Finally alone, I lie with a volum… I venture again to hear the injunc… normally I savor their sensitivity… but tonight all I can think about
I once found in what appeared to be cistern carved within a boulder, an owl’s wing,
If presented with the choice would the dinosaurs have allowed the asteroid or meteor to hit?
I know people see him and think, “Gee, that’s crazy.” Which makes it embarrassing to see him
There is a stream of what could have been which flows on with the same rate and newness of what is.
Nine times out of ten, it’s a demon you’re seeing, not an angel. They have all kinds of disguises, I know-I know,
When I see the little holes where the earrings used to be I wonder what they embraced and then renounced to get to now.
Like a Somali pirate just pull up on the Grim Reaper, surprise him

A Sacred Site, to my mind, is the last place you’ll ever stan… Such a place reveals hypocrisy without shaming,
Incense thick with a scent that is true and a bit soiled and dense so dense I lift
Needless of a judge, a contrite heart is a bird suspended on a current, shifting myriad planes without asking or telling.
Praise those who sit and wait for nothing. Who sit still and know they are owed nothing. On the mat each inhalation
Whether you’re preaching to the ch… or your words fall on deaf ears, just know you won’t swing a single vote.
She lives no where, has no coordinates, she took me to the gallows, tempted me in the garden and my voice boomed.
