Untitled, original poem #79

can only be moved 
 on the surface
so many
 of these earth-clod gods

i can not swim their current
 and stay the course myself
my waters and my world

can't speak and swim
and there's nothing left to say

how will i know the one
no
i should have never come

Untitled, original poem #71

too many souls
too much sweat
and too much blood
too many damned human movements
moments
 of pinpoint salvation

here i am
 again
and in aftermath

waiting for the end of the world
waiting for my freedom
waiting to be whole again
waiting
 hallelujah

Untitled, original poem #70

static
 background
hollow or shallow souls
something basic is absent
not necessarily
 missing
more like never been

darkwood poison daydreams
 singing
  simply
stinging in my ear
as you busily oblivious
 bourgeois
  are polishing your plastic hair

know you and i
 can never meet
no
the tracks you've laid
 don't go there



*

Original poem #69

Birthday

i ran into a kind of
 strange creature
  on my way down here

nestled in that nexus
the nimbus 
 of the endless never

coiled in truth
it spoke

troubled soul
you won't be far from home
and you don't need
 salvation

Original poem #67

Waypoint

warped in your starlight
softened and scattered
i'm cloud-filtered moonlight
feasting on ravens
 and shadows of earth night

a pale flight

refusing my soul
 for these bones
  and their birthright

Untitled, original poem #66

las vegas
 is slick women in boots
high to the thigh
 stuffed with feet of foam rubber
she's a glitzy lit hooker
 that cums with no lover

mottled mosaic america
lighted zirconium
she's staged in the countrooms
 & small spectral glasses of booze
bought breasts

las vegas is best
 in the dark
