I had a bright idea (flames)
once in my head
it came down like a raindrop
refreshing and cold.
I poured my heart into the idea
I covered it with hope.
I showered it with incense.
Forcing the thing to smile.
I spread over the heroine (flames)
like it was my child
showing it the twinkle of my eyes
And how it was slowly dying.

He is the Man
The city on your right is only in your imagination.
It's been there for four hours now
implanted in his brain.
The scentless Civilian wanderer.
Some say he's been doing some cocaine.
Some men don't let you look into their eyes
for they may steal your innocence.
You always pay for doing things your own way.
Forget the final curtain if your nearing the border.
We all know it's near the end
We all stop pretending
Happy to remember love and light
Days that wouldn't sleep
and the soft velvet night that would.
All along the Mexican landscape the
animals whisper
"He is the Man."

the sun comes up
The sun comes up massive yellow
orange bright
suns the darkness shadow
that stands before Your White.
Black stripes come superior
when made from lines.
Into the sky out of the ground
into the love into the skirt
out of the sky into the dirt.
She says it makes her laugh
The way they know so much in so very little.

Lean Times
So now what do we do
But ease into the middle
And pull out frayed twine
For loose ends to tie
In these lean times
What do we do
Now
The center seems supine
No more lines to glide
The bullets start to lie
In these lean times
No end seems
In sight

more water
he gurgled
coughing up half that he had swallowed
more water
requested
in a vast dry lakebed now caked with salt
R.A.W.
Sunset, Chicago, 1879
Gossamyr squeals
All that was left
At the end of the line
Porcelain wheels
Grounding current
still
When the voice was young
Current found a way
Through a maze of silicon
Through that daze that synapse won
Forged new paths
Through mud
Changed us all
Before a register
Could blink
Could nod
'neath curling sod
What had we become?

This Curse
This is the curse you see
its right in front of me
this hell
reveales itself
on the planet of our birth
thrown down
born sentenced
by creations hand
temporarily to suffer
the good and the bad
to taste each side
and not decide
but explore the mind
expand ourselves
until we reach the summit
from where we began.

Die with a smile
This is it
it's the end
the final chapter
sent to mend
the bridge between
life and death
and in between
we condemn
this mind
to sleep
to petrify
forget the life
we've left behind.
This is it.
Its the end
a gap closed tight
no one
left to fight
I'm falling ahead
into the light
and burning faster
mile by mile
returning faster
with a smile
through streached skin
and watering eyes
I'm closing in
I going again
laughing as I die.
