I'm the substance that keeps a soldier ready for battle

I'm the shit that keep the heat poppin,stick,move,tackle

When the shit gets hot,drop,roll,shake,rattle

She appears with the Gods! In coconuts and grass,

 

Steals white of glorious light

In vivacious ivory untied,

It is the beginning of the end of the beginning, the final push homeward is born in pain with sweat whimpers and an extraction from contractions. A bed cries out loudly lying in the pain of insanity and in-between worlds where very little consciousness remains.

Many dark afternoons.

 

Of skies filled with clouds,

Banging and bowling out thunder.

 

Pouring down rain.

 

A mother sobbing.

As time flies by

the monk preaches night and day

that to live in the present

is the way to bliss


A small boy seemed confused

the monk asked why

he asked could you explain

the 'present' again?

To Life:

Bon Appetite

Remember sour makes the rest taste sweet

Some mornings I’ll lean against the sun

By evening I'm up to my ass in dung

As soon as you think you understand life

Never brushing sleeves to arms,

they stand side by side

simply warming their hands near the orange flames.

Staring at the burning logs,

locking a gaze with anything to avoid each other’s eyes.

We are but crystaline wine glasses

Under a mad man's hammer.

Such beautifully splintered fragments-

Falling into place at our

most inconvinient moment.

In the canyons above time

I breathe through my heart

While drinking in red rhyme

But there’s a wind a whirling

There’s a storm a swirling

In the center of an unforgiven soul

Not fully aware,

Our minds elsewhere.

An interesting kiss,

Somewhat forbidden

Not thinking clearly

Stop. Stop. Stop.
