handwritten and perfect
a sloppy dong
oh I want to fuck so
goodnight I slept
and woke with diminished
negativity will it
diminish all the time?
making is when it hits me most
oh but its so beautiful
out here with the view
my vision many lines of writing
could not say
but maybe only one word could
fullness
the crocuses will rise
from salt baths left
from winter’s drifting
snow banks and ice banks
containing cracks
oh no no
that kill no other light green shoots
all in another life
where freedom is more apparently
less hid from our sights
our eyes not blind because
slavery never happened
the way they grow through us
tearing our flesh as they
tie and nourish us both
at the same time tying
and nourishing
and dumping putrid waste
like waves of shallow emotion
when really we are all
being played
paid out in dollars
queens shackled to their thrones
while husband
played politics games
over hot public lunch
make to take and make
it look effortless
all eyes on the one
the made maiden a holy blue
so vast she spoke
and could we listen if we tried
or do we all have
ear born myopia

lets be shrewd about the space we’re in
a comic force of forms
so that work may slip the source
and come tumbling through the door
a merry natured spinning force
linguistically proportioned to the words that're spilling fourth
lets be shrewd about the space created
sculpturally informed
adorned with shaking trembling ribbons
colorful extra shook and wagging
taken tasteful eye adoring looks
could gaze upon the tasteful forms
lets be shrewd about the space we’re in
the air within a netted force
of radiant energy cord and core
a sample dust of god's proclivity
to the trans-mutating form
assembled much unlike or real unlike
a planted row of corn
lets be shrewd about the space created
only to house a form
for a tautology can be played with
toyed with and like a kernel
can agitate the bog god ball
and pearlized a form is found is all

segue to form
taking pasting
cutting splicing
making masking tape
front and center in the composite
language languished
parts and particles

I can only imagine
a black yawning cavern
with a spherical blue sky
tinged with orange at the edges
sunrise or sunset
I don’t sometimes know the difference
the freshness of dawn though
a placid pond skimmed swiftly
by diving birds preying
on things unseen
I would let it all happen to me
spirits stalking on waves of metal

quiet eraser of lines

quiet eraser of lines
quiet eyes in heads of quiet guys
observe re running races he despise
could glorious tainted hour go by
word to the wise the winter hat
and jilted and stilted he sat
