Isidore, They Came To Claim You

there were songs that enveloped you
rose up like a hungover longshoreman
like hallucinations
black and crystal clear
muddled intent with an impassioned sneer
to privatize reason, kick you into season
he brings all the sea serpents
the old jealous gods
and invents
purpose

all these green fields
are full of monsters and feelings
stored deep in old memory
walk down the end of the worn streets
where the ocean is undefined
hides behind strategy
and leading to the untethered ends
it alludes to itself in long black feathery planks
that disappear beneath waves
like saints burned alive
tied to trees
pruned for tools
that despise and kill witches
the obsolete and the sublime and
the sisters that hid the unknowable
behind sheet of plaster and quicklime
the iridescent hills were full of flashing idols
private visions and pervasive transgressions
mountains of chemicals renamed
with a flavor and fear
you were unchallenged by not knowing
no ice shattered into clear gin warmed containers
held by heroes
belted by maps of the
galaxy Van Ellen's bet unvetted
by someone longing to
remember piously
perceptively
before the war.

Age Chloroforms All The Kingdoms

met your mother
during the war
covered in bluebells
covering the foreign reports
what kind of love and lies
we lived through
too many sets of consciousness
have passed by pictures
the last remains
of Irises, radios and Roosevelt
and what we were told
were better days.
now we're pointed towards the exits
told to sell lightning to skeptics
like everyone whose
gets thrown to the sea.

To Dream of Impossible Shipwrecks

staccato and terse
the head is hung up
love goes in reverse
painted door stripped
to be hung out to dry
left out in the rain
left outside the
lighting rays
the days of indoor
boxed wine retirement pain
so full of hooks
can't help but
be hung up
upside down
thrown around and drown
like a ragdoll
abandoned swan song
left for the prose hounds
to sing in fire
looking at
the sky

Maybe Luxury Over Confrontation

in a frozen
frame you
or some version of you
burns the house
down just to handle
some re-framing
I explained
to myself
when we were
young
and some one else
turned up
their nose at your
treasure
stranded
on a dusty shelf
luxury in a remote
paradise
vacation
attenuated to
an anti-matter world

lived inside a shield
we shared
but like all cut flowers
collected and
then dried and
neglected
I suspect
it all went wrong
when time got shorter
energy and entropy
gathered themselves
close to you
and we diminished
like sea shells tossed
over rocks to make dust
that catches light
swirling in
the waves.

That dust becomes
my companion
my words
guts chugged up
like a swarm of bees
just a breeze laid over
with fortune
in days before days
rising up like a birdless sea
constant and winding
and winds howling
screaming
jesus saves.

cut cord language pinned
to the floor seagulls hated
through ages we burn and
carry off holidays
dazzling roses and perfume
that scorches like blood
when you look at it sideways
as all madmen should
when going though
that kind of phase
swallow and swoon
laugh at carriages
draped in diaphanous
fabric that shows
through to the moon
reflected off the sea surface
without explanation
hiding on the
ceilings of caves

Flood The Stream With Fire

but what can rocks tell of the
fall from the tower
of moving across deserts
in a different age
when dense lonely cold hearted
creatures ruled
in the swiftness
with ease
the world is changing
stories rewritten erased
enclosed in haze
with added strangeness
washed before the monkeys
ruled.

Everything New Is Old Now / Everything Now Is Ageless

loving you is easy
give up all the secrets
espinage is abandoned
crackled,
collapsing absurdly
like some old theatre
in good old
Philadelphia.

there are two twin stars
behind your
eyes burning
solar flares
miracles on demand
if you believe
in the soft summer rain
or whatever you've got
can afford to lose
or give up on keeping
after a long day

hang a hook
on your comet's tail
for the ride
and the magic
lift the end of the sky
up like black vail
and
we'll go sailing.

Blip 4 Bob

beside you
in a space
car
we're still here
together
travel out in
some nebulae
we'll stay together
this car can drive
forever
lots of energy
on a tether
foundations
in space weather.

its housequake tuesday y'all. I can't sleep!

