goodbye. 2014
i get into bed
under three layer
blankets
new year's eve
day
a kitten darts
into the mitten
goes under
toe
with me
we hide from
wind storms
never get
cold never grow
old
god blowin' giant
fronds off
the palms
loves me
loves me not
falling
tree cartilage
almost murdered
us
in twenty
fourteen

last ache. 2014
eye - eye
- eye
there it is again
some sorta pain
no need to ask
god why
listen to the wind
listen to mister coffee
brewing 4
misses
drinks-coffee
away from the pain
away! (the pain)
(somethin' about they don't understand)
(somethin' about what i did not or could not do)
about hopeless
about helpless somethin' about
less and less
nesses
solace
what a word
what a dream...
what a day i had
fallen asleep by the kitten
to end it
wishing i knew
how to curl
round my
tail
too

blue. isolated
the blue
of the blue
bird
was
taken!
no
gave
the blue bird gave
its blue
gave it away
to the sky
so can you
give your blue
to the
sky
so can

DECEMBER 25
Wax pools
on windowsills
roasted chestnut
pine burning
turkey roasting
and dripping
away
coffee and cream
awoken from dream
to dream
sight of snow
or wreath and
bow. and lights
like stars
sound of bells
ringing. nat king cole
singing through the point
of a needle on vinyl
to you
children
laughing and jumping
for joy
smiling christians
at the dawn
of day
the kids take the stairs
three or four at a time
to the tree
and gifts
below
grandparents moved
and moving real
slow
may saint nick
ride his sleigh on
eight or more
magical flying reindeer
deep
to all the homes of all
the bad children
too
to see the no good ones
to forgive them
may saint nick
ride the magic on
to the east
to the islamic children
the buddhist children
the hindu children
the hebrew children
so all
of all faiths
feel loved
big and little children alike
on christmas day
good and the bad
naughty and nice
ones who eat meat
ones who eat rice
ones who never seen
the sparkle of ice
and may we learn a thing
from our imagination
this Xmas
and learn to love
more easily
now
on windowsills
roasted chestnut
pine burning
turkey roasting
and dripping
away
coffee and cream
awoken from dream

the turnaround
i crash and burn
my world falls
down
i get right up
then turn
around
a letter from a jailhouse
jay-cat
tries to work behind
the tired eyes
take me down
from Dubai heights
strip my inhibition
stark naked
hollering
mad
far
from sunlight
to depths below
the dolomites
recessed
in death's sincere sound
of silence
pervasive and persuasive
fears of senseless
resounding
violence
i'm lost already
in tomorrow's retribution
the fantasy labyrinthine
of my furious
mind
my world falls
down
i get right up
then turn
around
a letter from a jailhouse
jay-cat
tries to work behind
the tired eyes
take me down
from Dubai heights
strip my inhibition
stark naked
hollering
mad
far
from sunlight
to depths below
the dolomites
recessed
in death's sincere sound
of silence
pervasive and persuasive
fears of senseless
resounding
violence
i'm lost already
in tomorrow's retribution

enveloped in media glaze - fin
There i am
lagging realtime...
red is now blue
and blue is now green is
now gold is now
silver
silver surfing
edged off a
screen
separated from the sugar
the lemons turn
orange
there i am
doing the dishes
with my eyes closed
day-trading milliseconds
making a moment
per trade
sometimes life feels like
convincing a pig being hammed
was a cure
there we are
we need another miracle
one was not enough
mother nature
on a rampage
the killing kind
there we are
renewal in the rain
refilling a prescription
for affliction
sensation of merlot
down the gullet
some sorta warmth
there it is
the opiated vision
tele path
tele vision sets
a course for
disaster
i used to tell myself
you are just plain rotten
the best in me
i had downright
forgotten
verboten
another fifth of a second
time traded away
there we are
our gps in
reverb
we are the echo
of a sliver
of a moment
in time
promoted unconditionally
shamelessly
feverishly
it is so sad to watch her unfold
fate. nostalgic
like a carpet
stashed away in the back of your closet
you see all the old stains
and remember
and unravel
this is why i roll it up
and choose
destiny
