Caught you
had to slip you grain by grain
bent with fire
wind and pain
to catch the light
and bend again.

Tranfixed by
centrifugal spin,
she sits lingering
on empty glass,
parched and ready
for the quench,
she cannot will herself
the lost excitement
of the beauty
found in empty.

Ambien cloud
of drugged bliss
I lay awake


drugged bliss
pink bedside lamp
on

pink lamp
soon darkened
I wrestle

darkened
yet dreams
allude me

dreams
in waking
time

waking
camera in-hand
snapped all night

hand on camera
Ambien cloud
photos



I'm not sure if I like this format but had fun trying it out. what do you think?

they will take you
down the magic hole
where rabbits,
if you're lucky,
will pluck your eyes
and make you whole.

when it all falls down: we are even

you talk mandalas
I stare at the cash register
you have your kundalini rising
I'm trying to capitalize on sales
you meditate all day with a ball of light
I work on entering cards into the POS system
You say the sensations are incredible and you feel transcendent
I am punching a clock wanting time off to rest from customer hustle
you are moving energy over people's bodies and minds
I am feeling jealous of you and all your spiritual dazzle
You forgive me for my ever present envy
I know there's more to my life than this
you have to get back to work finally
I realize everything turns round
You punch a clock now
I am satisfied
you suffer
like I do
shit!

Sunrise, Sunset
upon earth's green speck,
creatures dozed and dazed
musical confusion amazed.

Alpha, Omega
within infinite space a purple dot
waxed and waned
song burst forth then silence

___________Land
___________infinitely beautiful
___________in my glass


all paint on canvas
splattered about
bubbles in the goblet of life
here, there,

___________never where

exploring the circles
of our circuitous
existence

I loved your poem and the format so I played as well I hope this is okay

my cortex
I do love Obama
political lift

___________expand
___________ever so dutiful
___________never let a good thing pass


all spirit and sass
smiling to excess
my heart fills with life
everywhere, now,

___________yes no or yes

rounding this last bend
of our circuitous
duplicity

Great dragon eyeball
what did he see?
The earth in flames
volcanic rivers flowing
reflecting in his iris
internalized
to reds and oranges
burning hues
that ate the green
of his eye away.
