dawning of day--bridge me the sequel
and say nothing of memory--
hard stones looking back
into foreign affairs--where's the knife point?!
searching through the air
words tumble blood to bare
the sequence fumbles through like this:
noThing to bother the bitter left outside
the door opened looking for
bright colored evening song and boy lines drawn in the sky
silhouette my song and feel it like pride
in the lungs breathing deep the night and the day the dawn until
park stories bring us back to earth and we feel like light on the skin
no turn
rounding the corner of earth or growing
up and out
became present
and sudden
a godless warning
caught
on the stage, flood lights, dragged from the porch and her death--
child--
is great--yet still means noThing next to universe
rocked by the poor pitter-patter of left-behind-future
bleak blank and drunk on the street
unless
some pick-me-up shoulder shrug can bring her out
out of time and shell
noon day spells, sun on the skin makes one think again
of rosters--foster the cost of living
shown blatant and bare--the face (off) laughing
sagging is the sense of movement
where is here and how did it come to be?
i normally see these things
well in advance
instead looking to the radio gods to send a sign
what way to leave this benign existence
looking for fever--progressive strife
sound by life
it is breath and lips and sweat
concrete scores rocked by a dancing floor
deliver the couch with great austerity
bring to my mind
accept the rest as unavoidable
and affordable death
alternative to the rest (consumption and burning)
hypocrisy learning
single out the lined figured in the corner
a lone
glacier serving solitude and wrecking the scape
keeping noThing not even herself safe

the great voice of reason
drowning in escalating treason
elephant in the room
bone white ebony sin
singing about irony
her majesty
blond hair twirling round
slender finger
wrapping
warring against dignity
great beyond measured
in time hearing how seconds are formed
missed communication
step back into the pink tingling night to know children
and their madness
venerable world
salvation is chance
and memory is everything
keep me company twilight
sinister night
drunken escapade
into strife--strangers hold secrets
held in posture
pinnacle alter--bow down
blow me westward
singing about silk and secrets

looking askance
pale nervous laugh

where horses are not broken

was all she wished
upon nothing her ground--imaginary
plight--
exodus to fantastical future
where running and WILL
returned
to usher in another time
less stricken by the weight of day

white washed illness
stalled plows in the field
river bones mixed--
wash out to sea
whose salt
is sweat filled
teary night--
stripped ashy trees
stand unashamed
skinny naked trees
gesturing to bald sky
bald sky bares witness
to our embarrassment
as we grow
mute
and shy--
the heavens do not know pity
brothers and sisters
circular nature
company and split self
wetlands, coast, drying fields
fertile
rusty plow oiled slick and new
the corn is high and blue ------ while
history is made in backyards
urban slews, rooftops, alleys, near the silo
behind the brush fire, in the kitchen,
on the street
mingled with place
and people
stories are being told
borrowed time
walls
lots of walls
bricked up ------ plastered
coated and invisible
like birds in tree tops
birds in tree tops with their
invisible hanging houses
searching for the morning
the morning and sound
the salty sea
north
the south sweat
river
muddy and sensuous
the bones of stories
silos and plows
noise, morning noise
and mist
mist covering--a blanket over tilled land

dramatic thought/untitled sketch
carry me to your chagrin
ferry me
dead weight eyes
cause (effect) a stirring
every thing lost
to crows kneeling sideways
against the snow
pecking bones
bare branched homes
sketching gestures to the sky
broken contour
too thick laid on its side
scratching a hole in memory
picking out the stones
praising all great mothers
wishing for the womb
sacrifice, arms
unaided cleft chest
pressed against safety
deft we deliver silence
absence
crossed legs
hanging breath
our own untimely living deaths

hanging breath
our own untimely living deaths
like when a space is clear cut for growing but then is forgotten and wild things begin to take over again
it is
hard to let go
of names
when naming
is everything
and more
working searching
for integral
connect
ruination
of self
of WILL
of bravery-
standing only as a front
for more sophisticated fears
that cleared the path for greater sins
like remembering
stretched out
ephemeral past without hard edges
what strange contrast she holds!!
time is not a divine right
it is only
until it is not
to say--
what sad stories we live
full of bright beautiful change

