Inversion ::
hyphae spread
how?
moments of decay
these creatures in the rain
attentions undivided
bifurcations cling to chips of Earth
"some variables exist"
those hyphal threads, they
are not mirthful, nor acidid,
no disposition sharpened
or instilled save for a smoky mystery
over-ripe gills
waste down to mush;
pungent broth of putrid
chitin tucked
between the flaps says most:
decay of decayers
King ∧ Queen of Decay

Blue ∧ Pink Moon
a song of stormy sea Blue ∧ Pink Moon
is where we find an apogee of Blue ∧ Pink Moon,
apogee::
the tide rolls out
the tide comes in
the tide comes out
the tide rolls in
there is nothing
left but water
mist thin blue
there is nothing
left but water
great gray
of a deep
magnetic worry
squeezed my brain from the wetland muck (mud)
didn't wanna call it 'self', but the name sure stuck
squeezed my brain from the wetland muck (mud)
decomposition of the spirit.
squeezed that brain from the wetland mud
writhing larvae for my blood,
decomposition of the spirit.
there is nothing
left but water
mist thin blue
there is nothing
left but water
great gray
of a deep
magnetic worry
sat around for a month or two!
dreams sprout wings and away they flew,
sat around for a month or two,
grow a little wiser, smile.
glimpse it once and it's gone again
falling hard like a cold spring rain,
glimpse it once - it's gone again,
an ephemeral wildflower.
there is nothing
left but water
mist thin blue
there is nothing
left but water
great gray
of a deep
magnetic worry
eyes sparkin' green glass on the street
when this body dies gonna fall to peat,
when this body dies, ain't doomed to repeat,
decomposition of the spirit.
made this body for the owl's next blues
county highways, walkin' boots,
made this body for the owl's nest blues,
ringing like a bell!
these are my friends!
let me
introduce you
to them!

breathing in, breathing through
the rainy breezy view :: the doorway
in the back of my
brain ◍,
lung::
if i am old and tepid
allow me to reform
upon my fragile memories
if in complaint i should access them
ooh, if in complaint i should access them
lift that record playing arm
to cheer me on! oh love,
i'll tell you true,
like i was twelve years old
and we were
standing alone above
the shining river
ooh, it's mirrors and it's gongs
you pointed to your frail house
oh, it's windows all
long gone, scattered
by acoustic waves
or sour weather.
in the bowl out back
see the players run,
and jump,
and sing!
fill their lungs up with the failed play! and moonrays
early in the mornin' they evaporate,
part of The Daydream Generation.

live from The Lost City::
one of these days
you'll go for a walk
you'll take a walk through the town
after the marketplace
you'll take a stroll
you'll take a walk
through the town that you live in
you'll take a walk through the town
-- rejoicing --
one of these years
you've got to sing
open your wings for them all
after such time
you've got to swing
take your guitar
you will walk to that bandshell
you'll take a walk through the town
-- sing! --
one of these days
you'll go for a walk
you'll take a walk through the town
after the marketplace
you'll take a stroll
you'll take a walk
through the town that you live in
you'll take a walk through the town

so, i sing::
mirrored
in these rising palpitations,
my pyre flames that lick in elation, so sigh
a raven's call
or wings you savor
all that grow in fruiting
of my labors.
mirrored
in these rising palpitations,
a code of work
that moves so slowly
if i
in an arc or lucid sweating turn
under prelude watchful moon
should burn.
to sow,
i sing.

CYP2D6 2::
so,
here i am again
herald swiftly floating
fleeting
i am the light in your eyes
let us sit down and dine
together
chewing the farce
of another surprise
chewing the farce
of another surprise
so,
here i am again
floating fleeting
feeling
the underpinning of
a virtuality, narrow
and without breath
kicking in doors we both dream
together
or blink without rest.
so,
here i am again
herald swiftly floating
fleeting
i am the light in your eyes
let us sit down and dine
together

raven in the parking lot

raven's wings inverted ::
flipped over the top top!
raven's wings asserted ∧
may they never stop stop!
