Skeletal

Up the ladder
and into the dark
clouds gather

Speak of data
empty cavities
hide it

long and thin
wind is weeping
calling crushing

Numbers change
with the season
happy happy

A spell is cast
for a moment
did you feel it?

Artist

Flying structured shadow
nobody can define
I sent a card too late
it will arrive after the big day
America walking more
than usual walking sugary
down avenues tall
thoughts about songs
their meanings
flowers so fierce
from what I remember

Flying Cool

Oh wrapped up
ready to go
despite the heat
in spite of day

Ear plush cave
you know how you
inspire fast sound
Flying out glistening
perfect cool so
great to hang with

Druid!

Invite me to that bon
fire moment your heart
of hearts between poetic
appointments large scatter
winds hardened into stone
thousands of years old
a thousand you prescriptions
said take you before sleeping
call back the morning.

Future

Is that what the future holds?
Your name parked along the curb
poems at ten and two
of expert interior dash
of radio song perfume
turns clicks dials
gauges phosphorescent
under olden jagged mineral
landscape of pools of light
without any static
awaiting my interference.

Mineral Sky

I drank water just a sip
from the dark lagoon that was
all it took to throw the data
topsy turvy into a realm
of forgotten deadlines missing links
remote mineral sky.

What had I expected? More dust to grind
chomping on shreds plant material
it was old hat I was newly hatched
a minute past noon daylight savings time.
Those twins their transfusions
my dream of them free free
walking around in animal form.

Analyze Key Events Through Examples

Maybe then it will make sense
empty room all chairs in rows
ready for the mundane for me
they carried elsewhere
across a bridge into the future
I need you to help sort it out
to place a dinner plate shining
on the checkered cloth next to
utensils bright as the moon
through the window melatonin
clouding it all up despite the rinse
polish squeak ready for another use.
