midnight poetry corner 2


Hey fellows and fellowettes, I have brought you another offering of a late night feast of words. I am right now listening to the 2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack and am tripping into the realms of a higher dimension. Would you like to visit? Well read this here poem my fellow headtrippers, and fear not the shadow of your own demise. We are bright drinking cosmic bunglers.


untitled 4646

I have yet begun

to collapse

into

a field of empty butterfly

cocoons

and tell

and

tell

the great women of the past

who have

died in their lipstick

and their

great

barrels of age

that I am for them

entirely

and without

the magnificence of an inverted star

vomiting itself across

the cosmos



and just cause you guys are the tops:


untitled 4645

to be a human

being

is to make love

across

an ocean

and dieing in

empty carports

while

airplanes

jet in the

sky

above

you danced

about

the way of rice paper upon

your tongue

and

a kiss

and

an inverted sword balanced upon your palm
