26.4.11

Scuffling feet
Pulse of these streets
Shuffling bustling
More steps to make this something
Life coming up
From alleyways they jump
Voices ring in chants
Stopping the suits from their rants
Louder and clearer still
Making change more than any bill
Faces gleam
Under windows' reflected beam
Confident in our dreams
Sure, we'll stir these seas
Not only with laws
But with our bodies. our jaws.

20.4.11

these will not destroy you


Oh the words
Fun and playful syllables
Intent with slight
Entendre
Double and triple and even hearing
Listening to the purpose of your
Mouth that confuses
Meaning of your
Mind leaving pause
Racing through with paces
I like the rhythm of your spaces
Poet giving repetition
So we know where to come in
Jam and take a bow
Drum away
Finger tips for sticks
Knee tops for
Pounding out this beat
Pomegranate red mouth
Yeah yeah yeahs
Chanting with the graces
I like the rhythm of your spaces
Nod to work out the kinks
Of knots tied too many times
Take advantage of
What you know of freedom
Never taking it for granted
The words that camp out under the bridge
I’m thinking about leaving soon
There are so many more places
To fit with the rhythm of your spaces

5.4.11

so simple in the moonlight

Happy birthday gas station boy
No longer but now brinking man
Not so far from sitting under
Tungsten bulbs
Burning bright at middle of night
After adventures too
Trepid and tormenting for repetition
In words here
Talking about nothing
Infinite in this moment
When empty words say absolutely
Everything our hearts mean.
Hoodlums off the freeway.

Let your spirit fill the space between
Each finger tip
Conducting between energies
Flowing within and through and around
Melodies  tugging
Heart strings we didn't know we had
Hands clasped to stay
Grounded and perfect
Elevated to a heightened
Realm of being
Together as one in the many of one
Made by infinite tangling of fingers.
A whole fraction of breath.

Nights of unending
No particular emotion attached
Every one possible present and
Exploded inside and in front
Rocking and shook by
Infinity.
