Tobacco Prophet

Sacred plant

Silly harvest
sacrificed face

Once sacred

smoke billow carry water droplet drop through sky

Breakfast (Written May Fourth Two-Thousand-Nine)

So its over
and the tears are shed
stored in ink well
placed down hollow quill
the end

The whispers manifest
a destiny to contemplate
fate
fake emotion
unrealistic projection
a project in confidence
obsession enameled
broken incessant ache
enamored

[But for this warm beating
this blood has been left for bleeding

but for this special place
behind a wall now hidden

(tread lightly
game has no consequence
the trip is part of the act
clap at the expert dribbler)

but for this love
unspoken
unwritten
it’s over and passed

but for this life
the future
the end

but for this panic
grip as slipping
battered hands
for dear life

(wounds only observed
when placed for jest
found rest—
arrest this human
dance in humor)]

and these random letters
designed to decieve
only mind
and capture heart
just a part between A and Z
one by one
they sing out loud
like white water
or some peacock plume
dried out
fallen and rotten

so what high plane
does this song bring
while tearing down
spiraling
for amusement
some future scene
a city green?

where no other place
as close as this
as sure as now
muddle through somehow
and finish well

for

just one letter
put together
meaning
goes without saying
yet not resisted
to tell

Serious Intent (written 04/26/2009)

Serious intent

pointed in the direction of flight
sleepless torture
with or without

obsession on explaination
reiteration on rationalization
excalation

court in session
the riddle is the judge
allusion the jury
can you act like the executioner

Conclusion for Flores (written 02/15/09 2:15 PM)

This is the conclusion:
The summit and the summary:
I am an expert in nothing.

So was before birth and after
no not I mean nihilism
nor know not I mean nietzscheanism

even though:
nothing will happen again
and again
so I've chosen what I've been appointed to be:
an expert in nothing.

Scene on campus dancing
despair in exaust
getting the rock to the top
of the
mountain
black
sometimes it slips halfway up
and that one don't count
so on the Sabbath
I forego formality
and bury my head in
nothing

once again
and it is even
more
silly each time
so I smile and find my mates
to study nothing:

An illogical revelry
in reveries
rant and rage
for some summation
of knowledege to topple
while I babble and build bombs
to bring down my own world.

And only unfurled
rhythm and rhyme
falling petals
on frozen ponds
so the echoes are like hard pack snow.

Today

Spirit whispers
find
today

Refuse
surfacing
something all today

Change
quiet simple
happens today

the fruit of divorced present
today
so sweet it is short
by the falling of souls
today.

Dragon Crap

Squeeze off a round
show strength
abandon inhibition
civilization is captivator
watch survival
cold air
water

Earth old sensed
feel each step before you stride
take the time
roses are a dime a dozen
and the washing of hands
are always needed after this romantic shop stop

Grow the flowers
pick the seedless fruit
efficiency the key
frozen in the lock
in and out of visibility
teasing
wrangling
unsure
monitor
love
twisting
absence
dull
drum the way to saftey
in the cave are the spirits
they show the way
clean water cistern
bladder pure
release
hook heart
love unbound
skipping
attitude forced in side emotion the difficulty born
push pull feet on the floor
walk at words from sea
choiceless feel free.

Astrophysical Pac Man

Anthropomorphized emotions imcomplete
yet standing all in one
well defined each
as if this theory
that minds all rationality
can be corpuscled and clear


so assume and feel
a plank from stone to stone
like clocks and trampolines
an undefined gravity
love just for fun
remembered against the mutual backdrop
from where it's been abstracted
is a pain just as dark
and somehow it never fails
an attempt to separate
an involuntary smile
from an unforgettable dropping heart ache.

A Glimpse of Forgiveness

To find beauty
where all that was beautiful went horrid
is a thing I think few can know
much less master
and practice
but now I know
this is a thing
impossible to find alone
and in a strength in solitude
can be shared to all who would know
forgiveness is the only true divine law.

Towers of Silence

Fleshy parts of kings
fallen in silence
musak playing
birds of heaven
Mazda.


Corpseration
seraphic curtains
diadem ropes
fossils
eaten.


Opposition united
prodigal forms
me me believe I I
stars
book ends recognize.


Destruction of what all know today
and they burn all the past
wine pressed
heaven's children full
is it any wonder?

