pencil, pen, drill

remember it mattering
the day after
the twisted roots of April
do cover your head with
your hands and remember, then
and its promised oblivion
do you remember the cold brotherhood
you felt to the other
your hates and loves
your spectacular jealousies
mounted on TV
the movies and the huge
submarine logos
that circle even now the sea
like a ghastly uncle unheard
in the attic, screaming to nobody.

next to the green field
and the
side of beef
i dwell, citizen
of the deceased estate, longer than
a dream shadow
snatched for
white wash, and canvas desperate love
like a song filtered through the muslin of
eyes
the shock of love lost moves
like a hand dealing
cards
blows to
the head
the tomb stone rips up to the daisy sky
and avalanches of graves
follow the
heart as it
reasons itself to the
carbon map of
dry bone
and ash velvety
as the newest skin

talk because August caught
sleepers in January dream
automatic decent
wine launched the
permanent me
so qualified
as a memento:
ghost
a silver chain
to... asbestos
there the original mooring,
the posted soul
south-west
sage, smugged
across
apt
green-ways, corridors
vacuum cleaners sealed in the
museum mind> listening
for the dust to
creak,
the mustiness opens
up to fresh love, the
coast all sea foam
&
salt
lust
broken album, bathroom shoot ups
and
the silent night of Christmas
all
drip
drip
drip
through the steel evening
through out
the hopeful sleeper-
a mind, through
August caught
in auto-launch.

What i knew as automatic
the waters at mid morning
the corner store filled with bread,
with beer-- with equal sunsets-
the sidewalk has led me in a
circle to my past, the
long fault line
of time
burst the global
muscle of eternity
over the lips of love
speaks the
dark hunter the curly fries
of truck stop dust
and earl grey silent tea &
lemon, the beautiful day
a bar full of parasols
like a country Like
all of Asia combine
to spring suns
from a rust cage of calenders
to fall at once jokes
weapons toys yo-yos
egg yokes gold
you know
the standards of
cheap mystery.
