Take away my knowlege
Like a bird dropped from a high place
Change my clothes
Its fetus tears
Its temple
Its hemorrhaged sight
Zigzag my heart
With magic with touch
Deliberately dilate my chest
With your index finger
Summon me
The multitudes
Iinside my head
The flatness of my feet
Holding my breath
Row me to shore
Cover me with green algae
Mothering some kind of ritual
Some kind of courage
In this skin
That hurts
love dictates
dotting everywhere
compulsively
defensively
exchanging affirmatively in flames
windows neatly drawn
housing the hard skin
spreading the wild things
innocently with every breath
these fences trying to find
the native groove of trees
it’s gentle deadly tides
the shy writings i withdraw
disobediently parceling the stroke
the acceptable words that confine me
i am a grownup
wearing this outrageous
expensive grayed sea
inviting the good ideas
the minicathedral near my thumb
desperately beating my heart with it’s high voice
O’ clown immortal brute
Come love this theater that thighs for you
Antiseptics unraveling the heavy makeup
Slick seeking the tears
The old games
With a magic that talks itself
O’ mercy mercy clown
Let’s pretend you are ten
And I am eight
Let’s both perform
Humor hungering dust anew
Mischief tattle-telling those old fools
Miming the instructed speech
How to breathe the summer rose
Like children who whole blue
Without the thorn’d jokes
Laughing with the tongues inside our heads
The strangers in our rough legs
Holding to bow
This danger show of plastic sighs
O’ clown you gravy clown
Standing ovations to you
Your elephant dance
Who didn’t really need me at all
If you hear a distant thump
It was me
The friend
The voice
Pitting
Softly
At your
Throat
The governed exitence
Flying about in search
Sleeves together balance
Tempted to forget Gods
But between you and me
Nothing diffuses my clouds
I wished I was a bird
And you showed me
My clapped hands
Opening this singing of mine
To spectacularly loud
