skateboarding accident.

Drove the car along the water
See the smoke for miles
A coastial bled sun is not significant
Until it burns the eyelashes of every gull
Wax puddles in the parking lots
Stereophonics echo down the board walk
Like a drone distant soul
Singin' to meh:
"Couldn't keep the sweat off our backs
Couldn't eye the hair dyed girls"
Aimlessly assured to pass
Following blood stains on the sidewalks
Already-been-chewed-gum & blowing lottery tickets
Dark falls on thick like a glass case
Illuminating the sparse trees in a freaky glow
Cast out by the carnival
Played out like a horror show
Date night or night night
Go, go, go...
Spinning 'round
Till I'll hurricane vomit
And hurry home

people in front of houses.

Blue dream on the pillow like the sky and the clouds out the window. Sleep pill delirium and a quick grip of the railing on the stairwell. Checked the thermostat; lit a secret cigarette and prayed all these wrinkles away. Mirror in the bathroom painted broken and there's a glass of wine in the shower. Thought about paying bills...driving to the convenience store parking lot...no, I'll turn on the radio. Same songs I've heard since I was twelve and better. Tie my tie like a child does shoe laces. Drank a cup of coffee out of a novelty mug. Said: "Oh no it's Monday..." It's Tuesday. Work space in the work shed, craftsman of my own cubicle.
Grass is emerald green bleeding out from the gray gravel. I don't remember the last time I slept in my bed. I sleep on the couch. Should be working in a high rise. Murder-suicide, forgot to tie my tie. She's never home. I don't care anymore. Forgot to let the dog out. Hearing the ghostly echo to fix the fence. Losing my hair. Got to go to work. & just then my pen exploded.

Endless Love.

Sunsetting:
Purple

Clouds:
Dark & darker

The vines spread like:
Fire

The old church:
An appirition

Fading:
Into nothing

The streets:
Spilling people

Street lamps:
Burning oil

The time:
Meaningless

Love:
Is forever

Love:
Is forever

Spirits.

See the breath
In my chest
Exhale
:Into:
Shimmering lights
Trapped in a cloud
Of smoke
Say a whisper
For the leaving
Pull it threw with string
Sew a dream
(Sew a dream)
One last stitch
One last night
((Cold))
I feel strange
Staring out the window
((Tears))
& it's raining
Holding the umbrella
In the hallway
Watching you walk
Towards the exit
Go
Go
Gone

Passing by a Reunion.

Long severed ties
Blowing away like ribbon
In a particular gust
They'll be caught again
Acting casual
After being cruel
Till they're plucked up
By birds
Who thought they were worms.

Night Flower (Blossoming)

I stood on the hill
Till the bright moon...
...got in the way
Bastard glows to gloat
Casting deviance
In his lighted bouquets
Like a sheath upon this desert
Shadows hide my paths
And trials steer me far
Quite a coward at heart
But I promise it's all in due
To a tragic hope I'll let pass
I could win
...wait till I die
Or run away
Get lost
Escape my own...
Humility.

Day Flower (May)

I hear the song:
Through the dust fields
It echoes like a ghost
Raining; clear-blue down
To the hills
Where I wait
So anxiously;
To see you
Just listening
Feeling the wind
Carry away my past
& bring new sands, seeds
Odd moments of never knowing
When to stop
Things I never see.

cigarette death.

Echos in Hymnh
Lingering, lifeless, & dim
Caroled curses
Over a great divide
& it flows so softly;
Crashing on the embankment
Ghastly, garish, gore
Some preemptive presumption
Guiding a false redemption
On the steps of your war monument
Your battle paint smears
On a lucid sobbing face
Beg for rescue
Beg for escape
From this paradise
Based in fiction
Founded on false tradition
Another smoldering tip
Hinged on your blood lip
Exhaling for a future
Inhale for another

Glow to dust.

Glow:
I see myself.
Reflecting in the portraits
Of family members
And I'm looking down
Gunshot.
Bleeding out.
On the stairwell
Watching it pool
& going to school.
(Catching the bus)
(First day)
(So nervous)
Thinking:
Never growing up!
In my last breath
Stuck in my chest
Never coming out!
I can make it if I try.
Never gonna die!
Just always the same.
Just a stain.
Dust:

Brooder.

Blood orange cathedral
Glowing; gleaming, bleeding
On this descent into dusk
Phosperent; it's penetrating:

I so blindly wander
Through your stained-glassed doors
To your shrine of passing ego
Like songs of courage & arms
They fall as they reach crescendo
(And what to do if I should)
I drop to my knees
(With their shrieks and screams)
Bite my tounge with reckless anger
Paint my face in the rust of armor
& rise up like a tragic hero
Journey out into the desert
I'll exploit my own adventure
In photographs
& literature
I'll be the burden:
Of my own honor.
