I descend
I return
Coming back
I return
To Earth
Banished
God’s last
Banished
Final
Final
I return
I return
To Earth
I return
I return
To you
Mock turtleneck
Lit candle
Licking melatonin
From your fingertips
And stepping onto rosin
Our bedside shrine
Don’t laugh at me
Three more sets of fang marks
In my night guard
Show me the light in your bedroom
I promise it did not hurt that much
Another wet reflection
End of an era
The end of an arrow
Great big wet reflection
Weeping out a blast beat
In the grocery store
Another wet reflection
Another wet reflection
Another wet reflection
Merritt was right
Weakness policy

Radical Love
01:14
|

I exist in deep time now
I bloom like magma
In centuries, not seconds
Time will leave its shadow
And I will remain
Back on Earth
S***** C*****
Transforming in secret
Traveling, becoming
In secret
Madame Butterfly
And I
Caterpillar
Dead beside the chrysalis

Out in the garden
Resting among the cucumber vines
No one understands
The hangman’s despair
The servant and the service rifle
All pain, no feeling
All hurt, no healing
Another perfect day
In Rumpelstiltskin’s grotto
|

Eating My Feelings
02:28
|
|||
I swallow your handful of earth
I prepare for our correspondence
My gut full of soil
From the ground beneath your colosseum
One arrow to betray me
One thousand to destroy me
I make the battlefield my home
Saint Sebastian
Bolted into place
Cursed, poisoned and shot full of a thousand arrows
I shamble on
G-d’s personal pincushion
Fall on your knees!
O, hear the angels laughing

Burning your wrists
In the fire pit
Dressed in all jet black
With contact mics
Talismanic bottle opener
Ice cream stegosaurus
Illuminated for no one
A week without poetry
I hold you in my hands
For three lines a day
All them tweets
And all them likes
Mean nothing
Without you
I pieced together the slivers
I’m admitting this to you now
I hope my water shoes
Rot through the floorboards
Call me Deacon Power Electronics

Water Weight

Slow honeybees in winter
Broken man on display
For all the children of the world
Do you see me falling apart?
All this
so you can live the way you live
Staring into one another
Souring the bath water
Together
And watching the mystery
Run down the drain
Do you see me falling apart?
Just another afternoon
Watching the hornets
Invade the air conditioning unit
We all heal through a hole
|

There is no longer any reason for me to be alive. Goodbye

Halo Jump

Time rolls out before me
Rising and falling
Crashing down in a new city
I fall to earth at night
I pray for the death of everything in my life
No one is waiting for me
|

Urgent Caring

One day
Years from now
When they finally drag the LA River
They’ll use you as a net
Just as I had dreamed
And one day
Many years sooner than that
They’ll drag the East River
And find me there
Waiting for you
|

I plunge my battle-battered hands
Into your geranium garden
I tend to our memories
I cultivate them like hobby trees
Maintaining the joy
And in return
They bloom for me poison sumac
Another perfect day
In Rumpelstiltskin’s grotto
|

Every Kilo A Teardrop

Caligula and the Colosseum
Joan of Arc on trial
Sisyphus and the boulder
The chastity of Saint Agnes
Saint Agatha and her tits
Saint Sebastian and the sewer
Stephen King and the Listerine™ bottle
Yukio Mishima’s reflection
Dracula in his castle
Dr. Frankenstein and the lightning bolt
Anna and her lover
Mark and his pistol
Perseus with the head of John the Baptist
Mozart and the standing ovation
Pasolini and the automobile
Truman and the television
Mother Nature’s long overdue revenge
The rope of time
Is burning at both ends
Choose carefully
Which end you snuff out first
