POETRY, Season with the Huntress

The river is constant

The river is constant
always flowing in a circle
not as the snake which in the end eats itself,
that is death.
No, that of the sun and the bear,
false deaths and resurrections.
the longings of the ways of skin,
to suckle the water and honey of life;
the surge of my body buried into hers,
flexing ambiguous staggering perfection,

Drenched in my own natural waters,
I come of age.
A little late it may seem.
A secret reserve gave it back to me.
A blue bitter song, I learned so long ago,
Unmoved by itself,
helps me recall my unique disclosure,
which pulsed through my veins
as I stood naked before her,
presumptuously barking out words
and sentences with my guttural rasp.
& She, walked around like a holocaust,
no tangible discretion
nor flimsy consistency.
“What are you really saying?” She probes.
Her eyes were unbreakable,
and her voice,
with words cooked low in the heat of her rage,
began to elevate about the room.

No, I have not forgot it, that wet leprous kiss;
then suddenly seeing the fallen face of an angel
peer angrily through the window,
as my hand reached up to unsnap the clip.
Nor can I deny the want to do it again.
I guess, there was a desire for every woman;
I wonder if these things were that well hidden.
Can I look at a woman and not want?
but that is the man,
the spirit wants something different.
How can I satisfy both?
Can it be found in one woman?

I know your way

“I know your way,
when pressed
you leave.
this no more unexpected
than you sinking into the shadows of the city,
or going completely silent
in a middle of a conversation,
lost in thought.

“I watch from a distance,
with respect.
Though I’d like to cross the street
To stand beside you
And see what you see.
I wonder what battles you’ve fought
to make it here.
After a somewhat more difficult life,
you are aware they will lie;
and that their lies will serve themselves,
not you.
So one dream alone can reveal your grief,
Or your ecstasy. “

POETRY, The Uncollected Poems

I take everything doubtfully

1
A bat hangs upside down
during the day sleeping;
but at night he comes down eats.

I can see the doubt
hang from the ceiling waiting;
but at night it comes down eats.

I take everything doubtfully
even hope.
I had a dream once
but when I woke,
I could only remember half of it,
and at the end of the day
the rests fades
and I remember only I had a dream

2
Sometimes we act
go in and out
do this and that
and easily forget
what it was
we were actually
setting ourselves up for.

How truly we don’t know anything.
-I don’t miss you.
sign out before you leave
and don’t take the pen.
OUCH!

Waiting

How many times have I waited
here at this spot
playing with the links in the chain
spinning it around
pulling it through the poles,
seeing how much I can pull to me.

Silently you kiss me
your breathe tastes of smoke and beer.
Can you really see the air?
You could be looking at nothing
but air.
This silence
this wondering
I fear the pain you are causing yourself.

How many times I’ve wanted to leave
let you come to this spot
like you do each day
and wait
for an hour a year
in your silence.

Twenty-One

Soft delicate hands
cover my eyes
goose bumps shiver
gentle lips press my ear
“guess who.”
the words tickle my ear.
I turn and press my lips against hers

“I was another person.”

I look down
a kiss
That’s not enough,…is it?
It’s all changed now.
Whatever I lost,
What ever I cried for
is not mine.
Those wild gentle eyes
can never be mine.

But they were within my reach.
Didn’t you see it?
Alright it’s true
nothing is ever enough;
images split truths
into empty liquor bottles
spread across the floor.

Sooner or later
we all must throw up
dreams to stain the sheets
