Wind
Come harvest with me
Under our mighty sun
My blood is thicker for my love that passes
Thousands of times I have smoked
Weeping Red ends the sky
Oak Red makes sky greater
The strength of mountains can no longer hold me
The strength of currents can no longer carry me
Kneel down by the river
An eagle lands upon a rock
My heart is now in summer
And summer is my heart
Weeping Red makes good rope
Oak Red makes good boil
Leaves fall for long
Colored teas gathered
Winter winds blow in my face
Blistered hands burnt
Move Westward said Eagle God
Become named and never return
Come back a new son
Return as a mighty one
Come back a new daughter
Return as a blade of grass
Weeping Red now gone
Oak Red now gone
Drum beat played on hill
Drum beat played on ground
Men with cow carcass bellies
Blow to your burial
The wind leaves a trail
And the rain pours on your dead

Walk Away
After the rain wept
I could not even raise myself up
I could not stand
My entire body was shaking
My eyes looked down
Sad
Not knowing why
Questioning
The rain continued
Today it poured
Morning hours
A coolness swept over
Pushing the warmth away
Puzzled
And empty
I took to the streets
Walked alone
Questioning
My thoughts racing around
Constantly hungry
Trying to hold
The memory is past
My hands shiver with my breath
I can't believe it now
I don't want to go
You shut the door
And now I'm gone
The wet street beneath
Golden light reflects
A man at the door
Around the corner I turn
Questioning
Fog sets in
Surround my shivering body
My soul
My emptiness
My shadow you decline
Ignored
Forgot
Before the night falls to the sunrise
I go on walking
Away
With The Bible in hand

Wolf’s Flu
She asked me, “Would you like some more?”
I said “Yes please.”
Overhead, on the radio, I could hear what seemed to be the Talking Heads
We had a conversation, about the songs that related to every woman I dated
or was involved with. It’s weird, we both realized, ... it was a hot summer
night.
Am I right or wrong? My god, what have I done?
Nowadays it’s no more 12 cups of coffee with 4 sugar and 2 sweet n’ low per cup.
Now I take it black, strong, thick.
It was a conversation unrealistic. I only spoke to her once. When she was
in California and I was in New York. We’ve exchanged before but not like
this. It was just grand. I recall my High School English professor using
that word.
Today I put on a suit and tie and got myself a new job.
In a way it’s kind of horrible, I have to ‘dress up’ now when I goto work.
Some days are better than others.
And, If I want to be free, I’ll be free.
It’s in my head.
She rolled over, next to the ice cold glass of water.
She was in white, the drapes moved with the wind from the open window.
Far in the back we heard the rumble of a stock train going by.
This is where we were that day.
Pittsburgh
Later I met with Paul and Andy and Myself.
I wish I had some tongues with me.
One summer I would drive my car on errands for my gay boss.
I would drive up the New York State Thruway and get off.
That summer I listened to two songs over and over again, and one tape.
She made me a turkey sandwich; He knew something was up.
My grandmother, on my mother’s side, she would make this potted chicken
dish stew thing.
I, pretty much hated it. But I really did dig the potatoes and carrots in
the stew.
If I’m out in the sun too long, I get an awful sunburn.
Who wants to go walk on a nude beach?
I was walking home the other day, just after a thunderstorm.
The sky was so incredible. The sunset was just over the clouds, but hiding.
The sky was pink and the light reflected all over me and on the streets and
buildings and people and taxi cabs, gosh I wish I could replicate that
beauty ... in a painting or photograph... But It will have to last in my
head. As long as I can take it.
So, like I said, I’ll bring down the government walls.
I finished, and asked her for the check.
I told her “Have a good night.”

Woman In Blue
The woman in blue
My Azul
From Argentina
Showing her belly button
Her smiling lips
Her beauty bending
Few words spoken
Glances from chairs
I wish I knew her name
I wish I knew her name
She sat just a few chairs away
Just before we exchanged questions and answers
She would look back at me
I would look at her
Glancing her up and down
Following her contour
Her bare feet
And black low cut pants
Up upon her waist and her tight piercing-blue top
The curves of her breasts to her neck
And her rose lips and great baby brown eyes
Imagined the love we could make
She was, a guess, about thirty-four or five
Beautiful from the Southern Sea
All we did for the rest of the evening
Was glance at each other
Not speaking a word
Only exchanging smiles of wonder and understanding
And appreciation for the photographic memories
Woman In Blue
I wish I got to know you
Your aging hands and palms and ringless heart
Woman In Blue
I might bump into you and grind away at what makes you tick
Through our connection of wires that brought us together
I’ll see you later
Hopefully at Two
Tonight, I’ll dream of Blue

