Golems

Heavy Feather

Heavy feather
Breathe togther

Lightest weight of clearest sight
Antique hands of wrangled plans
Your hands are yours 
From long before
Inherit unique
Human trait

Heavy feather breathe togther
Mossen heather mingled measure
Mountain fountain distant sound
Heavy feather never sever
Earthly mystery and pleasure

Thank your breath for being felt
Svelt seat of ease retreat
You are yourself you're no one else
You are a seat of human sight
You are seat of living flight
You are a seat of universal home
Heavy feather never lone

Heavy feather breathe togther

Our lives are but a heavy feather
Breathe apart and breathe togther

Sensual senses let down your defenses
The earth is fair let go your care
Silver thighs for easy eyes
Breathe your breath come ease your breasts

vision of parrot bearing golden fish

Parrot bearing golden fish
That speaks:

"The several swarming 
tested heated arguments combine 
to gift themselves, courage
(Crucible forged as they were)
A useless word to look for
To know your fear but place it aside
Like the rivers and oceans the o'look the tide
That waxes and wanes
And among all these sundered planes
A striding stair we stand apon
An between we cavalier unevenly
Reaching out a tender hand to an unfeeling cosmos
Like a portrait painted on a chapel cistene 
Like a living world rendered unseen
Like a field of grass always more green
Like a loving conquest of leaving alone
Chase and unspent of it's own immortal repent
To take only the sight of what you've seen
And let be what is 
Unbesmirched
Let not the very thing you cherish
Be tainted by your own looking for it
And perhaps at it
Be confident while you live
Do not allow yourself dissemble
Before you life has even left

My favorite thing about dictators
Is the way they always die, behold
The world disposes of its own evil."

The vision ends

Journeys (I)

Journeys (I): 

Here's a cavalcade of staid
Laid back harried 
Swooping swerving herds
Buffalish Kahnian marsupial guides
Over hills and dales 
In flowing rivers of beasts 
There's an easy lift that exists
To permit a select few a view
Of their own troublesome slew

An escalator that climbs higher 
Placed strange to live in this
There's a bright white light 
That fights with night in the sky 

And the star that glows 
Also charrs your bare arms
The red earth and the rocky expanse
Have no care of what lingers here

Slather your self with soothing balm 
That keeps you safe from harm 
As the circling birds 
Call down to you with words 
That you can't understand

Journeys (III)

Journeys (III)

Steady in these swirling clouds
That give us visions betwixt 
A fitting curtain 
Of ever repeating pattern
In the smokey misty 
Clinging vapor lingering sticky 
On the side of an ancient city 
That was built at least 
Ten thousand years ago
And below 

A mountain extends 
Downward from the sky flying vessel 
That you've found yourself within 
And it could be that this here 
Sight of shallow purple cloud 
That the empty monument 
Stands proud about
Is only a mystery 
With no history 
Beyond what you yourself can stand 
On this shrouded and forbidden land

spider on rock salutes day moon

(Spider on rock
Salutes DayMoon)

There is a feverish silken cobweb
That buries itself heatherly
The simple dew
Coagulates
It forms and unforms carefully
Giving the ebb and flow of the tide
Solace and respect

The cool sweat standing on my brow
Is thrashed away 
Anxiety vanished in this 
Parsecian void
A calm that comes from simply looking
To a place
That gawps and yawns ridiculous
Even borrowing itself 
into itself
Breath remembers

Forgiveless and only with remorse
For the dispossessed
Who are humbled already
And therefore have mercy
On those cast earthly
Just as was
Milton's hero

Ghost mandolin story

Srinyx Statement


Please enjoy this poem I wrote about Pan, the goat legged mythian who represents the essence of improvisational muisic.

Pan's pursuit of the beautiful nyad Sryinx led her to cry out to the gods for help, who in their mercy transformed her into river reeds.

Pan fashioned these reeds into his famous seven tube flute.


Wilfully lists Listen 
to their own blistery 
Unsurprisingly climb
Roads loan their leanings 
keenly and see steady 
ringing singing sitting 
gifted writ a fit of buckled tricks 
stocky and blocks 
and rough and tough bunches 
of fluffy fun runners lining up 
to light the ringing windows 
blighted writing 
Fighting but not 
with fisticuff or muffled guff 
of a pistoliran unbuff stuff 
only the real flight of decadent 
thinking blinking their buildings 
bently and gently and comb 
the long stalks of rye to stand up high
And then you'll say your sighing 
And then you'll lie and think of no better feeling
And the world around will yield 
To your command
That it remain unchanged
To comfort you thus 
And have no doubt that the fount 
of real willful lists kiss and to climb back down
Can always remain sound
Be assured you were not lured
To a fate of no escape
Only a semblance of a place where you
Can remain and yet
Go away

Gentle Oppenheimer

Oh gentle Oppenheimer
What did you wring from your
Bare hands grasping voidly
Were you generous
With what you found there?

A reproof we never ask of you that you
Gave yourself so sternly yet unpunished only
An inventor
Proud in your vision of yourself as
A character in the Bhagavad Gita
"I am become..."
So that your unkindness
Might be acknowledged

Soft rains fall in hell this day and
All the used car salesmen
Frozen solid paving the way
To that gate
Thaw a little and shake as
Cool rain scalds them
In their lacklife pattern
Of mythology my own

The forest patched sparsely and its beauty
Slow eaten away by the man machinations
Like the silver hairs of einstein
Spotted with frost
Simple equations build guilt
Are we thankful for your contribution?
Do we show it with our care?

This one song is for cities
Would it be better that we flooded them
With fishes
If the people there care not for
The warming air
The rising tide
Rises and rises
And they allow themselves
Unnotice
But certainly reproof
As gentle as Oppenheimer

coral giants turn away from breasted island

Coral giants bow away 
Growing slowly calcified
They learn and lean
Green a white and bright
Troubles unremembered
These Fey events crisply
Lend their safe fingertips
And wait a dozen gilled fritters
A blob, a shock, a little mimsy

What does a piercing the surface
With a light show us?
Nothing only refractions and
Regretless energy bouncing outwardly
No shouts trouble
The folds of sand
Hands grifted lingering
On seashore of a tiny Baudelairian friend
Beneath the mamarries of the island
She who lays backwards into the sea

 - A kindness in this a kindness in this -

(Cloven hoof leaves
Faint tracings that lead
From Barrow den to sight and colour
Earthworm crawls triumphant
From the ground here perhaps)

I won't wait for a giant's step
I'll only leap yazular into a 
welcome warm liquid 
a friend of the world

I thank you Allen Ginsberg as I curse you for your evil
