sifting through the strewn
It took the stones out of my mouth, and replaced them with pennies over their eyes... a ship sent sailing to the edge, excavated heart caverns, hands folded over in what i could only imagine was the symbol for peace.. [backwards wings and onslaught of bones] Every so often, the fragments resurface i'm sure you've seen it, eyes alight with rabid memories, strewn across the carpet hands clamped tight and buttercups in photographs, in electronic devices [a choice made twice] roaming and ,smudging like ghosts, like shadows, like conflicting psyche..making more of it than it was.. a story i could roll out like entrails, a tale as tall as the stars, on their stilt legs,overstepping statues. a memory as jagged as shark teeth, and jutting flames as we were burning in hell, as we counted backwards to 7.. hand in hand, heads touching as we sprawled out on the landing, on the platforms of wood in parks like there was only then,and never ever, when the world would stoop holding its breath, where you gave that last cheshire cat grin and made your lies into truths, made violence into purpose, made bad dreams into nightmares.. just like snapping fingers, and the two halves are there spreading my ribcage wide open to encompass this entire avalanche like working class echos, black and white intensity gleaming jarred against the contrast that viscous viscous contrast that your impression left,a longing stretch long after you up and walked.. long after these shadows crept, from beneith my eyes into the storm clouds gathered like leaning visitors at my doorstep, at my bedside, as i sit awake and gaze at the downfall, blurred and ugly and enraged at all that had happened, at all that does happen when we forget to pay close attention.. when we get tangled up in detail.. forget the brittle exoskeleton, and dance too close with madness, learn too much on the human methods, and all the selfish filth we have become picking each other apart, like rabid hyenas at a lions kill. [a curve in the neck of the swan the swaying of the weeping willow dancer in the midafternoon high wind] rolling forefinger over thumb, rain hammering and aeroplanes sound overhead.. a trashed image emerges, sounding hammers onto skulls and black eyes to the overheard. its exhausting to watch you at work its testing to watch the harm we test like we care, knowing we can escape that no one looks too closely, no one sees the subtle.. [thats what went wrong, we all forgot to be there..] and then, and then, and then, . . its empty streets of cobbles, winding downward towards the canal echos of clarinet and standup bass, bleak fog and the timetravel.. days after blurrs to unknown, staggering walks through black paths of industrial buildings with blown out windows, looming structures of decay rusted gaping eyes, wisping trails of old old magick, and moonlight dreaming bringback memories of starvation and insomnia [the best pieces i ever wrote] [the best parts i ever played] trailing wool and playing cards through the freezing year... when waking through your eyes, and letting the back curve just the right amount straighten the sinks, rattle the coins strike jarring vocals into the snow.. we all died and were reborn, we all shed skin like stolen overcoats from the lushworkers broke windows in each others souls and struck matches in the heartchambers burning rings of scartissue that maybe might never heal maybe might stay smouldering draining or giving strength, purpose or defeat sitting entwined in back alleys back to back, arms locked worse than junk, they s a i d talking through rotting teeth, and cigar trailing hands through hair and midnight majick, locked the protection,skipped the record and set fire to the strings the walls of concentration, the structures of foundation, came tumbling down those nights.. the blackness had spread through his eyes, [thats what took him] [let the calm break through me artificially injected through a series of precise routines] broke every voice we knew, lost every illusion we held close like ragdolls, like desperate beleifs, that we all make it out of this alive, that every one made their wings to fly.. up..up.. instead of, towards the gaping jaws ,and then it was just quiet, and the eyes cleared and the smoke died down like a curtain.. like a spinal column settling. a loud series of snaps, and a gutting like the very soul was scooped out and then replaced altered.. no discretion, no conscious definition, of 'for better or worse' [just different,quietly] flittering memories, of such a beautiful face and why she lost her cool. memory, of endlessness, of blue skies across meadows and a march of monsters across the circumference of the moon.. of the feel of batting eyelash, and whiskers and whispers of sweetness instead of tragedies that have been buried deep behind my eyes, ringing in my ears like swingset songs... sometimes up into the light, other times,downwards towards the night..