Without You
I saw the thorn twist in your side
And I was so revolted that there was a thorn in your thigh
I just had to lean over
And relieve myself of this morning’s breakfast
And I realized
I can live without you
And I can’t live with you
How can I go on with you if you have a damn thorn in your thigh?
Why don’t you go to the dermatologist and have that removed?
You gave yourself away and you still expect me to be with you?
That’s insane.
And then on top of that and your thorn in your thigh
You tied my hands up like a silly S&M director
I couldn’t win
You always lost
It was kind of like a tie, like my hands.
You thorny whore!
Go back for some more!

harth, being silly
Winter Footsteps
It’s impossible
That in the coldness
I feel separated
Yet hot
Feeling hot
The warmth transferred
By my quiet footsteps
I left in the snow
I trailed along
Thinking of her
And where we were
And how I got there
I penetrated my thoughts
To think about the spring
In this winter town
This complex winter
Song
Making angels in the snow
With her
Making with her
In the snow
In our nude
It’s about time
To go around
Sing with joy
Of new desire
I think it’s warm
The snow is melting
Uncovering me
Follow my footsteps
Where they lead
And where they have gone

Would, Could, Should
I would have kissed your lips
If I could
I would have explored your sensual navel
If I could
I would have nibbled on your sexy ears
If I could
I would have sucked on your nipples
If I could
I would have shown you the beauty all around us
If I could
I would have walked hours around the sights
If I could
I would have shown you the midnight sunrise
If I could
I would have devoured the passion
If I could
I would have taken you down under
If I could
I would have poured my soul into you
If I could
I would have lit warm candles
If I could
I would have been with you
If I could
I would have held you
If i could
Should I have?

Womyn
I know I’m a martyr
With huge concrete walls
Grid steel plates
And outward planks
I’m Lucifer
I bring you hell
Open up my mind
And look under my eyelids
What do you see, scurrying along?
Controlling my thoughts
Entering and exiting
My existence?
Lift me up
See all the womyn
Turning my gears
Using cement to tear down a wall
The chisel stays aside
The hammer stays aside
The womyn climb and fall
The men scale and break their necks
It’s a fort that cannot be told
A prison that I’m forever trapped in
Even though
I wish to dance every dance with you
Take my chains off
Watch my muscles be pulled by the womyn
I want to make (edited) with you
In the midnight sun
My head spins
Full of womyn
And artistry men
Fathers and ghosts
And long last brothers
Climbing water towers
Until I dive
Off
Crying alone
Beauty lives within
Secret lies
And plains for buffalos to roam
Burning inside

Washed Away
My girlfriend passed away
Just two years ago
To this very same day
As I stood there
It was just after dusk
About 8:30pm as I stood on the beach at Grape Bay
In the lighted darkness
I watched the moonshine ripple
On the waves that rolled
Upon the sandy shore in front of me
Slowly the waves washed away
The set of footprints
Left over by two lovers walking by
Behind me in the tropical bush
I heard the orchestra of tree frogs
Chanting songs of harmony
I stood there
Staring out into the ocean
Thinking about her
With a stick I found on the beach
I carved her name into the grainy sand
And with stick in hand, I stood
Forever at the gleaming full moon
And the light patterns it reflected
On the deep ocean darkness
Stars came out and clouds passed by
Determined to the end
Until the tide moved near
And the waves washed her name away
Sometimes I thought I could hear
Her name being called
By the chirping of the frogs
But all it was, was my memory
I stared at the calmness
The few waves which broke
On the sand
The few that rolled
I stared
I thought about
Walking straight into the moonlight
That was reflected
On the ocean’s surface
To surrender to my pain
And to be with her forever
As I would be welcomed by the sea
And finally
The waves came crawling
And washed her name away
I walked away
Into the darkness

