A lesser god for the stars and vines. The soon myth heavily bound to the bent way as it falls into the wounded wild’s breasts. Half hearted, the suspended love and arrangement with progress instead, until the forest is wet and full with brown bodies laid in nature’s undue exhaust, until we children are strung out on a star, waiting for the night’s hearse to bite into our thrill with its teeth over and over, forever without end, amen.

A lesser God is turning under the heat and black spot of the sun. Then us, too small to trouble the sun with fire that breathes and dies before our eyes - even as we turn over her daughter and rape her all across the land in the sun’s shadow that fans out like a phantom over and over, forever without end, amen.

A Lesser God and the child of a Lesser God am I, walking with two sinistral feet because I am woman and the devil as such. The world is left to survive on my sin and I’m left to stand upon a life, who is by the way a woman of the constellations. Soon the constellation’s womb fall’s upon its axis - that is the deer dying, doomed Daphne, man’s rational impotence.

Low and Behold! Watch the western white wind arrive upon a body of steel; a lesser God leads the way, green and made from the casualty of an Oak, over and over, forever without end, amen.

The Night
0916.2012


As the night draws
Its train behind her entrance,
And kills the lights,
She meanders en route for black,
Not very unlike a heavy-eyed ocean –
I have thought that for a second
Everything’s caught in the emptiness
And the extravagance of a prose’s
Words or tune couldn’t unfreeze it.

Not a word
That we’ve all become so still
And our shadows stolen
Under the sweet September air,
That we turn blind eyes to the
Nocturnal birds unfolding like
A sheet over the earth
And lose our sins in the
Cloak darkness drapes upon us.

I have thought that,
That I once thought it,
That I have thought of the night -

Do you know what I mean?
(Oh love)

Waving Goodbye
0917.2012



I stand where the ground bulges
With flowers hemorrhaging color,
Fat with faces and mouths that open and close
In agreement with the light and dark,
And I know how unsubstantial they are,
That they’ll die in one week’s time.
Nearby the buildings make me miniature
And lose themselves in the clouds,
Here the trees seem more than the buildings,
Somehow they are definitely more ominous,
Their shadows more intimidating,
And how alone I seem and surely
Think for a moment that I am.

And standing in the throng
I carry my love for you like a drag,
Lugging it like an animal moving a dead companion
Throughout the world by its leg
With its neck that won’t keep its head upright,
And the whole time I’m thinking I need to bury it
For its sleep and the unconcerned worms it calls.
I also think I can’t read your epistles,
That I want your poems, prose, and sentences
To shut their mouths because the words
Have become out of character.

On the way home I pass children
And think how flowing their love and aim is,
They shout openly needs and advice –
And the city cleaner that swallows his pride
And sees nobility in even discarded things,
Then I imagine I can be and do that
But I must give up fortune telling
Because I am not a crone, yet.
I think to let hope run far from me,
And along with it its anger and failure,
Apologies and explanations,
Then if I can just renounce protecting my personality,
Anymore she’s pared on the deserted tract,
And the worst thought of all,
Which is to abandon all these things –
“So sorry, it’s my fault, again.”
Then we’d become two activists
No longer fighting the unfair conduct of each other.

But today the plainer eye sees,
My body knows the closer to home it gets
It will hang up its coat and place its hat on the hook,
Then it will have moved out of the sun
Closer to the dark where the end hangs on its edge,
Where her hands and fingers are naked
Then while being noticeably seen,
Wave goodbye.

Dum Spiro Spero
0925.2012


Finally you’re airborne,
When for years your feet were held
To the ground by invisible heaviness,
And your heart reared no clemency
And greatly hated.

Now you take breaths
And open your eyes,
You widen your arms
To encompass being and
Find after all this time,
You still have trust and love
Hidden in the crutch your breasts,
That it’s okay to let go
Of them and yourself,

Because you give them time to
Explore added promise,
Because you turn into your insights and
The sum of all your mediations -

To peace,

Because there’s no greater gift
Than to gather the stars and sun
Into your hands and mouth.

Grimalkin
0926.2012



When I was young I’d creep
Silver and sinuous beneath the sun,
My backbone curving quietly
With a meandering posture,
Then swinging to and from without concern,
My mother taught me survival was to shift
In small fast arrangements that played
Upon my feet in a toccata and fugue,
And that time was a virtue.

The trees would gather me into their hands,
Lifting me to their breasts where sometimes
I’d drape lazily in their arms, sleeping
Gone the entire day with the sun’s light
Dusting my pelt and warming my
Skeleton, which seemed to quickly age.

I became friends with sparrows and doves,
Learning their strategy and society
So they could become familiar
And comfortable in my presence,
Then when I had to finish one (regretfully)
I’d express gratitude for my life,
Sure to not desecrate the delicate breasts and wings,
Until my tongue burnished their bones ivory.

