 YOU

 

Hysterical naked and dragging

Through heaven’s roof illuminated

Floating across the vertex of cities

 

Your smile and memory 

Fills the nebulae of the mind

 

We have a song

The loosed string tells our note

 

Waiting for history to begin

Making my own heaven

To see you again


 




 ATARAXIA

 

Time to enter the Epicurean Garden

A buffer to the Zephyrs blowing of

Obscurantist voices impregnating

The innocents huddled in ignorance.

 

Tranquil pleasures-

Procreative purpose-

 

In an atomic swerve

Filling desolate emptiness

Looking for less what’s there

Then what was truly missing.