the sunshine strikes again, steer clear of the frozen fingers
as smoke cascades sideways from crude brick chimneys down to meet with the joker sun expressions of the morning,wearing wellington boots and sipping white coffee in the snowmade back porch box churches and sunken headstones [beneith it all lies a creek,wavering out like the near forgotten basilisks] even the dogs grave wasn't spared, snout chipped slightly,. smoothing out verses, over woodpanel benches a perch made all yer own, curled up deep in the booths of cheap diners, with those flickering florescent lights trying not to crash,trying not to laugh and mangle that pretty bright psyche car,candycolored in the persistent traffic of M.Emory of clammy paws and shaking head to the beat lying all alone,on the dirt and glitterencrusted glamour of that one reaccuring floor spreading out arms,to immitate heart to immitate a falling star,never caught in time wishes dripping through that soft green grass of feilds and valleys, schoolyard in reality catching breath like a bee in a jar, freezing it and tieing a little bow,so it can never fly too far away fromthe source,the hope,the understated truth of feeling,of seeing,of nothing,nevermind laughing through the storms dancing with the lightning,holding hands with willow as he bends his majestic boughs down at the park and just letting it all spin spin till the circles turn their effect on the world and we all ring around the rosey [nothing to do with the plague,this time,i promise..] . a wander into the streets of yesterday seems function has never been fully determined the machines of emotion falter too often,and moves are rarely made when they should.. softly spoken eyelashes, snailshell smiling hide the face behind the curtains,the show is done playing to the public has always been so awkward boardgames seem more appropriate chucking our voices about the room like coins down down the well, no girl shall crawl out of this one monsters are too close to home the black eyes of the consumed, the sharp jagged moves [i never said i was beauty, i alway prefered the beast. but my what a misunderstood beast it was.] the story is wound around my wrist and i can't help but sing,when no one can see from sideways doorways, keys to the hidden ways,unlock the little overlooked but just don't flee.. . a shooting star is a story,its tail holds cosmic fragments if nothing to do with the happy ending its not pessimism, i have never been that fatalistic even after a few deaths clung to the corners of sleeplesseyes and needles scattered over the floors the junk was corrosive. took turns ,rolled the dice, and caught the bus with the realization of simplicity the hardest ego may crumble and watching forests slip past a 4 day window ]bleeding moon playing the clouds into formation visualization of breaking back to basics lone flowing hair womyn crossing oceans to turn her head forward turned back around,cuaght by the ghosts and spoken to by no real consolation building bones stronger,frame from dissintergration stepping out of one cage and into another [there is no door] its so hard to remember,when you stand at edge after edge after edge keep the streets close,and your fears closer how else do you win the game,they advise, that has been played for centuries across the spine matching torn paper to handwriting of the departed[i will remember always,don't think i too will forget all those wasted nights stored beneith the skin] its time for celebration,even if i can't stop crying even if the fever has grown into a fine frenzy benieth vaulting ceilings the cracks may cause it all to collapse but there is wreckage to build from and anything can be made into glue to bind the faltering heart beat to drum the bassline . a chipped shoulder making clay into paper,as the sunrises on track working complication into typeformat empty out the trash records flung like frizbee, bookcover to the human impression scripted out and bound with pictures raising laughter over the screaming sidestepping,take this dance to the floor don't wake me up before i am done this dream keep the locket at the gates snapped shut to press the flowers puddles of cobbles and snuffles of runny noses receding steps backwards down all the runways of mind fashion the frame was shaken,but the core remains intact and stubborn as a leech it will take more than salt to tear it away entranced,but in secrecy or as secret as the most obvious reaction can be once upon a time i stood in the centre,but far off to the corner in a room not too far from here,over tea and compact living,stringing catscradle automation makeshift improvosisation at the call of company gaze crashing to the collecting dust the spiderweb decorativ incorporation light those past rooms cluttered by books and african brothers dagger et mace masks expressing only frozen personality,when you look over with the army decor of the french,world war 2 roman influence seeping from maps and cat nose ,as he used to dance ballet paws held to a clean point. . whisper stardust into my eyes pupils burned out by the sun lighter clicking teeth stained by tea all these years tapping out the melodies on tabletops tearing the matches from my skull chewing fingers, exorsice this nervernous from my tummy the impending instance the fluttering of a thousand monarch butterflies make room for the moths move over isolation.make room on the stilts for the piano of simple