Fox--Part I
speaking from a distance
knowing no other option
only
water --- blue and tied to solitude
meaning found
in cadence
subtleties
restless fevers shivering sweat tossed in damp sheets
speak to me
this holding of tongues is madness
against history
against certain stories

Fox--Part II
the fox burrows deep
digging two exits
knowing entrance is easy
but to leave
to leave is a universal matter
tied to Great Things
like survival
necessity
the fox knows sound
whispering when to retreat
yet even instinct is compromised
as curiosity often weighs more
than danger
and sense

laid waste---stream
god must have laid waste to us o' so long ago. before the busy streets with yellow paint and tar before broken alleys and bricked buildings. before thick combs of people mashed together on sidewalks god must have laid waste. god must have laid waste to us long before flickering screens and wires with electric impulse and plastic bags with handles. god must have laid waste to us before planes could crash and before we thought dead earth buried black was any good to us. god must have been so mad to lay waste to us even before johnny apple seed and cannon fodder and domestic pigs. god must have laid waste to us o' so long ago. before stucco and the invention of saws for cutting down trees before we lost sight that trees share the same fate as us, before hygiene and fire god must have laid waste to the little souls rocking back and forth in tight caves with sand in them and with cold found foraged food below them. god must have laid waste to us crimson red with all kinds of glory and light and must have thought about dogs while laying waste to us. god must have thought about dogs and laid waste to us with panache and flair and a sense of fashion. yeah, god's got fashion and style and sense and panache. god's got it all under control from the tiny tunnels dug feverishly by ants to the tiny tunnels dug feverishly by us gods got style and panache. when god laid waste to us, i bet there was probably glitter everywhere, the kind that gets stuck to the cheek and glitters in the right light. yeah, there was definitely glitter when the waste laying was happening

ripped by novelty-------
familiar fate
go fuck yourself-------
and eat this pain
pushing forward through WILL.
the terrible force of WILL.
coming under severed breath
the degree to which bravery falters
swinging her hips
she alters
and fate smiles at irony while kneeling
down giving head to undiminshed universe
keeping stride --- ooooh ---- our pitiful curse
dreams deafened by birth (of new
while the wet earth denies sensuous touch
keeping distance between us
down
DOWN to the ground with our angst and sound----
looking like hawks
WHERE ARE THE CLIFFS
searching to avoid this rift
chasm
fathom and breeze. WILL.
where is WILL.
only hallways blue and stretched
with too many knee prints and knuckle prints
tasting of salt
as hands grope for darkening ways to cope

be equivocal truth
tipping on the edge of tongue
well-spring-forth
to be one greatness
muscles taunt
a tight breath with foreplay--life's trailer
a king's riches spilled naked on the floor
think world-self
masters of the desert
whose Valkyrie is shield against the storm
an ancient war waged against unsettled risks
calculate hypocrisy and feign surprise
unfolded pattern mocks history
sayen' 'see you soon babe. you like it when i lie'

little stone
little stone in my belly
feed me something good--
devour clarity no more!
sinister little stonethe rest of time is passing
greedy in my belly--
alert
aware
stretched out
no room for truth in these walls
only comforting stories about how it wouldn't work anyways--
all the 'what if's' still trailing long and hard behind--
hard to force down but settles nicely after it goes
little stone in my belly
how long will you be here?--
what if it floods and too much water is swallowed?
no--
i think you are here to stay
company
weight
a tight hard memory in my belly

sing a song of trepidation
of l e a v I n g
to know peace in forgetting—forging an angry bond
between memory and wish
believe me when i say—
noThing can be done
in the name of good will nor love
except
stepping on (sensitive) toes and messages that say
k(no)w one gets the real words being said—
an abstract way of holding-on
and shutting-down
holding hands with fake miracles fucking apologizes backstage
cramping my style like always while
waiting for you—yes you—to subside
into distant faint background noise