Waiting
I’m waiting for the sun to burst
I’m waiting for the line to end
I’m waiting for the train
I’m waiting for her
For love
For she
I’m waiting for togetherness
Peace & Beauty
I’m waiting for the song to end
For my pain to halt
I’m waiting for art to show
On gallery walls
I’m waiting for the hunted
I’m waiting for my prey
I’m waiting for the food to cook
I’m waiting to bury my father with a puzzle
I’m waiting to kneel down in front
Holding hands
I’m waiting to caress her skin
To hold her hand
And lay upon her chest
I’m waiting for the sign
To Walk or Don’t Walk
I’m waiting for the rain
To pour and wash my tears away
I’m waiting to help the helpless
The sick, the dying, the dead
I’m waiting for the year
I’m waiting very long
I’m waiting for the optimization
I’m waiting for the tour
I’m waiting for the day
And for the tap
I’m waiting for the dream
And the memory
The shared time
And the first dinner
I’m waiting for the night
And the scent
I’m waiting for the sight
And the touch
I’m waiting forever
Until realism is defined
Until moments are defined
Until I am pinned
Into my corner of make-believe
And truth.

Wine
With you
Going down
Caressing your every curve
Bend
Tender
Soft skin
I slide
My soapy hands
Guiding them down
Your slender silky body
I remember your kindness
Your devotion
Your lust you shared
I remember our desire
Your heart
Your eyes
As you stand beside me
In our shower
With hot water dripping down
Our souls exchanging
Our hands rubbing
Feeling
I stand behind you
Grasping your breasts
Your stiff nipples
Kissing the back of your neck
Your warm neck
Sliding my fingers through your hair
Wetness all around
Suds between
I pour
The wine
Red wine down your back
In your hair
Candlelit shown
The wine pours down
Between your ass cheeks
And on my cock
Across your breasts
And down your stomach
In the depths of your cute navel
And further down
Deep inside
Your wet pussy lips
Inside your warmth
The sex we shall have
Water all around
Red wine shared
Passion explored
In our steamy shower
As my cock rubs up against your ass
A tingle between your legs
I kiss you from behind
And give you poetry with my hands
My touch
My thrust
I give

Waiting For Love
People tell me I shouldn’t look
That I should wait
That love will come to me
Let me tell you -
For I have waited
My patience is a daily vitamin
And a drug I deliver outwards
I wait all day
For the sunshine to set
Because I know the next day
I will wait no longer
I wake up each day
Thinking a lot
It hurts so much
That I handcuff my thoughts
To pully systems of rust and thorns
That I shoot myself daily
With pains of starving children
And abused and tortured
Souls from heaven
I wait
I do not seek
I wait for its arrival
I calmly sit
By lakes and skyscrapers
Upon breezes and fireflies
And upon decks and concourses
I wait.
I wait for a prophet
Or an angel
I wait for a sign
but never look.
All I can do
Is wait.

Wish
I sit here
Listening to the music
As the heavens above open up
The clear skies engulf me
Overwhelm me with powerful humor
And calmness from the heart
I wait here
For her to come
To follow the song
Dance with me
Upon the decks of love
And grounds of diamonds
She is there
I see her standing in the distance
She comes to me slowly
I have waited years
Now she is coming
The shadows are fading
The trees no longer casting
The sun is beating
And there she is; gleaming
I sit here
Waiting all my life
And I will wait until you come
To dance with me

Words
The words they are bothering me.
I’m afraid of them
They invade my privacy
Watch me as I touch myself
As I think like you and become you
As I favor your scent
and forever I remember your gaze
They define me
My ass as an American
A freedom giver
Blow-job receptor
I beg with them
To let me go
But they put me in shackles
bound me to the walls
as wicked ones rape me of my daydreams
She sucked the daylights
Out from underneath my bloody arse
and all I have to say
is
“Out damn word! Out damn word!”

Wonder
Sheets of white
Glorious tones
Brown on the bed
Black in the shower
Going down the drain
That forward water
Soap turned hard
Out from the cold
A heating touch
Remember that call
Healed wound
And a pounding heart
Embrace
Heat exchanged
Tongue twisted
Late hour
Over cover
Talk up noon
Tea time
Midnight moon
Howling wonder
Out from under
Beneath stars
Chance of
Strawberry massage
Scented room
Bottle top
Cry no more
Painted picture
Poetry read
Delay of
Secrets shared
A wonder what
Dressed in black
A lifted eyebrow
And an ear left to fall
