Down Town

"Lost and safe"

Almost blooms ride bikes
wear down shoes
with paper sleeves,
knees rubbed known,
smile
on by as parade balloons
blocked streets:
graffiti peck upon foreheads.
Lemon drop
shadows entice,
made most mostly of dust.


Rundowns ask for lighters
set fires, so and “she”
him impart cues with
flicks
of the wrist;
watch to what heights this
homelessness—afternoon
delight with a doberman
gentle drop—
bears a resemblance
to empty spots in photo books.

1, 2, 3

With about a box to-go, and coney island sets,

about a wall there rests some remains of the

second, or third to last, of my days: two teacup

kittens and a lion hung from its neck, a collage of

pigeons and limbs (a seashell resembling

its face) and grey, all grey imposed a white

wash slip; two months behind, again, three

times I repeat myself when I wish to be heard (this,

too, is a fragment pinned and crawls along the wall),

my favorite, then: an ex-lover manifesto hides

a banana which smiles, but through his hands

blue smeared marks and dead pots above the fridge,

then a fake bird juts out from a dead forest dry

on my empty dresser. Two animal heads upon the bed,

and finally a printer.

Love is

Love is unknown to a Morning Dove,
Unwanted by a wanton boy in lust,
Unneeded at the knees with a ring,
Unforgotten in the smallest of things.

The Greatest Gift Hit My Eye

Gaily (would bark?) my love a-tumbling down a wished well—starch
skin, stark:
naked loose leaf
oblong scribbled in dark.
A Turner turned over onside towards winter-numb

thumbs pressed against, stainless volt; from, or after the meal starts,
Trembling tarts
the oval eye rips ripples
(as you were) a splotch,
—danced, goes my line mumbles nothings as signs above a dot.

Birthday lists (firsts of many I’s) notebooks pile higher, adored and
mounts: moans
us (masquerade a busily boy)
with horns as Beelzebub
around a thorn bush kept secretly as pressed to mourn;

a speck about the milky white—which alter? Why, with much
fortune falters
site: imperfect device
in negatives the nightness scolders—
my lens no more as torn by a BB or foam flown inside; order.

A Dimly Lit Place

In a lobby of sorts I just happened
to find a hand with no stake under
the wake of a gabbing bunch of drunks,

I, one, also unsure of what knitting
had come undone in your dress,
swore bats escaped from beneath

so the bell could slowly toll over,
while we witnessed (whatever the
opposite of a hole is) unthought lump

sums of tummies unable to consume.
Soon the room came back to, and
bats had taken to attacking the

waitresses with only ears, a warm
unsaid word turned to lifetimes of
abuse; old soul songs recalled to record,

past the rips of the bong. An ashtray
for later, unprotected butts wait in empty
glasses and paper to dissolve those who

were never there (in makeshift wings)
to unravel what (at best or worst) may
potentially reoccur. Now Dawn, again,

has risen the dream undone. Now we
drift in infinite bliss for the moment.
You, too, in the light begin unbeing.

with a twitchy left eye
stitches coming undone
upper-middle little dreams
and her inseams unravel

(sarcastically) about some little
uncharacteristic twisting, often
hairs pinched--loosely, beware of
afterthought in retroactive witching.

And roof for fawn, with stroke brush;

where all

done until
an unprepared

swaggers by

maybe I

Up and down a backwards headlong, up until a

And the Hulk’s face deep in dirt in the front yard
Of some middle class family who can’t keep track of idols.

Return to Sender

Remember that the end is built in,
Not derived from any senses, but
The end of any sense at the expense
Of an experience. Everything else
Comes from chance encounters, chance
Flounders when it comes to expectation.
The lick of an envelope, shoved into a box
To be sent off elsewhere, where it will be
Received by a less excited party, to then
Get thrown with everything else that’s
Been sitting on the counter. It envelops
Space, until eaten by a can, where forgotten
Materials enjoy the sunlight from the top
Of the trash mountain. Burns in an explosion
Sending off fresh embers. New suns, which
Revisit with a stamp saying return to sender.
Remember, that the end is built in. No accident
That you can’t encourage a greater difference.

Thank you James

Two pills:

the pain of birth

the tear in two

the litter bug nun

to shrug it all off

and a pony to boot.

High nine, a cloud ride.

Blood Orange

She drew a picture of a blood orange, said
sliced, this is your entirety, visibly awake
and blinks in threes. Visibly awake, and misses
something. But inside, unpeeled, waits a squishy
wheel in constant spin. It does not need its other
end. It does not need to stop again. It only needs
a color such as this, to be squeezed and squeeze
and spit seeds into a bin. Spits a sour drop into
a shattered glass and begs and begs for another
passing comment about what an orange is, and
everything that center could possibly have meant.

Un titled

I don’t wanna know what goes on in that ol’ fish bowl.
I don’t even wanna think about the drink, some mix of
beta, gold, iridescent of the overhead lights hung low. Swirls
of small waves. Stunts, only cheap escapes. Motherless conception, at best.
I do wish the ocean held your eyes, and the reflection of
a slow rise on a bitter orange morn. Vast enough to yearn for more.

What

What lack a melody
words. Words kick it
pattern like on tarp.

Foreskin rug of bliss
Wish I hadn't. Hadn't
gotten smoked alone.

Let in wish kin two
brothers bone. Step
back back towards.

And that has made no difference

On a back porch lit by embers

a tree tilts and splinters with a

whip-crack of drums on bark.

Wolves decide quietly, instead

devour dinner under a shady canopy,

which soaks street lights up like a cotton

shirt does blood. Hark, a soft thought

littered rises and sways: in what way does

wind wisp old leaves away, wipe

roads clean of any ambiguous destination?

Might we travel together down all

trails, tread long laughs as a quarter

in motion lands on both heads and tails?

Or would wizened women and men

run headlong backwards towards themselves

for mere instant gratification, list worries

and regrets upon a napkin folded in small doses,

clean messes made when minds spill over

from too much dwelling on empty spaces.

Between bare limbs, arms outstretched across oceans

of brown grass, a sliver of hope diverges.

A vessel sits void of any intimate urges.

Take the latter, forget the former. These thoughts

will only assassinate, as if time lasts forever.

No Form to Recompose

I wish the ocean was the color of your eyes

and the pavement the gentle grip of your fists

hidden under tables; wish this cigarette was your

tulip lips and the ash your words emptied out in the

blood letting of your mind, and that the wind would carry

your scent were there a way to put you in words. And I'd lick

a dollar bill if it'd remind me of your skin. I'd be fond of other

humans if only the world didn't have you in wandering through it.
