to prove moonlight is not snow,
i touch the cement and know
like-hued grass and road as cold.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My hate is a beast of seasons--
A spine of February rain,
eyes of August venom and breath
clawing clear an October moon.

My love, a demon of reason--
A fulcrum tongue canting knowledge
toward verisimilitude
biased by cock-mind and bole heart.

My apathy, inconsistent--
Neither full nor hungry, I sit
that frailty breach twilight sheer.

My will I wish inertial-- Death
a mechanism of muses
fractal-edged in flame-- Death a flute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a marble christ

squats, figs in his hand
halfway thru a shit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   
there are two chairs which are
    the same chair--
one burns to black and one
    to white within
a dark hall upon which only
    moonlight falls--
eternal and still the undress
    of these chairs
which a mind's vast unrest
    cleaves to none--
if but there that flame set.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

some ignorances are inspired--
most knowledge is not.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

leaves of maple and oak race
one wind--

the clouds, another.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

satori, not sodoku--
burning garbage
as it snows.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a streaming of air thru serrations
of green and momentary
enlightenments of beak and wing--

so fall songs
from these winding trees--
so roots my solitude
in errata.

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

your heart is sad
and i am glad
your heart is sad--
it means you are not false.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
in love
with the feel of form--
the snow in fog

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i am not here to remember
i am not here to forget--
the universe is without question
and i without answer to give--
my loves rest fitfully
upon love, wide-eyed and true--
these mouths themselves are words
of wisdom, if wisdom rue--
here is the moon, a river
here the hawk, a spell--
i am not here to remember
i am not here to forget--
here is warmth contending sorrow
a shrew bled out in snow.

tonight the moon is out in full
the trees in their wisdom
stand still out in the open and hidden
you want your tower of babel?
look to the cottonwood the white oak
knowledge is moss on bark
the mind but systemised impulse and all
of love the ash that will
once have been by fire immersed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the more energy
 you locus
grants integrity
 to thought
dusk the same as dawn
 who is lennart frimodig?
  the sunderings
   of sundry
he's out
 flying a kite
with a fishing pole
and car keys
 and insulated gloves
  and the sky
doesn't care
fishing pole kitestring
rubbergloves keys
pipe flamingo
the smoke of dawn--
 
i would like to be
without repetend--
how could i not?
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
you can say what you think
 without having to think it
  beforehand?
 
yeah.
so you don't think what you say?
 
i don't know what i think
 before i say it.
  why; what do you think?
 
appearances are formless
 like dreams--
  which we forget.
 
i don't doubt it--
 my gods do not call
  for help.
 
the power
 to destroy a thing
  is our achilles heel.
yeah?
i do not know; i forget.
so you write.
i sing strangely
 of rock and rain--
  oils and pastels.
oils and pastels.
oils and pastels.
 
     winds that stain.
up at dawn and down
 at dusk--
  a songbird.
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

light descends--
how sensitive
the night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from here, thru the kitchen, to the door--

outside with big headphones.
the bright lake with dark houses--
the moonlight, but not the moon.

shadows from the album skies, 1/2, streams--
the 100s have their filters cut.
the solemn, weary wood sleeps furiously,
colourless and green--

were that i were static become coherent
as lightning spines--
were that i were thyme; were that i were sage.

were that i were lichened to a rock.
may all of carbon aspire to diamond--
may water strike away.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 




 

 



 

 



 

 



 

 


 

 


 

 

 

 
sticktoitivenesessity
each state's name
spoken
  in a statistically
coherent regional dialect
of the state.
what is not wisdom,
  is not wise.
so, think; i think, too.
crickets as noise.
thought a thimble. 
 
every route is circuitous.
so says the slatting sun.
 
the epic is capsized
and salvaged--
 
tonight,
no moon.
 
like profound innocence,
office, sir
 
of nabisco, new
jerusalem
 
new jersey
where death will not have hold.
 
give me slate.
behold.
 
this is for you.
end of july.
 
2009
what is time?
 
time is life.
which is fine.
 
fine as the finest
moth
 
at the wreath
at the backporch
  
light.
fine as sin.
 
fine as sentience
flickered in.
 
bring me the eyes of gojira.
that's my price.
 
stoned
after a blowjob immaculate.
 
a titan
of sirens
 
this rain
an ocean's minuet.
 
under a tree for an hour--
not a drop.

 


 

 


 

 


 

 

 

Put the ship in the bottle, drop the bottle
down the well; keep the ocean neath this desert of sky.
The ship is the bottle; the sky, but apples
within appleseeds, uncounted—
bushels gone to market without price.
The well is the message: a coming grave to mark life.
The desert but current derived.
And apples? Acid and sugar and cyanide—
Asystematically rot, incidentally pie—
And these ports are ofttimes wine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

laterality
wet with time

five questions
who

is an artist
that does nothing

but perceive
and sift

assembling collections
of his own garbage

when
will the moon fall

from my sight
tonight

provided i do not look
how

could a chimp
trained

to untrain itself
not do this task

where
there are den

of bear
what

bright nonsense
