Calloused faith encumbered His magic gone awry He dreamed his cycles numbered And mansions in the sky But for all the weathered clamor And withered weary prose He wore a lightening stammer And thunder with a rose Then waves arise and buoys stirred Enigmatic in the dark The depths and breadths immeasured The torrent winds embarked Abreast to constellations cure With sextant heart aligned The land afar the water pure The times of time relined Then rendered all asunder Magma, mist and man The finished feral plunder fill The breach to understand

The first time I saw you you were a jellyfish on the beach all soft and exposed and out of your element with a whiff of decay and a hint of poison
I poked my stick at your tentacles watched them quiver in the wind and thought of the fish they once held
and thought that's not my world

And warming the sun Married the flowers To earth the clay To stones the time And colors the wind All for one and over Again children Come up and bloom Again
Now and then, my mortality comes into focus.

Good night all you pilgrims. All you words. All you laughs, and all you tears. Good night you mysteries. With your Avatars. With your reaches for stars. All you devotional purses and pockets. Buttoned and clasped and furrowed... Good night all. Meet me tomorrow in Paradise. And dream another day into the blue. Good night. Sleep tight. Midnight calls for a snooze. I am glad you all came today. Remember our friends in sorrow and need. Good night.

Will the sun come up When i go down Will my smile be A beaten frown A child's cry A piercing sound An outstretched hand A beggar's want The look of love My heart's daunt
I'd rather live alone But then again Can i trust my demons More than friends

SECRETS
Secrets infesting my half-sleep... did you enter my wound from another wound brushing mine in a crowd... or did I snare you on my sharper edges as a bird flying through cobwebbed trees at sun-up carries off spiders on its wings?
Secrets, running over my soul without sound, only when dawn comes tip-toeing ushered by a suave wind, and dreams disintegrate like breath shapes in frosty air, I shall overhear you, bare-foot, scatting off into the darkness... I shall know you, secrets by the litter you have left and by your bloody foot-prints.

One dark night on a dusty dirt road I saw a tall cross burn I saw hooded figures huddle and chant and raise their torches as if the light was anything but tears in white fabric Anything but tears running down black faces peering through ramshackle windows Everything except mercy in the red dirt field between meaning and melody I heard music in my soul when some years later A charred splinter post empty of fire and meaning stood sentinel Guarding the red mud where hatred made it's perfect stand And a boy parred the light from darkness...