sea story
our ocean muscles develop slowly
while telling secrets to the wind---
like how metaphors grow into years and become big--
telling us to be better
and to be kind
the salt like old pain--the earth knew we were coming
and cried love
as well as dread
and spoke often to the moon about what to do
while softly pulling up to the shore
rolling in and out of context
mixing sand and stone
knowing many bones would be there soon
what is prayer? said the ocean--
wishful thinking. said the moon--
often the ocean wished--or prayed--
for a great lover
to crack open the black night sky
spilling messy light everywhere to say 'i know i love you
because it's you and secrets are what we do best'
but the ocean knew
even with the light laying across her surface
she was bound to the earth--
it was the questions that sent earthquakes
across her dark depths
capsized boats and turned towns--
will you tidal up to these aching bones
roving eyes
to speak truth
while standing stock still
at the edge of tide?
will you spill your fishy secrets
like an accident over goosebumped bodies
lying prostrate on the sands?
the ocean knows
the excess of our excuse--
soft skin
and buried letters
the ocean knows not to believe in shame
the color of silver and blue

think life
contagious output
the porous sinking-in of not knowing
(infatuated with struggle)
time bandits steal clocks for fun--
laugh with great mirth
gusto--
chilling salt in the freezer
an experiment with later--
wonder if we could make the ocean in the bathtub
with little fish and weeds and oil
predator and prey

stay
long spider night
shimmer into spectacle (take on the angry world)
to silence
those malnourished thinkers
who feed muddy rivers lies of freedom
knowing dams exist (and man)
who said the word love
couldn't hold meaning in a room
full of people
didn't know coal mines--
never felt the saviors hand
against mine
but the breast of grace
and her fell song on wicked ears
knowing isolation
grieving staccato sob poetry
and dinner in the alley with crying
cats slinking against bereaved dark

untitled pause--meditated stream
burning--a candle in the wind
gone mad to stay alive
sucking oxygen (pause) burnt air (pause)
fighting back the night--fierce intelligence
even as foundations melt
drip drip drip
all the way home (pause)
spoke of dewy dreams (pause)
black forest feed me dinner
deliver sinners from eternal drought
what is this metaphor but a whimsy collection of regret (pause)
or perhaps--(pause)
a syndicate to recollection (pause)
reedy summer gave hints to nostalgia and fought off cicadas
singing and burning in the night
mere shells in the hot morning sun (pause)
we were lovers shelved
and knowing a poem for that one isn't worth the letters or breath (pause)
any
more than the next one coming up
unearth scripture and eat the bones of yesterday (pause)
left
over glacier--carve me a river (pause)
the splintered sky will give rise to a boat to sail
a
way on (pause)
keeping abreast of the latest trends (pause)
on how best to set the mast (pause)
drink liquor from her tributary
the great mother is aroused as she
lets out to sea (pause)
her river veins run thick with debris
and need the salt of open space (pause)
forging pacts beneath the sands
hour glass thin
our persons core out circumstance (pause)
deliver tendencies (pause)
and speak foreign face to lady mundane
(pause)

follow me
lady face
to a space clean of debris
marked -- the surface scratched
with footsteps of folly

shelved love--

hiatus
running crime
hot paved road tarred
feathers flocking separation
the goat sack ninny escapes down angry mob shoots --- persecuted for spewing garbage-
truth --- easing violent faith out of the ground
to say --- trust in me and i in you no matter what you see me do*
devastation
collapse
ergonomics and destination
where is spine/ and pride
talking hope to the homeless living in big houses
heart and mind a far cry from spiritual reprise
ticking time--the tattooed wrist
numbering the impact of external light--the lives of those shinning individuals
action is direct motion
action is motion
action is
action
act
a sudden notion

last night
nostalgic stake through the heart found
a photograph of a familiar hangover
in the back pocket of last night
wake up with a stranger and call her Memory
side swiped on the front stoop
by Regret whose job peels back your skin to
exposure
and romance
a fit of fleeting sight
the lust
a sort of extension of tendons
tremors and touch
determine self-worth
in a dark cove -- a pub
with dark beer
scant light to conceal the deal
with devils and angels
lets be renegade pedestrians--
an alternative to driving

we are time ticking out of sink
ticking away
all our rounds spent on the same ---- ticking ---- numbers
the face without eyes
ruling--we must abide
closing in--our sin--
against sin--the clock keeps track
don't ever go back--its says--broken jointed
a flood of envy at it's pronounced unbeginning
constant
in the clocks stride
our ruined nation led by goodbyes at the sun
as it raises questions lighter than the questions that the clock raises
repetition spells life
spells the rounded cell we divide around
the single celled clock
stronger than heart and gray hair brittle bones
the clock a syndicate to linear movement
hater of intervention
enemy of the divine

