so there's more than we bargained for

time to get outside
life to bring picture
life to bring you
wishing about nothing
here me calling
in the morning
when we were well insane
stuffing love into blocks
hanging on our hips
all the sounds escaping
vanquished unkissed lips

i no kill
i know love
i know nothing bad
i know something good
are you ready
for what we all
steering home
i'm sure
i could

kiss lips unvanquished
the all escaping sounds
hips hanging
into loves blocks stuffing
insane we were too
in the evening
call me hearing
nothing but wishing
bring you to life
picture to bring life
get outside to time

land in the middle




put everything we have in the middle
just like in that game
back in the day
show what you have
hiding away in your pockets
no matter what happens days

you can always just remember
what it was like
crammed into that car
with all those minds
wasting away to something i can never have
that huge deep breath squeezing through the speakers

the stream was so close and outside
was so strange
although we laughed we were scared
we felt safely safeless in our youth
in the garages of our parents
knowing one day we would be set free

now we have become what we have become
with all this behind us
stroking our memory
feeling that breath
smiling so hard
being in between and on the other side at the same time...
....
...

as above so below


cramped inside where the understanding soaks
all the cakes untidy in a row
cutting it out from above
letting it fall from below
right into
our mouths

tell us the story of the traveller
tell the story of his son
tell the strangers eyes apart
tell everyone

our mouths fall from below
cut out from right into
what was above
rows of cakes soaking
untidily cramped
in understanding

tell us the story...

Ribbons

swirling sideways
suspended then stopped
focus on floating fires breath
smoked out faces living death
lignified in signified eyes
of cameras in disguise
whatever visions cushion sets
placing all your solutions best
features on display for brains
tracing outlines in the air
compare compassionate heir
to the ones who long to stare

starstuff


buried in two...
and seperated at birth
decomposed
into fiery incomplete
nothings
before heat gave into the core
and they orbited
each other
around and around

no-one was there
to take photos
or images
or video
no-one was

just this globulous mass of everything
we know today
that's all in front of us

everything you see
is starstuff.
don't ever forget
where you came from....

here comes your man (sing with your mouth wide open)

you never wait so....loooooong....

Under


unedited life promise
unbolted before our eyes
compromises untied underneath
underwhelming undergarment skies
unappreciated beings
from unadoptable orphanges
underestimate their unmothers
and unfathers and unothers
and unsadness
unthinking they would be
so double plus ungood.
unschooled and unshackled
and unscrupulous
unsealed documents behave untaught
untangle the words unthinkingly
and rebehave unwisely.

sonnet 50


Dedicated to the point of return.
There was never ever, every body,
cloudy dusty antibodies, trying
to make everything all right in the world.
How seriously the social skin burned
when there was always one hundred bodies.
Smelly sardines just sitting there fitting
into open cans, lids so tightly curled.
The odors slightly in the air did churn.
Neighbours, parents, children, everybody
turning their noses toward the sky, smelling
all the better air way up there unfurled.
If you accept the sadness all around
getting off the ground is easier found.

inDirection (in haiku series)

elevate instance
upward into tall high fields
of mindful whispers

push down decision
deeper far in some rich ground
let raw slowly grow

up is wherever
slow down is now anywhere
indifference blooming
