She was reinvented in
The body of a man who was
Trying to fulfill his life
As a young woman
She wanted to start
A family and
Fall in love with her
Forever love

How long she had been
Waiting there was really
A question of time
Life expectancy
Uncertain

Not ready to abort the mission

There was a place to
Record the ending
Ancient but not epic
Head spinning
What’s the rest of this
Supposed to pan out like?
No answers just notes

Scribbling down her recipe
For what is to come
Like a psychic potion
Ready to drink a giant
Cup of moonlight

Her hair was falling down
In radiant waves
A memory of the sea
And best kept secrets
Though her truth was
On the first page
Of every book
Of his love

Abstruse Signals

Needle in a haystack
Reincarnated memories
Dreams of becoming what
Biology had in mind for
My body but not for
My mind

Location services are on
Looking for the signals
Ready and blinking
UFOS and Aliens could
Find me

It’s so obvious
Why is it difficult on earth?
It seems the world is blind
Standing in front of the sun
The ultimate camera
Take my picture
Bruise me with
Your love

I came here to discover myself
Maybe we can uncover
An unknown truth
Forensics

Eye contact says something
Touchdown in a world where
Many moving parts are
Moving past us until
Most of us are gone

Find the other before the
End of time

Energetically magnetic
Hellos and goodbyes
Perfect echoes
Doppler effects
No regrets

Chances are the universe
Is hungry for us to collide
Satisfy the appetite

Bastion

I’m sorry I am
A little bit drunk and
You are too beautiful to
Look at I have lost
My words

I could just ramble on
About loving things and
Stare at you as if nothing
Made sense

A bastion of passion
An untold story

You remind me of
Everything that I want
And can’t have in the
Same breath

What a beautiful sight
For sore eyes

Is love so brave?

Hermetic Dreams

A buffalo pushed the
Mushroom out of the way
Leaving only a question
Where would the others go
And how could we bring it back?

Hanging on by a thread
To our past like a history
Stood to remind us that we
Aren’t bitter like the angry giant

Baby blue starlings
Ariel view of a map
Complex atlas like chess
Moving the pieces
Precious animals there to
Guide and make room for

I don’t want to be vulnerable
With my emotions in front of
The world even though
Television normalizes this

A friend who sings visits
She enters my dreams
She has already red hair
She asks me to make it redder
She tells her friends about
My remarkabilities

It doesn’t matter if
It’s not a word

Make it up as we go along
Hermetic dreaming

Firgun

Time for light, time for laughter
New beginnings in the hereafter
Or pleasantries now

Celebrating you
Forgetting about me

Dating is a nightmare
Everyone accepts this as normal
Somehow I don’t care

I’d rather find one
Enjoy each other and
Go from there

All the hustle of
Trying all the flavors
Maybe speed dating
But not weeks on end
That end up nowhere

I don’t care

Sitting on a hill
Trip to the North Sea
Journey in a wagon
Feeling groovy

Banter of love
No back and forth trash
Just a nice time that
Continues to last

Celebrating you
Forgetting about me

Time for light, time for laughter
New beginnings in the hereafter
Or pleasantries now

What are you after?

Hiareth

Strapped into my history
Sewn into my flesh
Grind my bones
In the dust of our friendship

I’m creating all of these
Beautiful romantic things
For no one but myself
That was never the plan

Haunted by the memories
If the perfect parts of you
We’re actually real
Living inside my fantasies
Some kind of self torture

What an acrid perfume
Something of a coarse nature
Blinding me with backhanded love
Like some dark magic

This deep longing or homesickness
Beyond a place or time that
No longer exists—or perhaps never did

Turning on the trafficator
Left turn, right turn
Windshield wipers for clarity
Driving my life highway
Rather than plotting my death
Feeling ready to die
Contemplating suicide
I’m looking for another way
To live this life, a new way
To be alive

Death of a past
Birth of a future

Barreling

Stop the dog from attacking
Save the innocent ones
Don’t hesitate for
Hesitation could
Mean death

Is there something
To be afraid of knowing?
Abandon the hermit
Behind the time to be
Outgoing to take me
As I am

What happens next?

There is no observation
Negative or positive
That can be imagined
Without validation
From the voice
Of the seer

Stop the dog from attacking
Save the innocent ones
Unpredictable energy
Feelings of off centered
Realities

No feeling like it’s not
Uncertain certainty
A blanket of truth

Our youth
Maroon and rose blush
Eternity is reflected
In the palm of
Our souls

Barreling through
Stop the dog from attacking
Save the innocent ones

Galimatias

Maybe shut my mouth
Zip the lips seal the tomb
Egyptian dust

Who can I trust
Like dominoes recovered
From the cracks in the floor
Falling down from a game
No longer being played
By Toutankhamon

Confused letters that
Create conflict sharing
Everything and nothing
Like gibberish
Creeping into the
Background

Un ciel partagé
At what point are we in
So much pain that we
Push the world away?
And then punition
To punish the
Boundaries we’ve laid

Wake up wake up

It can’t be both
One or the other
Blah blah blah

You’ve chosen to
Follow your heart
Trust the gut

Limn

Looking into the galaxy
Of my core a telescope
Observing the delicate
Lines that connect the
Stars of my mind
Delineated

Trace the outline of
My heart on the skin of
My chest

Lay in bed for hours
Drawing painted lines that
Describe the stories the
Future could represent
For our satisfaction

I give myself over
For you to capture my sky
Look into your eyes
Simplicity of singular
A hurricane of
Someone coming

My lips are
Not just for anyone
They’re for you

Close one eye
Look at the lines in the
Darkened sky between
Transcribing the air
The burning dots
In the night

Dark matter
Electric light

Gap

Blundering away from
Whatever was left
His skin was withering
Like a wilted corpse
Of a dying tree

On his knees
He pleas

Are these equations
Untenable?
Is there no escape
From defending
Our castles?

Who are we protecting
Ourselves from and
How many will come?

Like ants parading
Into our homes or
Cats that start to
Congregate by the dozens

Should we follow some
Compulsion to
Love them all or
Draw the bridge

Close the gate
Nip it

Stop the chaos
Hold the water
Seal the dam

For what we have
No control over in
Every aspect of our lives
We are also destined
To make choices
Weak or strong

Chaos conforming

To put the foot down
Protecting our loved ones
This is responsibility but,

What are we protecting
Ourselves from?
