Here's some more poetry of the bi-weekly, untitled variety.
untitled 2012
easy, honey.
don’t fall asleep with the horror movie on.
take
your time soul soul.
don’t
just climb out of wells with bare
hands.
it is good to wait for the rising tides,
to
dream of better worlds,
to hide the best of your
secrets.
chance the cold night with me.
go the distance.
in seven days,
one
week one
week
,
we’ll go down into the valley
and
cut the longest strands
of
our hair. leave it there.
nothing
so frivolous matters
.
and then, after many months of wandering,
we’ll
come back to the same bedroom. the
movie
will be over
and then, gently,
rest your head
.
(danger
wild and free
untitled 2118
when are we
going to see, sights and
sounds,
through blessed eyes of peace”
she asks, fighting
off
a recent flu.
the sky grows purple, full
of heavy mist,
full and terrible.
but she smiles.
Cindy the dream has
had a knack for
the mystic.
all her life, created only
to
uncreate the drab drowsiness
clipped to the average day.
it is in her little life,
the movements of her limbs,
across the fields of unseen dust,
the change, the casual change
,
that she says,
“all of sorrow is gladness.
all of life is good.
to be and to dance, to die and to
lose,
to feel pain
and
to grab whatever one may,
is holy.
it is not too late,
not now or not ever,
heaven or hell,
we all have chances to see clearly and to see the ocean.”
it makes sense to her,
in her
blood and in her flesh
.
sickly coughing,
Cindy can’t understand anyone else
.
untitled 2234
the goal is to be closer to happiness
every time
love is had
.
but you’re a shell. broken darkness.
big
empty parlor on the boulevard.
don’t get disheartened.
it is easy
to become hollow like dancing
with a slut.
it is easy to drown in a river.
it is so much harder to take a black
eye from a good
good
friend.
it so much harder to
make love
after a year long absence of anything but
devils in dresses
.

re: 2012
I like the line "don’t fall asleep with the horror movie on."
But where is the closing parenthesis?
Also, I wondered--are your poems double spaced, or is that supposed to just be a line break?
