A collection of twenty....

Witch
I am
an imagination
swarmed hives
of 
black
faded grass
silk rubbing
trudging above
cold water
pressing 
coffins
a dead
mans kiss
sweep through 
the rubbish
torn
and 
black
and 
blue
press
your lips
wet
against the flesh
and 
rise.

Drowned
Warmed up
suit of armor
gold tulips
plunged hot
against the
sweet sweeps
of honey
plastic
snapping 
neck
the 
slow
burn
wrists swallowed
by cotton
sirens
of birds
fall desperately
to the ground
the endless sound 
of peace

Thirteen
Three
the cord
breaks freely
it's 
long 
scales
beating down
the sweeping doors
of 
endless keys
rush past 
the 
squirming crowd
of 
soldiers spinning
dance in tune
holding hands
spin
lick
fungus creeps 
into the passive light

Sisters
Midnight
beer
babies swallowed
his arms 
laying 
on the ground
on the steel
crusted eyes 
of the dead
empty
your knife
quickly 
towards the 
empty bridge 
soon it will
be morning.

Wizard
Truth
tingles
the tongue
open him up
fresh heart
beating wise
now hopeful
old rocker
beaming gold
glowing
morning dew
I keep 
the car
steady
collecting dust
over 
an endless road
one square inch
at a time
into the 
poppy field.

Baby
Traveling 
on the sleek
shoulders
of those
who wander
creeping
empty
in the moonlit
room
the sweet 
smell of 
tiny collarbones
shattered
into course
grains
that flock
one mistake 
over 
another
juicy 
crypts
the organs 
of the kind
between the folds
of her legs
there is 
nothing sweeter

The Family Table
Go 
home
close
your 
eyes
pull the covers
over your head
there isn't
a place 
to hide
crawl back
into the place
that used 
to be safe
long strands
of hair
curled into
a warm kitchen sink
sweater falls
from her shoulders
glazing into
the dark
there is nothing 
to hold onto
I crawl 
into the space
between the shower
and the sink
get tiny
into that 
invisible hole
play
musical chairs
in the 
dark
the smell 
of pumpkin
and I am 
satisfied. 

22
Sneezing
in your sleep
Grandpa
awake in the night
broken windows
the beams of light
dear
tree
fruit falling
bare
breasts
the sunlight
breaking down
ravenous
the hunger
takes over
grind
front
and 
back
hips against
waist
pleased to free
life rushed smoke
the hands 
of a man 
man
rush kind.

Alarm
Strawberry
soap
half bottle
of wine
dipping into 
the bubbles
caught down
spiral staircases
drained 
empty
I collect 
my things
and walk away.

Everything
Beaten
bicycle
gray
against 
the soil
born 
corrupted
the 
beetles bask
millions morbid
late starts 
shadow over
ringing ears
faded in 
the actuality.  

Illuminate
Flesh carpeted dry
Number Nine following close
fresh pears in a bowl

The Keep
Search
the woods
dig
the married man
full deep
greatness
hidden
patients
wander
over fields
of golden grain
there isn't 
a place
mirror high
miracles damp
walking into
the street
alone
broken
from the night
echoing broad
beams of light
footsteps far
across the floor
interrupt the counselor
apologize
common ground
I haven't 
found 
the empty
shell
slapped red
kicked hot
mercury laws
of 
pure ground
seeds
I  plant.

Never
Bugs nest
in the frays 
of a wedding dress
Santa Monica boulevard
flower drenched
parade of lights
plan on 
a century 
ago.

Hospice
Cries
of desperation
oh you fiends 
of righteous 
anarchy
pressed 
high
horizons
blasts
of gold
I hold 
your hand
set in 
mercy.

Quick
Honey
trickled
straight
from the vine
Blue smoke
the stuff 
of nightmares
the rolling hills
peaked 
at prime
drew large 
by sleeplessness
nights weary
gentlemen
coats blazing
with steam
there sits the 
many
arms 
around 
the few
embraced
how tiny
we are.

Maybe
Voice harbored
at the corner 
of my neck
whisper 
to me
long and hard
the strings 
of your heart
humming
quick 
flow
over and over
without lies.

Render
Rings
twisted
into twine
the needles 
run sharp
branches high
the bringers come
barricade yourselves
over the walls
I brand
the seamless 
trunk
powered by luck
and not by skill
How cruel
these simple words
that he
refuses to speak
A simple offense.
tackle quickly
and pitch 
how often 
do we
fly.

Underwater
Break the branch
snap the twig
over spines
fused 
with clear
and clever 
words
All this 
is a 
game
hold your breath.

Coordinates
My recovery
speedy
the shifting 
gears
moan to sigh
tremble courage
runes turn
soft
on the careless sun
I don't 
do not
weep
how often
to refuse
engage further
for the 
small beast
mistake
flaw
empty
kind bullets 
of fear.

Corridor
How brief
the seconds
where your lips
meet mine
tremble
close
There speaks 
the truth
venturing
quick and cruel
with the softness
of a 
vipers touch
The venom soars
through faulty veins
alone
equipped for death
The wait
smooth
bouncing 
over
my tongue
quiet
hands
unavoidable
the endless supply
of oxygen
lucky
