poetry in the dark

all holy the glow
says to me it pulled me
through its colors orange, black
tinged the whitish off of you

plank

sits the edge of what wonderful
saying
anything mind would taste and kind
anything you wanted

half to me half to you
middle the part that has had me in golden tatters
fine the seamstress would sew

union to feel just the one
outer space its ransom captive
swirling pool of part forest, part night, part blonde, part big, part boyish, part deep, part effervescent, part parting, part dreaming, part feeling, part buoyant, part childhood, part fleeting, part chalking, part mortar, part book, part stance, part song, part can I to this to poetry? (part the night is long)

exactly half of this

but the other half would it take a dive there?
would I dream I died there?
would I go on

would

    a good way to write something
    darkness lives
    it surrounds our desks
    a few flames flicker
    we crave a decent creative thought
    the moons always howl at these hours
    the thing is...

    I think we have to enjoy our inspiration whenever it chooses to show up! :)

    the same old
    chiseling sideways
    and I just don't wanna be
    If it were up to me
    I'd be

    a bird
    a musical note
    a fucking lady
    traveling to yesterday
    staffed pole
    I'd conshohocken
    ricketts glen
    and you would understand me

    you stir in me what begins at my knees
    as it climbs and it swirls once around me
    as if nakedly or vulnerably
    it consumes while it fills and surrounds me
    as weak as me, 'course I take it and we
    jump the boat, move right in
    aww, just happy

    you pinpoint

    and I look through these eyes
    pull it in from outside
    like I'm dreaming

    it's seasick
    how sometimes thinking
    makes it real

    I listen and I'm lost
    my whole life
    a piece of time and confusion

    this don't make it go away

    the edge point of each page
    is not night
    but the whole other side

    There are things that are turning
    what with the wind song gone all
    the sudden realization
    that until my sister comes home
    they’ll be frogs on the line
    this is going to take some time
    the gong of really really cold air
    an unwilling cactus
    where I can put down my feet
    this should be it deservedly
    doors swing open toward me on the right
    I crawl up the disappearing legs of night
    the irony that meets up in blood
    falls into the mask's night
    the peaceful age of giving it all up
    and the ridiculous window for a wall that it makes

    conflict
    forever tearing
    forever ripping what isn't right
    what isn't supposed to be
    perhaps what your heart says
    could be that you're just hearing it wrong

    fantastic the voyage
    great stakes I had to
    frame if I could such sounds and textures
    don't want to sleep now
    don't want to waken
    not when we can sail flat through

    this
    I will always ring it back to you
    what is started, whatever it is you saw to be planted
    whatever it is all alone or Decembre

    the carnival sea curses fall, forest, fall
    deep freezes the lake is really a carcass

    seeds or mothballs
    lace or ghosts
    what you hold high is from where it I fall

    it's in there
    I

    encumber whatever it is 'cause I know you

    so when it's Christmas
    or when the moon sails all the way across the sky and we just sit too and watch it
    or when time drips stalled pools into our eyes
    or any glorious Sunday

    this is the time that you will most find frost fallen on the inside of opened doors
    or closets
    this is when kitchens wet or dry become orange and dancing
    this is when stillness becomes nighttime and nighttime barks like hinge

    low or high there is only one moon beam
    it's just the angles from which we see it that change

    plummet like a
    bomb
    dropped to way
    down
    like a basket of hell and
    heart you

    tell me the sound
    when your
    bird calls
    tell me the sound of a bird shit call.

    why do you look & act so familiar?
    tell me about your demons go
    1-2-3-4-5
    How'd my day go?
    1-2-5
    yours and yours oh and mine
    what one alligator
    two measly all the whiles
    tell me. listen.

    sounds familiar like when you
    spell like math and rain
    cotton that's come by a spider's strain
    milking silk just to tell you, baby
    it's not in vain

    the stars are all out tonight

    I have become so used to
    what is
    when presented with
    what was I imagined
    I can't believe what I
    used to think was beyond
    yet
    what could have been actually
    is

    ninety-five times each day I scower the floor
    sometimes I look out the window
    sometimes I go out the door

    sometimes the wings come and laugh
    at me, going and leaving me in tears

    sometimes I could barely touch the
    hot plate
    today it remains the very same way
    you avoid touching hot
    it wets your pores
    it burns like woven fingerprints

    just to touch it once sends a
    heat wave emblazoning
    all the moments scorched
    against my walls

    that spiraling hot I always
    hesitated to I still do

    it takes only one dip to
    refreshen the pool

    yesterday I couldn't even imagine yesterday