It Wasn't Air Until You Called It Something Different

can't find love
nothing left to ruin
can't even get it
together
on this planet
and they're looking
for life on mars
there are no answers
in the dance hall or the
stars in deep space
will we ever know
our place?

Chased By The Shapes Of Your Fever Keeps On Moving The Sails

just wait
until the room is
spinning
put your arms
into my hands
the carnival is driven
from the rain
and colors
and your name
are all I
I can
think of
as usual,
but perhaps
it comes
as some surprise
in the waning hours
some rhythm
and some
flowers.

2 years coming in the headlights

something just beyond always shimmering,

just inside the well of a dream...

Sound Easily (Hertz Topography)

how easily nostalgia
turns into
rage
one setting
becomes broken
the radio
no longer tunes
in
to anything
lost
in am
noisephonia
hertz topography
silence laden
with some
sound
anyway, immortal
endless it seems
constant instead
like dreams
skipping from
one point
to another
and then
>gone<

None So Much As Children Inside The World

we are singing
of joy and pain
at the point
of birth
red letters
blood ladders
she is calling
and crying
mother and father
and nothing but
great pain over
and over we are
all washed through
with unfolding drama
and strain.
with knowledge
lead by a shaman
careful for the fallout
mindless words
famine in the nuclear shelter
lost words and soul
before the drought.

Unfolding Tomorrow Machines

everything goes
 from nothing to nothing
two states of unbeing
with some static in the middle
ground out sourced
made without machinery
without
a sound
we survive
thinking
we came from somewhere
and we love believing
we are all going somewhere
forgiveness never comes
there is no water
left to wash us
in the last hours
when the candle flickers
parades of ticker tape
ending with a
final call.

A Change In The Unwritten Script

clues for archelogist
a story to be told
in the removed
a vacuumed truth
all for saving face
and a bleak reply
with a side
of cold gullibility

a sick street
slick polished avenue
a memory of an old \place
washes over senses
the fragrance of loosened
moorings
slips lost
the long coast and
men that disappear
into transparent sailors
veiled appraritions
painted canvas beauties
now
illusions
broken free with
momentous speed
with soaring primrose-colored wings
that gather us fumbling
eventually
to sleep.

Shuffle Off

all children
make mistakes
life is hard
place your bets

try to understand
play the game
no end in sight
no matter
how well you
play your hand

no son
or daughter
no sun or moon
laughing inside
the clamber just fading
seagulls and gannets
shoot from awkward
malarkey to dream skies
why can't you leave it all
I don't know.

what sun is unmade
unreal
dreams are
a dime a dozen
and a real steal
how can you win
in this?
I don't know

a game built for losers
dancing with scissors
like this one
Cut it short
or keep singing
is that the danger
bell and an orange glow
wringing its hands
in time slowed
I don't know

Love is like a gate
slammed with force
with both of us
on one side
full of arrogance
the thought of leaving
too strange for words
even an empty evening
imperceptibly concealed
is not wrongly articulated
behind some ancient force field
we all eat with spoons
come clean in
the fabric and an elan
dreamed about with
sympathy
shuffle off to some hidden
corridor
see you in
some other place...

Consume Perpetual Sea

we're down
like deep sea
like flying saucers
landing
underwater
we don't get around
much anywhere
up where they
still breathe the air

we swim
still equally
spread over the surface of
all things wet
we don't care of the sky anymore
we're blue
and down deep inside
we've got a watery fortress
and strange powers
and old books with
no pages staged like
spoken pinter
plays in
witty 1960s London
we'll go
dressed in white
and cordoba black
silver clouds
names changed into nouns
here comes no one
have some flowers
it all goes black
the sea is never slack
death remembers
to go back
everything dry and of
the land goes back
the last whip of the film ending swings
like Townsend's arm in
a perpetual future dream.
sell it all
tickets for the
lost carousel
wooden laughing
horses rising and singing
your name
before the flames
consume.

Face Fading On the Western Ridge

a hundred new feet
without a name
clear but different
not connected
in no books
not the same
turned away
no named
with such strains happy
the man he says
happier than a whisper.
