or

whom/what-ever..

please send me
some omniscient thing


All-Naughty

Not

all

mighty.

A Crossing

Here the obliquity
of
axes converge

Offshot energies
replete with all manner
of unresolved
currents clang and shimmy

Chispas en todos lados

The Deep

The green, dream she-shark
flexes her perfect jaws
beneath me in
the eerie-early
dawning hours.

How I wish
to descend

and cruise all
hungry and primal
with her.

I am

not ready

yet.

Die

it gets thrown

if it ain't weighted

it's just chance

lands how it will


We?

also

sort of


Though we look
hope
hope beyond hope

for 7

again

and

again

Condensation

getting to and from work
provides me

with moments
most meditative

The Rock
inspiration for many movies
insoluble incarceration

San Quentin
where all manner of evils
live and fester

Golden Gate

Works Progress
Wonder of the World
and

leaping off point
for those at wits end

and the wind and fog

the primeval mists
I love so much

No One

twitches 'is eyes
like Mr Vince.

Though viewing
'Is Brother's Keeper

I thought I'd never
seen a man

so paralysed with fear

and woulda took a bullet for 'im.

Bathing Stones

The traveller,
stunned into bafflement,
in the overcrowded bazaar,
wandered, dazed,
mid-morning sober,
utterly soul-struck.

Having just passed
a dream face where
it stood,
all too fleshly real,
selling papayas.

Really, there was no context,
he'd never been to Asia, nor
lived amongst Asians.

Only once,
when an adolescent,
had he dreamt of some berobed,
wholly foreign creature,
(perhaps based on his
kindergarten teacher)
deftly elegant, without effort,
reduce him to quivering jelly
with a glance and humble nod.


So he bought gemstones,
bathed them in goats-milk,
and gave them to her the following day.
