THE SIGN

fire in the sky - telling me to hide
but I don’t know
which side

and you will see the sign - showing you the way
you will be the light and you 
will learn to fly



THE SIGN












before you fall asleep
you must count your sheep
and all without - a peep

ON ME


there is a rhythm in this flight
a hollow entrance in the night
a majesty on feathered wings
a sign that better comes of things

the dew has barely faded green
than form ascending in a dream
as blackbirds facing the unknown
swirling heavenwards alone



ON ME

if all you can see
is what doesn't work
then you shall live in a world
where nothing works











right
don't trust you
ya, you look strange - where u from?
what you lookin' at?

yer not American, not Canadian, swamp dark
now ME, let's talk about me

I was BORN here ... belong here
it be my God given right to live here, without you
ok, we let you in but you need to learn to tow the line
step back and take a bullet for the dream team
I mean, we landed on the moon!  Invented the computer!
what have you done? (thinkin' jacksh*t)
WE made this world what it is

don't like?
just go back to yer sh*thole country and die then
I have everything I need and I aim to keep it!
you can't take it away 
all mine

PICTURES OF HOME


I have come to the borders of sleep 
the unfathomable deepforest
where all must lose their way, however straight
or winding soon or late; they cannot choose
win or lose


PICTURES OF HOME








here, love ends ... despair
ambition ends all pleasure and all trouble
although most sweet or bitter here ends in sleep
that is sweeter than tasks most noble

there is no book or face of dearest look
that I would ever turn to from now on
still, I must enter and leave alone
I know not how or why

FLESH AND BLOOD

dying man ...
doctor, I feel this pressure in my chest
can’t breathe - I don’t get it, I’m still young
why is this happening to me?

doctor ...
it’s stress - here take 3 of these daily
and come back in a month
if you still feel any pain

SAD WALTZ

she wasn't sad anymore
she was numb
and she knew
somehow
numb was worse

MOMENTOS

we don’t talk so often anymore
and you are miles away
but I hope you know
that you remain my home

and lately I've been feeling 

homeless



M E N T S













I'm lucid - somewhere between
awake and asleep
talking to myself
a lot

fragments fermenting in ferocious furious
dementia distributing drainage
forever forgetting
fragrant form

regrets and that which I cannot change - won't change
beckoning betrayal, disciplining the damage
hanging on to her soap on a rope
gazing into the contour
in awe

screen gem - seeing them
in a different world
out there - somewhere

safe
