Third Eye Candy
you are walking in a stream of absolute strangers
woolgathering in cerebral catacombs with faraway eyes
as your shadow strides behind you
as you face the sun with a blank face…
Time dawdles instantaneously.
every moment compressed into a -
slow expanse of happenings
all around you at the center of nothing
as you stroll
cutting through the park
of your epiphanies.

Third Eye Candy
strolling the block where the after-hours smother towers with black snow
and Halogen lights with black velvet haloes.
I go where the moths grovel in mobs
towing a lifeboat out to Sea with a straight face
staring at a Northstar made of bottle caps
and headlights… humming to themselves -
because it’s midnight now
and nothing can stop
them.

My Lute

Third Eye Candy
My lute has found a voice
made of porcelain
and the risible rattle
of dry leaves.
I have only one note.
But my lunacy resounds.
With only two hands
I grasp; dropping -
the Sun…

But I keep the Moon
for an Eclipse
when I want
one.

like an amateur Magician
at a Mirror,
over a
Sink.

i shave a Dove
in my sleeve -
for the
wings.

that I weave
for lucid
Sleep.

Tell me
What’s your endgame plan?
You snap your fingers
And I melt in your hand
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
I wish I
Could rescue us
Avengers Endgame was so good!

Your silence hurts me,
it reduces me to a frantic mess.
For so long you’ve embraced me,
I’ve become a madman, obsessed.
Right when I’ve bared all my vulnerabilities,
you cease your caress—

Your silence hurts me,
have I become someone you detest?
