life passes by alone;
how can I hope to be free?
snooping demons all around!

In such a dark night
surrounded by limp shadows
life passes by alone;
how can I hope to be free?
snooping demons all around!
hunger
-------------
The Burning desire
for sustenance lest you die
makes starving declare
that moldy piece of cheese feast,
an apple core delicious...
thirst
the cistern's low,
sour brown water from the taps,
an obstinate sky.
turkey buzzards overhead,
something's gone down near the marsh.
waiting
Breathings escape them
Wisps of used energy float
Away, unwelcome.
They silently pass. The train
Imprisons them in mind-time.
Confessing to one's self
Confessing to one's self
Why should I confess?
Why should I accuse myself?
Why should I repent?
All is destined to happen;
It just happened that is all!
destiny
______________
destiny, sweet love,
awaits me in the shadows,
importuning me to leap.
Shall I leap without looking?
Or beckon logic to my aid?
becoming
What the light told us
was nothing compared to what
we discovered. Here
where hands meet, with eyes open,
the mouth whispering: I am.
sensation of falling
slipped over the rock
total darkness all around
he caught on the edge
frozen to death until day
break, to learn earth was just nigh!
hallucinations
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
That strong waxy smell
The rope between my fingers
Whirlpools in my head
Emptiness a sea below
I let go, earth rises up
Circumcision
Ought we to apply
Ockham's Razor to bodies?
Which appendages
are unnecessary?
Disgusting, stupid idea.
Cut circumcision itself.
Smoking
Ephemeral smoke
Does its damage, pirouettes
In the air, dancing,
Like some lithesome lamia
Pleasure its poisoned weapon
False smiling
Begin at wrinkles,
clutch for a grip under eyes,
pull up from the edge
of glass-rimmed lips, the curtain
closed, thick brocade shimmering.
a whispered conversation
the words came in air,
or, perhaps, the air itself
came in through the words:
the fantasm of a breath
carrying gentled meanings.
a black umbrella flying against a gray sky
Ever had a crazy
Kite shield your wits from storm?
The wind erupts with
A bellyful of laughter
As the canvas splits its sides
Bathysideromophobia
noise gives me headache
please keep off your diesel truck
let me enjoy life
let me go to the highest
cliff and dive down sea bottom.
