SURF'S DOWN

tonight upon a midnight surf

we ride on light
clumsily waltzing to
a spastic keyboard symphony

a clamoring
ill tended infinity machine
beckons
it's contacts screaming for attention

so ignore the tide and the dove for it
shake and yearn and steal for it
ignoring all your pain for it

tonight upon a midnight surf

kill Luna and her shark-like brood
negotiate your lack of sleep and food
and become the next
squirming abstraction caught in it's web

DEATH AND WHY YOU CAN'T AVOID IT

eternal brother
his hand grips mine
not quite together until the end

Excruciating lover
causes me no pain now

undying mother
goes after her son

faceless other
jingles her money slip, smugly
smiles and leaves
my ugly chapel

WAXED LYRICAL

the rhythm pulses
as the lights blast
droplets of sweat
and makeup pool in
the dryness of
winter cracks

an angelic voice
divides the toll of bells
and the curtain hangs
in shame

the shuffle of
stagehands whisper
make spot lights
make silhouettes
make trees and waves

five minutes people

CONVERSATION

The waves fall and crash wildly
on the ceiling
the bees are madly waving their bottoms
and wiping their wings
as if to cleans their conscience
The coloured murmurs of individuality blend to Grey in this sonic ocean
they become one
but what is the message they convey
how far must we go
which direction will we choose
quiet please
I am trying to listen
