Tale of a Bucktoothed Vampire

 

Where

isn’t humiliation

biting back

once bitten

where

a humiliation

never humble

a fang

making fun of vampires

who are bucktoothed

and getting bitten

solves nothing

for a bucktoothed

vampire

humiliated

as you bleed

suddenly

there is no fun

in humiliation

and getting bitten

no more blood to let

humility

in pooled

reflections

a vampire can’t see

reflections

twisted fangs

with no comic relief

for a bucktoothed

vampire

humiliation

and the tale

Lacquer

 

LACQUER

walking on water

lighter than air

witness the colour

of you own sound

standing over clouds

your breath

painting

your own music

running with breezes

filling in the lines

shading

your rhythm

flying as music

charcoal strokes puff

swirling lacquer

living music dancing

Silence Speaks

Silence Speaks

the blue and the cotton

a calculation

the fleeting moments

amongst an eternity

and silence speaks

hear

and here

spoken by sight

rustles day

and into the night

along the moments

as whispers

that finding touch

as a silence

amongst the open hands

here

and hear

a calculation

rustles in night

amongst an eternity

of fleeting moments

silence speaks

To Bend

 

 discovery

is always

the pleasant

  

when most appreciated

in the pain

of knowledge

in pleasure

unknown

pain  

in

a truth

about pleasure

the phobia of veritas

the discovery

of pain

like a madman

mashes words

in the Dada

of nuts

that is peanut butter

GATHERING

GATHERING

 

the phobia of veritas

the truth in a lie

as it lies

across our fears

the stretch is not a distance

so far from the steps

along

the alone

of phobia fear

of what in desire

gathers
