Introverted Vodou
 
Stay secluded is always first.
Become an eremite,
a forgotten curse.
 
Let them wish they had never come,
if you have visitors,
tell them bring no one.
 
They cannot see the shrines you’ve hung
for Loa, displaying Papa Legbas tongue,
on walls of broken earthen vestigium.
 
Fire and stone
, mix with water and air,
inside the hounfour possessed.
Kay myste burns the sacrificial hair
 
Imperfect, impetus, loneliness consumes,
recites, détruit votre âme immortelle,
the wild becomes entangled in you.

Unsettling Dust
 
The open sun,
flares its fingers,
grasping my skin.
Stinging it red.
 
Dusted cowboy boots,
kick up clouds;
which settle,
after I’m gone.
 
There is no end
to this roam.
I will always be
dust but never
settling after
I’m gone.

Rode Home

Dust fog covers the windows
Smeared by wipers that
                                    pushed soot
                        to corners
            of the windshield
I smoke the last
loosely rolled cigarette until
it inches burning embers toward
                                    my nose
                        singeing hairs
            on my mustache
Flicking the leftovers through the crack
blowing the final breath of smoke behind it
                                    blinking
                        wiping my eyes
            with the back of my hand
blinded by the yellow lines.

  Radicals
In what world do we breath smoke?
                          Inhaling fire
lungs full of needles
                          the air is full of radicals
                                                     they say
                                              testing our exasperation
                                        our sighs
                                 so then why do they bustle fumes
                        into our chest?
               heaving polluted atoms upon our
vascular systems
            blood curdles for energy
                     For lights and machines
                           hazy red firmaments cower
                             over streets
                              with bustling motors
                               that feed on bones
                           in turn taking a piece of us
                     just to travel more quickly
                 to see longer
                  work faster
In what world do I feed on radicals for machines?

Early Morning Potato
 
trucks fired up in morning haze
Waking me up from my dreamy laze
What could be so important as to rev and rev
I woke up this mornings on the wrong side of the bed
So while I was working that day, I devised such a plan
As to take out this truck or even this loud ass van
I awoke even earlier potato in hand
 shoved it in the tail pipe, then ran

Virgin Haiku Sequence

Springs caught in the cold
Of fall, whispers of summers
Response in the winds call
 
A blue sparrow cast’s dim
Valleys of geometric
Shades in angels trees
 
Grass grows in radial
Eyes of paternal glow
Shining beneath us
 
They cut all the trees
But one, which grows in spite of
Its own loneliness

Revolving the Sphere
I spin with and against the axis of the world.
I become sound, the light, and the speed of time.
It is our inertia that spins on, hurled.
 
My breath is taken in supersonic swirls,
The atmosphere evaporates space mid-climb.
I spin with and against the axis of the world
 
Feeling the gravitational pull, I am purled
Through longitudes and latitudes of primes.
It is our inertia that spins on, hurled.
 
Past meridians and tropics of cancer, unfurled
Below like declarative lines
I spin with and against the axis of the world.
 
There are zones of temperance unknown, impearled
That can only be seen from above sublime lifetimes
It is our inertia that spins on, hurled.
 
From the adventured coast to the oceans netherworld
To heavens posterns, above the glittering sunshine
I spin with and against the axis of the world,
It is our inertia that spins on, hurled.

Cocina en Guatemala(Guacamole Queen)
 
Her knuckles squash and mash,
Green slime oozing in the cracks.
Guacamole Queen
 
The wrinkled creases of
Her fingers and hands.
Her knuckles squash and mash.
Green slime oozing in the cracks.
Guacamole Queen
 
Her knuckles squash and mash,
Her fingers and hands.
Green slime oozing in the cracks,
The wrinkled creases of
Guacamole Queen

Everything’s Wasted


I’ve wasted year, upon year, upon year…

Wasted upon years, the years I’ve wasted

I've tasted the wasted and pity of time

I knew that my time would not be wasted

 If I tasted the sweetest of life's wine,

Oh divine! A taste in haste, reminds me of brine

No more waste, No more waste

Years upon years, upon years

Of recognized hate and disgrace

Oh look at the state of all this waste!!!

Eastside of Swing City
 
Hey cool cat, cream canned
lined corduroy carnivore
kicking crumpled cans
down dirty corridors
 
My duds be dandy, daddy o
 
Hey man, my dude with pounds
of dank, dug out cramped digs
filled with hippie kids,
scratched heads bids
hazy crust covered lids
 
My duds be dandy, daddy o
 
Picked up Pixie, pawn shop princess
fishnet hair lip and hair pin up,
gown lighter blaze through cigarette burns
get up smelled like scorched plastic urns
 
My duds be dandy, daddy o
 
Here’s a groovy pad, a far out crib
and she’s hip to slit, a slip of the hip, or a sip
of pristine means to a different scene
as she steps between, my hall full of beads
 
My duds be dandy, daddy o
My duds be dandy daddy o
