Poetry IV
in the resolution
blissfully insane
the deep
tell ma i said hi (a letter home)
an empty vessel
in the resolution


tis i

the binding
of thought falls away
the medium
becomes the maximum
the mum becomes the nun
the nun
becomes the none



each tuesday
a child is taken
on the wild ride to maturity
we
the ADD dults
try to bend time into the past
twisting the minds
of the innocent
there is nothing there
not that we know
for sure anyway yet to be right
we lie
we pretend

yes virginia
there is a santa
and no michael
no one ever really dies

the torn faces of grief
on the television
the burning homes
they are there
we are here

our island is safe
secure complete

no
no
no


come this unbent moment in time
when im just me
the truth is just this

look at it, who are you


it is a kind of peace
when your legs go numb
you tongue goes numb
you words go numb


someday


i will speak

of these things,

and i wont

cry.



the deep

it is there
when the winding wind
relaxes
when the ripples still
it is there
deeper than conversation
full of power, yet ever so gentle
it is there, in the deep,
I do not know its name,
but I am of it.
perhaps there are others.
as silence makes its way
out of chaos, they will see me.


tell ma i said hi ( a letter home)


i banged on this empty drum for years
my tears stains my eye stains never
even near
this emptiness encompassing
the moment

then die, i said
die
don't give me the shit
we all know this shit

people come and go
break it down into breadcrumbs i can follow

go i hate it when people
do that to me
put you in a spot
that you have to
pretend to be
who
you really are, no that sucks

so we made it anyway
life became a carnival
then a carnivore
but its all good
ya know.

tell ma i said hi



an empty vessel

people come and go freely
i sit alone
thundering silently
touching the stars with a finger
the moon rests in the hallow of my hand
what need do i have
of the trappings of the world



blissfully insane

i wander through this world
like an idiot, not knowing
where my home is

pushing a shopping cart
of other peoples words
i stumble into alleyways
seeking people in quiet desperation

reaching into the cart, i hand them
a picture of compassion,
an empty love wrapper,
a hollow tube of comfort, a knowing look.
the void of madness and
the void of the unknowing
are the same.