Now I bask wearily, dreaming
Of balled silk arranged in a basket upon
My mistress’s rocking chair,
Buttermilk given during autumn days,
And human hands fussing upon my coat,
That with the first snowfall grows thick.

(And I could speak to you of my fur,
Of its promise and purpose,
The calm and serene moments
And its lowered demands,
Of the machine in my throat
Running smooth with contentment
As fingers frolic upon it.)

I also remember the handsome Tom
Sitting upon my window,
Then my six children fastened to me,
Their paws dancing upon my breasts
To stir the creamy milk -
And I remember
Soon after the hurry to hunt returning,
Usually a mouse or lizard,
All tokens of my affection and gratitude -
Sitting at my mistress’s feet.

Now these days some fire in my gilded
Eyes dims day by day, and my stature trembles
Falling left or right as a towel is laid out
To soften the plummet of bones tired and frail.
There’s usually a temperate quietness,
Where shameless with indignant self-respect,
I practically breathe my last,
When my eyes spark just one more moment -
And though humanized,
I’m not at all human (as if I wish to be)
But in all sincerity,

a cat.

Like A Rose Wearing A Thorn
0425.2013





Way down in the underground
The idols have died
And the eyes on the outside
Are now turned inside

Yeah, this cave’s intricate
It’s winding me down
And I’ve finally got a place
For the soul that drowned

And we’re comfortable down here
Knowing there’s nothing up there
Everything's nonexistent
It’s all for the merry figment

We’ve got some fire forever
And a long finger for whenever
As the forged nobility of lying
Is at long last dying

So we take another drink
Because it helps us think
And we light a smoke
For the grandest stroke

Yeah, we’re looking in the mirror baby
Sure the stand and feeling less weighty
We’ve got the devil’s roses in our hair
To catch the evangelicals unaware

And he’s dancing with us in Cordova
While God’s on holiday South of Sedona
And we tried to invoke him his way
But if that God cares he won’t say

So I unwind this load
Upon this seafaring ode
Each word closer to the shore
Leading me to end my lore

And to think my soul starts in the womb of mother
To think it couldn’t have inhabited another
That no matter how near or far it goes
It returns to the tomb of Pavlov’s shadows

Oh yeah, it’s a condition they say
But you can go your own way
And I’ll gladly carry on mine
Till the end of a fault line

Oh yeah, you can go your road baby
And I’ll gladly carry on mine maybe
‘Cause I was born to bear your scorn
Like a rose wearing a thorn

Over The Moon
0430.2013




I wonder why everything in a day
must be overtaken with shadow,
the flowers bleeding brilliant brights
and the sky’s bursting blues and bronzes -
the summer trees and most of spring’s resurrection,
all at the mercy of a moon and earth with other plans

It’s not like autumn and winter didn’t
have a good go at it for six months,
I think that’s how long my pleasure
stayed spellbound in their grey and white bones

That’s how it is now that you’ve gone
even with the sun’s enthusiasm for warmth
and the hours now, which are a glaring, yellow topaz,
I should be over the moon in that light

Although I think the wind knows
with its soft sighs and blues
that it’s carrying into my house
how it haunts me because it’s just me

And why do you have to be so moody?
Didn’t anybody show you how to love?
Didn’t anybody else know?
Oh darling, I think with at least four months
where one remains sunlit and sated
we’d have favorable conditions for it.

Buenas noches mi hermosa luna, mi estrella en explosión. Sol y los pájaros Goodnight, niebla flotando un momento. Goodnight al viento que me abanicaba con tanta dulzura, cuando el calor era suficiente para arruinar mi constitución. Dulces sueños mi mar, buen viaje mi hora. Déjame esconderme de todo lo que es sorprendente y verdadera y encontrar la seguridad en los brazos de otro. Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight. Buenas noches mi amor.

For My Compass
0524.2013


(I don't need to see the path to know you are at the end of it)



For my compass
Where I dream you

For my mouth’s
Unanswered prayer
And hesitant bloom
Between some sheets
Of wood and stitches

I carry my psalms
And secret letters
Where my feet
Pass unwilling
Upon the endless
Thorn of sadness

And I command
This small gold flute
For the numbing
Of my rib’s woe,
Its song singing
From the night’s ridge

Oh saddest strings
Of a star’s grief!

Small silver bird -
Wing streaked postman
Wearing moon’s ghost
From pole to pole

Take my love note
And sing it to
Where my love waits
Not knowing me

Enchant his heart
Dropping your spell
Into his hair
And slender hands

So that they might
Find their way back
To my body
And sing night by night
To its feeling

So that my flute
Stops singing sad
And my compass
No longer hopes.

Conversation Haiku

Our two tongues talking
Speaking such with two voices
Like a rhapsody.

