Absinthe

Clown
I pause
over the green
to add
the spare change
to my pile
of teeth.

Last Sip
Bitter beer
at the end
of the glass
a long journey
forgotten

Tower
Do you pour
tears over
the wound
over an ocean
of loss?
Beacon in
the night
wave the
white flag
and dive
beneath
the rocks.

Hours
I forgot
how to tell you
that I love you
everyday

Four
what pain falls
from only
s clover
of time

Bath
spread the honey
the warm bath
waits
to press its lips
upon the cold.

Smoke
No pour
followed by
the red
absence
we bravely sit
by the edge
and wait
in the dim
brief moments

Unity

Play
Closets bare
the summer
rolls near
on countless waves
of ocean breaks
and melodies set
with glass hands

Winter
When speed
runs in
catch it fast
hold the pressure
down
close to
the lungs
and wait
to dive.

Delicate
easily
spoiled
the fine china
upon the
careful shelf

bottle
do we
remember bitter?
The images
that it creates
solid and fresh
as if
rolled in the dusty
memories
of small things

Kind
Be sweet
No more pressure
allow for pauses
and the collected thoughts
to ramble
and roll
be sweet.

Molly
curly
the red runs
brave and small
through the
open field

Suicidal
I never
thanked you
for sitting
with me
as the fire
rose
before I
discovered
that I
was fire proof.

Plain

Precious 8
Fall
from the fact
treat yourself
kindly
and settle in
with a warm blanket
a good book
and the possibility
of sleep
Tea at a stand
still
waiting for
the next dreams
to roll their way
to you.

Squander
never fall
keep strong
even after
all of the
money
is gone
and those
that said
they would
stay forever
departed
after the
final call

The first jar
is pennies.
don't believe them
they lie all of the time
Quarters
are at least
a little bit better
they give you
some kind if warning
(to be continued)...

Dwell
Far free
the covers clutch
that grace
which walks
seldom through
those pious
lands

DNA
We sit
in a burden
of copies
before
wondering why
seldom how
we exist
but for a mire
string of cells

Legend
Secretly
a mystery
unfolds
between the
tales told
and the truth

lock
pausing
he secured
the door
there was
no time
to stop
for what
remained.

brutal

souls
we ponder
close by
palm to palm
the quick
and free
open to
exploration
and dreams
of clouds
running
in search
of the
bright
light

5:44
how poor
we that make
demands
on course
we appear
blind
but the cause
of death
is simple

Tin
remember
beats
how fresh
and new
escape
the convicts
the mental
asylum
and reach
borders
without cover

Siren
does one
excuse
the Big City
for pouring
over their
cloudless day?

rocky
drifts of
wild birds
the noise beats
like broken wings
begging for food
on an endless
descent
towards madness

19
Flesh thick
and rubber felt
still staring at the wall

Imagination
careless books
how they make
reality seem wrong

Tests

Mesh
when I dream
I dream
in color
even though
I'm colorblind

Habit
How do you
see so clearly
through the
falling rain?
When the darkness
comes again
they will be
beating at your
door.

Mistake
There is nothing
sweet
about failure
it is deep trenches
it is the hole in
the Earth

Chief
The meadow
conjures
an image
of yellow tulips
and you
young and happy
running through
your forever
home

No you don't
When the balance comes
the tricky
will seize
what they can
and fists
of fortune
will Glow

Old
Give me
the sorrow of flesh
turned to wrinkles
on a
hot
summer day

Voyage
wound tight
the blood passes
against the pores
as the thrill
of death
arrives

purple

single
born
brain beat
down
saliva
in the afternoon
holding onto
white
cotton
sheets
before we
die
a small
short
death.

swim
Begin
with balance
fit
down
the wall
hands high
swinging vines
on a cold
summer day
drop

nerve
Bi-boom
drive home
with secret
curiosity

give
one moment
made by tears
the soil
fresh
with weak
hands.

Increase
Putting together
small
sticky
pieces
up against
the letters
of age

Nod
Click
the game
smoke
the rat
finds a hole

Burden
The home
wraps around
the feet
pulling at
the ankles
shred down
to the bone
by spirals
and
centerpieces