thinking about beats
the beat generation--relic from a hard boiled past
a past moving fast where the task of crossing the country came easy--
the veins of black paved road opened wide
made room for wild eyed drive--our - - - - destinations
destitute prophets counterfeit angles behind the wheel
the smell of sweat worn leather and gas leaking
oil on the road mixed with slick ideas about the future
turmoil a moot point.
the gritty soles of people passing out abstract concepts
scribbled feverishly on paper napkins
over coffee
eggs over easy
west coast dinners spelled 'meeting point'
take-offs and landings timothy leary a fly-by-god
distributing my spiritual awakening--
can't make it tonight--
hitch a ride with a strangers eye
unwind into future till we're looking back
at the marches--the sacrifice of martyrs--characters lost found now only in words
pressed tight on ten cent bookshelves--
kerouac was right
give me a candle in the night--the mad ones are for me
open up your mind with a k e yed moment--
caution? oh . . . we tied it up to the old tree stump in the back yard
don't worry we left it plenty of water and grub--
now run
even if its raining and the sidewalks spell murder
run until your lungs feel thin and your legs spell taunt
and your faith costs less than a pack of cigarettes
keep moving until your gut feels shot and your brain is speeding down a highway at
85 mph
like that time you did cocaine in the gas station bathroom
with that girl you met in the bar next door
while dancing twirling crazy with all those cats
all those jazz cats speaking smoke and blowing notes
keep running until you're flung forward into remembering that its all gone
every moment
every seed
every soldier and civilian since gone to death's deed
don't stop--not till you drop
to ask how much has really changed (in all these years gone by)
except to say hitch hiking is now a dangerous game
and all the cats have now gone crazy
not the kind of beatnik crazy
more like danger danger crazy
rudimentary communion--hospitality--and handshakes are subject to suspicion
while free rides have all gone awry
whose blood runs in the veins of this country?--the people liberated and free
or a population full of the destitute and diseased
where are the angles that once drove like mad dark figures through the night
where are the cats who jumped souls loud like a moody ambush filtering into
the skin to dance us into the night
what generation now tickets across the country knotting us together
sewing a fabric of unseen history around sweating excited necks

old fire
in the space
between silence and goodbye
i pressed you
against a wall
parting your closure
_____________________
thinking it haiku
a violent surrender evoked shuddering change
miscommunication--pale thigh sweats
and talk of courage
our brave misdemeanors echo
assured state of self--
the gravity of regret
we are wave open ended question and answer
born in a brothel of cool light made warm
by demand
our demand -- popular and unrelenting
sweet jazz voice vocal in her ear
and the spirit has got me
taken me away to swing sing of essence
parting closure
warm breath against the wall
trailing off sense
silence and goodbye

Bail Out Package
we are here
we are here
we are here
and we are now
pick up trouble and speak
of summits
to pass to keep
prevent hurt
riot protest and die by belief
closure is a four letter word spelled
n
e
v
a
cause we are the
blessed middle class and broken backs are a gift from above
though from the eternal watchers i doubt
more like penthouse clout
letting the change trickle down
pennies in our cup
jangle it around -- here the patriotic sound
like heavens bells armed with the smell of fed up
and you wanna see tough enough?
hear us speak
hear us speak
hear us speak
on a never ending seek turn around beat
drop down ground
grinding out the sound of weekly days paydays seldom bring a raise
in spirit a rise in time
unequivocal resistance
meet me at the door
for word war
about too much forefathers with their skin hanging loose
and their belt buckles already undone
shun--
mothers! reach out with your self entirely- palms up raised
your fists ready to praise the first disrespect showing an ugly face
hit the dial and call 4357 a coded number
to speak to sisters
to live by sisters
in code
to die by a code of
credence
probability and self response-ability
to discern truth from fact
don't give a shit?!
motherfucker you are jacked--
tacked against a wall
tanned hide burned sides waiting for vultures
a miss guided culture---
too busy with picket line pro-life
just to give a young woman even more strife--
this tide all bent over for capital praise buy more to save
when nuclear warheads can wipe us out in less than a day
so you tell me jack--
who you gonna trust to hold your hand?
when times get rough cut told to shut up
those with a lord above to guide this war
or those with sense given by a goddesses grace
that set a path of peace to taste?
you tell me -- jack--
coast to coast -- liven in a country going to the sac--
a hundred trillion billion gazillion dollars to bail us back--
is it a goal?
do we really want to go?
a countries shame wearing nice ties and a suit
a yacht with a set of crystals-- uneducated children with pistols
foreign policy--the berlin wall set down in texas
drug cartels with high-as-a-kite americans parading around
shaking their fingers at the nasty gun wars--
where's the man in the phone booth?
collecting kick backs somewhere i suppose
no-
you ought to know jack--
not to go back