Donned a diamond fetter
Binding light to branch.

Why Comfort?
0828.2013


Why Comfort?
The room is empty with your calm fleeing from it,
With your resignation that all things are at odds
And those that aren’t, just be.
Your optimism and some physical requests seem to be
Crawling on the ground for you to stare in awe at.
You can hardly believe they were yours.
As a result you choose to not weep, not be devout,
Not be content …you opt to break;
You also decide to not be anxious about it.
So why comfort?
With your skull in your hands and your structure
Beaten into something and nothing floating around in it,
You’re trying to appreciate how one sits like a rock
Or stands like a wall, or moves like the sea -
How one swims like fishes in teams, wakes like birds
Singing to the sun that sits its fire upon the 5th hour.
So why?
Magnificence isn’t enough,
You’re too quick for that.
And clean, smooth, pristine:
The people who lie.

You need something palpable,
And a mouth that’s tuning itself to yours –

A Woman Dies At The Bus Station (While He Looks On)
0901.2013

String tight tension
Runs through lanes of
The pink pillar -
Last thump of blue then red
Where in and out life is plural,
Where the clamped stem of a
Scarlet carnation to the unknown hours
And bloomed explosion
Is un-cogged and surrendered -

The field before early
With bloom’s garments
Fastened green to rooted bines
Below day’s dropped gold,
Where lovers with their languages
Press to each other inside a spin,
Because the dance is singular
And the tune made from fire –

It was just after the feet
Stood to step back into citified life,
Where the bus let us graze hands
And see into whom we were complete for.

Crossroads
0914.2013


There are titles for the halfway stop:
Names like Meridian and Janus
Followed by something similar to a pause.

Then there’s usually the realization -
An opportunity for regret,
The possibility to throw out a few things
Wherever sometimes you stand blank -
The entire depiction a kind of awe,
Then you may stand uncomfortable in your own shoes

Though, there’s nothing you can erase.

A Man And A Woman Lay Side By Side
0902.2013

A soft parade of feathers
From the earth’s limb
Into your ear –
You sleep light.

Sometime during the morning
Your eyes open as your smile
Curls unto its blue
And see’s me.

One time, our hands reach for one another
As if independent bodies –
As if they want to couple
And stay fastened
For an hour.

Hooked

You’re what I’m
Hung on like meat
Dried out to lay waste
And rott –

You fastener
You surprise wound.

I start to understand
The slow rupture
In the heart and hand,
That I force it
Standing so still.

The death they carry
Goodbye’s ode.

Oh how they lament:
At times black blotted,
Death’s carried 30 years
Its valediction stentorian
Until to about 45’s advent,
Death climbs slow
Upon the remains,
Dimming its light in the eye
To un-smooth skin and
Undo birth little by little
Year by year.

For An Artist
0921.2013



True I don’t track
The pay not worth
The time and talent,
Because it’s nothing of my wit
But boredom and by no means
Filling the blank only the sweetness
Of color cleverly can –

And yet only this language can suggests
How I can’t force my need into a fit:
The world’s mold of death walking –

Because my hands want to breathe
Because my eyes want to see.

So my suffering never dies
Because I was born
Bending to the whim
Of the typically unskilled
(Even with the space they can fill
Even with their significance.)

How I can’t be finished as merely useful
I must fashion beauty and themes,
I must slake my stiffness until loosened
And expressed the way I do –

Then I am living.

Shirt
0926.2013



I’d like to wear his shirt
His left over warmth:

The geraniums don’t smell this good.

The wine isn’t this intoxicating.

Comfort never reached such heights.

I’d like to taste his cup,
His spit in mine,
To find a strand of his hair
Fallen onto the floor
Or on my side of the bed
“He was here” they’d say -
I’d curl into his books
And stare at his movies,
I’d consider him
While wearing his shirt
I’d dirty it with cigarette smoke
Drop a crumb of cookie on it
Rub my slick love on its weave
Dance in it
Let it cradle my back
My arms in its arms,
I’d hide it under my sweater,
As we walk through the market
Skin to skin, plaited and united.

Before I go,
I’ll make believe its clean so he wears it:

I’ll hang it painstakingly in his closet
So he hardly suspects a thing
As they pinch pieces of him,
As he ring’s of me
As he’s falls in love
When I’m far from view.

He’ll never know why.

Now the chain of stars you lassoed around me
So full of new love, they won’t die in a little while
And the flowers that spring beneath my steps since you,
Then the branches imploring my thought and body
To lay down its bud and honey
And the sun sinking into the earth’s arms
Like me sinking into the sea of you,

Rising
Falling
Sighing
Stalling

If you only knew me on this edge
That I had to stagger off the resin
Your voice left under my skin
That I can still hear your breath.
