Wild Thing
Wild Thing – you make my heart break. Wild Thing – I cannot be this sane. Wild Thing – I hate you and am down with that. Wild Thing, you moved me. Wild Thing – come on and torque me tight. You … Continue reading
Little Pink Matches
Grace follows a girl who whispers love and wears a sweat in gentle tufts; corn and syrup. Positively lovely, adorning the sky with curling lace and little pink matches, waiting to strike. 45 rpm, soprano lilt; return dear scent, fond … Continue reading

Shadows Paint the Walls
My home is warm where skin blisters a fragrant smell. But my home is warm and I survive. Someone is always telling me to leave, but home is where I find my blanket. It is me. Call it sane mayhem, or … Continue reading

Hey Girl – Sweet Dirty Bitcher!
Hey big girl – lets play it fast with little start-up and pedal push. Beat the toms – let’s drum the dark and fit the lock and storm the pool. Oh big girl – slinky longest. You not … Continue reading

Twinkles of Stars
We turn around and find pinholes, water streams of light, from stars who swallowed and took our lives. With sounds of snorts and whiskered, bully throats. Whose heart am I searching, in this season of hello goodbyes? We look upon … Continue reading

Time Drips Down and Down
Abbreviated love this afternoon, until light strikes clouds and hours roar near. I think it often while extending moments and ticks, until my sun who shimmers; circles along my chest. Happy is the word and content for hands; that touched … Continue reading

We stopped what we were doing and went down west. Outdoors marching among the steel or within the wooden cities – we prayed escape, while running to big trucks of green, two-seater furnace runners and American steel. Gone and rid of papers, … Continue reading

Fuzz Fuzz Fuzz and Feedback Thrills
Lightning strikes me baby; oh man, it does. All tapered strings and such light moves. Downward licking – the voltage makes me high. Give me shake and push me raw – I want to hurt down low – so down. Your shrill … Continue reading

My Grump and Grind Act is Back to Feast
Back like baboons – full of grumps to grinds; my pleasures are theirs. They obey my commands! You guessed it old world, my new world troubles. The monkey house riots, are back in town. Here little monkey with feed-song screech. Claw … Continue reading

Travels Much Whimsy
37 points geographic, a plan – they say so in French. 48 feelings matched by same or less equal sentiments, of feeling lost by winded breath. Drop point here and travels much whimsy. Learn the new peculiar with abandon. Strengths … Continue reading

So We Live and Die Until Dark
Harsh land they say, so we live and die until dark and beaten we pray our way to heaven. Bodies angelic flailing about with haunches round; tilted upward. They don’t pray, these gilded principals. They are the extravagant; taken with themselves. … Continue reading

Backward Movemaker
Sitting on a hole in the sky – she flies – my mind drapes arms reaching – up the chute and down the even temperament; look below, the flow, the flow, the flow – the numb-horsed tropia – while the ringmaster whips. … Continue reading

It Is The Baring Of Wild-Eyed Tensions

Grinning Across the Shadows and Clouds – Wild Monkey Cry
Well, well – it seems the monkeys are out, the water is soiled and the wind blows down, across my feet and face. Hair real tangled. What is it boogie-girl, hot like paste, cold as snow? My arms feel weak; not … Continue reading
