we all (little abominations) are
building marvelous things thinking
o yes we are magically
important
and hoping buried underneath in
our innermost id that possibly our

in spring we are trees ( Read more... )

fragrantly in corners clutching
the permanence of growth and
the subtlety of color
blooms
five petals
and leaves
and stem growing
and Being:
the pride of flower beds embodies
the eternity of growth
the finite span of life
the perfection of creation
and
the futile reach for beauty
(we're all of us blooming
reaching
wilting
being)

not one of us bargained for this;
fortress You and rampart I became
We Vulnerable and unarmored.

if i think
in aluminum
& reason
in tin
no whitesmith
could sell
my wares
(sterner stuff
is needed for
housewives
and husbands)
my tins
are dented
(i think
fraile foil)
cast iron
thinkers are
vital and
strong but
my mind is feeble
and useless

beast your teeth
are ready for me
my bones are ready
for you but
in the moments i
fill the cavities in
you i'd ask please
kill me quickly

panic your fists
are ready for me
my eyes are ready
for you but
when i'm caught in
the throes of
you i'd ask please
render me sleeping

i am dry
and full of salt
and shriveled from the sun
and from the ken that
Me and I
no longer are as one
but seperately
two entities
split, halved
and two from one
do dwell in dischord
under skin
and war
amid my bones

and Me and I
both seperately
and on four bended knees
pray pleading
through eternity
to reconcile
and Be

Columnar you and
Rooflike I, we addled
With sleep and dreaming build
Fantastic(ally) spirals
Of castles and trees
All sleeping until
Up sun thou
Destroyer of cities and trees
Rose a holocaust
In disguise

the liquidity of water exists
under skin on top
of bone and curls
in fluid eyes and steps
permeates the being of you
and me we water born
and as dry, we constant as water
in puddles and pools
and endless as oceans
