MATTERS OF MATTERS OF CHANCE

Revolutions in the myth
The concupiscent urge
To think along the axis

Of thinking tired rake
Apostrophe in the atonic
Manner of trees

One thing’s for certain
The “x” asserted
On hand represents

The wish awash
With fantasy’s
Error

Can’t be scolded
For wanting
These collections

Appearing
In windows
Before me.

SOME BLIND WISHING GONE ASTRAY

Some stray dogs think
Some blink
Some worry and some
Will die with-
Out remembering even.

THE MUSIC OF CREATING ATTRACTIONS

Looking at the planets ourselves in place
Vast we were intransigent echoes
Such walls as these the wires too close
Mirror to send the cup of water
Low-key urge un-err in time
News from day surrounds the figure
Keep your hands at sides and kiss
Lest the age untell the murmur
With the best the worst incursion.


**

Undone issue-based factory-whip
“Only a child” on the brink
Of freak encounter with

Cause-and-effect

Intimate tricks
Pattern links
In brain and why
The blueprint of

Numbers.

Dead left for
Claim hope
Musical topple
Life on screen.
