Seaside tides like magic carpet rides
Sweep o’er my last stickle lung tonight
For echoes mock my tired eyes
And diamonds crawl where a whisper hides
I said it
All the sandman skies shallow…

We are as pilgrims to the lucky ones
In mirrors we see we feel we are
Partners one and all
Today we share like roads and clouds

Awake again when the world calls a slumber
In fields of quaint pixies farming hills o’dust
Aloft like reverb that trickles the bucks asunder
For and aft I think the long wisps are as rus…

Be the current like a glove or intruder
When the rodeo writhes it’s always potent
Be quick, they are blood, as is the weather
To fold down your scalp as a music evolves

Those tricky momen…

Shattered winds beneath my freckle toes
Lift me when the clouds meet and decide
So do the scars, guised under cherry armor
Like a rabbit wounds my tired velvet side

` Beware the gambl…

At night when roses bleed
A tired moon mourns in pity
But I smell sea air dancing
And I see the sex of a city
Yes it’s at night indeed
I look deep upon those eyes
Oh eyes sterling and pra…

I sing the song of the dead bird gone
A love song of the dead and fallen
I used to fly where now I walk alone
Stung by the shadow of a blackened sun

I shed the tear of the weeping …

Wrangle sand and desert juice flood my never boot
As I side step or sashay like a wounded camel
But I can’t crawl on dunes and I am cotton
Beneath a canopy of linen when the cold grounds…

Shout if you must those limping dreams
Those lonely wisdoms are are lost in ease
Come back again when whispers shine
My plague yields beyond a beautiful disease

As if the mailman paints his magic chair
The ducks backstroke the sideways avalanche
And everyone runs to the fingernail pub
For death like the azure night and rum

Oh hail the bus of stars that shake and report
For the wind may sling your broken parts
The scatter tickles the neighbors dine again

He stands by the side of the road
And glances upward of the coming
For the rolling crickets call
For in the night a magic rains

And falling back again like a trumpet
He calls with silenc…

I am pendulum won’t you come see me think
I am green I am red I am left on the brink
I am dancing, so dancing, a rainbow ball
Yes unhinged and you may laugh as I fall

I am glider I will g…

I need a drink
Red wine will do
For the dying and those who know god
I know man, Oh my man

Theories are what we argue for
You believe what you be…

Fast flames flake forbidden fruit
Your armor singed and rotten
Outskirts are the core like eaves
When monster eggs prey tingle
To forlorn promises on the side
of the road frozen
The fr…

Now I know where the stars get the shine
Now I know where diamonds learn to charm
And the wind blows when they open every time
Every pretty thing owes it all to Mairin’s eyes

Now I…

so distant wings and tongues the middle evening
when I watch or rather hear the dancing gulls
o’er the gulf that delivers shells and memories
like a first rain that makes steam shimmy on asp…

The wind tonight like walking feet
So swift so agile and creeping
Through the walls through reality
And breaking my soul against…

All the things that nary grip and sure
As ice – charms …

faces are demons
some are whiskey faces
toothless decay and seasons
faces are treasons
Naked like grey sky fire places
cold and hot
faces alive and without reasons

voodoo smiles

Poverty let me see your light
Like tears and rain, not this time
I know sometimes underneath the mess
Plans are smiles and ice and death and all

Singles brethren take your toll, let’s go …
