EYES
with a twisting twist you stand me up so high, with a kissing kiss you make me realize in the sunburst threading through your winter eyes, and it's all dumb summer when i'm yawning blind, through the viewscreen static you remain unchanged, eidolic image burning out in heavy flame, and your eyes remain, slowest slow red winter burns me down to size, dead star squirming in and out in heaves and sighs, i flutter close & flutter fast this butterfly, with a kissing kiss you make realize, through the bluring blur you remain engaged, phantom image burning out in heavy flame, and your eyes remain

AS / SO
when change becomes the constant, fixed points cease to matter, when the future forces time, to conform to our distance, when truth kills cold our righteous indignation, applying force without any reservation, as inside, so expressed, as a lie, so repressed, as denied, so in jest, as alive, so in death, when there is no bad shape waiting, for the hole in your consciousness, there is no thought debating, in a pure cognizance, when there are no fossils for the bones of our uniqueness, we bow to the throes of our hallowed incompleteness, as inside, so expressed, as a lie, so repressed, as denied, so in jest, as alive, so in death, as within, so without, as with faith, so with doubt, as the end, so begin

WIDE AWAKE
i will rise over me again, no sunrise built on fault lines waiting like a landmine, facing faceless demons and the devils that will blind, wide awake, and wide eyed dreaming i am me again, the sun will rise over me again, the sun's alive once more i'm burning out to try, wide awake with sky and future, your hands in mine, no more sleeping cranes or herons waiting to take flight, wide awake with a sunrise in my mouth naming nameless words and aiming aimless routes, no more sleeping cranes or herons waiting to get out, wide awake, i will rise over me again i'm alive in the now again you know it's alright

DEATH RIDES A RAINBOW
death rides a rainbow, followers first, dividing the whole
stuck with a shadow burning both ends near, what seems like the light is only our fear, to kill the killer our conscience grows smaller, and the jackals and demons much taller, stuck with a sky that is grey and slanting, standard issue death is demanding, forgive us life when we’re dying, and open out to the final rising, death puts on the universe the earth for his feet, the stars for his shirt, you are other than whole and more than all, stick your diamond fingers through heavens vault, to extend the flames so clean and clear, to unknow the names regret and fear, through the sunglare, and it’s spun and spinning out your metal heart smeared in and inside out, with the emptiness of fading grace, a halo wraps around our shining face, with a sunset that is torn and tearing out, last thing we see before the closing down, in the avalanche of flashing lights, sweating bullets through the gun that’s pulled up tight, in the reflection where time is moving slow, we see that death rides a rainbow

MONARCH
We will turn over and over, till the change, it is made complete, and we will fall or fly, the veil is so thin, we’re changing daydream shapes from without to within, if i were able to fly, i would leave this body behind, all the thoughts stick in my mind, they vanish with space and time, through the light we will find our way, like a moth flies to the moon, we are drawn, to the waiting flame, that’s burning, out within, all our daydream shapes, here and now, this is where we change, we’re turning, if i were able to fly, i would leave this body behind, all the thoughts stick in my mind, they vanish with space and time, through the light we will find our way, now i am able to fly, and i leave this body behind, no thoughts stick in my mind, i vanish with space and time

EGGS ON EQUATORS
every moment is reflecting, every second is connecting, every hand of time is an eggshell, every song is sung so well, eggs on equators, wilt like a landslide, stars shake and whine, through electric time, every inside out is a reason, to put yr hands up, and watch the emptiness grow, every devil divine is a kiss-off, to watch the smile fade, watch it fade away, eggs on equators, truth is a sunstring, stars drop like fire, on the wire, eggs on equators, drop like a diamond, fire in the ocean, fire on the line, every wolf that waits is an eggshell, i said come on, come on outside, the waiting wolves are all gone now, i said come on, come on outside, eggs on equators, truth is a wet nurse, fire like a diamond, moves through the sunburst, eggs on equators, stand like a handshake, fire in the ocean, ghosts on the lake
