sent sideways through your dream
and into my hands. read aloud to all time.
each place i've wandered knows your
name.
in disbelief they all believe.
they want nothing and all of it at once.
and now.
cascading transformations relive themselves
out
and over and over again
until time stands still one moment
and races on again.
against itself.
the grains. the tide it flows
upon itself.
unrelenting to the need.

cast out the trouble.s. the trouble is.

unlearn your dismay. and your
dismal
look. around you.

...

conquer the need to be instantly and ever clever.
it's not all it's cracked up to be.
sometimes sincerity is good enough.
grand even.

the only thing. is this.

rooftop serenades of mind to mind
hand held reminders of soft palm touch
a brush of wrists
the words spill out of our eyes
and they cease when we look away
cold air swirls in beneath my ears
a shiver and the press of teeth in return
tight jaws swivel into smiles

sink two

encapsulate in arms embrace
hanging onto all that's left
the land about us
has fallen apart
the floor has sank beneath us
the walls have crumbled
down the edge

hot breath to keep warm by
having encountered unkind hands
walked a tireless walk in step
miles moved and no distance made

sink

candied words
fall short
coveted worlds
call home
turbulent minds
reach forward

the let go
the dive
and
catch
and
sink

beneath earth

em otni espalloc

arms in arms
mouths so close
we whisper each others words

AAA+

collaborate
and punctuate
the endless starts
that come apart
and rejoin us
into one hand held one
smiles that fade
that can't hang on
that rejoin us









.A walk around the world
infests the daily rituals of today
and now
.Invest in my daily ritual
.Tomorrow sows the seed of today
A matter of fact smile on your face
Or a wince of eye and cheek
.Encompassed in the process of thought
The where the when and when
There.There you whisper
Unknowingly agitating the calm.







ONE FLOAT PARADE
INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED
FOR SECOND PLACE
AND TOTAL FAILURE

HE CAN'T LET THE CLOUDS ROLL AWAY THE MEMORIES.
THOSE CHINESE DAYS. THOSE MOMENTS SO HIGH ABOVE THE LAND.
