EMPTINESS AND THE DEPENDENT ARISING OF FORM

Pitch bliss
The radio playing sport
I am determined to get better
(REARRANGE)

Interval rhyme
Where a flame high
Communing with sheer song
Further
Saving green

Praying to
The Wish Machine
Holy appliance
(STOP STOP TALKING)
Misericordia
Caught slipstream

The long shadows
Clouds forming
I pester the sound
By listen
Moon born

Bury or pyre the dead
Found or departed
(WAKE WAKE MOTHER WAKE)
The State
Temporary

The civil, the pleasure
All of it
Drift
Holy flower
Fading

A blue figure
Hand extended
Speaking wordless
Bless me
As I practice (ELIMINATION)

STAY PUT (IN A FOREIGN LAND)

The dining room I’m in is very confusing
It’s a collection of coffee and spilled luck
That is, moon
The mystery of spoken words
The electrical outlets plus the holy appliances
I am standing on nothing at all
Variation of sweet bird
Con me mister, I’ll go south this winter
Until then, I promise to be a vessel
I will grow silent
In silence, we will reside
A churchy void with a cool draft
Place full of idols
Desperate symbols, redolent
Red wine carafes
Secret service representatives
The last Bulgarian Prince
His last Bulgarian ferret
Finalizers, people who live in a depot
“we might be homeless
but guys have a genius
we can’t do the regular world
we don’t want it”
That’s what Richard said
Then read a poem so good
It made me cry
I cry a lot
It’s a blessing
Gifts from orixas
Water, wave, and prayer
There’s also electricity
Colors, a resolution
Plaster over holes where mice came
Consider a large papier mache alligator
With an empty stomach
Worship
Then forget.