contentment cutting like a butterknife though the oceanside sands still moist from the visiting tide swayed like a lover by the moon to return return past the chipped shells,place the pebble beneith the tounge and treck onwards torn sweater of rough twine and mended chain little grey string tied in doubleknot collecting feathers, perhaps one day wings will be made crude and wax clotted and childlike but that can't mean they won';t hold// footnote to the orchestra of solar bazarr smokin' cigarette like a philospher bring back the 'los' concept,even cross all that distance and all those beers chugged by candlelight while the beetles scuttled,and centipedes tapped their shoes tie the laces,so you won't trip this time this time the music speaks down within the ribcage i can still joke through the tears laugh through the doubled up pain,if i want to can't help it,migranes get a kick out of it the voice is getting haggard but the emotion conveyed is worth the momentary rasp the evident flaws mapped out in craniological terms over wiskey and coffee,in the Griffen's layer one young day with God and the Alien [come see it again..] the faults are what makes us who we are// and i am in love with yours.[save it for later] the peace and quiet of monday morning in the sunshine in the snowstorm muffled beyond thought.procession in the

be taken in and for someone to treat me like he didn't,at the tail end of shell building in iron when it all cut the circulation off and freezing happened. in need of intervention,in dire need of calming or was that just words of consolation i do not search the starsigns.i refuse to put my neck out to the guillotine. there are no first moves within my vocabulary shy bright thing smoldering

the fool and the falling star
we,.took the stars within our arms and emptied our eyes of your visions; your dirty fingerprints and double exposures, blackened tongue of missing heart.. opened our palms to the sun, and unsheathed our backs to the moon a face turned up to the night fall, [the mauve hour,and its sweetsweet weight] uncovered and unshackled returning to real faces, our blatant cores flashed like dirty secrets, like ill kept yearnings a parade of magnificent mistakes [birds in midflight] and then somehow, they are clean and true.. no mistake to think of.. scraped away the masks and fiction, worshiping our flaws, unfastening our ties and binds acknowledge the imperfections that make us whole and we are taking, and we are taken and we are given, giving strength crossing our hands above heart beats.. feather and flames reignited and the memory that we are blessed, that we, are re..creation letting time fall in granules of sand from the concepts, the ideals the perfection glimpsed in the illusions ;that control exists, that we have identical limbs that life will stop and wait at the red light a stall for the sake of singular a gesture tailored and \may i go, and i don't know why.. may i walk forward and be content, upon this concrete, drawn in and buckled down, upon the ground in passion in madness in intensity in acceptance in love and unconditional continuation down there with the dirt of the earth, and the roots of life until i lose my sense of confinement between these lines drawn, stepping over the wires over the joined arms of blocked vision the gangs of 'right' and 'wrong' until we stand , dancing barefoot mind expanding outward, contemplating unrefined thoughts like this, here, now [the only moment there is..] the intense sense of.., a breath drawn deep from within the belly ear layed down to hear the shudder.. a shard of silence shared like a slice of ice between two minds, between a thousand eyes clasped together.. sending pebbles off of rooftops; safe and sound, drawn out like the eagle curled into and out caught up in midair, the great mysteries stories mentioned in passing by Raven the great simplicities...of falling and a sensation, a fingertip to spine backwards as opiates, sideways as the lines installed, in the crosses and x's symbols intilling errors and fear with all their repentance clung to the arms of humanity, begging for bites.. here i be walking through the walls, sideways gazing, arms held open trying to find that .between station; a concentration of meaning joined between finality of impermanence, drawn in the vacuum of moment, [a room like no other] andcaught, by the cusp of reason, a soft embrace beneith night skies petals drifting from the open blossoms. and there is a searing pain dislocated worse than bone fragments, in this structure.. we was born to houses with doors and the every attempt to open the pathways between us kisses on both cheeks listening to the impossibility like the meteor shower skimming the branches of weeping willow. a magnetic circle, drawn around and round this, eyes closed to the thunder. palms stretched up to the electric and a silent speech, shaken from the folds of fabric,like a granite river, like stardust from the skies sweet oblivion cradling life with affection, instead of desperation..soft skin and batting eyelashes carried across the threshold of secrets untold ,a rainstorm of exsistence and i ain't got no coat on,but i am still dancing remembering those cloudy days,and midmorning suppers drank down like hot chocolat with all the makebelieve,tucked away in a pocket with string and hearts made of paper we will reenter the world hand in hand ,like guests and hosts,and complete fools.

