(in memory of a tilted jar)

Discovered,

The spectral line’s identical representation in its division based on ground conditions met

Calibrated,

The wavelength ratio with optic transmissions between segments of two functions

Doubted,

Simple comparisons made of the double and triple particle circumlocution spectrality

Noted,

Angular moments of atomic and molecular transition

Supervised,

Remapping electronic nuclear paths of the city in conjunction with various spectral intricacies

Overlooked,

Weak radical deviation from classical function

Presumed,

Values estimated from interpretations of the observations

Questioned,

Theoretically explanations of the ‘brokenness’ effect

Continued,

Use of photovoltaic quantitative measures

Measuring,

The increase in incident light intensity and change in wave amplitude and strength

Recognized,

The handle’s ease of use releasing energetic photoelectrons

Accompanied,

Counting frequency of emission percentage numbers

Followed by,

Independent decrease in percentage numbers in current spread

Illustrated,

Significant portions of the plot point diagrams

Observed,

Gamma pooling from leaking particle streams at the cathode entry

Ignored,

Emitted photoelectrons at anode exits pooling at bottoms of beakers

Documented,

Data on the electron’s measured minimum spin showing it has the energy…

…of this poem’s ending force

11:11

A populated path of regression

Aligning to the dark will of the void

Fingers numbed

On cliff’s black decayed edge

Earth,

Poisoned and forgotten

Sons of freedom

Planted like seeds in soil

What slept under their beds

Being tucked into their beds

The employment underneath us

Cities rise up around it

Drown it with metro noises

Greed towers

Leaning over to feed it

Filmed apocalypse bathtub birth

Black sun black as night earth

End of all men’s hope and light

Wait.

The golden child of fuel and fire

Turns the key to make it run

Nitrous pushing gear teeth in

Drying tears garden flowing in

Poison leeched so flowers grow

One machine keeps it turned

Unwinded handle wound again

Wildlife and things returned

Prophetic syncing, getting done

61592.png

And So it Goes

Phosphorous flame emission of machinery

Shines the stones of geometry

One sits on the side of the road

Crying, as tradition insists on being

Wrinkled hollow tin

Holding fast to the race track

New paint on old painted slogans

Prophecies of the prophets

Made of long

Slimy

Stupid magic

Coniferous cocktails and gut tequila

Bought and paid for by suburban gang units

Red smoke

Hemorrhaging from nose, cheeks and chins

Eyebrows tinted

Touch-up waves of champagne sugar

Strokes of golden coils tickle ocean underbellies

Brilliant alchemy of the old lady’s kiss

Delayed intercourse

Practical decisions in Babylon catacombs

Ghostly midday sun

Rattles

Rustling up the flowers again

Egyptian hornets scream of scandal

Literal screaming from the spun

Spinning woodpecker carousel

Pearl of sweat

Of writer’s star

Dowsing flames of raven spells

Limit remnants of the emptiness

Seduce cult members of existence

Thought ballet

Performed by lithe alien spirits

Circus of the universe

Blinking eyes

The structure of truth

Weighted by its limbs

Plot points of infinities

Outline graves of love

Falling ghosts

Impaling themselves on sharp ends of crosses

Celestial gender

Looks and finds

Compatibility in a wilderness of bodies

God’s death

Brought on by breakfast cereal culture

Rose garden punks

Staying on their own side of nowhere

And so it goes…

61594.png

Awakening

Cremation ceremony spreads through the house

Wood and stacks of beer sitting on the shore

Lift up your heads, timber gods

Open timeless doors

Untwist the coils

Dawn, with pink fingers

Vaisnavara pre-show

Shaking dust from slumbered hair

World given over to winds of change

Greys

Leached from the palette of events

Spring sprung in our minds

This dream circled by midnight

Sun unnerved

Strong with confidence

Music streaming up

The core stays silent

61596.png

Best Selves

Earth, water, air, fire

Space

Tracing earth’s work

Intoxicating wind

Whistling through the solid cohesiveness

Fanning love to where I stand

Announcing

Spontaneous

The everything

Creme glyph incapsulating

Venus

Sun and flower sweetly meeting

Movement appropriate for mind

Embrace what’s wild

Possibilities broadcast

Animate the listeners

Practicing their best selves

61602.png

Blemish Testament

Source of the organic syncopations

Of nature rhythms

The heart malformation

Finds there is no love there

Nothing to nurture

Sparring in questionable zig-zag motion

Slithers down the ax’s handle

Dissecting tissue

Revealing the mesentery

Unfamiliar with the master

In possession of a dirty creature

Awaiting next earth’s turning

Exposed globe underbelly

Matter sprouting out the art

Blemish testament to galactic felony

Book of Numbers

A certain kind of fraud happens

It’s the fashion

Adding one to a perfect hand

Now,

See there?

