POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Clumsy gesture and strange silence before the panel judges. Much timetravel lag, thus employment and land ownership weren't possible. These buttons and screens will be lost, a return to the desert rocks will be made, flowing back into Far Depths again.
The Courtyard Suitor’s Trouble
There she waits among the courtyard pillars
Alone and availed in autumnal branches;
There she seats in calm breezes, there in sunbeams,
There by trickling stream, there the marbled green.
There holding her eyes down to dusty pages,
The dead of books meaning nothing to her;
Yet there, her mind’s reading is Everything,
She is part of my world, just let her be.
Nothing more can be offered to this scene,
What is never said is forever Heard;
What is never done around these corners,
Fuels the Mind beyond infinites of End.
I must then...

When Crosses Are Seen Sideways
When crosses are seen sideways as barren poles
And vision blurs to only warm touches of movement
I’m trying to keep the chemical divisions at bay
And pour pure perceptions from Thought alone
While I wait in the hours of fields rot
Elapsed hues of blight collide with the swarms of sirens sharp
While the defenceless unclothed condition of enormous brain
Gets spoken through the words of the leering strangers passing by
It’s time to run boy run, run girl run
Do not look back nor clutch the lock-gut throat-stuck
A felt breath and cold...

It’s Socially Acceptable to Have a Girlfriend, Get a Place Together and Pretend You’re Little Adults

Again I am too stoned,
There she stands alone,
In the blur of everyone...
Now I should approach,
Before it gets too much,
Before I lose the clutch...
This moment could be lost,
At such Eternal Cost,
At such Eternal Cost...
I crave the Immortal’s Plate,
Yet settle in the wait,
Of weathers soft and safe...
Every night I could go on,
Walk off into the dawn,
Forever from here gone...
But something holds me back,
Her...

When I am left in myself
And I can't use what I am
Those endings will not delay
Why won't it ever behave?
It could have been so perfect
Another night on the shore
But it's too late for that now
I took the lengthening scared
And I can only hang on
To you my long-ago friend
But even you must go on
You cannot stay with me there
And when the sun has gone down
I won't know how to contain
I cannot trust what we are
I won't know how to...

In the Unsleeving of a Life
In the unsleeving of a life, glances low...
You’re the one I always thought too much of,
You’re the one I never said enough to,
Nor cleft my dire roots to sprout the first move.
Friday night was foul anesthesia,
Too spun too far to reach your radiant hem,
Left in ocean depths, bland amnesia,
My darker pride’s fit made wilt the graft stem.
Clinic sliver rips of pain’s division,
A rude beast kneads in a royal kennel,
Its’ icy breath crawls up the bitten skin,
It screams as the Light through my last tunnel.
Of all new scenes these...

Rough Medley: Brief Manifestos of Progressive Societal Disarray (***Filler/Long***)
Stick to just drinking so you are better...
Stick to just drinking so you talk more...
Stick to just drinking so you get laid...
Stick to just drinking so you settle down...
Stick to just drinking so nothing goes wrong...
Stick to just drinking so you can connect...
Stick to just drinking so you can produce:
The need for more roads to be paved…
The need for more houses to be built…
The need for more mortgages to be drawn…
The need for more schools to be filled…
The need for more bullets to be shot…
The need for more...

I Refuse
I refuse to die.
I refuse to be born again.
I refuse to be erased, immediately transformed
Into new shape based on my past mistakes...
I refuse to seek Permission.
I refuse to gain Acceptance.
I forgive...
I forgive, regardless...
Regardless of Reward.
Regardless of nothingness.
Some may find wilderness in their body,
Some may find universe in their mind,
Some may find great meaning
To the motions of the evening,
Their dramas on the dance-floor...
Some may find great conclusion
To the logic of the...

I Find No Words
I find no words to describe
My warm blur of interiors,
Whose boundary stretches the length of sight,
Whose ignition by the logic of timings,
Leads me aimless through the rave-walled dark.
O these beautiful young people,
They are as inanimate and separate from me,
As buildings along the streets,
Forests upon the Earth.
What can I give them to gain their connection,
Their rain splatter of soft hands upon my stiff garment?
Can I give them any more than vague glimpses,
Interpretations of the outside world,
The outside past, the...

Simplest Mysterious
Simplest mysterious far away Lorraine,
How the fading likeness of your kiss leaves
Indents of thought beside this icy moraine,
Locked in cliff where the Earth's cold anger breathes.
This wrangled side of stiff and blinking chill,
Where life moves inches under centuries of sky;
Where once its' grandeur brought thirst to the Well,
Brings only your absence before my eye.
So lost the humble closeness of your glance,
When tree-like posed amid that common flutter,
We impressed in the awkward voids of chance
The strange Design which lead us to...

Rough Medley: Indent of a Scribble by a Pen Being Tested for Ink
**Warning: Some Offensive Religious Content***
my head zoomed through halls of space
like the fling of a ride at an amusement park
and then a produce man visited me inside my body with a container of rotten vegetables + fruit and asked me if he could have mine (my disease) and i hesitated clutching the small container of my own and then tossed it to him saying “Why not?”
--------------------------
trying to keep awake
on sleeping pills in bed
ain’t an easy task
boy oh boy...

Burn Down the Suburbs
I just have to say,
You ought to burn down the suburbs...
Here come the authorities...
But you just laugh at them from your bunker...
And when they extinguish the last burning embers,
Your trip to the next world will begin.
It's all quiet on the final front...
And from your breath begins the new annihilation.
Whispered voices in the distortion,
Are calling me to the abyss.
Awakening in the ocean to new sounds...
Another quest to the dry land.
New skeletons forming in the lizards...
Peeling off, the next mammals emerge....
You ought to burn down the suburbs...
Here come the authorities...
But you just laugh at them from your bunker...
And when they extinguish the last burning embers,
Your trip to the next world will begin.
It's all quiet on the final front...
And from your breath begins the new annihilation.
Whispered voices in the distortion,
Are calling me to the abyss.
Awakening in the ocean to new sounds...
Another quest to the dry land.
New skeletons forming in the lizards...
Peeling off, the next mammals emerge....
