jumping on highways.

I am jumping on highways/
And low waves/
Floating through the concave/
Stomach of her stick/
Figure body, melted/
Like lava on the ice/
Cube tray/ mirror
Mirror on the wall/
Won’t you turn/
Your back to me/
Face the reality/
Of those sunken cheeks/
So hollow/
Hollow readings/
Of the contemporary mind/
Over matter/
So burning/
Like salt over open wounds/
Go deep/
Into the pale water/
For/
Break the surface/
With tiny fingers/
Like doorways to an/
Unlawful act of/
Criminal thought and disbelief/
Soon they ring/
Wedding bells/
Echo off my eardrums/
Sound waves submerge/
Recollect the bits/
Memories forgotten/
Won’t be long/
Long to be aching/
Shards and shatters/
Sugar can dissolve/
Sorrows into pity/
Pity into love/
I am jumping on highways/
See problems down the road/
Crossing without use/
Headlights don’t blind/
But crash/
With warning/mistake
Will give you second chance/
If the shards don’t stab/
Black can’t see/
Sit back and relax/
Loop your mind/
And mix it up/
Don’t steal a glance/
Though/
It rarely turns right/
Pink and tender/
Don’t break your bones/
The flesh is gone/
Too widely spread/
Wings/
Winging the float/
Newsread can’t be/
Too small to dissolve/
Miraculous laughter/
Vibrates through the box/
Empty but full/
Self humored/
Words that don’t match/
Clarity of consciousness/
But he wants it/
Me/
To get high/
Above the 7^th sky/
With the blaze/and
Pixie dust/
Lost in the puff/
Us is we/
Together, resurface/
Me to we/
Distance can gather/
The time in folds/
Of her skirt too long/
Shallow curves/
Describe the leaving/
Of certainty/
Outside its burning cold/
Disturb to notice/
The finality/
Of the moment/
Gone like/
The future of tomorrow/
Joint is waiting/
Sitting unlighted/
See how he picks his battles
With that broken point/
Finger touch/
Stubble can’t reach/
The growth of the artist/
Curtains close/before
The end of the story/
Leave behind/
And open ending/
Dream it liquid/
Fire won’t burn it then/
Its always a risk/
But/
It’s never/too
Dangerous to wink/
At the stranger/
On the subway/
The ring is taken/
Out of love/
Out of curiosity/
Too big to fill/
Without the comfort of conviction/
Return on one knee/
Bow to the king/
Jesus can’t behold/
The ball keeps rolling/
The tip won’t sway/
In favour/
Jury holds/
The decision afore/
Waiting/listening
Eyes don’t show/
Won’t give away the secret/
But listen/
To the fingertips/
Tapping on shallow breaths/
Of nightmares unfazed/
Denial too big/can’t
Consume the air/
Beads and shine/
Sweat in pores/
Around the neck/
Of that skinless/
Truth/
I want to hear/
Scream the lie/
But proofread first/
It won’t be clear/
So don’t jump to high/
But then/
Silence prevails/
Above the tensions/
On the rope/
And he screams so mute/
Gone is the day/
When she would care to listen/
Blanket over blanket/
Won’t protect you from the night anymore/
Rats infest/
Rocks blunt the earth/
May you be/
So I can be/
Mayhem, so lost/
Love over/love over/
1:19 AM,
Pointless to start/
without the end/
because you can’t see that far/
and your money isn’t/
isn’t/
as good as mine/
just don’t look/
me right in the eye/
scared of confrontation/
avoid fists/
more than
than the cure/
the disease is calling/
to the otherside/
of the space/
that fills the smell/
of that cinnamon bun/
but the flight/
is the equilibrium/
so tip the jar/
the shilling will fall/
the open glasshouse/
its letting in too much/
to breathe in time/
to consume without inflation/
sad is over me/
under the influence/
the words just flow/
it’s like/
I am on a role/
To dynasty/
To empress/
Injuns can run/
But no need to/
Colloquial speech won’t do for today/
As if I knew/
The righteous lord/
Half sleeves won’t do/
The stranger’s waiting/
Lurking/
In tainted water/
For tainted thirst/
Cold water/
Just doesn’t keep/
The heavy lids from falling/
Must then not waste/
The being of time/
To reject my calling/
And face tomorrow/
Without purpose to pursue/
The law/
The class/
Dogs don’t drool over/
Yesterday’s scraps/
Bleed then die/
If not for soul/
What if you never/
Needed to lie down/
To just rest a bit/
Never were tired/
As you are today/
It’s not like they keep you/
In a locked up cell/
But breaking free/
Is hard to do/
When all you’ve got/
Is freedom/
The stripes/
Don’t faze/
They round up your figure/
But red is invisible/
Those claws can’t pierce.
Appeal your signs/
Vitality won’t bind you/
Is it that late already/
Silence is all you’ve got now/
The music won’t help/
So sleep/
Sleep/
On the highways/
And low waves.
