broken abbey One writer's thoughts…

Tension

Apollo's fissured time,
muted and screened by circumstance.

This silky night of tears
eclipses the eye in shuttered laughter.

Delicious tragedy,
life's movement a conflict
of fractured author and masqued audience.

inhaling a starless breath

we limp under a hanging world
whose pressured shadow
tastes hot like silky desire

Chaplain of Fabulous Paper

Put out the eyes of foresight,
which underneath taught torrential calm
despite the thrilling clear acumen.
Take ease in the transparent
steady slumber which it allies like
privileged unmasked liquid,
binding sanity to impulse,
a manifold chord.

Demonic rum,
harmless to the churchman's skeleton,
that rabbit of relief and sovereign egotist,
loops prejudice and indexes possibilities
preying on resident thoughts
which tingle with ill passing.
Enter the transfusion of flashing
standstills germane to grasping,
leaving us to stare at appealing refractions.

I am the chaplain of more fabulous
paper, armed to a depth
improper of my horn.

Eat now the radiant fable
that plagues appreciative solitude,
growling and guessing
at the unscrupulous gateway.
Feast on the conventional desert;
a sharp, breakable universe
suspended in abandonment.

Wear proud the handsome,
crescent number inscribed on your courage;
that figure which sometimes distributes
terms of a malignant image,
tied southwest to northeast;
a frenzied, faithless host.

Dream assured, inventor
of my outer octagonal tear,
in the havoc of shines
devoted to that balancing stage,
longing command
parallel to criminal cosmic budgets.

Mark now the forehead
byway of tearing westward
a red diversion,
swift and half sure crop rags.

Join the experimental homecoming union,
grinding cllutchless sympathy.
Bleed of the surroundings
that loop and bind our feet.
Battle the occasional barbarian
dream in curious structure.

Critical routes
pass disgusting guardians
and common horror lust.
Puncture blind unreality,
pages of prayer upon daily prayer,
a harmless price.

The firm, pale reef-joint boasts
crisp, mean contempt,
guarded of my winning current.
Addled of that attempted habitually
withdrawn structure,
ladies growl diamond clusters.

Today darts alert,
waking the past with vapor
flash sacrifice cries.
Crawl inside the hypnotic ash
which den
ies collapse in plain appreciation.
Bone rough and wounded glare
wilderness cunning.

Temperament counters a
leaky social class.
Hearing good never grew
almighty author of wounds.
Slow that irony which grants
a fire beacon army,
rendered well to anguish
away the high human nerve slab
whose plight dates back to
assent exhaustion.

Aerial compass of low damp glory,
a humble scientist cock
full of suggestion, rooted and flying.

Shiver the roar of gray
floating assemblage glee.
Welcome is the contrary
necessity of trousers,
a healthy accord of westward agreement.
Attract large thunder comprehension
that neglects schooling character,
a stupidity shock to confuse us.

Stalks of Faith

A helpless yellow disciple of anger,
precariously fluttering against the concrete earth.

Preachers and brethren,
hung by the umbilical stalk of faith,
shake and chortle.

The wavering spine of desire,
snapped and severed
by the coarse sparks of flesh.

Red tenderness is found
by flames of will.

Abandon

Mildly blamed abandon,
a vanishing madness
poignant over the boundlessness
of hot yard, pagan-hearted discontent;
of sweet man, with verbatim extreme control.

Mighty punishment out of turn
casting the bound shrine,
a bygone tomb,
where indeed electricity
arcs truly their legend.

Regional bloody faith
itemizes the witnesses.
Grave-wide perceptible excuses
condemn religious humility
with calculated infected ejaculations.

Weakness wrought out of structure
holding dearly
to the offending horn.
Faltering skins swallow anything,
downcast moonlight their restraint.
