ARTIFACTS OF DEATH

what dullness!
the divine whisper
what coldness!
a death from life
into a Nothingness

the estate built!
and all the joy
the fear and pain
and knowing ways
released unto the wind!

sodden steps of fear
angelic whispers
and children’s tears!
pallbearer’s burden
to meet a hole!

and depth of sorrow
like running horses!
a fire o’ hearts
burning past memories
quickly — bury them!

all of my death
within that scar
of broken earth!
and the blanket
— mother earth!

WHEN DREAMS DROP

When dreams drop
suddenly

upon a tender
heart;      falling,
crashing, dying-ly
we know Death has come.
to see Love
perish is a stare
within the Eye
of God and mostly
the thing unspoken.
So better than a star
which falls from
heaven upon the Earth.
To burn quickly
provides no goodbye!

I AM SO THANKFULLY NOTHING

i am so thankfully
nothing; once
thinking more
than life was i!
but to walk steps
made of life;
a birth and ex-
pectations schooled
the temperament
of my elements
and now so freed!
and thankfully
i think no more
but live this life!

A HUNDRED POEMS – LXVI

I think today
i broke a word
in my ignorance
i did the deed
Within my garden
i stabbed with spade
upon a letter in damp soil,
lay the bee!  in my haste
i slay-She! and shouted
in thunder: “Oh!
It cannot, BEE!”

THE SOFT-SILKED SOULS

The weary seams of soft-silk souls
seem too loosened to visit my world
but they do.  And often by haunts,
their dreams become my own;  as
a sin unowned; rarely my feet walk
within God’s garden silently.

The uninvited adore my skin
and breathe especially at night.
As many intervals between life
and There, so too my awareness
of Them, those who with ghostly
sculptor-hands, turn heads
and minds too. It’s my words,
my word, too, They built the
bridge across which I now go
while I sleep reading the
dark book of the Beginning.

I, TOO, SHALL GO

AND where does
love go
When upon the last
ember of life
a lover sheds
her golden cord
and takes flight

I call you, sweet face
By day and not just night
and between the moments
where two knees do fall
And too, I go! There!
upon the waves of
eternal love

BEYOND A TINY DOOR

today i met death
beyond a tiny door
just a few steps
away from the dream
and you looked
through the window
i saw you scream
with your halo
dancing upon your head
i’m now home all alone
and brimstone sings

“she’s still alive,
all in white and you
the eternal darkness”

i sleep fitfully tonight
the worst part of days
but i play alongside
oh, yeah my fears
and i touch your skin
makes me shiver god
and why oh hell yeah
why am i still alive
hey, oh my, your halo
lights up the night
i’m just beyond
a tiny door

I HAVE SEEN THAT SUN OF YOU

i have seen that sun of you like
the light

(my heartMOTH drawn by warmth-fields
and honeyWORDS i hunger in eagerSoul…
…. .                       …
. .. . . ………………….*

the weak muscle (i never knew strength)
beating inside the castleChest breast
OF too many battles of courage
and weakness fell these walls of life

the stir is unutterably a broken wing

dreams of thrilling life never known
forever
my phantom feeling Fields

when summer is born
–in the mouth
where wet souls
kiss the body
of
love
should
we die

LIKE WHEN IT LIVED

I loved it when alive
and now so cold.
I crave it more,
to be contented
just like me;
if just a breath
it speaks i should
love it like
when it lived.
Until the grave
it buried lay,
in it’s dreams,
and all my tears
i have the key
to unlock the life
that lives in me.
It lives within
a drop of tear.
If I may have it
when it’s dead,
I crave it more
if it speaks.
I should love it
like when it lived.

THE HORIZONTAL FENCE

UNDER the silver-eyed moon
where it always hangs
it spoke by way of Monday
i saw upon the horizontal
fence the eyes of a cat
too, its eyes spoke
and three eyes now
upon my soul, counting me
— five in all
Soon the clouds had shut
the moon, meowed the cat
and skipped away
leaving me with two
i could watch Rome
with five but two —
too few for my to-night
But the cat exquisitely ran!
But not so elegantly the moon!
And me, two eyes two feet
two glazed, too stiff
where i always hang