When we stand at the gates, fists curled up to meet the doors, hands drawn up to scour the contures of our faces reflected in dusty mirrors in semidarkness The pressing connections between one thought to the evolutionary step of action, these realizations drawn from a game of dominos the childrens play of marbles, one hits off, spinning out a dozen more.. and the stone throwers stop in a row, heads inclined and eyes widened gaze leveling downwards as the gravity of the occasions of past.. step up the stairs in grave mood tying the strings of fear and its instigations into bows, one hand clasped to another hair caught on the sharp edge of curled lips as the winds raise their voices [and i swore, i could hear the world breeaathe, that shuddering cavernous creek a thousand sinking shipsss] \  Stepping lightly, everythings started spinning feathers disheveled across gardens, imagery and flittering emotional electricity around and before the eyes like twisting film.. those features are hard to forget the cold flint within the eye of the hurricane burning candles at dusk,just stepped out of the fires.. and the ways in which we wear out aren't even equivalent to the exhaustion we breed by trying endlessly to fight ourselves trying to dig the holes to bury whatever traits we decided you decided weren't worthy weren't the preferable, specified, the right way to wear our hats, our smiles, our ties incorrect records to laugh, to dream, to move as we wish, did you wish that? the intensity in a snailshell, sitting alone upon the window sill as the darkened clouds begin to coterize.. i hear the deafening weight carried across the earth by exsistence.. And within my head, i dream of the lifting of all the cages i dream of endless open skies, und der Freiraum ,that can almost be glimpsed in a piano concerato, the deep emotional voice of cello, swaying lost within birch and peeling paint.. and i dream of days of thunder stripping the shingles off of our petty judgements, and the searing pains of isolations imposed as though every person is a god; yet doesn't point inwards for better, but projects outward in an attempt to heighten their status.. i dream of days when blood will stop seeping through the walls of society, like overcast wraiths and all those rainswept streets will echo the poetry of unconditioned thought ,sans premeditated layouts sans the boxes and molds we have been asked to force our varied forms into.. what has progressed in a world, that after thousands of histrionic recollections, can offer up nothing more than the same foolish patterns drawn from scrawl to ink to shiny technological 1s and 0s, i ask you, as an insignificant entity ,with all the burning of a thousand decades of injustice, what should i have done with my talents to solve? what didnt i do that i could easily have been able to learn? they say one alone is nothing, but one living for their life with others in love, instead of for only others and resentment is more powerful withstanding... and every silence has a story to tell the lost echo of the moments ensnared within the struggles, a sky moving sideways across peaceful sight as they face the cliffsides, even as the experience states just a moment left, just a dozen decades ravished with wartime splendor, with the contradictions layed out like wounded soildiers and we can no longer distinguish, our minds have been overpowered drowned by the entranced visions [she's afraid of a light in this dark...] this bird may fly, but the cage shall be left and i wont lay down this hammer, till its good and dismantled and scattered across the sands of the red desert and this skinl sheds the poisons spit out all the sharp words, inclining heads for all those years of searing and straining against the bonds, and the memories of others the second hand guilt, the untouched anger at the state the world created, the world we manufactured by the laws with all our love, all our hate, all our ... neverending arguments, drawn out like infinity just as the snake chases its own tail.. i dream of vast meadows reflected across the surface of your eyes, metaphorically, a break in the ice, and a silence to these fears, these fears i see wandering the streets, and flickering through the bodies of the people.. i dream of calm, after all the years consumed like the half starved dogs ,consuming the moon, like the haunting image of your face like the dark streets of east hastings like the black eyes of blindness... {how many fates took to their heels, how many masks chipped from our faces? i've stood spinning here,making myself sick in my attempt to run from the sun... i'd taken every poison they fed me, and yet i still failed to keep you alive.. so i painted our faces, and i caught the next ride chasing the shadows of past, dragging myself along the sea's bottom for the mistakes i made, the venom i spat when it all came down crashing on our heads breaking all those perfect card houses a handful of 'roaches and the cats pulled from windows and i was frozen, to that moment the years that stretched as far as my pupils after 6 days insomniac, and white kaffee draining around bared teeth churning smoke...] i wake,and there are vast skies, and i don't resist letting them capture me for those few moments of peace, and the reminder that i balance my own scales now after years of tipping back and forth/  X ~JHT | | Friday, March 27th, 2009 | | 12:26 pm |
