a heated blanket
of rippling
violet,
as moon smiles
ocean wide,
never met a
night
so..
lovelorn it couldn’t
be drowned
within..
ripples roll by me violent,
at least the winds
commit,
moon smirks sharp
upon the waves,
and through icy
cracks of
light,
my..
eyes swim
away.

giving in
now and again
to that inner
smile
can take years
off one’s
stone,
save your words
for our next
face to face not
via phone.

you’ve got balls calling
me hypocrite..
like folks who aren’t
still exist
in primate
form..
first crawl atop a
dirty beach..
thirsty for
more,
i believe in santa and
a sugar junkie
bunny,
but not the curse
of monday
morn,
flicking through
channels for
funny
but
all i find’s more
robo-porn.

clearly fancies self a
captain drunk
on the..
highs of heroism
in hedonist
fugue,
overseeing storms
of wardom
from
low hanging
room.
peasants? they’re
all out of
touch..
one hand thrust to
heaven’s
offer
long turned
down..
while weaker palm
gropes
for..
heart that can’t
be found.

rosemary’s not
crazy
eyes just look
spaced
out
when bugs buzz around
her kitchen island,
so tempting
to drop them where
they stand
but..
she’d be forced
to wipe
up
another
manmade mess
with her two
hands.
..those domestic blisters.

i wish and i wish
til my wish
stone
won’t wish, i churn
through hush
screams
til brain’s melting
ice dream..
in a dish, in a cone,
he licks blood
from bone..
whiter than north
pole teeth,
as waves suck toes
into beach.

winter sputters
into new
week,
sifting shattered
flakes,
quick, shake those icy
sugar sorrows
like it’s no
sweat..
and don’t forget that
snowman you
shamed
with
crooked carrot,
coal are the eyes of
another day
spent..
weighing down
your bed.

creaking nowhere..
’twas a nice but

washed under beach
front porch,
glass shatter clutched
in my bloody
palms,
hellfire whispers
sweet things
while
plumes dry and black
plummet south,
bomb diffusers
scan the
lawn..
explosives lit
in mouth.

what’s this dreamland of
which you sing
with wings
matted flat
to back?
such flapping
for little
flight
too much chirping
out of tune for
lonely bird,
won’t..
you trill along
with me?
even if strange to
my words..
i hear heart lumped
in vocal
box,
muffled under
cooling
rage,
i’d rather float upon a
melody than
drown
in
talk through
bars of a
cage.
