land me gently
and open wide
i’m coming out so
love me blind
she’s love, bee
she loves like
truth turns me inside
have you ever drank the sun?
they taste just like that
a bright blank lightening
for life loves them like
oh she loves the sight
and i love the light
oh my, oh my

do you see your phases?
i don’t need you to
understand just yet
just your patient attention
like vision without scrutiny
i keep losing self to the image
giving my time to love
like patient processing
turns the doctor into a dove
for the sound she makes
is one for the record

get over it the medicine
is self fulfilling prescription
placebo in all doses
mystery may spill blood
with that pen dontya know
the heart of a lion
whispers to the snake
tongue entranced like a lovers
verse is hypnosis
if you let me hold you gently
i’ll be your captive brother
in arms wholed up here

still, i speak
what kind of ruler
measures the weight of a pound
with an eye for how
far off the mark?
to gauge one battery
ramming against the castle door
calling out for the princess
to be queen of the hive
“not without me!”
says the arbiter of truth
so we took up that space
& there was this light

you are creator
when the led and the rubber
become one as two

my points are shaky
ground like headstands forgetting
are the whole point of

my words don’t work these
days are like battering rams
knocking up for love

my word! make me a
way to bear iteration
these paws are bankrupt

a bribery charge

proofing
that’s the businesses
of love

show me your offices
& i’ll show you to mine
it’s a bit of a labyrinth

mind your toes
the sticky parts
are a work in progress

here we’ve got magic
powders and goblets
of gold

pardon the underground
tunneling
i’ve secrets to spill

soon
come again
won’t you?

before life sprouts
in your world
you are
immortal
fermenting
honey
