The Passage

Waiting for the airlift ride to the north

A journey south begins with the journey north

I was Shanghai ' ed by consent and will be delivered by Scaramouche

No alcohol,  no music, no glory and no pay

May the captain be human and fellow crew the same

And please, wild ocean, choose to be tame

Forever Stamps

Forever stamps have been bought and tucked away

I've written the letter, signed it, and licked the envelope

Wondering if the adhesive is filled with cockroach eggs

I swallow my inoculated saliva, and seal the envelope with a fateful determination

The words will hatch in the mind of the receiver the same as the baby insects that will be born in my brain

I will become something different and so will the receiver

Thoughts of the sender born into the brain of the one that opens the letter

Parasitic words turned to feelings if I can only find those fucking stamps I paid for...

The Meal

The living drink is bubbling

Filled with tiny animals, I drink it

I eat and swallow those things that intoxicate, and I stare at the bleached wall

Sun baked flaked and bleeding, the dead steak of time is salty and rare

And filled with a nourishment of soul...or at least some level of spirit

Maybe domesticated beyond hope I'll pass along its form as wild and free

Free to die in the fresh air with visions of sun light and sky or evening stars

A full moon will shine somewhere in the Universe

Illuminate the eye...the wild eye of that which cannot be eaten

Sinewy, tough and everlasting of something nameless

A Life Found


The numbers fall from the clock and melt on the floor

A checkered past as we grey no more

A timeline wind chime plays out a song

The noisy sing but the words are all wrong

It isn't the truth to make up the sound

But to hear the rhythms...

 a life will be found

The Windy Hand

Molded to windward and swiped with the windy hand
All living things are pushed along
Staggering to the lifeless energy of swirling movement, fire and sound
Artless beauty curved to the windy grin
And all is blue, white and green
Grey
Black
Red
And purple hues of everything imaginable
Everything in between is space for more or none
And the firm stance of the living will bend
