last night i saw through sleep--

as she lie light upon me i wept

the emptiness of a seed that

surged her growth.

darkness turned over its soil,

g*d's country of every lifetime

let out an expanse.

i erupted in prayer, forehead to

floor--bowing to Shiva.

as Shakti burned her palms into

the cave walls of my spiritual heart...

i fell so in love that the body's still

searching for itself.

Her profile dared
the precipice of
the ages, with the
most vulnerable
contemplation.
One could see a
rain of saintly
hands touching her
shoulders.
As if to ask: are you
okay..?

there's a wine hid from

my tongue, that jails her

ferment.

holding all seasons in contempt,

her obsession neutralizes poles

of flavor.

she tastes her rigorous reds--

till lightless coercions motion

her blood to perfection.

what is it to wake up

and weep?

have the pits of your

eyes crushed?

she gives me the Ganges.

as my crown arcs it's

fiercely proud sputter--

she watches clear mala

beads spray into the cave

of my Spiritual Heart.

Mothering shattering

experience.

She's so thirsty--from

giving, that her One drink's

a full remembrance.

it is there that water clears

her throat--and I kiss it.

Fully & Truly.

You pick a

Comes the high discernment of what

won't be suffered.

The very life of it returns to be  

mercifully obliterated.

A frenzy of trespass righted, where

lines weren't.

A witness stripped of sides, swears by

seeing--to speak the unspoken.

A warrior cuts to first loyalty.

Never denying what is, never settling for

what is not--all else is premature death.

were that there is, there is--

a mountain

upon a mountain, upon a

mountain's back.

bowing weightlessly to the

highest tier of purple...

Mahadevi's morning sari

in the solitudes of night.

slipped on from a sleep deep

enough to lull sleep to waking.

locks flowing with arms a

long time come, holiest Mother

where everything registers as

she creates it.

all her watchful eyes prepared to

gouge themselves out, rather than

see harm come to her Heart.

the interiorized slow dance

of a crystal ball--lays curves

over the feathers of winged

serpents.

who are shaken into place

through high grass--the

directional pause of full flight.

a beating back ingestion.

their eyes melt into their skulls--

so the incense of ouroboros

may issue.

poor wretches of hallowed staffs--

transients of Edenic boughs.

Tilting head side to side, trying that

sickly crick, a frail crackle swimming

pricked up ears.

Not to free such finely embroidered

tension, but what a dog does with its

head when presented with peculiarity.

Mixing the swirled nuclei of brilliantly

colored marbles.

Your high strangeness puts the tick

in my nervousness, supine-stalemate we

protest for full disclosure of intelligent life.

city heat in hard

black attire, superconductive

glow of a serpent chasing

its tail.

asphalted lay of holy land--

whose bedraggled pulse snorts

in ****** laughter.

roadside augurs fester while

tying the laces of traffic, through

passed out archways.

bird's beaks are broken open,

in mad waterless monologues.

as the nucleus of this wizened apple,

casts oblique shadows... for curly cue-ing worms

flirtatious doom.

sped billboards imminently flattening the world,

under a Columbus-blue sky.

going, going...gone!

ice cream trucks mangle dueling theme

songs, sloughed off by sensational tides of kids.

distraction's lustful lick, an informationless

tombstone busy with curves.

here, whole-body shaves of renouncement...

and steady showers of salt, will make

worthy the truest Himalayan meditation.

birds are talking

away through drawn

they can see their

they hear them.

songs go a long way.

might I say I have

if their words were

their whole history

there comes an

Hoarse as the silence Virgil
wore...to allow for a clearing,
be it a soul.
A spring breeze caught in the
throat of winter saith: "Here
is your point (remain)...when
I cease to blow, so shall you
return."
At the farthest end of loss...
at the closest reach of gain--
their one and the sameness
shall impress a telling.
Hoarse as the silence Virgil
wore...to allow for a clearing,
a soul saith unto itself thus.

It's the sensation
of holding a bird
in the palm of
your hands...its
silky belly and
prickly feet want
free.
There's so much
warmth created
just by holding
that upward energy.
To bind wings to
a ball...
the mind should avoid
that at the moment
of death.

the Japanese have

perhaps a newspaper,

It's like holding

on to a poem you

couldn't memorize,

while your phone's

battery went dead.

finding a pen in an

odd pocket of your

school bag.

to write your palm

into being, at the back

of a half-quarantined

bus.

to forget about the poem

by force of poems that rubbed

it out.

holding on to things.

with the flourish

of a Renaissance

oily glossed in an

hell cultivates the

of blood and beleaguered

in silk sheets holier

I'm a waiting line--a repetitive grand

scheme.

Idle thoughts light each other's candles--

Buddhas line my intestines.

My sight offends karma, even the

darkness behind eyelids creates

pandemonium.

Holiness cuts in front & sometimes lets

me ahead.

Perspectival sin allowed to ooze from the

dots of die I suppose.

As a blind test reveals that only by

going mad, can one gain on the mind.

