my fight or flight
face looks like
a jam packed
suitcase,
booked the red-eye
and got there an
hour late,
tho, judgin’ by
bloodlines in these
sunk eyes,
they’d best not
see me wait.

Sunny Moon in Bloom
ever hear mommy
moon whisper?
sounds like a sore throat
gargling melted
butter,
now the sun, he begins
like starter pistol
shooting off-
only, with a
smoker’s cough,
hello, good-day to you
Mister Gray, now
go piss-off..

secret
i saw you
longing,
longing to
find
man who’d
see you.

Smoke Ring Circus
a hopeful brand humility,
underused, long lost
and overdue,
a worship ceremony
for each wrong way
side street enemy,
and well, yeah
none of ’em
are you.
after all,
integrity worms its truth
all slippery thru
sedimental sludge-
straining veins
to part,
snakes writhe pipes
in collapsed tent
mind,
like panic spear’s
just split the
heart.

Goldelion
ma, melt us
bouillon gold,
til we gooey glow
outta body
mold
cross edges and
over ledges
under
funds and never trust
those trimming
hedges
bonsai, wept recovery
flecked by sun,
but pa, the banks
will come!
just let ’em,
son.

scatters
turmoil in white
trim,
stiff long before
bulb flashed,
a leer at hollow print
won’t unearth
sun,
past has still
passed.

feathers of fancy
the eye, a little shy?
shadow park
thank you,
for gutter car
parks,
and ghost kids
shimmering faint
to dark.
thank she who tickled me
lovely with a toss, her
hair was doves,
dealing blows
below the
cross.

pouring trees
slipped joints run lengths
from pouring tree,
lank and drippy, drooping
sorry sermons strain boughs
leaking bourbon
a sunken story
place to be,
just slippery sky and
flea parties.
