Timeless Dreams/Timeless Escape/ New Years Dream

 

The Girlfriend Experience

The Girlfriend Experience

Will your breath be the only air I wish to breathe?
Will your lips call to me?
Will your touch break my heart but make me whole?
Will your voice sail me to the stars?
Will your gaze emote longing lust fever stardust?
Will your breathing, asleep, awaken me to a million kisses yet?
Will your laughter make my life worth living?
Will my heart, given, feel returned, not riven?
Will your scent, left behind, twist me bind me own me crown me make break me...
Will you let me seek you take you know you bend you remake you Adam & Eve snake you, partake you, madder lake & slake you
Will you.....

Cobwebs, Dust

Cobwebs, Dust

Cobwebs, dust, windows sealed from time
faded photos, art, the smell of morning coffee...

We stopped by the roadside to inspect the house, satanically decorated with hand-painted bottles dias de muertos skulls demons the dead & dying, a squat for occult bikies & disenfranchised evil, it was 1976; my father acknowledged no master, no god no state
but looked seriously at the 5 of pentangles, the adults stopped their curiosity packed me back up in the car & drove off.....
Driving down that dip always reminds me of that roadside place, as though if we pulled off the highway it would be Queensland & my father would be alive & smoking Turkish tobacco & be smiling at the lithe young woman in the floppy straw hat & I in my Principality of Hutt River Sovereign State 1970 t-shirt would I risk another's purgatory for a Lethe draft that past that past.....I guess I would.

Heat to the paint, broom to the cobwebs (& the system, DFW), air through the rooms & fresh coffee made & drunk I look forward to the next memory as I scrape back the past that clings, unwanted, & the past that fades, so wanted, wanted, but brooms & rooms & air & tomorrow......

Kenoma (Unha oración para o eterno )

Kenoma

(Unha oración para o eterno )

Separated by only one letter

but that letter

an alphabet soup

an ocean of words

a billion madrigals

a trillion Carmina Gadelicas

whispered lying down,

little deaths

Only greater rebirths

births

lost souls spilt and

washed away

time's ocean

a'mend of fishes...

Ether/ Real

Ether/ Real

Ready to leave, I stayed
Overstayed it seems

Licked French lemonade lips and saliva

Leeched candy floss, mandarin breath

Into another arena, bullish, primed but
Not ready for toreador,matador,picador
Failure, blind; I tasted it
Like a cipher for lost thoughts & loves
Our shared imminence pumped through veins
Unsatisfied, bloodied, dazed; my carcass dragged
Renew the performance, minutes, days:unbalanced seesaw,playground, play.

Swept Up Up.... and Away

                                                                         Swept Up
                                                                         Up....
                                                                         and Away


                                                                            I.
 We made a bell chamber
rang
noon
midnight
and thought we helped
by pealing through the silence
darkness
night;
But the more I gave
the less you wanted
til you wanted not me
but a down payment on a loan
of what interest your
our
genes
demand:
Ransom of our DNA
must we pay & pay?
                                                                          II.

Strange dreams of tenderness
and sex;
What we want
we want.
Now I look at morning
a fortress of solitude in my mind
a kryptonite world surrounding
The real world, grounding.