You went ahead and spoiled it

This kind of convenient program

Leads to the greatness of 1001

To those who know

Where the zeroes go

The kingdom returns in numbers

According to simple meanings

In the program

Avoid bothering

To count the actual quantity

Just follow along

The process of subsequent phases

Will let you know as we go

In the right hand positions

You see things become elevens

Use arithmetic

To calculate its mathematics

Code monkey created false floors

Lean back and salute

The number of the self

It’s all over the place

The number,

At each place and time

On a number line,

Spreads throughout

All of God’s green tarnation

The first to get rid of,

These things dating

The lead role actress

In her dismentalism

The first to form

The pure number two wasn’t me

Was it you?

It’d have to be me and you

That makes two

Normalization may be boring,

But that’s what institutions are built on

Know exactly

Which effect

The number was causing,

And which number that caused it

61606.png

Boots Full of Mud

Dreaded Sisyphus in denial

Goes to trial in supra-style

Courtroom for this one

With a bit more cow bell

Loomed thread from a yarn ball

The rope hangs itself

Cannonballs the arrows

Sharp steel pokers

Poking at the gun fire

Wallets full of bullets

Rhinoceroses charge interest

Gores heaven

At same moment earth does

Limits never find the Tao

Mud keeps their boots full

Weasel and the pageant mouse

Juxtapose the knowledge ignorance

Mental conflicts sleep awake

No time left

For better times to get it

62389.png

Cold Glass of Milk

Calculus predicts evolution of the generations

A Ghost acquainted Itself with our world

God

Always eager to fill the void

Fit it with that which overcomes its contradiction

Epic, inexplicable

Miracle and mystery

Who steals eggs to throw away chickens?

