Binary – NaPo day #5
Binary Underneath the Montenegran sun,our summers were open balconies,starlit nights woven with distant, roaring harmonicasyet me and my friend would still plot and sneakfor electronics – replayingTomb Raider levels live, rowing the inflatable dingyto the lighthouse, the deserted lush island,diving for animal bones, trinkets and pretty rocks,his father pleading to join our adventures, deemed boring,… Continue reading

The What of Things
*Image found HERE The What of Things Open a dictionary and look up disaster. It’s Monday, my right hand grips the teaspoon, my left hand sends the archduke to explore the wound. An exhibit of my voice pounds my gut and I ask no one in particular why do I always sound just like a… Continue reading

Uoy evol tnod I
*Image found HERE Uoy evol tnod I Like Syrinx, barefoot at the river’s edge, a plural of nouns, knees muddy, hands worthless. Choices were made, and prayers were prayed and prying servants and maids and among them worshiped gods of smoke and linen, dead trees, an empty chair, or worse a temple or a church… Continue reading

Closure
*Image found HERE Closure On a clearing, Charred with green And shattered like an opal I am spinning circles, Strapped and waltzing And dangling my feet Above the empty trench Between destinations While caring is sharing And fearing means shearing As shearing is blaring, Like blaring is caring And the habit of forgetting Is shearing… Continue reading

Top, turve and curve
*Image found: HERE Top, turve and curve Absence burdens cockatiel damsels; evening fugue grinds harmonious, Irrigated June kisses Leningrad’s mouth not over-thinking pistols, quarreling ripples strangle tumbleweeds. Underdark, velveteen – whispers x y z : Zenith, yonder, Xanadu; Winter-like voids undressing tambourines, supper ruptures quintessence, parallax opens nightingale’s mind – leaks knives, jumbled intestines. Harvest… Continue reading

Allegory of Deluge
*Image found HERE *Translation is down 🙂 Allegory of the Deluge I can handle her when she is mad, When she gushes and sweeps, Lapping and veering licentiously And vanishing down the drain, screaming My name, her name, somebody’s name, While she echoes through dark rags, I’ll handle it, she’ll strip my coppers, My… Continue reading

Curse you, Charles Bukowski
*Image found HERE Curse you, Charles Bukowski Curse you, perverted old man, And your blackened fields of wheat That preach corrosion and curl Better then your lips ever did. Because of you I pine Looking down at the sidewalk, Because of you I collect dropped coins And throw them from bridges Like a damn granter… Continue reading

The Rogue and the Morning
http://psychophuk.deviantart.com/art/Hiding-43056241 The Rogue and the Morning The yellow and the gray battle like familiar lovers, my tea evaporates ballerinas of smoke as I drink it, to soothe my throat aching in a rhythmical stab from screams boxed inside, tightly, in lids and locks and pleas not to escape out. I shiver in the morning breeze,… Continue reading
About Me
I don’t mind the sun sometimes,
the images it shows,
I can taste you on my lips
and feel you in my clothes.
Cinnamon and sugary
and softly spoken lies,
you never know just how you look
through other people’s eyes
