Kjempen Sound is rising slowly Like the foot Of a wayward giant Slowly lumbering Through the pass From the freeway Bull beasts on wheels Roll with the fall Down the hill To come back up again Sounding like warped Helicopter blades Distorted in wind Flying far overhead A jaw-wired hiss Into the return Of curveContinue reading “Kjempen”

Murderer
Murderer I murdered my successor Brutally Had his body, mind, and soul In my prying hands I threw him against A pot-holed street And as instructed By future forces Kicked And kicked Mustering up every ounce To look myself in the face And enact mercy In the name of destiny With blood of ours SprayingContinue reading “Murderer”
Fjord Passing
Fjord Passing I could call it a heaven Or a hell Maybe it was even Purgatory Where sailing On air Paddlers went by With oars in hand And they were rowing Disrupting Flowing Slowly Leaving wake Behind As a microcosmic Ripple To tell the tale Of where each Came from
Promises
Promises ‘Till death do us part But the death of what? What’s dead? What’s the thing On the butcher’s block, Or in the Pyre pit, Or drowned in the ocean, Waterlogged and bloated Sacrificed, Murdered and tied to A cinder block At the bottom of A river If it’s neither of us Taking it’s placeContinue reading “Promises”
Mummification
Mummification Who made the urn And was commissioned To spin the pots? Layers upon layers Of wafer thin wires Hiding in a body Made of clay In pottery Are eviscerated From the vessel The shell To be embalmed In thick oils That cascade Like rich chocolate Into the jars When the brain Is pulled outContinue reading “Mummification”
Ploughshares
Ploughshares Huddled in the Storm’s eye We had no choice But to drop our Marble-eyed Stuffed Teddy bears And pick up Our guerrilla Carbines Once more

Spa
Spa I hear it’s relaxing Getting naked And having a stranger Massage you And getting caked in mud Or green exfoliants While calm music Quietly plays But I wouldn’t know I’ve only heard of the people Who shed society for a moment And walk nude in hallways And it’s okay to them While they’re thereContinue reading “Spa”
Vexillology
Vexillology Missing a place I’ve never been, I look at my wrist To make sure My watch still says It’s 19:81 Sensing the tear In this moment We wear While spotlights Of all different colors Move high On slow motion And the crowd is alive, Breathing a wave Every time someone Jumps This time AndContinue reading “Vexillology”
Chase
Chase Thick bubbles in the throat Clog the voice, Distorting and stretching Music from our speakers, On the skybridges, Hitting The mountains distant In pale burgundy dawn, Sticking out like Thumb tacks From the world Corkboard To pin down and mark The places we’ve been And will go to Some day.