Narrative features catch in gears of a story

The earth turns

Waves flatten

Stand on your toes

See the tiger in its bepuzzlement

Understand the nuts and bolts of the garden

Build a dialogue bridge to your mind

Across to the pale, sparse peaks

Stars hug me with their scabbed wings

Default system sounds of cymbals

Armed with fabric bombs and rivet guns

With a beautiful heart

And a cold glass of milk

Painting physical phenomena

Inside holographic boxes

Pseudoscientific linguistic hide-and-peep shows

The owner of all that is

Forced to think about time using my body

Speaking out the naked terms

Audience neglect

Non-reflections on reflection

Creations recruited

To create the global shape

No Jesus salutations

No blasphemous hand-signs

Deconstructing designs of foolish wishes

Adjusting tones to ring pleasantly

Captured ideas inspire my writing

61610.png

Custom Fit

In the wild

We catch the spry spirit fairy fish

To bring back with us

Where they could be kept stocked

Prepared for shipping to other locations

Of bidders satisfying asking prices

The last exhaled breath

Our breath meditation

No amazing secret to tell us

I hadn’t the expectation it would

Like birds from skies

Proposals fell from the federation

Set in motion

Wheels

To uselessly spin in empty spaces

We cut out square holes

Where windows and doors could go

We painted walls

Five different shades of colors

Matching shades

The eye color of our lovers

We sang music to grow out digits

We appropriated five flavors

Five representatives to represent us

Five porous gates

To open up the insanity

Opening up

Gates cycled through nine revolutions

Accorded with four seasons

The big selling point

One-size-fits-all nudity customization

Shamelessly plagiarised

Confidently done

Knowing it had silent consent

Guests

Awed by the hostess

Who

Like all people

Had a size customized for a fitting

Custom fitting naked people

A dirty job

Somebody’s gotta do it

62391.png

Death Comes Instead

After great pain

This hour led to a formal feeling

In the quiet plant succulentarum

Removing the air from the air

Light dividing

If you dare

Drop cubes

Stars and their yield

Between the eyes and the ends

The message

Dead in the law of the crash

Everything rushing to the outsides

Songs shook her head

The unwinding overshadowed

Death comes instead

61612.png

Dirty Hands in Dirty Water

This age is left

To qualify for the summit

Inscribe the entire surahs

Equip the elite of the Christian sacrifice

A pole at the psycholourum

Plastered with lies

Bleeding dark seriousness

Intrusive false reasons for retribution

Sounds of the roaming beast

Blooming beautiful out of the white leaves

Adam lets a bird enter the hunting grounds

Tea steeped in error

Other parts of the world

Putting truth behind her

Chanting

Hands washed in dirtier water

A belt fed to a longing brain

Messengers of the institutes

Filming proverb scenes

Film stills left carelessly

Dust-collecting gifts

Left behind

Valueless

Permits for free assistance

Revoked

Protests unheard from ignorant selves

Heralds shed to insignificance

Her hand

Reaching out

No respect given

By the chimera enemy presence

61614.png

Drag

Drinking the sun

Mouth wide open

Let first foot fall

Into the emptiness

Watered sky flowers

Weightless

Basket-work of limbs

Planing surface water

Tail dipping

To change directions

Ginger-glistening

Weathered

Feather tipped wings

Heaving cage of ribs

Jointed bamboo fuselage

Lobster shoulders

Pinned and fringing

Customary moustache

Waxed overkill

Vanity preening

Perfect vestment

Glittered superfluous

Calculus of neuroweaving

Frayed apple leaves

Spasmed giddiness

Behind it dragging

Dead cumbering limbs

61616.png

Empty Stage

Find and open

The particle accelerator port

You can find its red light blinking

Last room

B-67 on the second floor

Particles fail

To meet supersymmetry standards

Instant worlds fade in and out

Molecules knighted, Xu

As atoms stretch

Our minds grow holes

Everything structured

In modular madness

Watch the electron’s reaction

To the proton bystander

Inside a romantic nucleus heat

Pure industrial process

Splitting our prismatic dreams

Into technicolor wonder

Perpendicular to the requirements

Of our brains

Immortality slams on shores

Godlike powers of the wave

We can be saints of our own opinions

Find the empty props

Dress our empty stage

61618.png

Ether’s Pregnant Again

Suns breathe on the theater

Performance at path’s end

Bare before dangerous light

Twelve shapes of varied bend

Half dreams of the heavens sent

Surviving crush of spinning wheels

In days laid waste

Fights fought won firmer ground

Nothing crooked

Nothing false

Gods speak so minds would learn

What is

What is not

Work done to make art true

Supporting within for that without

Shadows thrown

Grow thin

Seven lights to follow

All deeds need be done again

Ether’s birth of earth and sun

Thought before nothing said

They from whence places point

Do bed sleeping minds of men

Before meeting next daylight

Gathered quick

Rise again

61620.png

Facing Facts

Position is the last vacancy

During home video playback

Looking at one another from the root

Identifying the things

The silent noticing

Provoking games and trouble

Army nightmares

Running about high and foolish

From two mountains made of steel

Mischief ghosts play with our conscience

Facts stacked in ways you hoped wouldn’t

For a soul to die

One needs a last breath

To have a last breath

One needs the lungs for it

Between what is heard

And what is seen

Chasm of a great distance

What sours the sweetness

Luminaries make their arguments

Reasons made from a myriad of views

Poisoned affectations of Western arrogance

The stereotype

Fine-triggered to trap the lordly

61622.png

Feathered Donkeys

It’s sunset

The sun seeps into it

The velvet curtain

Showing off wonder patterns

For him,

Being freed

From the shackles of his clothing

Made the body tremble

Love dies in winter

Spring violets

Falling to the ground

Alongside stones grass-covered

The body still

Trembling in dreadful magic

Full of the human hope

The old rule

Silence

Prestige of gladiators

In the preliminary heat

The inhibiting chill

Minds convincing us

Donkeys have feathers

61624.png

Feminine Side of Is

I call you Is

Most gratuitous

Two prong crescent combat wager

Myth of fine-filed worlds

Planted in vast blackness of space

We applied the bridge paint

Daubed the mountain flowers

The earth matter with kinds

Feathered your nest

Endless feminine ego growing

Bread swelling in the cold ovens

Visits on clear mornings

Appearing when mists disappear

Shining cloud

Ill-health moon

Resonating quills

61626.png

File this in the Church

Between the generations,

Wild animals stay unafraid

Fed near the oaks

Drinking in the reeds

Happy in the universal word

Esteemed

Unforgotten

Love for its children growing

I thought to myself

‘Well!

I am unwilling to give up space

For what thwarts my will

The flower

Fruit of my stubbornness’

Death usually follows through

With its plans

War waged in valleys

Can you

With the mind’s eye

Experience the touch

Of a cold flake of ash?

