insomnia hello
i see you brought thoughts to me
gush into the head
fear primordial
followed me from Eden’s cast
with children untamed
the screaming screens light
canopy of lies oozing
sullying frail life
as you turn away
subtle twilight engulfs me
rebirth awaits there
precious shards of angel tears
above the Staples Center skyline
a helicopter or two
green heavy military
did you see the angels’ lace
made of colors not yet named
on the ground concrete pillows
bricks pipes crossing lines
multiplying multitudes
faces looking up
to wonder
how the rainbow got it’s high
its virtue and its glow
xray visions time flows through
yet we don’t know
we are the spectrum of it all
engine speaks in tongues at times
pulls into the soul
stops dusty clotted roads
the time to move was now
like a parade
on protest days
green mile flowers
line the way
sun kisses face alone
under hood hoses roar
radio delivers telegrams
from simpler times
and long ago
trails like waiting mothers
daughter shacks lined down
their shack feet shoed with poppies
ruby slippers anti-Hollywood style
ghost maidens sell red berries
for crows atop the Joshua trees
for me to feed
can’t stand tall
only in awe
dream catch spider web
crystals for tiny arachnid queens
their king hides under the rocks
wind fingers my aging hair
cowlicks everywhere
magnetism from Her core
presses on my mouth
and leaves a score
locked in me
are secrets stored
warriors express on Her behalf
not because they deem Her less
but because She is too sacred
for this place where i come from
it’s cold
fog morning
cemetary waking up
birds pitch black
mean beaks hell song
yellow eyes like jewels at antique store
flowers stand at ease
giants among the remains of someone’s mother
peace thriving in the land of make believe
worms yawn loudly
slipping in the dew
sky pewter gray
tufts of pink and baby blue
like your dilated pupils
that still seep into my miserable days lowering the golden bamboo blinds
the strong black coffee obsidian in my cup
gaping for molasses
amber golden brown from Canada
Neil Y nameless horses guitars and essence of sand
i sip and i wonder
welcome back tonight you sad and pale wolf moon
i thought we were through
pacing and sinking i wrestled you out
only to find you in my heart
why do you come wolf moon unmovable fool
you are a life sentence
when i got born you were there to receive me
when peace took a powder
both faces of the clock urge me to tell you
welcome back tonight you sad and pale wolf moon
will you stop my doubt
i’ll keep pushing you outside
let me lie alone by this brook of dwindling despair
Billie with her lamenting mouth around midnight noon
“I’ve got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues”
welcome back tonight you sad and pale wolf moon
sitting on rooftops you toast your light
on my wild girl hair
with my fingers cramped pull up a comet
lay your silver fire on me
don’t hide away after our tasting
who fell into whose clutches
welcome back tonight you sad and pale wolf moon
little green cactus
kneeling in the sunlight
coffee soil all around
its white pot-bellied pot
heart calm palms dry
no dust storms in the lights
crooner serenades me
tells me about the days of wine and roses
that have left an unclear life
thoughts dawning
eyes drawn into a book shelf
toys pictures memories
rubbing elbows with Buk and the Bard
while the cats purr the moment away
still my heart calm
arteries stretching out like tiny arms
shut my eyes and wonder how
i can be happier
you might never know
that the brilliance of your words
sets my essence free
cherish your life their eyes say while they take a sip from the poisoned well cherish all life organic beautiful gross untouchable evil or good all of it without boundary cherish the Unknown be wise some day you will know Us don’t question why or how we happen to be here their eyes sang in choir question your heart on how to move your soul onto higher ground all is not what it seems we are all not who you think we might be cherish your mind think think think and question your brother but cherish him as well the time of cheeks is over reason cannot not work without selfless charity from your heart cherish who you are
gold hot life
resurrection giver
to sleepy weeds soon turned to flowers
spread queenly ample ultra violet thighs across asphalt parking lot
and in betwixt the cracks of crowded city streets
there too there is growth
nurse mother Sun antiseptic in your love
disease and sorrow annihilator
You smile and wrap around my shoulders through my sagging window
and i thank you
words less spoken
