the art of subtextual yearning

today i wish, not pray, it seems the lesser, to not seem greedy, and hopeless, and merely terrified some days.....strange, that. Sep 28

Work in Progress Working Title "Have Mercy"

HAVE MERCY (working title)

There are two kinds of children. The first assumes the rabbit that leaps through the low beams risking life itself does so for the keening surge of adrenalin and the joy of arriving alive on the other side. The second child knows what is chasing them through the tall grass to the edge of the road is worse than the bright thunder of death under the tires.

I am the second child.

Mama was born in 1944 as one war was ending. She is the first child. I was born to wear t… Continue

I'm going to bed now

and watch two movies.

Ice Age if you are at all curious, One and Two so I may be adequate and informed
when I eventually rent the most recent of the trilogy. I secretly love talking animated sloths.

The anesthetic qualities of an excellent German Riesling

ignore my pleas
I'm not in my right mind

I'm in my left
I get stuck in here, door kinda melts

inaction is an action
vroom vroom

that means I lay perfectly still
let the waves crash over

skin, you must scrub it
in a shower of flowers

til you gleam and tingle
til water is lover

and master and slave
perfectly still, stoned silly

singing in your head
humming

love songs, long-gone songs
lulla-palooza bye-bye songs

yea
yea- yeah yeah ya-ya

forget me, and my pretty pleases
forge… Continue

smoke and daisies

A gray day
I need flowers
and sex
and ice cream
and morphine
and new boots
and a fast car
I need to drive
to the ocean
to the mountains
to the flat edge
of the world
I need to to gun it
the engine
make it scream
while I laugh
and drive off
catch a current
surf it
to eventual stoned

I don't think
(that's a problem)
I will live very long
not much longer
things are dying
all around me
like omens
the grass
the flowers
sere
one match baby
one match
a fire storm
fire
is so beautiful
holy, ancient
pur… Continue

Singe (song lyrics)

I forget to breathe
such an essential thing, I know
Inhale you come, exhale you go
systemic love, amid the throes
of dying slow

have mercy pretty please
my host of possibilities,
she's a secularity, sweet and 23
who am I, to even pray
we feed our young
we pale, we waste away

paper thin, paper white, paper weights
my days and nights

I've no words left, no words right,
you intercede, we call the fight

on primal technicalities
assuming Darwin's always right

I was that girl
I was that dance, of… Continue