Remnants of a Voice

Fear for my wakeful eyes
it's not paint that's my desguise
it's the heart that digs and tries
to tie all the banners of power


and in the hour
where the masks melt
what is this guilt one had felt
to carry one for more than lust
for greed and holy bowers
on to forgiveness
and strong wind long suffering


meandering this thought
an art unpredictable to cure
fool for for sure
for in compositions of rememberance
winning war and race dances
kill the ants and make it rain


extinct suffering man never knows
cause pain itself he thinks the cure
so where does she go? 


Fear full my deep set eyes
knowing only one to speak
and times no rememberance
the flesh she makes weak
for longing always unity
with her body


and these ties random nexts
texts to study to forget
application
adoration of intelect
inseparable castle drink the cup


windy and excessive one line has become
run
death does make its way
in moments of alluring pain
and done once again
no gain
run
push the wind to repeat
air and word
no seats left upon my eyes
all have seen
dream.

Extremities of Loneliness

Worries
that are artless
sole words


kneel down as water rushes overhead
keeping company
and the sounds are imaginative


cleaning
although polluted
flashes of emotion
dreams saying


what is heard
in distances past and future
achieve the impossible


walking away
pockets empty
over and over
again and again
now and never
again again soon


lost
outside of the city
the fire consumes
and the angel finds pleasure
suffering


a companion follows me
and it is nothing
but sounds and sights
of a welcomed prison
eeking out
daily writings
lost


once again this inadequate
too morose toast
to solitary attempts
at explaining the extremites of loneliness.

Mythical Origins

Hearts of letters
oceans of words
prehistorical waters
converge

where falls sound similar
snowy white channels
secret handle
last drops of candles

in a small shallow breath
enflamed dances
enhances
what light is left

that a soon flood
of what anyone does say
floats in foam
above known headstrong
definitions of dread

and could this be the conclusion of language
where what is spoken
composition of not in head
but letters in heart
unconscious seas instead.

More Drainage

Throwing old logs into the pit
water nothing burns
out efficiency
and the speed of mistaken
identity

More hours creeping
soon more and more drainage
green floating on tension
look back empty trailer
full of diapers

and the mystery deepens
although missed is attentiveness
crowned leader
and self appointed fool
bottom of drainage pit
detritus
and grey hair covered by black sweatshirt

oh the riddle's pure
and the words are rolling
falling away at toe cracked
seas of unconscious talk
moved along like diamond pace
sparkle

drain

Distracted and Dumbfounded

No new thoughts
but flush with ideas
just like expensive paper grapes

What have you brought
to the table
just moldy wooden horses
in darkness I have traced

Behave they say
in ritual written
tendrils chicken body head cutoff

For a little bit of
wine
forthright approximately
fully mine
had better be looked after
cause slowly was dies

and being in a boat
overboard
undrown
'cuz
exemplar
just not very navigatable
passionate uncompromisable
and wrapped in prion sacs
culled like weeds
they drown
the teachers of lawn mowers
toxic crystal clear water

And
what is this newborn hope
gestations bridge from pasts
and futures to cope
unspoken unwritten
enigmatic beyond imagination
romantic to a cliche
just floating ideas
no new thoughts
crossword puzzle
waching the chicken's body slowly die
until the day no tear
but trouble everywhere
in still life rotting wood.

Narcissus & Echo (the perfect complement)

Ah beautiful bliss
bliss
look at the wonderful water nymph
nymph
certainly she longs for me
for me
so I will wait
will wait
that looks like me
like me
such a beautiful voice does she
does she
silly girl must not be me

we will sooth each other
each other
my beautiful one
full one

love you
forever
forever

Hungry for Life

Once I saw a lonley deer
reach the top of the hill
to give out her attention
if the herd was there
I sat in silence
watching the event
reminiscent of the reason
I beheld
her slowly drift away
back to the shadows
never aware
I was there

Once I saw the herd
during daylight
I alone
disrupted them
that is how I saw
slowly they moved out of my way
from quite a distance
me being me
I let out a scream
like a mountain lion
they picked up the pace
and then again I roared
and began to run
their trot turned to gallup
then I turned on the charm
played the role
coyote stole
and gave a growl
like in primal days
and then I saw it

no longer did the deer
see a headlight
or a car
they saw not the grave stones
or the paved roads
they were running for their lives
an Eartly fright
high cholesterol
pumping fight
I saw it
I the lion let out a laugh
and the dread came over my eyes
I let out another scream
as they dissapeared
in the wood
yes this was life
yes this will be life
but now bound
in daily preponderance
of ticks
clocks punching swiping
heart pumping

A Short Indeterminancy

Panic and paw law pele
a little bitty boy
weeping for past
looking at projections
in?

to conjure up apologies
to say to those hurt
but the time is not right
learing how much I know
and what is kept at distances

snails and silver
sold behold
never leave
a short indeterminancy
love what one has
so it is said

and these twists
these turns no one can forsee
known
barely
focus negativity at the shadow on the wall
leave the lone cave behold the sun
still indeterminant
apology
keep him real.