loose thought about conservative people
strung out connection
to write of glory
or mystery
the conflict
vengeance
and reprieve
the sound of sleep
mercy and abstract law
again a man with a gun
opinions falter in grace's face
her satiated fate mottled by
s i n
current electric steals my strings
to play reaching hands
palms and story--the account of one woman
on one corner
in a city
somewhere
with air and soot in her lungs
optical hypocrisy--illusion democracy
affect sound
effect and get feet moving walking stomping and turning the ground
into protest
civil right
human right
a glorious stampede of reason--logic--education intelligentsia
loose tongues mark the direction
where crows fly
migrate difference
make it real
symbol and verse--closed path retreat backspace delete
appropriate words
dig into the earth
close your fist around it--raise it high
feel the cinema of our own drama
insipid insight
our radioed heads
uptight belief
vehement conviction
drop this s i n by the way side
nothing to die by
except ones sound (for good
stilted legs tread careful
extend hands to lift not to rift
and become impact
ill defined
complex
an altered arrangement of syntax

glacial inside --- the wealth of childhood
peeking so forgotten above adult waters
where are we now? without remembrance—
are we holy
or are we the dredges of life on this round bulging planet—
below the surface
small self and personal history linger
waiting for connection
retreat back into young self
where image was really a welding hat and stick—
a night in shinning armor holding sword high
where gravel met sand and became
a mountain meeting the desert—the woods a broad jungle
with leafy muddy moist adventures—the kind where all the hollywood movies rear
their ugly heads
where a dog barking chases you through deep forest and across open fields
now become a pack of wild wolves
remember the bare patch of earth surrounded by green cut grass
and hay bales breaking the rising sun—
look earnest
look deep
for memory treasure—let it flow like the willows and smoke fires
try hard to remember the scent of aftershave and flannel
shinny buttons and buckle
and don’t forget the games smeared in ketchup and kid dirt
remember your first death
and how quiet the snow blanketed her arrival
as summer ushered in peaches—soft mounds and flesh
peeking so forgotten above adult waters
where are we now? without remembrance—
are we holy
or are we the dredges of life on this round bulging planet—

Education #1
the sound quality is very crappy. i think because of the compression and file conversion 3x's over but it's the only way I can figure out how to post audio without going through an annoying hosting site.
Education #1
eyed witness
many things left incomplete pleating with ill company
social construct leavings
and the board of higher education vacationing
our
permanent placement on the plank walking knife point at our backs
and red tape
red tape fluttering in the stomachs of the recently (re)possessed
the unemployed country having coffee on the sidewalked curb with an administration
who won't even give us a little head (way) for gain-way
self-save they say (their six digit salary buys them a lot of bread-expensive whiskey and wine
expendable children let in the desert
left
the classroom is five minute increments--a segway saluting no other choice--
paper trails and the smell of crayons colored wax and baby breath the last retreat
before possible future leaders are beat
black beat blue and the night is crying for mother when millions pray to it thinking it mother
to the
j
o
b
less scraping concrete pennies with broken nails hear this--
if your faith dropped in the good He's hands works--than fine--self-responsibility is a difficult fear barely overcome--
but if cop out faith leaves you broken legged in the road--then suck in your own air and leave it genderless
take choice steps based
on the natural ebb--any entity above beyond is probably too busy to worry about human hardships so small next to universes-
become fire
become a calm surface body of liquid
become all that you can be without the militant glee
set free
absolutes
to know
uncertainty is o k company