making stick fires, they sat about a random tower trailing sleeves in the dirt, and magick spells cast offkilter sewing stitches into the hems of dreams the dreams of broken wishes, and eyes closed tighter than should have been required had the days sunken their sound had the rats kept to themselves had the blankets housed less holes and the wind been let in,to dispel the sense of gloom from the accumulation of misguided magick of sinking .. there was one, where every sleep would fall endlessly down a well every time, stand about the edge, see the inevitable end and yet..and yet, simply gravitate regardless as though that was an eternal wish keeping the end in sight, was safer than not knowing that well, began to instill the saftey only repetition blinds us into beleiving is right. .. there was one, a child of mere age that would daydream after nightmare always end up surrounded by the sphinx with their gleaming eyes shining from london streets trecking forwards,claws clicking on cobbles in trailing little circles, like question marks and ask her, over and over and over 'if there were a thousand skies and yet ,only behind her eyes, where did they belong?' | | Monday, August 25th, 2008 | | 10:28 pm |
through the curtains of rain  [photografie:Aleš WAKSMUNDSKÝ] . in sotspoken fragments,the woven excerpts a timeline unraveled like ribbon through inconsistent finger movements over the sunken keys of the grand piano stationed in rest,or perhaps..moreso disuse, at the far corner of that wartorn dancefloor all splintered and coarse as the language of a vagrant emptied at The time, the Time of censor when the jazz was torn out of our hands and hats freedom crushed beneith one selfproclaimed lord after another shoelace ties clipped from necks, dollface with the sad eyes, pale as an orchid keeping watch by the windows as the chase rang out through halls and alleys bass saxophone, bitter backalley doorway scribblings on the most passionate of notes, between rage and rebellion, resistance and preservation.. ,weaving stories truth donning masks in third person to express silence, and the after thought.. of breaking it.. and those words lived onward and onward, these words echo as those echoed the thoughtlost notebooks, the chained in smuggled and troubled penned in the hidden walkways of frozenplaited past glasseyed and lacklustre, pallid and wrought of ivory and iron.. through petals of rain, the imagery stands embossed.

Carnival callings to d,ear Prudence
there was a ragtag band following behind us all dressed in chalk smeared black and red diamonds, blues smudged as the night pastel over sharpened cobbles in silence and in musick, tophats tilted and patchwork coattails,.veils clung down like cobweb curtains beneith the bleeding beautyspot horizon cradled within delicate fading mountains sleeping as the selfpronounced heavens,[shimmering feather boa constrictors] rained rose petals and scarab beetles,. like storms kissing the ocean.a porcelean hand to the splintered heart chambers and the lines on the sands matched to trailing tails of skampering feet,snailshell patterns the caravans born of darkened pine breeding all of noah's arks worth in woodworms and termites flying silk flags and dancing feathers turning words into dancesteps through the pockets of Time,unusual collections of weather wild ways of turning winds through hair and eyelashes the insturments played in brass and rust keeping tuned with the shadowed windows on either side of thoughts creepin' a mixmatched laugh,ringing out brazen and biting smooth as seasoaked velvet in the rain of wednsday morning,or was it friday? keeping the keys next to the bass,chipped mug next to the snakeeyes rhythm bordering on abandon ,a tumbleweed affair as the bottles roll cross the tipping ship surface in the clouds,on the way to touch the Moon carried upwards through horsedrawn and seagull carried structures resembling,but not quite pinpointing this waywardly carnival,maskclad but hiding nothing nothing in a jar with everything and just the smallest remnants of blueberry jam keeping the hardtoreach corners warm... .

