pleasure tension

Dreamt of giant pulsing veins,

underground.

and museums in Paris.

Whitewashed buildings, and a grey sky.

Blankets strewn, dark blue, woven at your feet.

And your arms to the clouds, pulling moisture from your hands.

It propelled, and expanded; a precipitation of pure white.

Falling across your face.

And therefore spun unraveled crumpled papers, into motion:

years achieved and yet I entered, held, and transformed.

I believe you increased, since I did. Generally, there are red skies.

Bones crumbling, and I am unaware of the implications of these dream sequences.

How they glimpse into rushing time.

I whispered that armies of chaos will stumble into their assigned places, underground.

All will then realize: silence is the most effective lullaby.

a raised line

Hand me your breath,

and your curled hair in mid-winter

down by the harbor,

and

I can see black shimmer through almost-opaque glass.

A single wavelength, and I find a second in

the orange sea.

And weave through me the lattice of your heart.

Stars descend,

and clap their molecules.

Noisily shatter,

create a fire-sky.

hurricane diptych

You were quivering, and it was August.
My feet tracing rippling water, in Muskegon,
and behind a coffeeshop, a history descends!
A remembrance- of forward moving motion,
and an exposure to a yellowing sun.
I can equate movements to rhythm,
but the flower I am waiting for has not yet descended
to your fragile, open hands.
-
Shouted loud to protect your name.
I find it hard to differentiate between structure and form.
Your redwood lips are tea-leaves,
my fingers graze over them, in the dark,
to find eternal meaning, or evidence of creation.

manuscript fog

Yesterday’s brilliant sunrise,
and today your heart turns to magma.
Glass melts to liquid, which hardens into stone.

I've fallen seventeen stories.
Woke up in a cathedral, in France,
under an in-situ ceiling.
Samuel said, “leave nothing to chance,” as if it were a person.
but no- it is a force: forks, twists, pulls together, and tugs apart, with no discernible reason.
Metal wedges against itself, but does not rupture.

The kaaba which we have been in worship to was fetched by Elijah,
bursting into a knot of neon flame.
A fragrant ascent, in Arabia.

Yesterday's brilliant menagerie
gives way to today’s cemetery
of desert-bones.

in woodlands, december

I have wrapped your arms in tin,
and with it, a certain eloquence.
He notices beauty, and I, transformative nature.
and terrific unholy material.
My inner spirit dwells in the natural environment;
I pulsate under stone bridges, in flight.
Body yearning to collide with spirit;
to exist in open landscape-
for knowledge to permeate its form.

Decay has no ideas of reference,
no planetary constraint.
It arrives and it flees,
from our re-opened eyes.

I fall below you in mid-morning,
as lightning stretches from your fingers to the sky.
And yes, if your mind extends and begins to wonder,
I do. I finally have my quiet satisfaction.

rushing to attend to discoveries.

until an orange light bursts beneath my skin,

i trail down mountain-turns, three sets of three:

and do be unnerved: Gaia is a dark, tumultuous place.

i found constellations painted on your back.

my lips stained of wine

from the cellar of your heart!

clouds congeal into a single terrestrial object;

flowing newness and a hard-earned obscurity.

falling between my fire-eyes.

but no distractions can pull us from our slumber

where music penetrates our physicalities

and herringbone patterns are etched into our skin.

we have wildflowers in our hair

and a spirit moves across the lake-

rebuilding skin;

hunters in July.

i have returned,

but not so fast, my hearth in daytime.

and maybe i have not sinned,

and maybe i have yet to become new!

amazed by rectangular, floating magnifier

and afraid of confrontation

there are two ages, and we are moving into a third.

and a third: love.

haven

How could a single, breathtaking blueprint

of a swirling river bring us back

to yesterday's acquired certainty?

and--- I realize I have esteemed you higher--

on a pixel-landscape in a flickering culture!

More integrated, and more afraid.

So may I stomp and stomp

and stay afraid?

And He- He who is buzzing in the empty

space between bodies quietly held my hand, and spoke:

"You, my quiet daughter, have a single harmony, split in two."

His splashing eyes are garlands of an altered consciousness!

Thank a most grateful God!I am biased, but

I might still hold innocence.

An innocence named Anthracite.

An ever-moving, floating thought transformed:

purple, twisting and turning above my praying hands.

What I have to wonder about is immaterial,

given the fact that your eyes are a bluish grey,

and not at all close to what I had expected.

Of course I have acquired different realms,

but my heart is in none of them.

Pollination

And the moss on the temple doors show

a silent awakening.

How I felt compassion for his damned son,

caught in the frequency of a transmission receiver.

Along the shores of the Amazon River and

running with him through

fields. There is no

coincidence that grain blows in

the same direction of our dreams.

No, not at all.

Replaced your feathered pillows,

because your body decays

in front of my clouded eyes.Yet,

I look to the sun and realize,

Your eyes are my eyes!

Where are you hiding in the wooden house?I worry for you,

and your thoughts.

But more, I worry for my self-satisfaction.

topiary

A gong sounds
and I am gone: seeping into the sand.
half changed to glass.
But your snow melts in my hands; secretly placed on a reflection, during shifting sunlights
to hear evidence of physical life.
Silence overtakes my eyelids
in the deepest night.
Stuck
in the dreams of a mothering form
who has no concern for my existence,
only the bones, angel, that you gave her, and the glittering skin that was cloned for her own.
