Dear daughter,
ZOO Jul 2024
And these are the hell texts I never send to
a child I never had a hard chance with
a distance relationship with a little girl


Dear daughter,

How's your day going?
Can we chat?

I'm sorry but I'm not having a great day.

Maybe a visit with my daughter
who I Love
to cry about
in my dreams
will help me get away from
my current troubles with sleeping?

Yes, I have recurring nightmares of having had lost you
in some weird strange city
and I'm driving or running around not ever finding you.

I'm Going up to strangers asking if you have been seen.

I've lost her...

I can't find her ...

It's just terribly sad stuff you wouldn't want to dream and wake up crying about

Or want to forget it
happened when you wake up...


Somehow, I feel it's really real or
has already been happening.

Sorry so 😔

Next to a Panhandler
Who sells you with, " all of this...
will be yours one day"

only The Three feet of air above you
Counsels you on your peice of cake

Trade A cot and A hot, or exchange work
       that will fry your eyes on a sidewalk,

and fake it better
Than your spare change of heart,

        yearns better than for you
        Not slipping up, bubble clairvoyant

The staked cairn
       My chin propped up on
       to cry to sleep in the cracks opening

How fun it'll be one day,
rolls up in dark
canvas sleep & dream where I'm winning.

Whose ***** is she,
someone stands on the corner,
influencing the planets with her sign
did **** take a hit?

pain. take care
sweet heart
deliver to me inside me hurts

The names of plants are plenty -
incant and hope in chemicals
the ground to rise or give up.

Messages are soon delivered on trains
We are the World
her horrible tragedy is over,
And what minerals selling
points to the plot,
In comedy.


The scene photograph
peirces me in these pictures
wheels white and soundless
A good show in goldleaf
, and know little else-
for i am alone in her theater
without her,
Just me and my pipe,
now, simply existing;
a heaven on earths i do not care for.

Time in Doses too little
Love my libel on his word,
just asked in my bible.

I'll be someone's lesser,
now, firmly believe in pain
wandering begger
and blindly pulling off
all that I've gathered inside
A hypodermic needle.

So long ago and far away
to the frosty night
I traveled on that pipe
so far to or from
When it will begin

carry a tune,
caligraphy,
darned socks
we're all aboard and
A Northern wind
Spirit gifts us.

Horrors
were just time spent quilting
A train pulses
its pillow smoke
as she hushs the neighbors to sleep
along the tracks
Erased the last few yards.

her beautifully closed eyelids
meets next to each stop
Steam rises up to my nostrils
as pulsing dreams
I was
Loved once in traveling
in those pillows that gather up on the down thrusts.

We are the world as theives
to old pipers music,
notes inside the body
of these discordant tunes.

Whose words are these I think I know.  
His house is high on the mountain peak;  
But who also sees me stopping here
To watch the woods filling me.  

If the sky is asked is empty there    
It answers without a chapel near;  
In the trees walk quietly between    
In my ear the wind does seek.  

In the forgotten speech it calls  
In the winding snow to follow,    
Blurred path trees have swept,  
Buried felled limbs have knelt.  

Dark woods have a lovely air  
But have many promises to keep,  
And I listen to their despair,  
And I listen to their despair.

Lick my fingers ***** the wick,
Table candle, soft and slow.

That flame lit up the cigarette
And crackled like a secret I stole.

Cough at first, a hole to fill
a hollow crave its bitter bit

From cigarettes that are not still,
Shadows lead where they could--

A needle’s kiss, bite a broken pill
promised thing I misunderstood.

I told myself I’d stop when I was grown,
but somehow, every path led me astray. Ash ashes ashtray
Each lie I spun became a stepping stone;
each lover’s touch just swept the guilt away.

They called me names: a "*****," a "wild child," "bad."
The doctor’s eyes would narrow when I spoke.
My father’s face turned hard, his heart so sad,
but still, I laughed and vanished in the smoke.

The candle’s flame still flickers in my mind,
its warmth now gone, its light a ghostly hue.
It burns to ashes, leaves me cold and blind—
I wish I’d snuffed it out when I was new.

just to be revived for a 3rd time
happily May this forth me to live.

idk i am everywhere
ZOO Feb 2024
What a waterfall is like to a river
Is What a black hole is to space,
everywhere is around us.

trying to find their meaning for existence
humans can escape their earth body's mathematical precision,
Search the sky by a seance.

Using a ouija board to ask, who is out there?
spirit offered me the use of it, as my body, like a pencil lead is falling away
onto the paper space in writing.

I am automatic following movements curving inwardly to know, what is in
here?
The known alphabet disappears
Mysterious math takes over
to try to explain read or reason.

between these layered skin equations, the lines
I observe time moving - faster-
As I look backward
events appear to be moving away from me, and the farther time is away from me to record it - slower -

moving outward toward a point
called the event horizon, the events answer
back with a single signal or sigil.
everywhere is around us.

And be in perfect pitch

Practice with kids for the best good soil  to make posts,

    Is just a string of loops or phrases;

To be able to throw those out,
as any lump of clay
just to challenge any new hapless game
with ***** in hand waiting to be lifted;

Do as the form allows one to believe,
and make just enough to keep on simply
What I do is the way I see it.
to measure the depth and shape of the bottom of the supposedly "bottomless"  form of word

Needing: in the small breath I’m holding,

that from other people’s conversations,

cutoff in my element listen alone,

withered thinner easily grovel or stoop,

to the conventions of others years
who involved my art with money.



Here: a smile is waiting reposed,

it's poor rendering despised,

what bosses her heart,

squeezing paint out in a new way,

the tender old accumulating inside
beauty behind rehab.




Appreciation: what colors work engauge,

my manners strengths to help when,

youths arrow light or dark I can't recall,

your newborn art rage was abandoned.



Portrait: sitting down suddenly slumped,

a coffee shop to hang these up in,

there is that someone or that so-in-so,

worse than mine should I need to compare,

why there are artists asking her to pose.



To age someone: many blinks it takes,

to the light, to the air, in confidence,

I am so aware what it is to make,

things wanting to be sold to this *****,

crooked smile or non-brushed-hair
a window to the world she was remade.

shoot me up for you to stare back at
to go with you knowing you
Were such a snap left me without
  just to cope being blacked out
The old Slips in and the new is out

On the sunny side of life adulting
I hit hard at my younger self groaning
peeled up from ambitious skin
shrunk back from getting touched when
To be part of this terminal knowing

a foggy skin showers me with doubt
were the years where i told it nothing
when I whistled to just go on without
You was yet to be painfully spelled out
with the escapes yet to be escaped from

mix in the swirls of the starry heavens
strip teasers strapped to me invented
targets my knees by soothe whispers
fills me up with such Sesame says to
slip into a glass sparkling with webs
