 summers almost gone -29.09.20

walking to your tan salty body

collapsing next to me

wet blade hair in a turban handing me

a spliff and coffee

dragging out

to the deal taco drive through

thinking of you

realizing

days are getting shorter

sumers almost

gone


 John Brown’s body-30.09.20

awaking

another day

less free

the proud boys

stand ready

I chamber a round

before emerging

Tikvah-29.09.20

a chilly morning

black coffee, blues

agent 575 left us behind

full on reality

Open fire

m203: single-shot 40 mm under-barrel grenade launcher designed to attach to a M16A1

with my surreal M203 let off desert flower grenade

followed by a full clip of Irish roses   from my absurdM16A1

575

never turns

she

goes full on reality

I watch

screaming, no! fascism, and hate is there

she jumps

into

mundane

into

ordinary


I can’t

penetrate that veil

I go where we met

the

swirling sands

of

fate

where we swam

beautiful tidal pools of passion

currents of desire

Tikvah: word for hope in Hebrew 2) it also means cord or rope, which comes from a root word that means to bind or to wait 3) a precious drug, that fuels us

I will take my last shot of Tikvah

 It’s a fact-19.09.20

That ON  the day

RBG DIED

2 black birds took her eyes

Flew them

see

All the people she helped to see

sunset in Tahiti


It’s a fact

that she left a memo

outlining charges to be brought against  fascist

It’s a fact

that

when the  black birds

replaced the eyes

RBG

there were happy tears

 Walking on  stars-20.09.20

morning black coffee & blue steel

an angry fix

Prophecy spray painted on the overpass

Andromeda Galaxy 537,000,000 light years from earth

walking on Andromeda

floating through the cosmos

you’re so far away

need you near

expect little

receive less

fruit of the earth work of human hands

10cc’s clear elixir

you should come

let flow to that Centre in your soul

sanctification takes place when a person enters heaven and becomes totally and irrevocably united with God in the beatific vision.

inside you

I am sanctified

Come with 

Me yesterday

Tomorrow 

Today

We will walk on stars

I live betwixt worlds