Walkabout
She walked before the storm, along longdeserted paths. Hands loose at the sides but outstretched to the night when little fingers seeked. This girl with her drawn down mannequin face wore peeling paint dresses and unwinding sweaters of soot. They came to cling to her icesculpted hands like missing children of the milkcarton sort, swinging and grinning through the delicate mist and smoldering petals. Here shadows peeled and lamplights flickered where she passed. Little monsters crept out from hiding to follow her lead,like rendition Pied Piper of the ethiereal, they moved in black water backstreets in the wake, eyes encrusted with charcoal like ornaments and curling limbs of dotted ink spills. Creepers of the Twilight, locked through fractured bass riffs at the entrance of Night upon tilting horizon veiws [where the ships are spun upwards to meet for tea with the starsss]. Like trailing smoke, the musick unraveled at her heels. Little faces appeared at the edge of gutter and sunken stone structures leaning inward as aged greiving. The realm of untarnished rusting magick ,of the veils thinnest moments, the Time of no clocks comprehension. Hair trailing through winds fingers like muffled beauty. Through the smooth clicking atmosphere, she walked tall despite the freezing breath of twisted metal remains and years upon years of distance. Lone tuning of assorted instrumentals slipping from the windows passed, they began to form like portals, gaping jaws from where they crept to join the cloud of beings in tow like trailing ribbons, linking to her in common and in difference, these sinking frames of Twilight made in motions. All mixmatched brothers and sisters, some thin birch bark wrapped and excavated fossil pressed close to slinking smiles that curled upwards in plaster,others held up bandaged claws with neverending songs fashioned of wayward wordless lullaby in the tangled ears of cryptick knotted flesh made of uncertain recollection. Others still wore hats topped with matted fur and whiskers turned upward towards beadwork eyes brightened like wildfire. Feather clung to wax backs and snickers tangled paws as they spun round and round and round,like backmasked sound.. The streets curled before her and behind her like serpents, cobbles akinned to roughworn scales in deepringing color. She led the misfits and rambles through those darkened ways like Korczac had led his orphans,loyal figurehead to the longsunken ship eyes,ringed with stars even if they were meant to fall like comets...

the way they were leaning inward them walls looked lost in reflection through dreary weather and smileflecked children passing stooped against the onslaught of winter fingers freezing lillies of the linguistics translations for what words couldn't quite touch from far above the starry faces hair caught at the edge of lips and snailshell the matted visages entered the scene like great wings past daylight hours,out of reach of harm these Forgottens moved like fluid choreographed euphoria one step here and one tap there long fingers wrapped in elegance,angular skeletal frames profiles caught the breath of any regardless so frightening,the people would whisper behind closed drapes like a horror story,even if they never knew its source never thought to seek the truth. from word of mouth into ears of misbehaving child though perhaps it was for the better,that the Forgottens remained untouched by prying questions ,stinging looks from prejuidiced eyes stormy with fear and revolt just because they wore the skulls of cows and bears [such little things taint like dye drops on coffee filter..] they preffered perhaps,that humanity remained non the wiser as they prowled those frostbit streets swarms and on the lonesome,shrouded clouds of hanging fabric little nails touching delicate like microscopic instruments so much care behind the motorized bones, like softspoken love in the velvetine embrace of candlelit rooms. they tilted they gazes grazing the closed doors and chipped stairs moving from one place to another,dining on dreams spinning gossamer seams to stitch together beyond the realm so fashioned as 'reality',those hopes and deepwell penny wishes to construct the lives of subconscious dreaming into elaborate stories fit for those who walk on and nightmarish sigils into the rabid realms of those who burn.. each a lesson to learn,a fear to face,empowerment to receive by their wistful musings made aide to the humanity that scorned them,unawares though when sleeping,to these gliding sails to shipwrecked frames hung crude against the winds [in love and lighte,the dark too do sometimes walk] X | | 9:36 am |
