silence means noiseless.
noiseless is when
an empty room duplicates
out of boredom and
isolation.
a quiet home at the center
of the universe rests coiled,
cold,
an enormous room inside an enormous room
with a roof and digital hearth.
a quiet room is soaked in oil
so it may burn and keep warm.
we light the fires knowing that
flame isn't part a part of sound but
of light, which we're blind to.
the silent home floats in outerspace
and duplicates into a charcoal frame,
our company for the evening.
Haji Baba is a
THEIF blessed with the gift of
song. He plays GUITAR totally CRAZY.
He like DRUGS and HAMBURGERS and
mcdonald's apple pies and BEER and
STEALING and swordfights and fellatio.
He loves his MOTHER and father and
his dark mistress Cloe.
He parks in the
handicapped zones ALL THE TIME and he
DOESN"T give a FUCK.
He's just a real badass
like a MEDIEVAL KNIGHT almost but
with ROCK AND ROLL instead of DRAGONS/SWORDS AND SO ON.
HE LIKES TO EAT LOTS OF CANDY AND DRINK COFFEE UNTIL
HIS HEAD BUZZES AND FALLS OFF AND HE NAILS It BACK ON
AND USES THE BLOOD TO PAINT PORTRAITS OF HIS
ILLEGITEMATE DUAGHTERS.

her songs, the lullaby in her belly,
holding your pulse in a net of strings, kissing
the corner of your eye, a cloud of cream, the solar cycle,
breathes on you a solar cycle, a thin band of gold,
every atom of air and matter like cold smoke.
silver strings wrap you in cotton like a broken limb,
silver strings of the movement of her clothes,
silver strings in the blush of moments,
past and present glowing. a thin band of gold
that wraps all the way around your chest,
cool against a very hot heart. you breathe for years and years,
a living soul; you notice a flask of lightning, a coiled moment,
knowledge weeping out of you in c
Your eyes walk in file towards an open door that's spilled with light over the carpet and hidden with the vines and leaves, because memory does that, adds color and excusable human absurdity. Inside is the heavy iron box:
your nowhere blanket,
your book filled with blood,
your pulsing blue hearts,
your sundress,
the magic medallions, speech bubbles,
coins, the ribbons,
the collection of bright yellow clouds.
None are real anymore, of course.
They scratched off and became the soil under the tree, when you were hiding your face through the branch seeing people with smiles too heavy for their spines, and their pink skulls shook with the
A miserable tale indeed
My face like strange fingers
cool to the touch
sterile like little holes in everything
I am delusional
I melt out into streets
In my memory
I know her as a motion
the notion of everything
the movement of birds or the sun
the speed of atomic fission
a gushing moment of matte velvet skin
flourescent ephemera
She is a heavy cup filled with blood floating
not three inches from the back of my head following
She comes and goes in spilled flashes of wine
flowing out and above the bare walls of my city
A gigantic curtain of blood-like skin
She spreads her naked back out
like cloth over the sky
Her shoulde
She moves her head along with the music, and maybe her feet too. It's hard to tell since her image is filtered by smoke and the lighting is so dim. White light on white sheets over white skin. So fragile, like dirty children sleeping on benches, almost worth saving. Lying around her on the bed there are some objects I can distinguish: cd cases, book, ashtray. Ashes, like she needed any more in her life, any more consumption. An ashtray and a plastic bag full of weed. Of course she's stoned, that's nothing new. It's been some time since I've last seen her this peaceful though, maybe it's because she doesn't know I'm here. The first time we got
We hunted for days without rest.
When we were thirsty,
we drank whiskey from the rivers.
And when we started to miss home,
we built a new one out of sticks
and mud.
The deer were our friends and our neighbors,
but sometimes we ate them
because we had to.
When I wanted to be alone
you were gone for days.
But I could always find you
behind a cloud or a star,
waiting for me
to miss you.
When we finally caught our prey,
we devoured it and left nothing
but bones
and gristle.
We rode home on the backs of crows
and stayed in bed
until the next season.

Haven't been writing or even doodling for a long while. Want to but can never push myself to stop thinking enough to do it. Not that I'm busy. Just dispersed.
Glad fall is here, in any case. I miss having to cover myself when I go outside.