Gynocopter

mine

silly 

little 

girl

swatting flies

keep moving

hands

over eyes

We hear

the screams

from the 

house

and do 

nothing

Child

Gold

swept away

under fresh

burners

high in 

the mountains

with what

down towards

the beforehand

four or five 

years forgotten

source

break by

the upper crust

taking possession

of the night

bringing them

home

wire turned

sealed kisses

remodeled

by the foot

of the bed

repair

poor dears

the window beat

empty

gasping flowers

waiting to 

be fed

through alley's

of profit

the drive

merges in

we walk

empty handed

Liar

Bull beaten

flesh bare

the red welts

of time

never healed

that everybody 

knows

check the 

trust

sell the sweat

how do 

they cry

Colorado

the snow

follow us

home

under the table

We hide

buried in wheat

and lead

by folded 

hands

carefully square

Fight

the can

it rolls

down and up

the back track

silky smooth

how active 

do we run

Overkill

horror
when i was small
and younger
so much younger
than I am
now
it was easy
to believe
so easy
to find
in my
imagination
the answers
all lined up
in a row
but I
could never focus
long enough
to realize
the thoughts
inside my head
age
has given me freedom
to let
the monsters
come out

The clock
Tick
the hand 5 turns
quarter of
all around
dimly lit
in  a bright room
full of broken
promises

Plain
heavy looks
cold string beans
on a dark
wooden plate
the fork
drifts over
but does
not pierce

Sick
patch
to send out
into the world
again
the miracle
of a beating heart
and a
clear
mind

Strange
sweep aside
this anger
of things
different
and odd
collect the wind
complete the canvas

Thirst
I do not
desire
the hunger
that begs
for more

True
Ah yes
there are
far better worlds
But you
would not
be there
and neither
would I
so, I would
prefer to stay
here with you

Shed

A moment of thought

Break

into the nothing

collect your

dirt

and scatter

on

into the wind

Soulmates

take me in

deep to 

the depths

there is 

no telling

how much time

we have

but I know

that I want 

to spend it

with you

Opossum

the small

trappings

closely knit 

lovebirds

that fly

at each others

side

never fearing

that they

will rescue

each other

in 

the end

Griffon

The constant

collective

rain

it pours down

with concentration

giving way

to rebirth

how the tables

bond

and waver

in the sway

of favor

and the pity

of red

Adores

We make plans

We stumble

in short steps

before gravity

grabs us

back up again

and reminds

us

that it is

alright

to fall

Sleep

Do we dare

dream

the dream

of impossible

wishes?

Can we make

them true?

Stay alive.

Beating heart.

And everything

will have 

a purpose.

Big

those

these bright lights

pass

curving

into blackness

a solid quiet

with no rush

the stuff

of stillness

beat

beat

breathe

bend

drift

Marc......:)

Met a fan tonight.....Marc, is you are out there....message me.....:)-hj

Guide

Close
will it
be the last
ringing phone
time questioning
over and over
will it
be the Last
Will you be
the one?

Venture
This cold unknown
venturing nowhere
speeds in shape
this process
clean and handy
creeping up
the walls
all empty
skirts
the ruffling of fabric
then silence

Dark
bitter winds
the cold calm
of a lovers face
made into a grim
and ghostly wail
Lock the door!!!

Monster
Do you forget
this strange beast
that comforts you
at table's end?
sweet smiles
all round
before the smirks
begin

Hood
sink
into the red
billowing cloth
of a child

music
mire mortals
vanish through walls
and cut women
in half
we never see
their slight of hand

alive
how does
one cast
a shadow
on someone who
has never lived?

glitter

orange
it nods
forward
pressing palms
to face
hold steady
bring

Measure
Did it hurt?
Fields of glass
Closet squared
the crushing nightmares
of past fears
blow by blow
beat by beat
inch by inch

Moonshine
Sip
bury the rock
deep
to the core
incisors curved
twirl up
through the cloudy
sidewalk
hole in my head
falling apart
the drifting shore
pay for protection
bodies
in the ground
how evil
the smell

Slick
stuck
trying to forget
the power
of the mind
wondering why
piles of dust
curving
high
as a roof
there is
an endless
supply
purging
purging
forward

feed
down to
the carpets
of land
there pours
an even flow
pull the plug
bend the needle
high
fuck with me
i'll show you
it hasn't been
that long
squeeze the hand
handle
with
care
bring

food
begging
for the dirt
it brings
such peace
across
the yards
of land
that call
I'm sorry
in sweet words
only comforted
by the wisdom
keep comfort
in the dwelling low
retreat
deep
into the woods

trust
remember
you were almost
put away
for a very
long time
make the most

screw the rest

lungs
stop
the
blood
beats
to
the
heart
and
the
brain
keeps moving
keeps thinking
before
the bitter end
descends
and all
goes quiet

Life
that reckless abandon
we call fear
press onward
there is
a happy ending

energy
I take in
all of
my surroundings
there is proof
ironic
in the atmosphere
that draws
all around us
focus

together
the women
rustle
under leaves
blanketed
by trees
on the
underpass
we drink wine
through straws
and talk about
the week
nothing changes
only the broken
silence
in the room
bends

speck
Power
the voice
rules
the world

spring
Flood
down
holy halls
bend and turn
in balance
to
the machine.

