Not So Evil

dark summer. absolutely glowing.
harvester. going somewhere.
just like you wanted, we’ll drive to the water.
how you survived the fire
but couldn’t stand the thunder.
wet season. overwhelmed by longing.
not so evil, only party.
you called me thoughtless while my wish was forgotten promptly.
how you can spend a decade
speaking in separate languages.

felt so madly. made a nest in the valley.
echoes: sun and moon.
had a nightmare about you.
fancy poison. ought to do something,
the noise it’s making.
maybe wakes a demon.
friendly fever,
extreme fatigue when meeting anyone.
slipped in quietly,
crept up the steps where you’re buried.
things look different now
since you’ve been living underground.
secret staircase.
attend a banquet in such faded clothes.
poor, unfortunate soul.
set a fire. if there’s any way you can survive..
in this haunted place….
whatever you’re after, I’ll find it.
careful science; haven’t lost your mind in awhile--
keeping plants alive, sleeping mostly through the night.
kind of silence, in light of your eyes sore with false providence
(meaning nothing, really).
Catch a virus.
is there any way we can survive with these swollen glands?
or in these cursed lands?

As Ellen meets the devil:
“Can I leave some stuff here for you to look after?”
She don’t believe in evil.
“It’s just weakness,” she says, “it’s just people.”
Must undress the dragon
before I can deal with all of this madness..
can’t conceive what’s happened.
Chasing after the past--it's so reckless!
Open door swings--sleep with a television on.
Middle of the night things. Petals falling off.
Composed a song of seasons,
evening of my teething heart set to brood.
West with the winds we’re leaving.
When you controlled the weather, what did you do?
Inside, it’s always raining.
I can’t explain the pain the storms have wrought.
A house made all of windows..
open the shutters so I may drink the sun.
Lavender. You comb your hair. Traveler. Thunder everywhere.
Lavender Town, to catch a feature. Space traveler who loved the creature.

Pretty pages. Madeleine, meet Tabris.
You find me laying in the grass.
The gilded age ends.
Always deathly afraid of mating.
You hate it that your chrysalis won’t hatch.
Off to Lyon, to meet a Parisian scion….
flowers dying all along the path.
Novice dancing. A pair of earthly branches.
You find me laying in the grass.
We see smoke off out in the distance, planting man-eating trees.
Pulling around with your voice little sisters
over the river, across Fire Creek,
to the land of two suns.
Star-cross’d lovers: Gemini and others.
Have your druthers--drink until you’re dead.
June-October. Grown so afraid of your power.
Slower now as darkness fast descends.
(Smoke in the distance.)

look for me in the undergrowth.
memoreveriesynthesizer.
never talk about it, living underground.
what have you always wanted?
to wander around?
the hook cut deep, never letting go.
tonight meant everything, I'd never danced before.
but I know all about it, how you’re leaving town.
take to the hills and palace..waiting the sickness out.
tipping down for days,
drowning all the plants.
tennis in the park, coffee in the garden.
books we read to help us sleep away from home.
there was a creek here. we went in too deep, way beyond control.
climb another mountain, existing upside down.
wait around for darkness -- until then, freaking out.
[Here in the make out days we mark the death of plans.
Uncover a brave new world, young pioneer.
Lost in a daze, how your time is spent.
Tennis in the park, coffee in the garden.]

A Song of Sun and Moon

streetlights along the lake signal the farthest shore--
you’d lose your mind there. it doesn’t rain forever.
rather, you’re lost in space, a dream you’ve had before….
the night is wild, gracile, charged with your fever.
riding across the plains, but what you’re looking for?
&how will you find it if you don’t know?
with elemental grace you let your wings unfold--
and now you’re flying. see you in the morning.
arrived in such a state, you brought the foggy weather.
it’s self defense from fire, reading the future.
alone in outer space, a never ending story.
there’s something to being alone way out in the mountains.

it was raining. hearing voices.
into the forest without a flashlight.
cryptic cicada made summer noises
under the lambent, mysterious sky.
spectres faded. headlights passing.
swimming in and out of each other’s lives.
changing in phases, chasing our passions,
turning our faces to follow the light
like a happy little seed
left to overwintering;
you’ll feel love, like a part of....
trees are swaying, storm is grooving--
green rolling earth on some curious vibes.
your hair is longer. our bodies fought to get out.
limbs growing darker, held still at our sides.
sow those happy, healthy seeds
humming ‘All things come to me,’
and as they grow, you’ll know a lifetime!

Dark Circles

hanging out, Garden Street.
climbing trees won’t move me
from our aquarium
aquarius kiss.
pinker mouth, sharper teeth,
you were born just to swim and eat
like I fall asleep as deep as oceans.
turn the page, drink your tea.
Year of the Dog: burning leaves,
late spring ...
it was raining every weekend, felt like.
coffee nap, then the feast.
tournament of every dream you had.
felt so bad you couldn’t heal the world, but
how much love in a drop of blood?
surrender.
what it means. in waves.
recover.
parts of it. the seeds.
....and somewhere,
the Summer Sea awaits.
moody time. curious vibes.
I saw you, standing in moonlight
drawing dark circles on the garden wall,
Gatsby in your lap,
late for the ball.
It’s one of those nights, diving in and outside.

another bloody nose in your room.
sudden gardens rise up to hide your room.
taking off a mask/summer dress transmission.
in the jaws of a cat, the mood came back with mad lunar feeling.
O so de trop, the clothes in your room.
army of vines would climb the sides of your room.
rushing off the map..sullen dragon behavior.
rain floods out the path; if I’m not back before you
will you be waiting?

quiet bedroom dream before the coronation
wyatt's chamber pop
gazing through the antechamber
starlit palace grounds
lily of the valley
poisoned evening gown
birds all in a frenzy
