LIFE AND DEATH

weird PEOPLE watching
defenseless dreaming
knowing my weakness
carefully retreating
I am just a piece
of angel meat wishing
to fall back into my
soft heaven birth trap
A perfect costly costume
high heels and gloss lips
but zombies love decay
and my heart is a dead
fish swimming when dead
I saw the salmon run
dead gill fish moving
Mother nature so cold
but your hug is warm
and tree and animal love
the strength you exude
Love me strong female
show us girls what to do
we bleed across horizons
and days and years too
ageless pain and suffer
for life and nature too

A GENTLE WOMAN

What rivers I cry
blue veins I swim
one upon your eye
backstroke into dreams
a vision burns there
and the angels blew
a kiss that moves
mountains and storks
baby breath paints
pink flamingos dance
a ghost in the closet
panhandled my pocket
i coughed up a heart
so bruised and purple
the medics applied candy
and sugar lips too
I’m crying!  Crying!
Madness dance geeks
and tortoise princess
A smell of summer dress
and that skin so ghost
Emily you ran away
before I was born
My joker – feminine spirit
I know where you are
ingrained within my soul

COSMOS

EACH soul
a cosmos
love-making
u n i v e r s e
kissing-licking
c r e a t i o n s
crying-dying
singing-laughing
an explosion
of expression
s u p e r n o v a
p a s s i o n !

THE BEST FRIEND EVER[lasting]

Pale Rider

DEATH.
That one friend which will never leave you
in good times or bad times — it will always
be there and will never forget you
And when you are having your shittiest day
and want to give up…well, it will embrace you!

SKIN SCRUBS

MY vat of bubble pain
submerged Pisces soap
and a razor sharp rope
too dull to do the job
My faucet [ran] dry of hope

I SMELLED

I smelled the most beautiful
ugly thought never giving
pause that thorn plus pill
oh, upon my cloud head branch
When does the death party
depart — at morning’s night
or midnight’s brilliant sun
Either way dear, count me in

TEETH

teeth that run
enamel roads
so hungry
looking for life
a piece of flesh
— to skin
but asphalt they bite
instead

my fear lonely traveler

by day we walk at night

— we sleep in haven

but teeth stay prowling

gashing and chomping

for a piece of my life

A HUNDRED POEMS – XXVII

that Knowing came today
in a casket it lay

a thing revealed   i say

that which lived

— now dead

that mystery of mysteries

live on —

in sun drenched skies

THE DEVIL HURTS

Run and hide and run and dodge

it’s a dance for love of life

this dance of survival born

from a tribe forgotten by time

 

and the song has no words

it was sang before words

and the devil and god

just a metaphor before

 

hell unleashed upon earth

and that fire and heaven

never gave it’s name now

and people sing and dance

 

flesh is more than word

and belief a bond of love

and family a gold vault

and we praise God his names

 

I will drop the devil below

below the names he gave us

and God rise above Skies

Let glory prevail in blue

 

i dropped the devil

dropped the devil

to his knees

and slay his neck

 

let blood paint me

it paints me a warrior

and i am at His service

YOU LIVE WITHIN ME

I went to an estate sale
and found the love of ages
and she was dead but alive
and my life fell into her

and I rode that drive
the rode of evermore
and the past became
it became my now

Your fashion so high
not like the plastic
those girls who think
a woman is a label

and I ride and walk
and walk and ride
and the road is long
and the end is never

I sang a song today
but the night claims
the words I sing tonight
and the day weeps now

I say, “so la la la la”
and the devils cry
and the angels bow

tonight we ride ages
and time is ours girl
and from dirt to flesh
tonight a breath for you