Decay

How the pestilence

begins

before the meat

goes sour and cold

how we drown.

Grieve

Day

how warm

the end

like

rushing silk

and you say

how sorry 

everyone feels

hot pain

Alone

Nestled down

the curvature

of her spine

calling her

absent hands

caught in 

the dark

underneath

layers of blankets

the night calls

crying

a wrong number

called

in the middle 

of the night

with no

answer

Sympathy

They press

past shadows

that drift

in short waves

how sad

their endless faces

misery

that yearns

for a tender

touch

Forever

The glen calls

sweet nectar

honey from the vine

We do invite

Banshee

How silent

the ringing beasts

that call

with force

through

the woods

precious ears

do hear

their final

calls

Peace

When the world

grows quiet

Freedom

wakes up

Burp.

Jackson
I will miss him
beyond the words
of my own heart

Will
kick the dead
wipe their tears
molded by grief
the large brims
of black hats
caught in the sun
escaping wild
and free
from a
courageous
life.

Dune
Bury the beast
that lives split
deep in
the sand
suffer
the consequences

Stare
Powerful love
how determined
to keep
the happy pure
and free
from harm
cannot help
but
be kind.

Unknown
Your soul
if there is
a soul
if there can
and if there is
a place for a soul
where souls are born
and harvested
until they are
deposited
your soul
sparkles in
the eye of
the sun
and of
mysteries.

Halloween
It's not
It's never
a question
of how to
or when to
it's the relative
answer
that sends fear
down the bravest
of spines.

Decay
Press scarlet
all cloudy
into a smile
brimming with fear.

Next weekend....:)

MOT (Myriads of Thought) taking this weekend off....will be back next weekend with tons of new stuff and an extra long show.....:)....:)

Linger.

Letters

The flick

of the screen

patterns on mist

of lovely things

quite usable

over the course

of years gone by

what we adore

becomes forgotten

and all those words

things of the past

The Path

Old man

how I love him

he will

be missed

Trust

Hey!

It's alright

White picket fences

with tall green 

grass

forgotten memories

it's so foggy

where he might be

some clear indication

an all knowing sign

from the curious streams

of continuous thought

tighter and tighter

it goes

before the balloon 

breaks

Picture

I stay

seated at

an empty table

the rushing water

taking over

pushing chairs

and plates

I am full.

Destiny

There is a place

drifting seas

of wondrous time

how happy hands lead

keep sharp

young one

Madness

Clumsy

stall backwards

rushed by

the wind

a furious 

disease.

Journal

The red string

caught lovingly

holding place

between the fabrics

of this world

and the next

while I drift

into dream

Petal One.

Bite

The sun

won't melt

we bathe

in molasses

to keep

the sweet

out

and all the

problems of

the day

surround

our tubs

like fire

ants.

Okay

That letter - nothing

Those pictures -nothing

nothing was there

they were empty

Stop! (check) got it!

Caution

I am nervous

what if

they don't

like me

be myself

but who

am I?

Reboot

Every week

close my eyes

allow the waves

to surface

feeling more

in control

everyday

lucky to be.

Bullet

Haven't the voices

scared him?

Lurking

in the middle 

of the night

with an open 

chest

Eat

Plastic eyes

Plastic nose

how it gleams

in the small

particles

of sun

that bake

and fry

loose in 

the wind

stop the fork

from pressing onward

its journey made

by the passing 

of thumbs

over a long

windy road

Groove

Power lines

the flightless

birds

that rest

pink

on the waters

edge

the fish swim

by their feet

and flop

towards shore

water in 

their veins

from diamond 

petals

in the 

swamp.

He stands
cursed

drawn out
by the light
only clear
in his eyes
which show
intent
still the fear
holds close
no air
no light
rush of the brain
dive into
the cruelty

OCD
Don't promise
what is left
unsaid
these whispers
in drawn corners
strangled by
deep dark wood
long hallways
and distant clouds
focus
there is no
stopping force
accept yourself

Strip
Go limb by limb
broken back words - paused

Bus
Hide inside
the blossom
beneath the wings
of the fallen
beast
clean cut ribs
torn from
the heart
how we beg
for the end
to come
and the silence
to recognize
us
tip the keys
and level
the house

Perfect
There is
no door
only a window
which plays
piano
and sings songs
in low decibels
there is no surface
only imagination
which floods
down walls
of backwards stairs
and pulls apart
buildings
in the deepest sleep
of time

Royal
I tap
at the keys
as they speak
dark grey
and silver
I carry you
without a proper
case
I will not
desert you
you have been
and will be
a faithful companion
a true blue
friend
when tears have taken over
and the sun - seems oh so far away.

