Leaves dropped without reason
As moments of life pass scattered in waves of collective treason
And frigid winds ran down backlit streets
Erasing lone footprints from trails traveled long ago.
And
Light arose from silence
Brightening darkness with no regard for

or how quickly my anchored soul takes flight from this acknowledgment.
I wish I knew how to capture moments of contentment and store them up like dried lavender
pulling them out when I need the scent of

Emancipation
I was at 652 when the votes rolled down like a mighty river
Old Man River
Let us gather at the river where bright angel feet have trod
Between the brats and the coleslaw
Hot dogs lie limp in their pinky juice the old familiar chip and dip
And beer

Before the murders I had a cup of tea
I thought of things I’d do with the insurance money
I took the kids to her mother’s and said goodbye
Now I’d established my alibi

Surely you will see
Push Push Push my buttons
And everything will come out of me
I am already at my wits end
You're about to push me over the edge
I swear I will turn around
And push you over that ledge
I just want to unload

is what I am craving now
The sun is hovering above
My enthusiasm is ebbing
I need a kick start alarm
I need a smile inducer
Give me something loud
Give me something raw
Give me some honesty
Give me rock and soul
I need a heavy handed push

Rumble stones roll afar
Misty look across the desert land
Crumble lifting upon a star
Hunted with guns in hands
Avail enemies of all
Wishing death upon all
Cruelty and unbinding falls
Plentiful dreams of innocents and dancehalls
Sleepless dreams to defeat
Stones roll afar
Bang from the barrels
Victimized apart
Victimized of what

It's 12:43a.m.,
Calm with a sin of night
Four dead bodies,
And not a crook in sight
12:45a.m.,
The cops seize the bay
Damn, reporters and detectives
Work till the light of day
Who would do such a crime
Such a bloodful scene
Not a witness in sight,
This was done too clean
Now 1:30a.m.,
Damn, reporter unleashes the tale
Murder, murder
At a quarter past twelve

Bodies!
Hundreds and hundreds of them
Nice or scary and slightly hairy
Walking running crawling on the ground
to follow you around
Over or under each other
Snakes
Coiled and knotted bothered
by the lack of direction
and cold reception
of leaders too busy climbing
to the top of the pile

that it is ours. Everything is unlimited promise.
There is no way to distinguish faith from hope: both
equally wasteful as far as emotions go. As if
any emotion isn't wasteful. Being human is
fucking terrible. If I was born a tree I would not

hidden creek that only we and half the city have found!
A Frank O'Hara poem! I wish to taste oranges
when we kiss.
Everyone is in the same places. All the good
rocks are taken. The strangers meet over and over.

"Come " said a fat bumblebee
"Come follow me to this oak tree."
I followed as off he buzzed
for no other reason than because
this tree also called my name.
A strong trunk supported sturdy
branches long and burly.
Two squirrels used it as a gym
entertaining both me and them
