hanging flower
i can break i have
i have frozen solid
cracked open
greatful that it’s not concrete
drag you down messing up
your clothes
throw me in the ditch
your legs glow
my fingers reach out
drag you down
almost remembering what it’s like to hate
hold my hands
they’re not as steady
as i’d like
i’m shaking
my fingers
ache
sugar and water

sugar and water
did you know that i drink
sugar and water
to hold me down
to hold me next to you
yeah
sugar and water
to hold me down
to hold me close
to hold me softly next to you
'cause you're sweeter
than the liquid moon
i drink you in
drink you down
you drink me too
do we finish too soon
am i failing you
i twist my arm
around empty air
it hurts but i don't know where
and i don't care
it hurts right now it hurts right now
every time i see an ambulance
i wonder if it's me
who's died
am i just a ghost to everyone else
or just invisible inside
either way
i don't care
you say it'll fade
but i don't care
it hurts right now it hurts right now
so i drink sugar and water
to hold me down
fever call
fever call
breaking thru like dusty knives
breaking thru....
BREAK THROUGH!
spreading open the sunlight
sigh
sigh
enter here
dissasemble the air
swift shadows of luminecence
cross split horizon
screaming with particle envy
leaving me standing
on shaky ground
and as the highways sew the earth
together again
my own shadow slips away
quietly
to find its own way home
cold start summer heart
(from way back... 1994)
Cold Start Summer Heart
Cold Start Summer Heart
Shiftin thru
passin lanes like a
cut wheat avalanche
field dried
road eyed
and tasting bitter water
on the underside of my tongue
nicotine urge rides along
shotgun and waiting
for some propane injection
an irreversible shadow crawls
tired & twisting thru my mind
seasonal heatwave crashdown
into th myopic frenzy of
a
nother
city street
fade away
into hot wire slipstream
searchin fer th thirst of cracked sidewalks
under cool blue
quiet time
snapshot
fireweed
rose water
catchin th free way w/ clenched teeth
searchin out th gutter sides
cavalier impulse
slow fade
into underground
band
width
sometimes (poetry)

Following the release of my chapbook... the typewriter keeps me awake at night... i thought i'd start putting some random poetical things on this blog... new words, old words, excerpts from the book... might as well, right? maybe all the poems that found their way on to the cutting room floor.... cleaned up and put on digital display....
okay...
on words.
and up words.
(oh yeah... chapbook.... here.)
