OLD FAMILIAR WAYS

i cut myself today

upon the thought of
when it is darkest(and
i look up in fear

who sees the reaper,
in drag: it comes to
all of us disguised)

like old familiar ways
so thin like the moon
on waxing days

and the world beats
some say in your head
of course we’ve lived

with how we cling to
our minds  always
sharpest when comes fear

until i feel the familiar
sting that remembers everything
the purple flower’s largest

final air
is what we become my dearest
friend     internal eternal
plunging everywhere untold
times
of enormous lost dreams

IF I SHOULD FALL(INGLY) STUMBLE

IF i should fall(ingly) stumble
and reach my face against life
let me kiss that spot which
met my lips and refrain from
screaming: the pain, oh!  the
pain of stumbling through life!

TO HAVE SEEN THE PATH BEYOND THE VEIL, APPREHENSIVELY

TO have seen the path beyond the veil, apprehensively
somewhere I have walked, the promise within those eyes
of you and their silence:  the strongest-frail wish
by pursed lips of gesture are things that invite me,
but as perfect as a star too far to have ever touched

and intellect and that beauty and richest soul tells me
you can easily unclose me like the sun to a rose whose
petals are saved by a grand presence of golden light
that if, by chance, my heart has not already made flight
toward the sun in all my delirious wishful needs!

but if (which is a big sounding word “IF”) we choose
to be together like space and time which if i were
that rose would beautifully invite entwined meaning
:to include love — which glues all the scattering
unimaginable pieces of all things into one

i would wish and might and say and sing:

“Marigold!  Marigold!  What richest color that touches
me and my soul!”

IF LOVE IS UNDERSTOOD

IN the large light of
a loving tongue
and gold is pink lips,
so understood!
i am so construed
by the gallop of
my beating heart ||
and if you understand
conjugated by two souls
of mine and yours
and it’s love within
the hands of a sudden
fastidious expressive
explosion, it’s understood
and while this
Everywhere and Thing
i hold close to me
to comprehend the
innocently doomed
o my love oh if you
never ask me why i
never say goodbye to you
(so understood) she’s
everywhere with-where i am
and if love is understood

TO KNOW ONE’S SELF SUPERB

i must say the words
are hungry always
looking for a home
either paper or heart
is all the same!
and if life gives you
a face and you
another — i say
be both and not
one other!
Life is temporary
but heaven and hell
well, are always
hungry for a poet!

ANIMATED MANNEQUIN

Flash-frame movement the Almost believing
simulacrum-life animated mannequin

who I loved      whose hand touched mine :

a cold touch and on the road all these
(i, trapped inside the skull)
saw these almost unreal things behind their wheels
moving toward something like thousands of gallons of Vaseline 
pouring over humanity                            (for a while, you could see…)
so atrophied and consumed by these animated apostrophes
and i spoke but they did not feel: i stuffed my heart
back inside the slit of my vaginal heart — there’s a
crab’s eye at the end of it’s stalk!

A GRAVESTONE SITS UPON MY HEAD

A living soul gave me a message
today:

“You are remembered within your grave”

and i should reply:

“the biggest fire is before sunset
when families reside upon
a wooden table to fest in life”

And i should cease to breath a terrible
whistle sound by six pm
and (thank you Emily)

“No Coward Soul Is Mine!”

A SUN SO BLACK

i AM when the tired day begins
to frail and no thing more:
but writing words!
to see words crawl upon
the knee of me
as spiders with bright
painted talons upon their
legs: i am no one in a
position to relent
this part of horror: and then
sometimes pure love ~~
the town bell sparks sound
whose grave i have already
dug and slept within!
a heart i held within chest
and gave opportunity to love
and now the darkness becomes
a sun so black i am thankful
to finally be home!

DO NOT ASK ME OF LOVE OR LIFE

sun
is a kiss
and Soul
a wish
whose lips are fire)

lay before life
dreams so fragile
to the ground
and music:
poetry comes alive!

screaming tired winds of doves
so brightly against fearful life
when death comes
it is a friend!

WHERE I LOOKED I SAW THE BIRTH

if once by large time and C H A N CE
supposing i  dreamed this) and like
more than feelings,,,when day has
POWER-CHORDS the sea of wishful crowds
of lonely masses! i ask please bring
your friends and be so self-assured
and walls of pseudo-life shall not
reckon how you and yours are along the
way to dust — Nations and Souls
fall when the center has weakened
and personal wonderful dreams are
not a guess! all life will flower!
and laugh-sparkle from!
  like cats chasing mice
like men chasing women
like pissed off society
Hench the rotten core
of putrid policy
DC is an aborted fetus
we’re so raped and pregnant
and we find it hard to love
the evil within our womb
