A TINY SLICE
a tiny slice
of quietness
–just a slither
upon my plate
–too small
for most to see
is all i need
that my soul
and spirit
requires.

SUSHI said salad-tary times
start bleeding tears
sushi fist-cup bloody-maries
Re[sweet]treating all the words
So sushi said;but i have a meal
and raw fish never jump
when i eat it Dead and Cold.

WHEN NAKED YOU ARE SMOOTH
“WHEN naked,
you are so smooth,”
said the brook with many stones.
So chirped the sparrows
and roared the bears!
Then the skies spoke, “pitter-patter,”
as drops of stones upon my hands.
What I’d like to see: a trickle of
sweetness like the rain upon the
smooth curves of my lover’s heart.
If we settle down we must prepare
a feast for gargantuan fears
Lest we men and women be alone
upon the beaches, sitting
and shifting their gazes with hands
upon the sea’s clouds or the quietness!

THE EXPANSIVE UNKNOWN
MY feet are wasted —
i have relieved myself
upon them.
In powder-blue
all my gross innocence
pulls back the dreams
of my youthful days.
My youthful dreams
that i knew —
close the crypt
upon the somber skies!
The expansive unknown —
always be! That we all
can dream a dream!

ENIGMA CALLED LIFE
THAT no word shall suffice
for the blood clot within
my throat!
That no sigh is deep enough
to bring me back to life
today!
The inventory i have taken
of my own life,
reveals i am short!
That i need that ocean
to teach me
That deepest pain to
show me
That life is both pain
and love
That life is gain
and lost
That we are all the same:
drowning in smiles
of a cauldron unknown!

C O N V O L U T I O N
i EXPANDED this line between space and time
(and) time and space between lines EXPANDED i
So funny how life circles into balls of light
(and light balls into circles — life, funny-SO!
Madness i see in such visionary sight!
(and) sight, visionary! Such “in-see” i — Madness!
There, i take my leave as the white coats are coming
(and) coming are coats — white || leave! Take i —
There!

AND if the lost made their return
from soil to land and within
your life
would you — could you — accept
them back
From death to dust and an urn?
Surely first the shock and disbelief
maybe a hug if you dared — could you?
And all the adjustments you made —
evaporate!
The new lover, what say to them —
who replaced the gaping hole
within your heart?
A new baby but not from him —
what then?
the possibilities of a Return, some sweet
but mostly a hidden poison — you think
secretly.
But in the end (their end) sprang
a new possibility!
You live your life as best you can.
Especially when a lost is much to bear
and you pray — leave the lost
within the ground
…sweet love sleep sweetly unto the Light!

SUNBAKED SIDEWALK
It was there
within a crack
of a sunbaked sidewalk
–a beaten trampled upon path
that i placed my brittle soul
within a gritty soiled ground.
Passerby, your foot so close
to the fractured light —
i see your sole but lost my own
soul.
Is the reason why i choose
that the thumb of rule is to be
that i watch the walkers
–>leaving me.
