in the thousand arms of Kali a late night tango

not long after the ocean who could have known

staring in the rift   the pull of my bones

where the green was red in its place

inside the ten thousand things kaleidoscope

 

barcode tattoos bringing the body to orgasm

Notes from the Gean 4

when they fall they fall as empty armors

between night and day a train of dreams and compulsion

stained glass some of the faces are mine

the lake that was where the castle stood in the lake that's being refilled

bustling city a drunk and I pause for the big picture

sleeping with false prophets I reach for a thread of sun gods

2/3 dark energy I navigate by light

in my winter coat a chrysalis chants in every pocket

lost paradise I sink through you as black rain

the day after he mows dandelions

it got here before me the snail at the summit

red after all gas shapes my beloved dispassionate

3 a.m. Eden time I unbutton Africa's pocket

since the dawn (of time) dandelions

first dandelion nothing like doing nothing

rinsing my eye a belly-button falls into the sink

the world a stone in my throat I bite into Adam's apple

keep me up at night I'll write your name with soft pencils in a camel's eye

global warming winter frogsong

this will / never (already did) change

ethereal as a free fall the echo of stars in brain fluid

before I knew I could be seen world wars

the one (spring thaw) that didn't make it

in a state of grace once again daffodils
