out comes fear



out comes fear from
its ancient haunt

the compounded virulence of
intrusive despair
weaving its way through these
throes of longing

  what beast is tamed that
  has no form,
  what fear is suppressed that
  overtakes like fog

splay the body
from throat to groin
to find the source

only to
destroy the vessel

one day

 

when I am old
there will be a porch
with a beautiful view
a chair
a table
with a glass of whiskey
next to a bottle of whiskey
next to a thick blank notebook
next to a collection of pens
atop a pile of memories
within a cave of regrets
below a mountain of dreams

and I will sip
and I will write
and I will age the last years away

and fall when the ink
finally dries out
and the last drop
soaks me through

this or that



morning is
a violent storm of
... overwhelming

you
  even in your
  small presence
are aglow
enormous
vibrant

a nearby flower ages
in her frail dress of
graying petals
  I grieve with
  her death

the differences are
hard to define
  this or that
  coming or going
I am not privy to
the secret

my assumptions are
limited by ignorance,
I cannot justify
any answer

and so this day begins
with empty hands
and an empty mind
... unobtrusive

yew berry



half a century avoiding the greed

feeding on her scarlet cup

barely tasting her bright flesh

slightly sweet, my fairish aril


years and years of fondling her

slender body, leaves and twigs

immune now to her toxicity

craving now the center seed


fingers a mess, the deadly bite

the heart stops with the pleasure

  alive now on the cusp of death

  (was I alive before, merely needing)

Arbuckle Creek (in Sebring, Fl.)


in my place of peace

life is a living green

and speaks not a word

and sings not a song


the only breath 

besides my own

is the swell and shrink

of wind and trees


the edge is rough

the edge is wet

the highs and lows

are serenely endless


my peace is flowing

my peace is unselfed

there is no difference

between life and death

crimson night



cold on crimson


her dress, blowing in

the Northern winds


  If you fail to

  touch me now

  I just might crumble

  and my pieces will

  float away...


       ~~~


crimson heat


my hands slide up

under her dress


  “I will touch 

  all of you tonight

  keeping you whole,

  a warmth uniting

  every piece unsettled”

clairvoyance annoyance



gnawing on fingers

nail to the quick

anxious, despondent 


the future of the next

threatening second

unknown to the knower


to be or not to give a fuck

this I ponder halfheartedly

and scoff at the premise


promise me you’ll forget

everything you’ve been told,

moving forward with true freedom

tugging at shadows (my photos)


anatomy invasion by

neutrino stealth and secret

without ripple,

without action-reaction


triple wash the skin

super chlorinated to an

adequate log reduction

to become worthy of


casting one true shadow

upon wall or ground;

  touch my body and 

  tell me that I’m real


before I, in stealth and

secret, divest myself of this

flesh, tugging at shadows

lurching for an early exit

she should be fucked



She should be fucked properly...

licked over and fed upon

sucked hard and soft

kissed shallow and deep

lips breasts belly and cunt



She should be fucked wildly...

keys dropped from my hand at

the front door, pants unzipped

skirt yanked down, panties torn

dick hard, pussy wet, and grind



She should be fucked passionately...

tongues tangling entwining

lips drooling dripping feasting

flesh pushing pulling scratching

bodies twisting stretching colliding



She should be fucked and loved

fucked and loved fucked and

loved fucked and loved fucked

and loved and loved and loved

and loved and loved and loved

pristine



perhaps our fate

is an unconcluded love


as the journey intensifies

so our vessel is filled


without contamination

the substance is pristine


I look straight through it

hoping to find you there 

one day

⬛️


enter black


imagine 

the mime gone blind

and numb to touch


what’s left


the distant song

is a foreign language,

the pleasurable scent

is lost in the wind


black is pure

black is home


I imagine

nothing feels better


I will enter, 

I will remain

especially in the rain




how hot and sticky to

love you and love you

in the Summer sun

in the Southern humidity

as lust oozes out of

every pore and coats me

as loving you, loving you

is a sizzling steam 


how wet and sloppy to

love you and love you

in the relentless rain

in the torrential downpours

as lust is a thunder

that’s roaring within me

as loving you, loving you

is a saturating deed


in the sun, in the sun

I do love you in the sun


in the rain, in the rain

I do love you in the rain


in the sun, notwithstanding


in the rain, most especially

Hey, hello, hi! Happy Sunday morning to you... and you... and you ❤️ Thank you for being here, reading, observing. I am very thankful 🙏 (my photos)


behind the wheel




the cell phone has lost

its signal

  the radio station is lost

  to static

the road was lost under

ambition’s guise

  but we’ve maintained a

  durable view


let’s ride into the

hidden sun

  let’s crash into the

  vague unknown

let’s find the dream

we drove away

  while we were asleep

  behind the wheel

floodgates



its a silly suffering

to willingly wade from

the shallow waters

out into the deep


there’s torture in each step

but determination to take the

next and the next and the next,

water rising from chest to chin


a madman’s chortle,

a lunatic’s intensive gaze

as water covers the mouth

covers the nose

and then, submerged


the floodgates open,

the body exhales as the

water rushes in,

tranquility restrains violence


fading away with a smile


everything else

is silent



(unknown internet source)





4 corners




there dressed for summer

a boy bends down

to write his name on

the pavement with

sky-blue chalk


there looking anxious

a kid on the edge

exchanges skag with

a WAG in a Bimmer

he calls Rena


there in the rain

one man stands

with a suitcase

and a hitchhiker’s

thumb extended


there on a bench with

a cane in one hand

and nothing in the other

someone asks

  Where you goin’?

karma’s always smiling



scattered as a 

smashed diamond

whose remaining value 

can no longer

be held


  karma strikes back

  with a heavy hand

  and a pounding fist


  why is she always smiling,

  why that piercing gleam


  all my mirrors are the same,

  she’s behind me in each one


in the light of the smallest sun

I barely twinkle,

smashed and scattered, as

worthless as dust
