warrior resting on his
haunches
mexican shield
shinning plate
sun pavement
heat
tired
yeah very tired
muscles
ocean sore
feelings
like taught anchor line
sinewy
feathered
the rasping twisting
sound
of storm tension
mawliong waves swell
and puke
up weight of gods

he stands up the
dull heat
of the desert
baked canns splitting
limping lizzards

why! the colors
on his toungue
stand so present...

well now comes
silent time
visions suspenede behind knees
of night
i wrench free
and spell mouth s of pain
that circulate to all
the mail boxes of sleepin giants
who needle me for their dreams
pick and choose
selfishly

now on sand beach
staring at the cosmos in my little form
with a poking stick
i declare the laws
of lonliness
and pick peaches...

i heard him
cleary
yelling from the
the bottom of the water cliff
smal but great man
big hands
and long white hair
old of appearance
but youn g
of heart
i heard him
but he told me that this was years ago
but i was hearing it now and the desparity
brought me to my knees but
i hit harder and harder
until we...

these
days
on the wet wood and grey eyes
when i hit the rock the stone
i hear its sould groan with with
with me
togehter
as i lift large peices
from its skin
the sacrifice is small compared to the feeling
of freedom it feels

now is a perfect time

scene this is

no's away

into a big fat NO

i think i see'things all the time
that i believe
is the declaration
of vision
the constittuion
of breath
it is the constant
rubbing
of plural worlds
that mkae one world
and pity us
who
try to see it as one
or different from tthe rest
pity us
who
look down
and not in the rear
view
mirror
of themselves
objects

i think i can control more things than i can
but that is thee tender plight
of life
like a good plane
taking off
from a smooth well lit
runway

i love
the smell of
my room after it rains a good
long time
hay smell
steel old smell
drugs in a orange canister
and all my thoughts
slippin and foldin
like a fish in...

scene 2

fear lost fear found
i live like a leash to
a dog
the hook is simple to realease
and i know the pastures
i could roam
the scents
i could comb
like a flea market in north paris
where sun is the only bounty
and fish fry deep in the sky
this ladder eludes me
i tell u
cat where did u go...

a symbol
that will rise
up in the end

i have many fears
many blocks
many ocds

and see what is over the hill

the rain feels
the inside of my stomach
gentle spider touch
kneading
the fallen
off fronds
the delicate ceremony
of ecology

i remeber days
of indian
liklihood
stages of dance
and rocks
that would not listen
my painted finger
now peruse the air
for meaning
and they are lauhgter hidden

the stage now
too big for red
girl
now white
with paint
its a memory...
