Apparently

A strong desire to survive
I’m going to take that kiss
Whatever it means
No need to respond
Just let it rest there
And with the confidence
Of angels on horses
I can feel myself rising
With a sword and a bond
Towards the sky the deeper
Argument the truer self
Misfit to the decertification
What is it really?
Where does it rise up from?
The desire to be everything
And the pause from saying
Good-bye bye bye
Wendy, I need to take the day off
Can you manage without me?
It’s what stands apparently
To never get the chance
To know yourself
Apparently there is more to you
Than meets the eye
I knew that there was something
Special but what about
A horizon of light that views
Regarding excitement
To say what is false
What is true
What are we thankful for
A good time or a longtime
Lucky day chance betrays
No one

Quaternary

What is the harmony of nature
When can we make a bed in it?
What use do we have in being glum
Self criticism episodes disrupted
A dorsal cortex show for sure
To flee hastily, like a cat
An ocelot mimicking a python
Measuring quaternary heat
Just a piece of fruit causing dreamy
Contentment at the lips
Momentary forgetfulness
To take a drink from the cup of
Roman and Greek Gods
Deliciously secreted
Raw honey to render the bees
Balls are in court we play
The last word you would
Ever speak again the best
Words that were ever spoken
Still tongue tied and
Unable to speak
We keep cut flowers
In position free from
Simpering guilt and
Relinquishing an innocent rank
A term for incurring freedom
Not confinement lose the best
Of the attention
No good
No bad
Pierced by the holes
If a past has gaps
Filling in the separations

Impressions

If I ever lost sight
Of your beautiful face
Where would I be
What is the decision
That could make you
Stay to remain happy
To do what you want to do
Put my own happiness aside
Selflessly devoted
Treating you with grace
In the same way you
Respect me
Everyday is our own
Hung up to dry
By the love that’s alive
Seven dollars an hour
Wouldn’t matter
A cardboard box with you
Give you everything
I have to give
Live every moment
Every breath there
Is to breathe
To live
I would choose you
Before me
Just tell me
What you need

Evaporated

False humility
Yellow hands grasping
For something of substance
Just a shred of light
Whatever’s left

More than a typical night
A few more winks to spare
Funny how mornings we
Don’t have to be anywhere
It’s time to get up and
In days that require us
To be there we could
Lay down for hours

Garden is thriving
Thinking about what we
Do it all for why do the
Tomatoes grow
And who for?

Not enough books on the wall
To solve the crime
The birds in the yard spoke
Back and forth about a time
Chattering something of
Love and momentary lapse
Afterthoughts

Colored world in black and white
Any attempt to register the truth
Of the matter comes out in a
Sound of laughter and
Wishful thinking

Could’ve been more pets
Also kids school immersion
Lots of things we built towards
Caught it almost before the
Rest of the illusion shattered

No turning back
Freedom and pieces of my mind
Evaporating the us factor

Was it luck?
Maybe death or hard work
Living for nothing
Hoping for everything
While the birds click back
He did it for you!
I did it for us!
I did it for us!

Bullets

Orange guns gold teeth
Chase me down stand up to see
Me push you out of my house
Side door no fear
Running up from the bottom
Of the stairs threat or no threat
I have a family to protect
Get out!

Where do you think you are?
Not much time here now
Have to think on our feet
Even if the gun goes off
Keep moving forward
He’s shooting but I don’t care
No matter how many are
Standing there

End of the world is near
Cliff diving no gear here I come
Positioning of the sun is extreme
Contemporaneously audible
Ringing in my ears

Forge a different path
Tell a different story
One that’s nothing like
The one we’re living
With much more pleasure!

Richane

Ineluctable like the sun
Cut yourself some slack
Only so much time in the day
So how to make it last
Needle and thread
Single strand

Split hairs down the middle
Just a little bit more than before
Someone’s listening
Not quite sure where
Who’s singing in
What cage

Wild eyes running
Out of town messages
From a late start early reply
Not too quick and obviously sly
Sticky fingers no ego
Wanting for more
Needing less

I have a basic fantasy
Count the amount of keys
It takes to unlock me

Messy heart but easy start
If we get past the green parts
Early traditions are not lost on
True feelings and mine are
Thirsty to taste the painless
Possibility of don’t give a fuck
Futures pictured here

Crapahuter

Who is Calliope red head band
Disembark in a glycerine cloud
Eyes burning unrubbable
Before the pages are emptied
Erasing themselves crawling
On their own

Giving up the music and
Self worth only for a moment
A fever a sadness a tastebud
Waiting to savor the absence
Of something sweet or sour

Read it forwards or backwards
The outcome is the same and
And and we say what we say
To get away from the desperation
Subtle pain with a few stitches

Lots of clicking underneath
Fatigued eyes and beguiled
Self imposed law suits
Falling off swings in
New territories

Keep me from myself
Restraining all the parts
That would help refrain
The use of weapons like
Swords or other sharp objects

Overthinker makes a mad dash
For the syndrome of imposter
Sitting on a porch blowing bubbles
Teeth strained less weird
Say more

Contrabass

A tremendous amount
Of accountability one can almost
Hear it ringing across the chasm
A coulee calls back
Reeling

“Just live your life!”
Who cares?
Write it down
Stick it in an envelope
Lick it and seal it
Over the pond across the globe

Pick me up
Set me back down
My heads on fire
About to blow really

Do everything right
Still get it wrong

Do it wrong
Maybe get closer

She’s shrieking out on edge
Storming down the door
Time can’t get it back
Counter clockwise old school
Headlights in his eyes

Fight and torment till we die
Look under the hood
See if he can find anything good
Against the odds

Barrel back or don’t
Maybe an instrument to
Activate her voice
Loud louder loudest

Miss the kiss just a wish
To find hisself again
Saturday night almost
Lights out but stay up late to
Make up for the wait
Work work work
That’s all we do

Screw the rules
List writer box checker
Doesn’t go according to plan
Whatever man
Did everything he can
No follow through at the end
Makes for a tall glass of
What the shit is wrong with you
Again and again let it go
Amen

Capricious

Caught me with my pants down
Connect the dots of wisdom
What makes a good listener
In the epoch of culpability
And vulnerable hours

When you feel like you’re twenty-five
In your brain but you’re actually
Twice that in real time
Wit is all you get asking
Who am I really
Just a joker

A conjunction to upheavals
Challenging relationships collapse
Systematic pressure defers to
Warlike experiences that
Escape their shadowed satisfactions

Save the trouble
Wrap it up in a blanket
Say a prayer to Venus
Send it off into the water
Burning away

Beautiful flame offering
Contemporary depth has no
Sense of gorgeousness or being

Regard kindly the essence
Of what the weekend holds
Step away from the tragedy
Of never needing to know

Erratic concerns are
Indefinite

Behemoth

Mythical creature
Hiding around Benelux
In a snapshot
Shadows would reveal
Secrets the streets have
Longtime hidden
How many years
Had it been hiding here
And from what we
May never find out

Running from nothing
Rubbing your eyes deeply
There was no unseeing
The possibility of magic
Overflowing with whilst

All the creativity of a child’s
Imagination reeling at the
Counter of majestic molding
Manifesting the art
But nothing else reclaims
A financial cure from
Something where is none

A sinister lie to protect
Ourselves from sharing the
Real parts of who we are
Like narrating our stories
Carefully with numbers and
Dollar signs lined up
Stacking paper instead of
Racking up experiences
And art that amount
To putting the whole truth
Out for the world where
Everyone can see

Routes twisting and turning
Going every which way and in
Directions we can find the
Behemoth the magic maybe
Even the dragon revealed
