life (lennonium)

 who wishes to run

the midnight rain 

outside shakespeare street

those who wish


a thousand miracles

on every girl whose

kiss you miss by five

thousand furoughs


who often jumps 

the gun and feels

a million sins

for life not yet

begun


do you wish to see

then stare midnight down

into black ice and mist

return it all


to missed advice

posties late 

or dismissed secretary hearts

or latinate literate

assholes


like me

i called the heavens

left seven wee lordly

miniutes of which i bawled

became thinner for tears

wasted on calls i left

about twenty deaththreats

and extended boredom rants


oh look

a prince



2;the hailstones driven

cars for lightning 

illuminated cockerals

the reptilian farmer 

tuatara schools

with wide eyed garage martyrs


and ten guitars is always blasted

played and then relayed and taken

as gospel 



if hell recalls the ice

or flame or calm

or sting or wings

have burned like coal


if wives have taken seven 

feline lives and heaven lives

in chains while freedom quietly

slaves and is bound to hush apllause


the sticks of wicker 

pointed thorns in country land

can throw a shadow on such

a plain


as pain can sting and bells can ring 

for death

no more

is nothing left

to sing

since eliot

i think

a silence

is longer

then those thoughts



in fire nowe

dismaly absorbesd

in flesh much less

then black midnight 

guesses 

mid flight
