"All the dreams I didn’t record

strung out on a hill of iris when u lost belief

existential dread

third person puzzle action

thinking of Joanne Kyger’s row

of ornamental hedges in Bolinas

protecting private poetry

Sensitivity vibrates

the selkies fur

the deviant rose

little lamb

bleeding hearts

cocooned in someone’s hand

O drowning sweet

Mercy choral song

Eucalyptus musk Sulfur cosmos Accord of moss

Ignite flash of past life realization

in a corporate situation

Conceal and peak inertia

Beneath the flesh the diamond weeping (Mallarme)

Sous la chair, le diamant pleure (Mallarme)

Spiked purple Low dp1 apocryphal signs

Cut stem and timid voice

before the bed bath and beyond

stone wishing well

A photo of me appears online

Wondering why the universe

would play such a cosmic joke on me

Hidden ways of being

Walk and talk it Yr Syballine visions

{climax of adoration} Move under the glowing sun

of my prayers (Joyce Mansour)

il s'agite sous le soleil

arden de mes prieres (Joyce Mansour)

make life worth living breasts bare

Flowers growing on the holy grave for centuries

Moment of exaltation

and then emptiness again

Ethereal layers of experience cloud around

the memory palace

Blown out or blown in

Hurled myself awake

then drank back

the poet kissing madness

I swallowed

I cracked and cuddled

I loved you in a different way

I talked to you of Madonna

holding on to one of Durgas many arms

A light show on the reliquary bust

of a female saint

that burned image

of silken rod blessing a woman’s brow

skull of a saint the constellation around her

Photographic evidence stained glass

reflected on your face

Perennial Fruits, art of fire"
