tar blisters
scratching heat
soothes this strange itch
on road to here
present and past meet
the train is very late
yet no pace out of place
coin of desire or pain
flipped on edge
rock-embedded.
another toss delayed,
gently.

touch
lost imminently,
and to time.
toenail scrapes X
with.no.shovel.in.sight
thought of tug here
follow
hint of push there
follow
mobius errors sting
holy twirlers
spinners of divine drunkenness
raining truth in,
one facet of multitudes.
cascade of voices join
toward the end of nights
gift unopened
words in shrouds
what comes here leaves here,
unseen,
now sewn to scars
of uncorked days
untouched to pain
primal womb inverted
matrilineal care to care of matron
now forever seeking,
in oceans dried to salt,
elusive one grain
of which rivers
might have.
rushed
floating secondary burn
searing tertiary burn
no longer contained,
fiercely fed
by shallow breath
clog of locks
scarcity of pulp
heaped remnants.
time-bound, ire
timelessly, fond
chariot of intoxication
pheremonic wind
a separated drunkenness
of the almost-sip
bare
ly there.
hungry in abundant air
shallow heaving of the starved
at feasts of confusion
that moment,
reverse walking,
westward with no shadow,
exhausted by blindness,
chafed by blinders
a late train
splinters of ties
sparks of track
un-fill the unfulfilled
in vacant waiting
glass slipper
shattered in addled crash
fitted to transcendence
until mid-night moan
and then once again.
glass slipper
i danced
a broken dance
of limp limbs
and tears flailing
grappling with the grammar of the revealed
graceful arc
slowly. so slowly
arrives
shorn to a line of binary mystery
nazarean undoing in delilaic defeat
one quarter heads of hair
quivering
together or apart
a darkness of dawn for the blinded
twisted-sheet dreams
on vast vacant slab,
the altar of sweat-offerings
all eaten – none consumed
as a second sacred appetite nears
distance at a
constancy of objection
curled in yearning
toward the convex heart
when a tear hits
the road from here to her
slow smoke
laminar in thought
conceals shimmering heat of heart
where hoofbeats speak
of the tongue in ecstacy
thumb to thumb
index to index
in one slip,
all entwined
expressedly unexpressed
now in lips blossom unabashed
veil falls
rebirth in the anger of shreds
tears for the illusion of gap
recognition of what had not left
mind inverted in joy
entwined with spark
now in fanned flames
unbalanced
ever a partial immersion
in all
wet vision
never lead to taller waves
to the one with blue.
unkempt forest of black
sea of white
now eclipsed in thick sun
with moon of another
orbit
toward decay
moist to the ear
on toes curled
where spear has no hone
and chasm no bounds
for frothing
union
slick sisters
one leg toward heaven
the other in dirt
soiled twins entwined
for a polar mind
now in spring
hot tears
warm tear
impermeably opaque
locks in unison, facing transcendence
in.one.muffled.cry
twice inverted
quaternary dual
of mirrored ecstasy
in infinite overlap
of exhaled creation
in or out
reaching or bowing
thin opaque film
as annihilated witness to this dance
crumbling in humility
to salt of another kind
caress
it follows to no reason
leading to creases
where pause is eternal
clenching heart
this tone,
from another place comes
where seed to seed
two become none as one
eyes avert
expansive resistance
tears to dew
slit to slit
shedding in blissful saturation
the rare gift that flows in abundance
always never there
floating in illusory nothing
face to wave
soft immersive embrace
foaming at edge
soaked
in this intimacy
a gentle tremble
pursed lips collect
speaking in separation
uniting in silence
huddled for warmth in early dawn
unrecognizable in differentiation
forms melding in infinite union
glowing in pleasure
a luminous baring
the infinite clad in no-cloth
erotically debarking circular years
shedding pain of concealment
until the wearer is no more
glory no longer sits at the city walls in rags.
now among us, brushing elbows
exultant rustling awakens all, the intimate aroma setting will ablaze
dewey imprints left on parched ground guide pathless dancers in directionless bliss
the exhale of lovers
in that moment
the ecstasy all encompassing,
now, only a facet of
the fleeting infinite.
the recession leaving a wake of sweat-drenched awareness.
it is close at hand.
can you smell it?
the veil, already thin, tears
light pours forth barely contained.
can you see it? it sees you
and meets you with the tears
of divine yearning in what appears
as your darkest recess.
these words go and come as they please
nectar drenched lovers
lapping at pools of sweaty tears
heady aroma of unveiled ecstasy
intoxicating sight unseen on a familiar coming
