in a country of ambition,
salmon bandage
a valley of hunger,
where houses creep
touching overhangs,
where squatters accumulate
trophies of deliverance
& wild flower riddles

something bout
a city of tenderness
it is then
my satin sheets think
bout the brothel of mystery~
where visions slumber
bridling flattery,
building
pearly cosmos and spazmatic words
creating some
center of universe
showing its face in psych-tone
threatening to overwhelm
and babe, so it goes

shadows bribe history’s gibberish
sagging buildings
with sloshy footsteps
cleaning dark sides
of ornamental illness
where familiar silver, matches DNA
fine pitching a
variation of melody
looking outside deep
into the sky’s ceiling
stripping the skin of questions
& all internal logic as we know it
jumping right into the blaze

ya know, the hard part isn’t tweaking color
it’s that hallway of moonlight streaming through the window
building hungry waves....tall,
salt and pepper gray
noble & fierce
meeting my gaze
in this...my section of this zoo