Search
The pores
of the floodlights
drift melancholy
over waves
of restless speaking
cool hands
comfort the weak
in a rise
to glory
where many
run away
by and by
back to the end
where there
are no more questions
only the thin lips
of all the answers in the world.

Follow
Oceans fill
with the prune
of fingers
golden orange
shriek over palm
tender night
rolling carpet
onto floor
swim into
a be led

Four
Morning
up with the dawn
the shuffle
of nails
on tile
please stay asleep
don't wake up
just yet
Cold blackness
pours
another cup
as the cold
rushes inside
never stopping
only starting
with mixed
eyes

Trap
silver beats
pure and true
from the end
of a pistol
it lays
against the ground
curled into
a ball
injured from
the shot
down the lights
lock the doors
there are more
outside
lying in wait
in the blue
woods.

Image
cannot sleep
I see it
every time
I close
my eyes
fire under
my veins
I see it move

Razor
Cut.
The first word learned
do not forget
the sharp prick
of metal
to turn
wild.

Amongst the dread
Tender Tower
steam through
the sides
of caution
pour devoted milk
deep into
the wells
of life
from grapes
of purity
to the honest
snow
falling above
a faint breeze
a crushed feather
and more legends
to come

Chapter 128: "Will you go halfsies on a butt plug with me?"

Dig deeper.......

Look
Moon

cold

pinch tonight
into the words
stroll midnight
off

Mars
hoops hot
drugged spot
father

how serious
the ridged
surface

Door
How to hold
a good man
unknown
collect
the silence
small
and
simple
draw
and point
shoot the gun
repeat

Cradle
open
the darkness
Fragile

Preacher
rage

better
the place
which you stand
there is nothing
without an empty
hand

Hunt
Self
the short coming
of eggs
bent broad
in the stuff
of nightmares

the creatures
spoke from
empty words
sleeping heavy
the cautious
bleeding how
we speak
turns on
regrowth
turns on
sorrow
sweet
the music
curved
of respect

S&M
Best
of the problems
fresh
from the mind
save dreams
for passing ships
when the water
turns black and
the corsets weep

Faint
Name
no longer
nice
worry
round
the church

Leash
Ro-mance
calls
in the night
blessed
on borrowed time
sweep
the hunger

Yellow
People
standing
on the curve
biography
of distant
cousins
climbing
the walls

Nails
Geology
wind swept
there is
no more
to think
one call
over the rocks
the rough laugh
of diamonds
gold
to the touch
laugh
over
and
down
we
roll

Sometimes
Strange
down
on the path
the written word
forgotten
smirk over
the box
of lies
rippled
in the waves

Turn
Powerful
up lead speed
level
upon
level

The calling......

Month
The blades
press tight
burn bright
silence swarms of bees

girl
Don't they run?
scared across
the field
begging
beckoning
to be heard
large and small
time and again
there is
no end
in sight
but the cool
comfort
of a warm hand
in the dead
of winter
stop the light

Car
1/2 a mile
fingers four
take
down
the grisly path
dumb doors
how cool
shake
the drink
slowly pour
pull away
and drink

Collapse
Dream
with an open
heart

twins
baked below
often run
the strange cloud
with desire
rotten
covered
corpse

Sound
Cover with plastic
buckle down
the failed words
of the common man

guide
Demand repent
suffer sin

From my night in the hospital....awhile ago......

Green

sTand 

before you crawl

remember 

Your pLace

settle

into the calm

wArm

bath

pick your 

pills

let that 

sweet embrace

that over 

and the leaves 

fAll through

Sugar

That love

sweet one

push through

the blades

of grass

pull back

the eyes

of glory

and sip

slowly 

through 

an empty cup

Torch

One eye

on the cage

downward glance

The Question

Will 

or 

won't

the pressure 

stacks

sour and sore

upon the roof

of one's mouth

unanswered

cheap

and unapproved

how delicate

We wait

for kindness

to arise

short 

from the spiget

Bark

Where is God

in this lonely place

full of 

the wonder

of neglect

the promises 

we make

keep us whole

Rush

The train

rolls through

like the whisper

of an argument

hold hands

tight 

pull

Strand

We weep

when the pain

becomes too real

Christine

It will be okay

I'm right next door

feel the eyes

bare down

when all we want

is the privacy

to mourn

The lingering letdown.

