On a trail long led away from what

it leads to.

Large wet leaves bent down to those

led.

On the back end of a rain, that already

considered itself over.

Left behind the basic goodness of a

cool breeze, effortlessly lifting the

forest.

As if edification let out levels of vibrancy.

Those led to observe peak vibrancy.

There again, large wet leaves realized

they were in place to greet--expended all

greeting.

No more abrasive than a pulse, that

gave you some much space you wanted

to give some back.

That's when large green leaves

became so responsive, that their

expressions made you see as what

moved you.

intentions are breaking their

backs while paving hellish paths.

the best of not saying at the height

of meaning, with no where to go.

even too final for the last push.

intersecting like crosses with

light speed visions of forsakenness.

wrought with the motions of what

is promised to pass--but does not.

left with the inability to sit with

breath, nor the poems it generates.
*Undocumentable testimonials of Nirvana, approaching The Bench.

trails adore

blood-roses...

amidst greenery blown

precisely at an unmovable

moment.

an entire forest too

green for red.

recanting thorns like

ingrown nails.

the sensory overload

that makes a dog's

tail curl...makes me

want to mime that

Old Man.

sometimes there's an existent

persuasion, that shadows individually

agree to blend in, As.

that is--they enter.

you know they've entered, having

conjured them, too well anon.

a merciful mark that appears &

disappears--hiding for your sake.

known by import, that which seeks

the gratification of seeing...but not

being seen.

A peach swallows three dimensionality

to the pit, to peach thus.

White heat sensuously cleaved, then

bound tight.

A searching rash that overspreads

yellow-orange/orange-yellow, too slow

for pounding juice.

The indomitable ruler of unseen flesh--

that loves the teeth it never conceived of.

Resting on a lace napkin driven to

accentuation--on a cream wood kitchen

table.

Before a ration
of time memorized
a life...knew it by heart,
blessed and released it.
To perfectly forget...
the precedence of peace
and silence, then given a name.

a top hat in an empty freezer.

thumb size magnets of vintage Xmas

lights, shifting around like a ouija board.

one dimensional warp sleights of color,

motioning.

placing blind eyes to motion without

color, lit irrespectively by contrast--

or current.

battering ram frost, whose heavy

breathing leaves the freezer door open.

the moon wishes

to weigh her head

upon my pillow.

i run my fingers

thru the creases...

her eyes overspreading

her face.

her hair smoking her

screen.

stroking her face to

part the crowd,

her wait lay open.

to reason with contact.
Onoma Sep 2020
how many among

the multitude can

say they are sacrificing

a connection closer

than themselves?

such a connection can

drop the body.

a vibration potent enough

to ripen fruit as it buds.

Nightfall at the bay...
humid air cut cool,
body contracting.
Sending suddenness
searching through
ruffled ripples.
The clouds like the
inside of a torn drum.
The size  of sound in
absence...my latest
version of dissolution
vibrates with approval.

drawn to the last

gulp of light, to sate

sight you sit in that

supreme darkness...

and wait.

on

word of The Word--

you feel it coming through.

steadily wearing away your

meditative mark.

you're living-dying all over

yourself.

you don't know where you are,

save for the summoning charge

of a final spring's lush push.

chills on end.

A knot tightened to where it cannot be

unknotted--will grow too slack to secure

a shoe.

Don't cut the shoelace, the shoe has

character now--what was an initial act

of laziness will yield more effort.

Use it to walkoff smooth exits, all the way

to subsequent entrances.

Except, turn around before entering--&

walk all the way back to unsmooth

entrances.  

It's imperative that you state: I was here.

Otherwise only dead grandmothers can

undo such knots.

My experience of
you is such, that
you command words
of wisdom to settle

an uptown scarecrow debuting

downtown birds, browses convexo-

concave storefront windows for

a costume.

stuffed with a sun's harvest of fully

lost hair.

more unfamiliar than any creeping or

flying thing.

venturing into daylight, where one

image winces into the form of all

images thereafter.

an odd vengeance running out of

paint, still wet--yet dry.

as a mouth's penchant for words,

once uttered, forcing the most

well-adjusted hypocrite to situate

Self.

just when it is shown to its very own

space...things unravel.
Onoma Nov 2019
even when one thing doesn't

follow another--

it's still about survival,

they get so desperate when

their mouths fill up with

seawater.

forgetting to gurgle and

cleanse their mouths.

a liar can't float or sink,

the weak will continue to

look one another in the eye

to spot what's dead.

fear is a shore easily reached--

like thinking you can touch

down anywhere in the ocean at

all times.

get a foot on something when the

the sky goes out, and the water

comes over.

no--there are always those for that,

don't worry...hahaha~

tried silence

animates the bird,

landing on the branches

call of paired eyes, as if a

panning each bar of a birdsong.

this thing we do...

you can't stymie

light by crying it

aloud.

if this realm abhorred

you, it would not have

admitted you.

what a blessing to be

abhorred by space, if one

behaves as a vacuum.

you are attainable,

you are attained.

pray the paralytic lock

and key is lost--emerge!

rare appearances aren't

There are edges lined

with fingers more soluble

than salt--they feel for

preservation.

The equal agency

of nature, shaped indelibly

to the touch.

You figure into surfaces

that only exist because of

their depths.

The ratios of chills register.

with holding comes

a natural parting...

come right back to

Tower and eidolon, three and a half

times removed--stand still of no man's

land, coiled up in The Alone.

Parashakti...consort, companion, partaker


of Shiva laid down upon her uninhabited


hermitage, and watched as she sleeps.

the way water surrounds the brinks of land--

eating at its sides.

Shiva...tower and eidolon, emptying aloneness

into aloneness.

upon the third distillation, emptiness tears in half.

a half removed from three times.

as Shiva sinks the centers of Oceans that circumambulate

his Ajna, overhanging a crescent moon as a beacon

risen Again.
Onoma Sep 2024
a tower viewer careened by a tourist,

trying to find their center.

the adverse effect brought on--somehow

being too scenic, a fake hyperrealism.

which becomes the irrational fear of concurrence.

not unlike: 'G*d you scared me, i didn't know you

were there!'...

as so the tower viewer stays positioned by

sudden disuse.

~Before there was a first for anything,

sound cleared its throat, to wet the Ocean.

Heavenly bodies had the *** of souls, that

came into themselves through the ******

of space.

Naked as what came along, as naked as what

came along...unlayered by mentation.

The purest and smoothest drafts, drafting

nakedness as the only symbol of arrival.

These gods and goddesses that kickstarted

the will of Will itself.

Are unendingly chanted first and foremost

of sound, enchanted to meet anything~
Onoma Nov 2024
oceans converge & breach a single

surface--roll toward me as a globular

bulge comes up to be fed.

the shiny sweat of a vicarious void

slurps as it snarls--chases its own face,

that refuses to wash off.

it is then i fall back on what i truly am--

with a look of acknowledgement.

there's such a buoyancy to what aligns

depth.

Who are these men and women
that move as the ends of earth--
raving stiff, sweet, bitter serums
of truth?
From their common manner a
prodigal bleeding has begun--
all the elements that eternally
knotted them now drain.
Their full significance squints
at its rise and shine, as meaning
is placed and trapdoors open.

the triptych of a bridge

inanimate and sidelong

stares of stopped time,

explosions of pindrops
