spell
touch the sun melted wings
silly old bird raucous
impatient mismatched feathers
painted in the key of absurd
indecent indecorous inconvenient
book of shadows written in
upside down backwards
improvisational integrative
caution to the wind
hard head head first
cats's-paw backflip
land on feet
purr
It's
just
me...
embers
ashes appear dead to mortal eyes
melted ice piss steam
mud
or so you think
and fall asleep beneath
a dizzy making sparkled blackness
breezes like laughter of naughty spirits
catalyze oxidative chain reactions
energy exchange split log crackles
voices haunt dreams evoking
covens dancing illicit music
sparks jump borders
abundant tinder
exquisite devastation
laboratory of the mother
Susie picking at scabs...
alpha
knots bruises ligature marks
all about my neck and chest
strangled from the inside-out
what myths have done
to rend psychic flesh
compares not to
cleverly employed self-evisceration
smarter and meaner there
is no worthy adversary
save for the selves
and we are merciless
untrainable
i am always
two in one my own
evil twin the mirror
unto myself
near sighted study close
pick my brain for land mines
mapped and marked with colored pins
the chilling fears and astringent puckers
slick liars leave behind
half of me lives that clouded vision
half of me observes in horror
half of me calm holds a scalpel precisely
removing the hard-crusted lumps of
poisoned saplings one at a time
pardon me as i flit by
shedding sparkles and
spring morning birdsong
all minds of me know the secret
i am free
anachronistical
restraint
seductive boots hip waders
leather crop cage
monkey in the middle
heart drips rainbow
sparkles butterflies in
pulsating 3/3 time
gyroscopic skirt fantasy
marble columns
cliff dwelling
spider webs
like boulders that move themselves
weave-singing a story
older than people
möbius
twisted perfection
almost unadulterated
slightly disheveled
doll that sews
her parts back on she
feels the seethe and
the suppurate
the intent behind the mask
asking nothing
expecting nothing
only loving
