notme supper with
a book
on the lion

crows sit watch
them
sleeping elves
waking

signs with splendid wings
wait
on it
steep
in it
will it
to
draw ink
red blood
from SIX lead roses


doors closed
open
scenes of me
and you and
everybody
act on ONE
take #THREE

"?and what is this,
this story sky
i see?"
says eye
"!blink!"
and
return
to daylight moon

elliptical running
funny wild
white
circus pony
orbits
a round
and around

the planted tree we sit
and sing our lives
artists and acrobats
shaking spears and drinking
marrow from the dusty sun

globe
in the ground

tinkers for foes
tapping into why
errors happily hop
to happen
along

way
away from far
too far
across the floor
corners break walls

and the picture folds
going
from
EIGHT
to
Be
Cause
wE
are

leaving
Fire tootheD winds and cedar tree anGels

white to black and black to white
as the SEVEN colourful buzzing bees
Fly from their hIVE
blind they bind
the sketches
with honey
dew and melon juice
dripping sweet
sea
the words
REaD
the BLUE
escaped
breath of a destined pawn

fashioned
to warm
the ice petals
INTO GROwn VIOLETs

to hOme
Rome the ANGEls
riding the clouds
for friday feast is ready
like a box wrapped to be opened
the taste
of
garlic GREEN
sent
on
linger trips

stares of stone
and YELLOW in hair
and their
shut tops
and locked
buttons burning
FOUR a hundred decades
in a place
where
NINE
plays
ELEVEN
teaching
TEN
how two paint ZERO

creatures
the poor
claim their peace
time for a piece
of the puzzle pi

tug of war
fighting pulls
between men and women
and women and men
for pleasure pains
an empty page
wounding the pallid
unkept brush

blood for a fee
and ink for freedom

ever dumbening i love the rhythm and articulation of this, m. it speaks to the musician in me, what with its mordents, appogiaturas, and redirected notes.

but then you already know i think you're cool.

.nom there were other things that went into my blathe as well though,...kinda all got mushed up together.
