Your eyes are
the atlantic sky,
the muse of Navigators,
the foundation of cities.
The Hair on Your head is
silk-scape sandit’s where the Land
meets the Sea.
Your Wit is keen and
it
burns
brighter than light aflame across the earth’s Canvas Noir.
Your omniscient profile

Remember where we used to go to smoke
cigarettes? I stand there now on moss covered rocks.
I see your eyes of sky glisten through the oaks.
Comfort smoke fills your mouth instead of talk.
We were love, burning plants amidst tree stalks.
Going home never worth missing you and the birds.
For t...
I reached into my closet,
Looking for a shirt I thought maybe had fallen.
I extended my appendage to the way way back wall…
Until my fingers were basically in the bathroom.
I pull out a top, thought
Not the piece I’m praying for.
I yank my baby blanket,
Pink like doublebubble chews, the...
Don’t consolidate the mother with money,
Simple fool.
Give her a raincoat.
You see, space smells damp
Because there is a tear in the sky.
The young Poet pierced with his pen the world’s canopy-
He’s a heron now.
A heron certain to be swallowed
By a hawk who flies higher,
Just as the P...
My dog gnaws at the bark.
My dog breaks bubbled limbs
at the expense of his mouth’s ridge.
When My Dog hustles
lower animals bustle.
Disconnected “D I P L O M A T” and
blunderer fit to burst.

My Dear,
does the breeze blow for us?
Turning turbines and giving sweaty children a memory?
Or does it blast in spite if us, ripping through our hearts as if
we are but a methanol crease on the pages of the records of its home?...
I perceive a place not far off
where school is for the few.
I observe an onslaught
in which the plight of pigs is noble and true.
I see a situation
that shrieks for revolution
number two...
In pond goes the peer
I see nothing extraordinary
Or handsome.
Throughout soul is search
I find nothing amazing
Or important.
I set work out for doing myself-
Hills remain to be scaled.
Collapsed lies master in my hands
I shout for a second, and begin to cry
High hat into my digit flies

broken down
at the base of the Body
facing a field
freshly frozen over.
it doesn’t matter
how high I heat my car
or how far I park;
the pronged pins
prick colder than oldness,
and the ibes’
innocent chatter
Shatters,
breaking bolder than so-called
Chosen souls.
