A Request
"I do not wish to escape to myself, I wish to escape from myself."
- Allen Ginsberg (Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg: The Letters)
do not dwell on my life.
when death licks
the last reminiscence -
The Righteous Mans Lament
How human it is
to crave something Death can touch
With her bony hands,
And carve out this new
Lifeless space that leaves your heart
With cigarette burns
And a chronic ache. -
Truth
"America I’ve given you all and now I’m nothing."
- "America", Allen Ginsberg
When the calamity reaches its culmination,
and space-bound aluminum coffins are rife with bodies -
observing mothers and fathers (and their habits)
So this is what heaven truly is? The first unseen breath of Spring
a tender, encapsulated touch meant only for their offspring.
Changing Father Winter’s fur into Mother Spring’s clothes. -

To the city of angels.
Lit by Purgatory's divine lights.
Oh, he would have loved the sight.
To see chaos rolling in masses.
Down the boardwalk and past the ocean, -
(punished)

Over the desolate desert planes.
Under the earth, it tries to retreat
To the north, seeking change.
Heaven,
Barely in gasping reach
Of the soul's cold hands that stir in an
Loves

And So I Refrain
she talks to me about the paper snowflakes she plans to make this weekend, and so i refrain from telling her that my bedroom has been decorated since the day after thanksgiving.

she who is quiet amidst the noise
here in the forest, there is a-waiting
a little bird, quiet and sweet
she does not quite understand
how they could have born herthese foreign beasts

come now away
once in the darkness
where i was thinking
i saw a light
oh deep in my soul
i did not question
where it had came from
i simply sat
in its embrace
