my hand
it moves
along your
deep white spine
i find
a way
to use you

the song
of wills
could calm
your every thought
i wrought
a will
to use you

there's truth
in lies
so why
don't you lie
in bed
in mine
and use me

...

i am in love with how you say, "i"
and here is how you say it
you say it with everything i love
everything i love that i cannot describe
i cannot use words to say
but i know you say it as if everything
both did and didn't matter,
mattering both
nothing and everything, and
i know that you have realized
your own meaning
and your own meaninglessness
somehow, somehow
when you speak about yourself
it is with the greatest love and the greatest lack of love
and so i know i can say
you know what it is like, you know
you know what it is like.

...

so her bedroom moves forever
always lightning into black
it never pauses for a virgin
lacking muscles for emergence
they say you like to see her,
like to see her.

wires eating in her palms
making ashes for a fire
never pausing for the light
feasting all upon the breasts
all the rest would like to see her
like to see her.

oh the chances you would have
if you only could destroy
little items in your heart
taking part in someone's orgy
somewhere far away from here
where you cannot ever see her
like to see her,
like to see her.

...

the wandering forces

adrift in metal

passing through

the unseen lines

connecting the dirt

through the clouds

to the points of light

nothing changes inside

the weapons clang

against the wind

the silence continues on

the men continue on

through the dark

open to the watch 

of the gods, they

look down upon

the small figures

with their weapons

defending themselves

in the night

against, the night

the stillness and the air

the moving histories

and memories

passing through

their bodies

as they continue

on their plane

in a straight line

but remaining 

at the same point

the same place

where they began

where they put

their weapons

on their bodies

for their journeys.

Eat the apple core correctly

Reaching towards the sun

With your fingers and palm

They will become frozen

Before they melt away

Eat the apple core correctly

Your grandfather clock

Seems to need work

Its cock is no longer 

Erect, as it used to be

Eat the apple core correctly

Some teachers like you

They use chalk

They smile and write things

On paper, bleeding red

Eat the apple core correctly

I like nectarines better

Peaches are too fuzzy

Grapes and bananas remind me

Apples reflect too much light

...

I will eat your brain to gain your knowledge

Yure brein

Yure brein

Yure brein

I will eat your brain to gain your knowledge

...

The flesh-eating flash fleeting, ever trouble

The double-"u" doubles you, your meaning

The gravest raving gang an aim more sane than true

So blue so truly mauve so strange so main I gave

The wavering symphony to you, to you

A cycle so impervious to circles

The ringing ends so smothering

The hearing might be gone

The words are dragging on and on

...

savoring

savoring

savoring

savoring

the savior

...

sadly, gadfly

return again

the carpet seems bare

there is wood underneath

my friend once found an automatic windmill on his way across the city.  he neglected to tell me about it or be seen again.  i assumed many things and none of them are correct.  somewhere a dog barked.
