i drop the bucket
down to the bleak empty
of my world-ravaged soul
and find only bitter...
only dark
i must find my spine
among the bones of
others
i do not remember
their names
and some i cannot
even recal their face
it was...
the land,
it was dust
i let my skin dry
in it
i let my eyes
turn powdery and wander
judas called my name
we played double
solitaire
blue eyes
constant acceptance
and
the sincere
sin-sation
of flying
i hold on
you let go
and the
and
is forever
i drink
you go
and the why's
just keep coming
i hold on
as you set
all love free
i light a cigarette
against the coming of the storm
the coming of
the white
i take a picture
a small purple bag
a dream of ocean
and
the material of a soul
lost long ago
in a fire
i rise
i aim
i take my shot
the wood on wood, scrape-
the-floor sound...
i prefer round rolling
glass bubble noises
like rain drops
and boiling rice
wrap velvet fog rain
around my heart
bring the heated shadow
make me warm and dark
like no home, no religion can
promise full-moon passion
and fire in my soul
for you
every cell spontaneous flame
and succor as I burn

always with that same look.

(to) with
you for a
while
(away the owls) see
i don't get out
much and i
was wondering (stevie-like mind
you) how
you are
doing
highway
old gray satin ribbon
laid carefully
on liquid heat
on solid dust.
a straight question mark.
exclamation.
then! old black(widow) facade
distant, lifeless, so long there.
was she ever green? ripe?
blue with hope? was she ever
not old? ever soft? welcoming?
and question mark,
riding an exclamation
goes on
highway,
dusty once black, sun
dried ribbon question,
statement satin
go
