair
danya
lightning
run away
with the story
and take me .

wanted a dog
and
she called me .
public broad
the new age
the aeon .

you and me
were in the sky
the same time
after solstice .

dog days danya
we were up .
all night long
and on our luck .

together as
some stars go
bound by eyes
below .

like new years eve
of course .
and now theyre
counting down .

lies without desire

lay and lie
without a reason ..
where does
lying
lead you ,
liar ?

in and out
a dresser ,
deco ,
stripped and
painted yellow ,
probably lead ,
and curtains ,
poison .

or maybe just another
moldy basement ,
tiny TV .

where will
your story
take you ?

another year
nomadic ,
nameless ,
waiting for
another role ..

not as many
gifts from suitors
as youd hoped ..
and holidays
must seem
so friendless ..

with those
hold-me movies
every channel ..

how easy
to become them .

lies that people
recognize ,
already learned ,
and loved ..

but you ?

seems by now
the truth
could only hurt ..

just your dish
says so much ,
and every prop ,
your yarn ..

and the snags
in your act ,
just laugh ,
just throw your
head back ,
take a bow .

lies without
intent ,
no liar lies
without a reason .

new babel

take me back
when people flocked
we were so few
and far between
take me back
to babel new
and let me see
the evolution
that old curse
abides unbroken

wondering
that sixth sense
weve forgotten
so many words
cant introduce
no human tongue
could break
her borders
but still the deaf
understood
unchanged

that old story
must be more
than words so
simply written

prince removed

the movie star who said
my audience is out there ..
packing back up .
they will remember me
how they projected me to be

the manifestation of mizrah

she was not so cold or grey  
she did not bounce the light  

mizrah  
manifested for me  
i was lucky  
leveled  
nearly conquered  
her immortal spirit  

now i see her  
in my tea leaves  
peak behind   
a door frame  

my day became  
more interesting  
with her  

mizrah manifested  
cowgirl tassled  
manicured  
the golden egg  
the jack pot princess  
ageless drifting  
in the sandstrokes  

she is a cowgirl  
alone in the world  
from a one time life  
bypast  

stardust  
buffet breakfasts  
bygone  

but when its raining  
in the desert  
you may see her  
with her snakes  

manifesting mizrah  
magick pink and glitter  
shes so full of something  
once was life  

mizrah  
shes so good to me   
shes so good  
to the world she clings

the deliberation of fishes

eggshell  
here i am  
in LEDs behind  
a double pane  
brown tint .  
wishing i was  
in the rain  
washed up .  
if we as men  
had deliberation  
like the fishes ..  
rain makes  
our human brain  
think different .  
candy and
floor gloss  
kill us   
let the rain fall .  
wishing i was  
like the fishes .  
every stroke  
of thunder  
under water  
disregarded .

apple of eve

the silence was binding 
the dayless , nightless 
ascend this nothing 
deathless , lifeless 
bad blood blinding 
soul from the source tree 
oh apple of eve 
take this bite , relieve me 
earthly burden of existing 
vegetation plentiful 
and animals long extinct 
locked in ivy cages 

satan said that this could save us 

and shortly 
winds were shaking 
splintering all four directions 
bricks fell 
as satans creatures scattered 
through and over garden walls 
the human couple 
in the center clasped together 
closely loving one another 
more than they had understood 
while the moon rose for the first time 

and that was the apple of eve

jesus complex

satan save me 
from this complex 

i die 
before im old 
but after 
all the 
devastation 
just as 
everyone forgets 
and things 
go back 
they take me 
tie me , drag me 

my torture just 
was never written 

this crown like all 
was put upon me 
drew my blood 
to drain the evil 

i just hope 
i said enough 
and didnt 
say too much 

whatever 
people are so soon 
to misremember 

only satan
could have saved me
from a complex
of his making

the drug nurse

screen door 
represent 
our symmetry 
our worlds collide 
duality 

no leaves 
left to fall 
for halloween 
next week 
but the bug spray 
still outside 
now frozen 
to the touch 

her eyes 
always look 
so over our heads 
as the sunrise fog 
descends 

sad nurse 
on the night bus 
ive seen ghosts 
who look 
like you . 

anyway 
the crow calls 
last crow on earth 
it seemed 
and how does 
grass 
stay short 
this half ? 

when did the sun 
cease to warm 
them ? 

bus ride 
back row window 
gazing 
best hour 
of her 
wistful nights 
as the grass 
stops growing 
glowing traffic 
stubborn 

the good 
you do 
wont go 
unnoticed 
and jesus loves you ! 

for you 
he made 
the sky 
a screen 
that always shows 
a pretty picture 

peak through 
side door 
cracked panes 
dirty from the rain 
last summer 
mix your mug 
your coffee cup 

is there more 
to this 
screen door 
and should 
you leave 
the latch 
unlocked ? 

unlocked 
with all 
infective evil 
swirling 
you packed 
your peace 
your patience 
whered you learn ? 
it was not 
in your 
nurses training .

lonely teacher

the sun sets
somewhere
behind your
cement statues
cherubs

what can you
learn
lonely late life ?

teach me ,
teach me

collected
so many ferns
so many pots
now they sit outside
their classroom past

the sun sets
somewhere
behind those
houseplants

decades of
postered thoughts ..
egypt is out there
undiscovered
by forsaken

explored
your other life
of learning
in your daydreams

late night
so thankful for
your cats that
have their
own lives

beautiful
who lived to
teach

you are not
so forgotten
as it seems

blue paint memoirs

dark and dirty
collapsing
out of the way
to paint that blue
for you
who pass through
to the bathroom
scrap paint saved
dyed bright sky
white clouds nine
dabbed white
with a bag
crumpled

every lowly passer
thought twice
thats art

this is my memory
that was my blood

frog tears

mocha stains 
kitchen blues 
my sugar jar 
is down to grains 
sticking 

week of slow 
and humid days 
before it rained 
this morning 

and as it gave 
i broke 
to tears 
today 
the frogs 
and i
