at a distance
as it likes to be
it can see for eons
but when
touch is exchanged
for sight
it will be
absent
the light

Cuddle
staggers inn
what is thought to be
love illustrious flower state
gaudy and
godly the dogs are
attracted to the decay inside
hollow bellied for the maggots
profluent life cycles little things perpetuating
i couldn't see you
eyes emerge from the skull as sun
spots a willow weeping loss
ratios in jars of formaldehyde
cuddles with a pillow at night
and imagines sometimes
that
it is an
angel

A Stevie
Destroyer of the apex
To tear out his eyes
They serve no purpose
But how will he know if he's happy?
The warmth in him
Having vanished
Years ago
His body
Teetering on the ledge
Of a freeway over-pass
Indisposed
Arms spread
like a crucifix
The sun behind him
Like an orange shotgun blast
The wind
Pushing against his body
Happiness
In the roar
Of the engines below
Heaven
Is not
A place
To tear out his eyes
They serve no purpose
But how will he know if he's happy?
The warmth in him
Having vanished
Years ago
His body
Teetering on the ledge
Of a freeway over-pass
Indisposed
Arms spread
like a crucifix
The sun behind him
Like an orange shotgun blast
The wind
Pushing against his body
Happiness
In the roar
Of the engines below
Heaven
Is not
A place

Baby Blue
Oh music
How I wish I could be you
And not
Me
Because you make sense
All things
As instruments
To measure ourselves
Breath giving life to woodwinds
Fingers dancing on strings
A living prayer
A living weakness
The ether
Took her baby blues
Right out from my skull
And how the years would hide her
From me
Those baby blues
Would surface from a mirror
I am affraid of doubt
And the ideas
Idle thoughts become
Even if
They're only in my mind
It says something
For my mental state I'm sure
There is too much contempt
In me
And
There is no music
How I wish I could be you
And not
Me
Because you make sense
All things
As instruments
To measure ourselves
Breath giving life to woodwinds
Fingers dancing on strings
A living prayer
A living weakness
The ether
Took her baby blues
Right out from my skull
And how the years would hide her
From me
Those baby blues
Would surface from a mirror
I am affraid of doubt
And the ideas
Idle thoughts become
Even if
They're only in my mind
It says something
For my mental state I'm sure
There is too much contempt
In me
And
There is no music

Baroque
Like the finger
Likes to linger
Lies white strung
Tethered to impediment
Predicts the day it will fall
Curvature of the finger
Stinger
Dreamer
Linger on Oberon
Coal clean vision everything
Window frost loveliness
Cataract sphere machine
Orbits itself unseen
Cool cost of anything
In its iris turned venom
Fatigued in a dream
Burning rose and jasmine and
Velveteen

IX
I thought I saw you in the moon
But it was just sex through an opened window
And i am a voyeur
And for a second
I can smell your fragrance
Your signature scent
And theremins rise
And I can see you
That you are galaxies
Through a telescope
And that I am exhaust fumes in a closed garage
I am eyes yellow like phlegm
I am bubonic
I am revelations
I am brightly colored centipedes
In an opened palm
I could part the light bulb from its fixture
And learn to feel
All over again
