MASTER OF THE 13^TH CARD

I will find my way home by the light of the Moon

Love me until the end of time. My thoughts are fragile.

Hold them with your soul, don’t ever let them go.

Store the cemetery names in a jar, scratch the left side of my car.

Walk around; footsteps graze the backs of ants.

The cracks between sidewalks and earthworms

The Citrine Sun will Heal my Dreams and take my memories

Smaller than.

Her hair dances like the branches of my willow tree
Soft and delicate like winter’s snow, I hear her breathe
To me nothing seems more beautiful than a smile on a woman’s soul

happy birthday you fuck.

me all day & night

BIG GUY

Trash can dreams and loud cars that scream by

Or the loud noise, like the breaking of some glass

Cigarette smoke, an old man chokes

I would love to love you, but here the vines are

Shaking, they are over taking, and the stars are out

The absence of light and life are the things that

Have been unseen and left for us to do

Broken Finger.

The taste of July

Under the cherry red sky

Where ladies want to die

Where the men want to cry

The place people can dine

And drink a lot of red wine

 Soft drumming

Long ago I was alone, voices whispered, and thoughts wondered

Fading into the new moon, dreams held the stars in place

Don’t forget our Saturday nights and the river water

Time doesn’t mean a goddamn thing anymore

Before this I was a housefly.

MOOD.

937

Singing with the butterflies and dancing with the bees

Grateful for this life, I lick a knife and I swim to the moon

Delicate as feather and strong as a horse, I was just reborn

One Green Eye.
I wish I had a green eye
I wonder what the world looks like through one green eye
Is the sky a different color? Do you see the grass? Or does
It blend in? Maybe I can borrow a green eye. I can ask
Taylor or Ryan. Green is my favorite color and their eyes
Make my heart melt into a river. The glisten. Find me today
In the clouds with one green eye.

long fingernails 

Itching my brain with my thumb nail

Eating my cereal with a fork, waiting

On my brother he’s supposed to be here

Before dark. I’m knee deep in yesterday’s

Problems, with a bee on my shoulder and

A beer in my hand.

And I know the end is near. 

Close to me, your heart beats. To be in love,

to fully give yourself to the one who holds your

Secrets and to the one who has seen your soul naked.

Hold my love close before the wind comes by and sweeps

Us away. Hold my hand until the earth beneath us touches

And the skies turn a beautiful kind of grey. Birds sing

And birds hum, they hold the sound for us.

A black flower dress

Bring me to the goat farm before I die

Wipe my tears with sunflowers before I die

Eat my brains with berries before I die

File my nails with a hammer before I die

Bring me to the cemetery before I die

Paint my bones yellow before I die

Place me in a bird’s nest before I die

Feed me a cucumber before I die

Hold my soul like a beer before I die

Let me pet a crow before I die

Make the sea turtles sing to me before I die

Drape dead roses over my eyes before I die

Bring me to a jazz show before I die

Stick a diamond in my eye

Before

I

Die

 FRIDAY FRIES

My skin is crawling, like worms are scratching to get out

The light of the yellow moon glistens in my window

Today we shall rejoice with love and hold each other

Before the mail goes out clean the windows with

The cat before it’s dark. Bring me home before the

Night turns young and the beer starts to smell like

Winter. The fly of the night shall take my secrets from

My life and carry them out to sea. For all the humans to

See. Wash your hands, tie a rubber band and bite

My apple. At least I know I won’t get out alive.  

watches

They are hiding our secrets in the skies

No one here can take me out of this place

No one here has a disguise

I am not scared and I am not mad

I will stand my ground here

I will stand my ground

Torr with a glass eye.

If I had a glass eye I could 

watch the ravens glide across the midnight sky.

If I had a glass eye I could 

read all the true crime books published on the countryside.

If I had a glass eye I could 

watch the stars burn deeper than veins, in the black sea of sky.

Centuries without peonies.

The way you move,

The breeze between your teeth and cheeks

Your tongue, where words dance and fly

Shuffle your shoes, get in the groove.

Just let it all hang loose. There is love in

This room. For you, I will hold the moon’s

Light and love you at night. I will dance across

The sea, until my feet turn sore. For you, I

Will leave my hair long, so you can love be

Before dawn. The way you move, is why

I love you.

New Moon.

Step into nature.

Slow down.

Slow your brain down.

Slow as a caterpillar crawl.

Slow your mind down.

Slow down.

Shake your worries to

The breeze.  Breathe in

Rhythm with the ocean’s

Waves.

Slow 

Down.

Poem.

Little thoughts that make me hungry

When time seems to empty, the sea gets angry

Ashore, my mind sits with the turtle eggs and sand

Deep down, beneath the tide, a world to explore

A place to be, with the seahorses and shells

Dance under the moonlight where the sea meets

The horizon and the bees come out to play

There is a special warm breeze and a feeling

Of happiness. Before the sea eats the land, before

The people suffocate the Earth and the clouds

Eat the stars. Dive into the sea and fine love.

a banana peel.

This dude I know smells like worms,

And has a loose front tooth.

He rides the bus to work every day.

His favorite snack is ice cream and he

Has a great first name.

Leonard.

believe in love 

The bonfire that burns, I fell in love with the fire long ago
Long before you and I, long before the river danced and the trees sang.
Stand still, your roots make a home in the Earth while the birds play
With your hair. I’d love to love you while the stars burn and the
Music plays. Promise to love me even on days when I break.