A New Philosophy

See Saw Nihilism
what a concept
like one of those raliroad pump thingies

Faith and Nothing
see sawing through baby
land cutting
retract and retrace
in the drainage pit leaving a tear
not so shitty

See Saw Nihilism
dual nature
ruthless and unpredictable

Boundless

Forgiven the tears on the carpet have dried
the concern of the feline has passed
the mourning of the hour
is boundless

on the list
don't expect
here
now known

lies are real even unconscious
but boundless is this ride
amused
knowing who gets me through

boundless network
a trampoline
please
beg don't run
now knowing
time

Ruthless

Who can catch me
who can stop me
an arrangement long ago
in the spirit tempts me
and I will take


Ruthless is this world
and I store up my anger
released it will be
one way or another


the navigation tools fail me
and history no longer haunts me
and when it comes you will hear me
this baby's land is mine
lay to waste who is here
with my free will




I am not nothing
I am more than this
than what you see
no one can stop me
no one can catch me

may this moment live
and hear the voice from the middle
echoing through out the mountain

Pray for the Passing

Hard wet snow
made a ball
on mountainside . . .

A change is coming
harbor
a safe harbor for all appearances sake

where is justice?
inside carrying scab
fully picked off this hour

dark side creeping
but even powerless
arms electric again

under the rug
choice to crawl
empty cave
is all

and how can safe harbor be
must be fantasy
worse still for me
reality

where is justice
my pay
a finding of peace
in answer to prayer
spoken aloud

seeking death
for a while
and rebirth
hour by hour
nothing has changed
obsessed
with object's obsession

the hour ticks late
the change . . .
avalanche

Unlike Kryptonite

The superhero's existential dilema
inviting in intellectual exercise
their alienation from their
love


but felt in real life~
draining unlike kryptonite
it twists in human weakness
this fragile boy
fatherless like some hebrew myth


romantic era recurrence
the banner flying overhead
the pool strata neighborhood fence
one leap like braniac
shape shifting stealing hens


hour by hour
returning to this hate
and feel this superhero
who has fallen
unlike kryptonite


but as to see
a focus of this simple pain
externally
and my DNA
in want of outlets
writes in secrecy
for anyone to see


this moment
these days
focused on why
who can see
an understanding of pain
hypocrisy and fallacy
flawed
unlike kryptonite


a true love fights
and stumbles hard
hurting all around
with words more than actions
unlike kryptonite
this banishment hurts
and it twists and lingers
wonder from man


tantalized and tortured
any way you slice it
unlike kryptonite
pain like the milky way
only felt fully
in deep unconsciousness
this boy is no superman
but his Father that breaths
during sleep is good
and the sun will rise
unlike kryptonite

The Day The Children Sat

Mourning in a spot
first star contemplate
with the beginnings of a setting sun
while native chant overtook my thought
like some language
conveying only heart
and hearing only heart
the star outlasts
outshines the rest
somehow I thought there were others here
checking my pulse


The mourn this hour
overtakes this dramaticity
stale-mate
blips on the screen
wandered off in tartarus
worlds all our own
and there she made my world
but is gone.


Never before


In the playground they take their seats
and the chosen one complains
and points out a logical thing
a third come
and only the laughter from
a mourning soul
can say
sit down children
I am it all~
and we made them both.

Wrecked (Written December, 2003)

Sleep disruption
flew over my nest
without knowing
without leaving
her name

She shout out that I’m lone
I’m crazy time to drone
and to be on
a tarzan swing of hate
and love
jump off
splash!


Awoke in ripples of electric
disruption calling out her name
trying to convince subconscious to
seriously consider this one
but how much pain will come?

Sleep disruption on vacation
to mist and frozen flying dust
wash windows of this muck
salt and tires turning
in stomach disrupt
of time teeth new
brushes and old go to
land fills
just as unknown names

rustling leaves
rustles leaves
busy deer
bushy frightened stillwater
deer
jumping hurring to
be staring at head
lights in the sixty
miles road
tires
tired from obsession
breathing
calling out
her name
involuntarily
at night in sleep.
