Nothing changes the condition: dormant sooted desertion

When a violet peeling shows teeth glowing,

horizons fleeing, lilacs swaying

A sublime wander through summer fire

The char the ash the cough the roar



I question the reason for the freedom in unfeeling

I question the reason in this furnace of revealing



Salvage the illusion of once mint gardens

Before a violet peeling showed teeth glowing,

horizons fleeing, lilacs swaying

When it takes you, you'll be remembered

young and kind for all time



I question the reason for the freedom in unfeeling

I question the reason in this furnace of revealing



All my reasons gone



Flooded with raining

Levees are breaking

Houses are bursting

Sisters are sleeping



Yearning for touch but it's all too much

In blur, father
glanced over stirred
Imagined you laughing
Muddied feet dancing
What is this aching prism?
This prison wincing
Receiving sudden swaths of dogma

Wandering over royal yonder
Wandering over flooded ground again

What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
What does daylight look like?
Solitude and falling into respites now

In blur, hovered
Accepted devotion
Unearther, bleeding ark of creation…

Who are you now?

Forgive the trembling love,
I'm weak and acting bold
and alone

Quiet as a cradle,

I laid in a middle night drift, spinning

Hissed at the moon

Conjured up the flowers

to fix my impression of the gloom



I feel them all

Great mass of color

flooded in my bed

I feel them all

Great mass of color

flooded in my bed

Dissolving into red



Half awake holding my ghost in the morning

Sunlight coming down the bend

Maroon sky on the send

My great former terror

When trees gave doves the leaves

and I was grim drunk death—

a stranger to myself



I feel them all

Great mass of color

flooding in my bed

I feel them all

Great mass of color

flooding in my bed

Dissolving into red



Can I accept I'm real?



Do I need this affection? Do you?

Do you need this confusion? Do you?

Living trapped inside this body

Soft, haunted, waiting, wanting

Measured change evades real healing

Taking love with little reason

Seeing you as I was: behind a locked door,

nervous and a fool

Seeing you as I was: desperate for men to guide you



You are the sea and nobody owns you

Frigid bedroom capture in a Spring without desire

Harvesting brightness despite

drawn to the heat, not the light



I lay steady

Stare at the ceiling waking fears of nothing

You lament for wasps

You glow cobalt

in the home of the friendless



Another night spent fussing,

feasting like the lords,

laughing at the fronting,

singing to the chords of Hell imagined



In this perfect hour

Gasping in a sleepless kneel

Holding onto gleaming teal



I lay steady

Stare at the ceiling waking fears of nothing

You lament for wasps

You glow cobalt

in the home of the friendless



Another night spent fussing,

feasting like the lords,

laughing at the fronting,

singing to the chords of Hell imagined



Lament for wasps

Cobalt blue

Once again this color sees an end

A cold floor fit for you

in all your midnight itching

No one coming quickly to

save you from the After

Hurried with the hounds now



He's my own

Eclipsing my love,

his rottweiler sermon

He's my own

Driving the talons,

my own villain rising



30 months I'm still asking

if 30 months feels strong

30 months I'm seeking

a 30 months' fortune

Inform my mother's people

30 months is war

dealing with the blood of

30 years well worn

Eclipsing my love,

his rottweiler sermon

He's my own

Driving the talons,

my own villain rising

Buried secrets
Mythic meanings
in tender oceans spilling crimson
A leaking thimble flowing fragile
Oozing tension into blue

Hear these howls hurling our present
I know what this costs us
Hear these howls
Embrace the gnashing
I know what this costs us
I know it's exhausting you

Without you, I am hushed
A hush like cloaking garments over shivers
In this honeyed season,
why are the boys bleeding?
Have your tears touched someone's eyes tonight?

Now I see you're weeping with reason

In dreams speaking

Held you closely

Fed on lightning



How could you see beacons shining in the shallow?

How could you know relief while sinking to

mirages out of view?



Crawl and wander

Tears to water

Growing this garden alone



How could you see beacons shining in the shallow?

How could you know relief while sinking to

mirages out of view?

Blues and golds—

jewels for Heaven knows

I know I hear the sound

Imagine loving you

at funerals for the few



Navel gazing birds escaping

before the quake comes crashing

Waiting in the light to die



Bound wet legs splayed for the heat wave

Stranded naked on the sandbar,

echoed from the stars

Neon sea snake

cemetery roaming under dusk



Doberman visions

You're undressing—

mute and bleary



Hillside castles baking down to sand



Shamed red Chopin

plays awful sounds from the dresser

Nurses hands carving in slate

hummingbird gestures



Sleeping in nectar

Teething on freedom



The hospital bed filled with your apathy

In a haze of heat, a father hums his tragic song

Before the cold sees its ceremony in your icy eyes,

the daybreak glance given



Travel now

Where they can't let you down

Where you can't fail them now
