Every Vantage Point Proffers a Keyhole
catfish breaching
sun-splashed
glistening waves
of Carroll Creek
new age hippies
dance in
bell bottom daze
with war vets
in wheelchairs
congregating
near their usual spot
shea butter
melts into eyes
some scenes are too
terribly awesome
to witness fully
so how could I capture
a deadpan snapshot in a poem?
dissolve continues
particle fragments
component isolates
every piece playing its perfect part
it couldn’t be any other way
else it wouldn’t be at all
every choice
every decision
every step
every righteous action
every shameful misdeed
every success
every regret
every birth
every death
every flux in the program
every breath of the simulation
if it weren’t for the dive-bombing duck
splashing soft in forgiving waters
God would be forgotten behind the veil
Doubling Down in the Pews
Requiem for a shot
star, tourniquet twisted
Grapple with target
hunker down, accelerated rise
Brain like Jell-o – oh snap
gooey plasma, liquid exhaustion
Hybrid theories of alchemical
chimera tangential transformation
Plasma slithers through pearl teeth
the crash of white light
Eye to eye
pixie cinema
Scattered playing cards
tarot down the hatch
Projected enchantment
hollow reverb fiesta
Exponential aging
with wisdom in tow
Torch the absent liquor
gasoline hybrid concept
Pull the plug, raise set sails
pulsing lunar target weeping
It’s a rough life
baby
but we’re burning righteously
at both ends
and honing our prayers
for the encore
Spilling Through Little Cracks in Consciousness
airborne apex
parallel and adjacent
juxtaposed against
the compass cross
dead halo center
the blades, translucent
edged razor (wire) wise
into the final blissful abyss
trained undercover, stealth maneuver
with open blinds and tired comfort
we shouted in joy
until it turned to exasperation
learned about the light
before falling in love with shadows
integration techniques
welcome to your mirror (lover), lover (mirror)
