Jim Morrison moon

quiet is the street i walk tonight
the lights are all at ease
Casa Blanca star lit sky

with Jim Morrison moon above me

i can’t feel my presence

in your melancholy leave
i can’t feel my pull

in your unfathomable rejection

the river tides are crawling by
in this wilderness of roads
the boulevard is void of sparkle
in the mind a church bell booms

in the highest of these jagged hills
the madness of my love sick dreams contours

slipping into the wicked ground

under the throbbing quiet

Beaudry hosts a saxophone

Bixel lies ahead in candle light

i’ve turned this corner every day

for many needs and wrongs

all to find nothing

without any cause

my time was wrong again

she was calm after

i tore her from her family

never did she whimper

as her life bled out from her

and as she slowly perished

the beauty shone in her purity

she still hung on for you

shame grazed me after

she looked at me and smiled

that night my flower passed away

in my cold hand trembling at

the sight of your invisibility

she was a symbol of all you

meant to me

now departing

tonight the great primordial womb

calls me back

the womb she said, “Jacob, my son, it’s time to go.”

dear lost angel please don’t cry

we did agree that we would not be eternal

although the diamond rings in your banking district

are the most precious i’ve ever seen

the rings of Saturn beckon with their greatness

yes, yes my love, i know

how delicious the curves of the lot on Paramount are

but a million platinum words spoken to all of infinity

on the silver screen cannot hold me down

my Lady Queen of Angels

host to all of God’s creations both real and false

purveyor of riots, scandals and botox

cowboys, beaches and dahlias of all colors

the great universe summons

i fall in backwards toward my youth

but not before kissing the great Pacific farewell

time

the beauty of it all

lies in her infinity
born into a simple and unlimited existence

the diamonds in her eyes are as gods to me

so small a creature am i.
she offers the bounty of allness

and the sacredness of truth
but my arms are only capable of meager embrace

flanked on all sides by my humble humanity.

Civil War

time travels fast when i need her more
and she, the infinite sadist

moves slow when i need the pain to go
the shapes of the universe linger
slightly to the west affording neither light  -nor shade-
the children offspring bastards
of antiquity cradled in a grave
and clouds of hated Gods are formed to see who can wave
their cloth the highest

fire

powder

soot blind

in city smog

machines west bound fast pace

in a slow sacrificial lane to an edge

where do my brothers stand and do my sisters still weep for 

what?

i an old child raised on Hollywood schemes TV land and reruns

nursed on bitter milk of a fork tongued script

raised by bumper sticker testament as the spirit and the law

mingles between tithes and taxes Lord and Caesar bedfellows

of the host parking meter temples DMV vaticans bus bench

prayer ritual before dawn

re-issue of pedigree from the DSMV bible while marked on the

tender restless soul with the selective serotonin reuptake

inhibitor sigil       

where do my sisters run and do my brothers still see what  

for?

runway to the sunset where the wind rests

wings are made of gold

thoughts fly away

flicking grace

silent
