watch me watch you and you'll experience the sharpness in my distance and gift of my contact

1108Let's squeeze beneath that little space 
That reduces our ego Stings our fears
Darkens our cryptic lore into engraved images
And whispers us Into suspension
By way of the feet that commands and the mind that follows

August 2012
 Wait to be hungry

I’ve expelled words and reconfigured things into art
It has left me empty
Another piece of chocolate only deepens the null
Some days distraction is not for sale
It’s borrowing it’s own coat tails for a private event

I’ve sent word that my medium is wrong
And it is air I usually work with not curtains
You replied that it’s dark inside the loud speaker
And one should sure check their shoe traction before even thinking of flying

The woman in the next room shows me how juice projected from the gap of her two front teeth onto a wall created the landscape she dreamt about last year
She’s not sure if her train goes there
And then we discussed renting traction instead

August 2012

Dontcha come ’round here like praise is gonna spit upon you

I’m too tired to lean out here again catching all those flies that get trapped in your throat

Hadn’t you said you gone stopped dancing with the devil

dat ‘em steps wuz too tricky to follow and you done fall flat on your face one too many times? huh?

well now looky here If I ain’t done lost my sight and had it restored

- Praise! I’d say you need it. But no, I needs it more ’cause I ain’t foolin’ no more who gots time to get stuck in the spin cycle I’s dizzy. you hear me.

dizzy as farmer Jo’s weathervane in Irene

we just keeps shoveling the dust that lands in our eyes and down our mouth our words are coated

July 2012

Negating my emotional electrodes

I let this or that feeling go unrecorded

Much easier to ride the well grooved saddle of my auto pilot

Than navigate the choppy waters of our murk, lust, longings and disappointments.

The apple wishes to dance and the shoe wishes to talk.

Much of our own teleview (tell-me-view) says such suchness often in damp moldy spaces

Especially when hidden out in the open which screen-in intruders and melts the crispness of raw barings

Just an Ol’ Fashion Love Song
You’re the itch I can’t reach You’re the keys I can’t find You’re the oil on my beach You’re the song on my mind You’re the grey in the clouds You’re the coal I can’t burn You’re my fears right out loud You’re the page that won’t turn There there, you’re everything Are you gonna get it Are you gonna spring (forward) I’m the stone that won’t throw I’m the hook that won’t hang I’m a new ancient soul I’m the gun in your gang I’m a poster bleached blank I’m the message gone lost I’m the words that won’t thank I’m the one you will cross There there, I’m everything Am I gonna get it Am I gonna spring (back)

Untitled – 2010
I can’t quite recall you

From a whispered dream I saw a view

That was like no other with our planet beyond her*

I reached out before him

As my love was to go then

Back to another

I’ll see you again

Sweet whispered wonder

You climbed up and under

To find me quite tended

For the hopes of us two

I sit so imagined

As if you didn’t (now) know me

I fly past the rafters

through the woods of your soul ….

* Earth

When No One is Watching – 2010
When no one is watching – But everyone’s there – I’ll look around for your magic – And the trance of the air – Slip my codes into fallen snow – Dog tracks tramp it all up you know – So I’ll come quick in my own slow way – I don’t remember you specifying a day – Send me some new clues

I know now that Andy was right – 2010
I know now that Andy was right-  I’ll pick up that saucer with all of my might – Some of us like to be rained upon – Lets us know when our season is gone – Some of us know crazy like a pillow – Our head is upon it – Wrestle with just the is’s – And laugh at the knots – All up and down the rejection line – Smile first – Curtsey backwards – It’s all too familiar with the changing hills – They’re not quite standing still, are they – Roll over and inhale…deeply – It’s not the kind of fire you run from – Not this one