Black and white
Red is the date
sink down
alphabet letters
made of wood
veins beat
through ears
and crush
on the tile
floor.

Those of worth
How do we say
goodbye to the ones
we love?
Connect daily
harbor the distinction.

Live
Vision completely
The tall shadow lurks
how precious
stop following
the biggest excuse
frozen
move now
don't let it
interfere
focus
focus
blink.
Slide.
Slide.
Stop.
Stop.

Sleeping
Cushion down
pillow up
side left
hold-close
remote at side
It's time

Blood
There isn't
enough time
to empty
the small hollow
Keep the body
warm
until
tonight

Buried
Feel
the creeping stillness
without help
over the fence
there is
not a
(no) purpose
crawl the floor
wondering
opal

Lace
Purple
is the sun
that shines
pierced

Roll In.

Pass
sleep
sleep
and dream
of the crisp
newly fallen leaves
breaking under foot
the sweet sip
of sugar and coffee
the escape of the day
Wandering the streets
by midnight
turning superhero masks
Focus
everything is springing
to life
in the days
that follow

Measure
Sift through
the trash
lost
the golden ticket
peace an empty stone
high on the wall
until the sun
burns bright
there is no room
in the house
that has not been
covered
nothing unturned
but the small gasp
of a short stack
of sand.

Blister
present
to slow to rain
over the cover
of night
begging
for the small
inconsistencies
parted ways
back and forth
the land
downhearted
nestled deep
into the Earth
how to close
the beams of light
breaking the surface

Benefit
Blinding down
the shape
echoes
bring back
the light
down on
the pack
fresh water
the black soot
scrapping down
over green leaves
full
we bare witness
to the collection
of
the few

Molten
Fresh furnished
born down
face in the mud
no rapid descent
only tears now
as we steam
towards darkness.

Sewer
Flop forward
the sense
of the gun
how do we float?

Extinct
There are no more.
Short stacks of smoke
drifting.

AWESOME SHOP!!!!!!!!

Linger....

Design
The glistening salt
swept back
oh how lovely
the lost
pass poorly through
the bending backs
and curving winds
of the impossible
courage
is a strange creature
to pass the time
with
only hope
that the pain
is replaced
by dignity

Sin
Fester
forged in stone
it is the cruel
heart
that never obeys
Red light
down a broken hill
we curse
what we do not
understand.

Crush
Plaid pulled
picnic
first kiss
fall

01 
Push the pattern
Press the hips
alert
alert
pull the plug
run
until the screams
stop
pound the voices
make them stop
how to drown
shift
shift
hang the boundless rope
there are
no careful fools

Pause
How secret
do we pass
the temple
title and all
games of stress
produce
the space
evolve
in the imagination
evolve
the conclusion
misfit all
reject the normal
play down
towards the very
edge

To smile
Bring up
the empty lip
fill the heart
with joy
the teeth
spread wide
the canvas
of the face
how quickly
we forget how

Gravity
Nervous
the part where
the hair twirls
and stops

Is it safe?

Sundays
Pass the time
wander down
skip rocks
off the clear
cool
pond
write slowly
and with careful
thought
to the placement
of words
and nestle in
close
at night
to the one's
you love.

smoke
Big dark
eyes
long lashes
that blanket
the skin
what lies deep
stored
in the brain
focus
remember
can it be clearer?
which sound
brings
the coolness
of night
drunk
to bed.

immortality
what bargaining tool?
what plan?
what plot?
steam press pigeon
the stirring
of the nimble sheets
pressed to
the lips
of youth
How much?

hope
True
hold on
fear not
strange creature

symbol
i come
from the
dredges of
the Earth
and I pass
to the spirit.

Tie
Use -
the worst weapon
there is nothing painful
about freedom

Run
dirt the roads
it's time.

Roar.

Silence
What do I do?
I don't understand
bare down
bite the tongue
swallow the words
force the mouth
to close
the spies watch
from a crowded room
too bitter
to speak
perform the tasks
or suffer
the consequences
brutal hands
make men weep.

ape
often
the wind travels
back-before-again
to the start
of page one
of the prologue
the discussion
would have ended
there
in that brimey swamp
where all that breath
met their end
but
those that rise
caught glimpse
halt way sun

Sift
Come quietly
hold your head high
through the angry crowd
there is nothing here
but fear.

Alone
Black eyes
the whites lost
to starvation
and there
we
stand.

Vision
Keep your heart high
there are wolves.

The small percent
Pardon
those hungry
who stand
at the gates
with longing
in their eyes
we have
no food
that we want
to share.

Hearse
tired eyes
cry the cry
of the dead
and beat down their doors
with crystal panic.