Short of genius

Unrecognized

When the day’s reached

Day of manifested effects

Wished for in earlier times

61628.png

Future Tense

Burning fire of New World religion

One who lit this

Controls its direction

Landscaping men

A visioned High City

Lyrics of the unknown ‘Church of the Swarm’

Great immoral international intention

Certain the thief’s shift for theft now in session

Self-sovereigned father of the night clans

Holds keys to the Grand Hotel Grande

Accustomed to the blind dumbness

Cabal swap meets

Reminiscent of dominion heart beats

Looking through the otherworldly

Post-world view finder

Vibrates the outer-self tool

Transhumanist biosensors

Beginning game of technofencers

Virus crawl from the magnetic chasm

Neocon castigation spasmaticism

Rewarding threat squashers

High numbers

Entered into degeneration legers

Glib unrepentant congregation relations

Banquet for villainous inverse salvation

Immersion into complete procurement

Waged attacks of undemocratic nature

Patents secured for next pollination

Safety checks at gauntlet weigh stations

Perfect-postured inversion logicists

Making new friends in the woods

Breakdown supported by suboptimal vision

Chemical replicants of luciferase injections

Took to High Council

Spoke with His Miserable

World-makers make a world judged dismal

61630.png

Fury

Fury came out as Mexican jazz

Inaccessible, lazy

Laying the daub thick

My witless subject

Icarian-like

The slut in her

Unconcerned

The gamete lying prone

Naked

Red and raw

No person stands guard

Withstanding the old

Sword-waving Huguenot

Gold-gilded holy writ

Beneath stained straining wings

The ancient blue-haired hybrids

Confederate flock

Swaying to tedious sermons

Efflorescing

In darkened sanctuary

61632.png

Ghost in the Routine

Ghosts in the routine

The smoke of community disease

Turn the hemisphere bolts loose

Heart of the deciduous Latin anthem

A rope knotted with hardship

Contentious wind of thirty-six castles

At a funeral

Held for rusted toys

Spun in the washing-machine palace

In opaque pools of Vulcan sperm

61634.png

God Bless the Hustler

The shine

Coming off their chests

Shine of the silver seal

Blood-red penitents

In licking flames

Of a so-called heaven

I should run,

Leave this house,

The church,

The grave,

Two names of the same

I open my eyes,

Find I can’t move

Their hell put its hand in mine

In my grave

Of rain-stormed tears

I’m still an inhabitant

Of majesty

Out of reach to any influence

The state I choose

Of my abiding

Of any of many possible ways

Fate could turn,

Face my way

I,

The obsessed-over,

The obsessed,

Burning wenches of hell

61636.png

God Can’t Save the Queen

With arched eyebrow,

Poisoned look,

The poise of a scribe

Describing the event

Even-painted skies purplish

Army of super tramps

Stripping the queen bare

Her royal tresses,

Left bedraggled,

Unkempt

Her cheeks,

Tear-stained,

Raw

Physical charm

Met steel ambition

The unpardonable sin,

Committed for the enviable win

The culprit,

Radical switch to a slide,

Switching to glide,

Free, now,

These electric trons,

From atomic orbital grip,

No other place called home,

Shortest straws,

Crackling in a furnace belly,

Fire jaws

Of the soldiers of fortune,

Turned up toward sunrise,

Skipping to land in milk and honey

To hang out

With the Death Metal Buddha

61638.png

Hand Held Out

Don’t run across the street

Let life shine on the bedroom floor

Pick out new sounds in the air

Discover your doppelganger

In a book

See past bars of the cage

Catch your face

On a stronger head

Rise

From western hemisphere’s

Poor man’s bows

Swing the anchor by its chain

Lasso a bull

Terrify with arms of gods

Write down things

Heard underground

Pull what lurks

Like trees with roots

Mock the king

’till he runs from his palace

Find out what the ‘is’ honey is

Raise the cup

No matter how pale

Kill the calf

One fatted for guests

Learn to sing

Hang bright lamps

Over river’s treacherous parts

Pet fondly

Hands strong

With the intention of One

At first sight,

Beloved,

Until her voice

Rings out like trumpets

Inherit a leadership

On your own authority

Come out of character

Acts from the stage

Be the beacon

Draw the attention

Of the saddest soul

And relieve it of its sadness

62393.png

Handy Brandy

Self-helping light

Flame-nourishing brandy

A single penny

From a pile

of one hundred pennies

Thrown at a rock,

Sitting,

Pretending its sleeping

I’m about to cross the moat

That keeps me from the place

of your capture

61640.png

Hear it Breathe

Tight

The binds

Interdimensional chains

Emerging from the throat

Hallucinating

Halos elucidating the mind

Odin’s wandering eye

Squirming

Leads a chant for the greater good

Length of my thought,

Hard to measure

Can’t find the place

It takes up space

What destroys

Must