an account of racism rape and bridges
we asked for deliverance
directly from the mouth of man
and now sitting in the sand (quick like)
black hair standing like a black planet
with all her weight and dark skin
standing like a wall (between) us is history
a discord between the colors
the various hues of our skin clash
break understanding -- herstory chiseled into doing
blond hair moves as a reminder of
difference
hierarchy (a vague supposed-to-be privilege)
divulge female secrets
consideration of shared interest
unrest and repression
because cunts take abuse
and abasement has been a standing tradition
fist clench revenge red rage black skin white skin
tolerance is a damned river while acceptance empties into the mouth of the ocean
because we demanded
deliverance
directly from the mouth
of patriarchy
only to find that racism is still alive
and words like slut are still meant to slander
while women wear white and walk down isles (virginity sold a valuable commodity
were a tight train is a good train --- treat her like a sin is she speaks too loud
find out what's the best way for her to be bound
bounty rape --- a nations downfall --- mankind seals his fate
the scene escalates
Great Mother
alleviate humanities mistaken nature -- --- --- folly footsteps
repeated echo down times hall
we take our deliverance
to dump it in the mouth of man
and scream hypocrisy
we echo natures curve and peace
take long strides
relinquish the perimeters of our existence
talk full loud and viscous calm
walk full loud and viscous calm
live full loud and viscous calm
know need like blood
womb and lung
directly from the mouth of man
and now sitting in the sand (quick like)
black hair standing like a black planet

the last argument
you dump your thoughts in a puddle
on the front stoop
to vomit poetry all over the sidewalk--
all over the front lawn
discreetly using your skirt to clean up the mess
incident retrieved from memory where
we accidently touched
for a moment -- or two
before dashing headlong into oncoming traffic
gone now--
not even our shadows dancing
in the noonday sun
to keep me company
only the stained planks of wood
stretching across the warped framed porch
the grain running long ways
broken only by creeping-in plant life
a dark wet world residing underneath

chiseled sister
parts of the tree disappear
behind the dew
my stomach lurches for the viable
offerings of her (earth's) dark matter--
secrets buried -- inside bodies wombs evidence and insight
the artifacts of discarded (clothing) skin on the bed
where articles drift - recordings of old doings
going-ons and desperate beginnings - ends
draped over the chair
an old blanket telling stories with scent and collected hair
a cover of night sweats mares--
they say even bad dreams are products of women--
though maybe it is the strength of fear in centuries that bring us discomfort
the quietest moment of dark remembering
behind the dew

offerings of her (earth's) dark matter--

unadulterated synergies
the sizing up of absolutes--where--withered by asphalt and crime
destitute prodigies wear the orgies of beginnings and rise
like shackled maniacs preaching blood stone and bone
deliver sin on a platter with a bucket of gold and say you did wrong
by loving---her
and say you did wrong to leave family peace meals to walk alone--
but death is a cold companion in the garden wet with night and dew
while two selves battle
one serving bread
the other banshee blows--a promise of light and loose will reclined in propulsion
expulsion from the garden once feared yet overgrown
with comfort -- forgiveness
disenchanted youth! spring up from winter to know love
(it) traces circles around the body
a warm trail to touch--tattooed on memoryskin
chanting about made-up saviors and torn pages--
books drop from the bridge to float down stream
a vague understanding of
currents
sky
and deltas

respite
a bit taken from the dream drilled down
(a toast to) the mean marrow of bones
breaking
if consequence is delivered swift--than association and action connect
if slow to years of actions pass--consequence creeps like a steady quiet blood beat--
than what learning takes place?
perhaps reflection
a fixation
black holes roam the universe looking for milky time to stop-
action dropped
continued tear---stretching across---open up almond and slide inside
warm growth hugging my floor
and in the distant is an old sign 'familiar' and 'remember'
'this way to recycled happening'

a really fucking hard day at work
disrupt
blood vessel erupt
the changeling gels into her surroundings
while magic makes a getaway
calm on the crest of hammer swinging seething meeting
(that moment between bursts)
nail(ed to a tree
where a name carved (worn smooth--by weight)
once stood fleshed in silver -- edged and sharp