All I ask is that there's some semblance

of sleep when we fly from bed.

these once wizened strings
pulled by a dull blue balloon,
now wax poetic on a sky
secured by trees.
released in higher and higher resolution--
to blind birds, these lilting spring oracles.
bliss binges forgetting to chew the
***** of it, mad mouthfuls of life.
leaving gathered trails of love's chase,
precariously placed nests ragged
with the quick of it.
the faint sigh of flesh over bone can
be heard in the breeze, then inhaled
as honey gone to the brain.
Onoma 1d
A denizen of horror, a master of

ceremonies--bleeds out the sprinting

digits of a million clapperboards.

Relativistic rods of light showcasing

windows to faces that shouldn't be there.

As his corneas drop like glasses of

nightly milk startled by nonlocal

trespass.

He manages a robe that appears to have

been thrown on the fire of film.

His slippers split fake leather, as they

sequence what inches toward harm--

a screen's inn.

Which waits to reap a seeing.

His ears stock ashy twitters that scale

grizzly discoveries, like beef in a cow's

stomach.

Knowing that one staring at the back

of one's head, guarantees the back of

one's head being stared at in a theater.

With the proviso that there is no front

row (in reality).

He screams in the shower, not because

the water is too hot or cold.

There's something about a

death-obsessed animal sounding through

plaster & piles of brick--coupled with the

whole-body barks of a dog.

Which he loves to play back, as if a

third-party listener.
Onoma Jun 2016
If life cannot be
seperated from
death, if it's
understood as
life-death, instead
of life and death.
That's a horse of
a different color.
If life-death cannot
be seperated from
that which has no
beginning or end...
it can as soon be
reversed to: death-life.
In that light, it would
appear--and it does
seamlessly...our
immortality.

now the rain mimics the

sound of bird bones

settling in their houses

of feather.

or just as easily the other

way round--yet there is no

mimicry, just a connection

made.

that neither in their whole really

such things.

in a time where wholes are taken

away, without a sound.

how Love presages

how it grows across

As one disappearing in

Sometimes I watch
a random stranger's

long it lingers upon
their face.
Secretly I wish it

well after its arising...
watching how
long joy can balance
the pitfalls of a face.

The plaintive surround can rinse
the deep space crush of Hubble's
score.
A fast-paced bandit's sable cloth
homing the absurdum of a priceless

brilliant ways abruptly announced.
The common Light is not passable--
but is in love with eyes...the holy of
holies--rarefied districts commencing
willful overexposure.

Ubermensch gone doggy between your legs,
a minute heathen, incensed prophet, whose
last rites scatter.
Moth-ornate tome in a terrible scream, whose
barbed print appeals to what lucid interval
gains thee.
Heights to take as lovers, brain's genitalia in
a bunch.
Meridians frolic in arms risen, hence, hence--
crushed tumult in touch.
An infectious groveling that other may see,
take hold.
Odd aphrodisiac, you--human half, halved,
halved and halved.
Penumbra, split-screen vision of Zion, come--
I came, I implore with birthright.
A studious damnation leaves us a leprous
expose, eye-candy as sweet as sacrament.
Skies sent and returned gone swamp-green,
can't you feel the interplanetary squelch that's
bound us?
Strange...fool of chills, hunched with electrified
hair come I, full of longing, barren.
Let us decipher one another, break judgement
over our knees, and caress one another's
downturned eyes.
Let us have a look at one another till we become
worldwide, let us perfect our immoderation.

In the belly of burden,
flesh was held by

Life drew life...as

More full than this, there

As the draw deepens...
hunger Knows what it

examination--subject: nondescript, grade:

the wooden board soring his ***, remains studded

he walks to the front of the classroom, & places his

working it like a meat grinder, in this superimposition

of silence.

his teacher then excuses herself from a potpourri of

free ranging doodoo.

in a hail of reprimands--her pupil is banished back

to his test sheet.

where the excess of cleaning agents applied by the

school's custodian, probe his sense of smell made

vulnerable.

enter the metallic smell of blood.

as he undergoes a fountainous nosebleed--grabbing

the blank test sheet, to thwart the gush.

you find a completely empty picnic area--
showing up dressed as a widow.
black kerchief wrapped around your head--
tied at the chin, a predominance of cheeks
with a buggy-bulge of purple horn rim glasses.
barefoot with a black dress on, obscuring
splatters of sweat: back/*******/paunch.
holding an ice sculpture of a fruit basket on a
ninety degree day.
you spread a white sheet & set it down, as
large ants congregate on this succulently
carved chunk of ice.
you then get naked, save for the black kerchief--
as if undergoing a strip search in prison.
sitting Indian style--chanting the sutras of an
emotional *******, while periodically licking
the melting fruit basket to sate your thirst.
until one of the large ants bites your tongue.

spooked horses will run on two legs--

shinier than unction.

growing pale with the first idea of a

horse, which was the beast of their

apocalyptic burden.

a scream will re-enter their wide

necks, as if it never left.

they listen for it in every sound they

make, an open-ended edginess that builds

in them.

as everything is interconnected, the

apocalypse is akin to a traveling circuis.

which is to say that a place called earth,

is infinitely implicated--but by no means

exclusive to an apocalypse.

as is any other planet.

Truth remembers Truth, reveals itself to

itself.

Untruth forgets Untruth, reveals

itself to itself--as total destruction.

the idea of a horse is the same as the idea

of earth, ideas as pre-creation.
