sitting in double lotus palms pressed

August 14th, 2007 at 6:23 pm » Comments (0)

eyes half-closed breath regulated
on the tripod base two channels circulate
seven chakras spin, the snake creeps
animus – the tension of consciousness
lengthening and settling with gravity
 
visual-eyes: a golden beam of light
burning orange bright spine parallel
stretching further than the mind permits
180 degrees a line that impossibly
(out in space) curves in on itself
to return recharge a burst of energy
 
all […]



continues 2 come together

I’ve been so
Pulled apart
Sure I spent all the $
But who cares about that?
I have climbed through
The hole in my perceptions
Felt the house crash down
Around me, intention ripples
Electricity, the deed slips out
Shower of sparks and thunderclap
1 2 punch of life, rhythm of walking
pushed along, reeling in this thin cord
inhalation spins a shuttle heart bone part born
fulfillment […]



What is the new path the day gives birth, limning eyelids rays of golden light?

2 break your mind
cut through ripple on
fingertip tremble transcend
resound touchdown
intricate circuitry
tracks we weave
tattoo earth drumbeat
masks cast off
chip away
breath it down
the center is a spiral
turning twisting
propels explosion
nervous meltdown
tension streams liquid
but you gotta
reign it in
bob and weave
rise and sink
with gravity
catch time
pounce and ride
bucked off
roll through
get mine



bicycle riding

hop on and we’re off/humbling to have
 
tensions expressed, axis wobble
 
gears translate the force yet the knees
 
torque, something spine twitching impulse realign repeat
 
90 180 rhythm of the street
 
wheels whir a trail of rubber we leave
 
curb jumping, crack swerving, a pass with death
 
steel and plastic flash punch tunnels predetermined
 
but bikes go where they please
 
time to strengthen improve […]



detonate apocalypse

How does it come 2gather, breath pushing
 
Nerves abuzz, hauled 2 the top of this hill
 
A heap/our fears and expectations/jumbled bones
 
And these masks we contort afraid 2 look self in the I
 
Pressing in against each other, friction 2 heat
 
Smoldering and the pinnacle catches a breeze
 
Lights ablaze, juice sucked out, dance of flame
 
Gravity does the rest



making love

Not fucking
 
Not about sticking this inside of you
 
To substitute these acts
 
To prop up and sustain notions about
 
Who I am, not a failing masculinity that
 
Needs and proves relentless unsatisfied
 
Rub dick raw, useless detached paradox
 
Simple orgasm beat off
 
A preoccupation with this predicated upon
 
The untenable and flawed nature of such an approach
 
Brings us back to repeat the same […]

mystery recede revolve come round corner to curve melting gravity arc matter 2 energy 2 matter
inputs and outbursts, braid this fray/dig it up/cut it out
a little change won’t hurt
a little change won’t do
2 strange 2 say 2 stay 2 discover away passing through 2 morrow
hollow marrow parroting parody due borrow, beg
break a leg, drink it […]



your so-called civilization

April 11th, 2007 at 8:57 pm » Comments (0)

Doesn’t impress me much
 
Mad nightmare toxic holocaust
 
Fostering rage and confusion
 

 
Invader power fetish, conquer control
 
This land soaked with blood
 
These streets steeped in misery
 
We are the left behind, the don’t fit-ins
 

 
And it’s our dreams that won’t fit
 
Your wage slave service economy
 
Seems to have leapt beyond
 
Reason and self-survey
 

 
How you refuse to see
 
The commonality, that this experience
 
Is a shared […]

Static notions bleed out
 
Percussive memory shift this
 
Ancestral longing for justice
 
In the market of unfulfilled needs
 
My children go begging, stained with grease
 
Subsisting on trash how it horrifies
 
Open eyes, festering lies are open wounds
 
Closed too soon, the pus pours
 
Fly festooned, maybe you’d rather
 
Ignore first ask father, hurry on
 
I prefer to linger, fist melt to fingers
 
Breath frost frozen […]
