I will stay with the patterns inside my eyelids
What is whimsy when you have walked up the junction
Trash collectors’ dues
This is the
We know what happens here
Leave, leave
They just want
I mean, possibly, they must just
Examine
What the pillage
All in a day’s
In a daze
Pardon me it’s just
Take this opportunity
Remind me again why
I never thought of it well
Encounter
Probably, son.
We just multiply
Reason, repeat
We don’t find
Strewn
Like feathers
Expanding
No but
This isn’t like
We and our histories
It’s not
They are alone
That’s how they do it
It’s in a book
Like what else
Surely not this isn’t
It’s a curse,
Just like the one in that book
I didn’t mean
It’s a line
I was fed it
Don’t worry me about
Real, really
I saw it on the
You know this one
Can we not do this tonight
We parade the stain
Just this, please, justice
Non-certainty
Predictable
If you’re so, then how come you
There it is again, throbbing
Look they said it again all at the same time
It’s inefficient
Mark it
It’s a brief time
Penned, penned
We wrote it down, we locked it up
Forget it
Like it was before
Just apologize
Right, zero
Fountain inside
Don’t try to quiz me
Desert, December
Don’t like this
Fine, just
Don’t forget to remember
Like it was
It’s all too
Marred
Like it was in the summer
Up to Uptown
Uptown jungle
It’s not like this
Listen, repeat
Forget it’s all the same
This time
We don’t have this moment
There’s a line
We can’t always do
Why don’t you just
Say
Like the way it was
Excuse it
We don’t want to just come out and shoot it
Like the books, this time
We don’t have to fire
Right, but listen
It’s not what I said
You can’t just command it
I will just stay here on this side and watch
That’s what they said
That’s what they said
That’s what they said
Now
Look at them now
It’s not frightful obedience
You don’t mean
Yes
I said it last time
Mighty pavilion
Rises
Through the smoke
Chamberlain
He tells a prayer
Like the last
Effort
Don’t remember
Remarkable.
You don’t have to
Sleep, just sleep
We’ll come again tomorrow
Fortress shattered
Milk the cattle
I get by get by
Forcing, fighting
Let’s draw
It was not that way
Excuse these times
Less than what they would
But now, this time
Much worse this time
It’s the same

Even the cosmopolis gridded itself
until its hues were
pixelated;
Liquid could not pass.
[around the corners of its systems]
And it, too, froze and shattered in the substucture
and like fine bacteria clustered around the underbelly
Scurrying from indistinguishability
ever mitosizing,
Extinguishing and organizing.
It blindly found its way.
Lest we diviply our multivided
manufacturisms,
and based on believings
(conceivings, actually)
self-deploy a fine feathered fiction
in boxes in boxes
in boxes in boxes
in boxes in boxes
in boxes in boxes
in boxes in boxes
in boxes in boxes
in boxes in boxes
in boxes in boxes

it's just that there's nothing to hide
everything is garish and as obvious as neon

She softly cried and wore cloudy garb
in a coach of summer lightning.
The message she brought made me pause,
written in gold on sun and breeze,
and traced by indolent insect wings.
Now she's gone. Her message fades.
A perfume trail from her Mistress's vial,
though, does not quickly fade away.
"Autumn is coming to find you."

"Ok, here is the plan. I am going to seed a poem, and you will each add 3 lines, rearranging the whole thing as you wish. You should all do it, all seven of you, and then it will be full grown, and we can title it, depending on what it's about. Post each expansion as a new post, and feel free to post other stuff in the meantime--this doesn't have to monopolize the blog. Here it goes..."
Wood is made of mud, and stars of sawdust.
Magnetized, steel-throated tunnel of a mind
traipses through the marsh,
to another place and time.
I follow my feet and still they lead,
from dusty hillocks and abraded desert
to screaming lakes of necessary vacuum.
From hunger to hunger.
The lead-beast

But seriously, awesome photo Dalia! I just had to do a tribute... uh, a humor tribute to a non-humorous artwork. Yeah, that's it, it's a tribute. : )

magnetize its steel throated tunnel of a mind
to screaming lakes of necessary vacuum
So I follow my feet and they still lead
my mind to another place and time.

I see every word you say.
I don't even know that music, but my voice is begging,
just reveal the secret to me.
"It is better to give than to receive"
There is a silver balloon gloating over me.
I wrap myself in cloudy blankets
day after day.
Saturday is a mousepad, rolled, in my throat.
Yes, my eyes have seen the glory:
God is coming slowly, I am going slowly.
May wonders never cease
For your touch I would fling wildly
my flesh to the vast forests of earth.
The creaks of my heart caulk the cracks in my mind,
down the wood of my soul weighs my body's beams.
For your touch I would hate my life.
My strength, oh my strength, my links to you,
My strength never came to
for I do not understand myself.
My scattered self stares from all sides,
springing forth from proprietary psychoses, and I am scared.
I am a monkey in the middle
day after day.

I can taste lightning-it tinges the edges of my tongue.
"Goodbye, good sir, I am going to bed"
just reveal the secret to me!
but holy huddles are comfortable
wrap yourself in cloudy blankets
"I need a woman"
my brain is leaking and cooling
scabby crust of rock, of oblivion
I don't even know that music, but my voice is begging
salient to broadcast my pride, pleading
I hear every word you say
I see every word you say
I taste every thought that squirts from your mind
touch is the language of the unconscious
"it is better to give than to recieve"
there is a silver balloon gloating over me
springing forth from proprietary psychoses
change your password, sir, or forfeit
your right to use me, my right to my left
day after day
day after day
saturday is a mousepad, rolled, in my throat
yes, my eyes have seen the glory
God is coming slowly, I am going slowly.
may wonders never cease
for your touch I would hate my life
for your touch I would fling wildly
my flesh to the vast forests of earth
the creaks of my heart caulk the cracks in my mind
down the wood of my soul weighs my body's beams
my strength never came to
my strength, oh my strength, my links to you
for I do not understand myself

" Hold me against the dark: I am afraid.
Circle me with your arms. I am made
So tiny and my atoms so unstable
That at any moment I may explode. I am unable
To contain myself in unity. My outlines shiver
With the shock of living. I endeavor
To hold the I as one only for the cloud
Of which I am a fragment, yet to which I'm vowed
To be responsible. Its light against my face
Reveals the witness of the stars, each in its place
Singing, each compassed by the rest,
The many joined to one, the mightiest to the least.
It is so great a thing to be an infinitesimal part
of this immeasurable orchestra the music bursts the heart,
And from this tiny plosion all the fragments join:
Joy orders the disunity until the song is one."
