bids me speak (poem)
stupid ignorant poet fool
you
think you have the right to talk of God and Roast Beef?
have
you even begun to see the edge of the
shape of God?
you
are so dumb
while
your lips bleed because they are too dry
Jesus
Christ is bleeding the price of the world
humiliated
as a geek’s chicken
in
pain He calls you, promising Knowledge andRoast Beef
and
the Love of God, the Father we share with Him
i,
too, have no right to talk of God
yet
as
is His fashion
He
bids me speak

nightdream (a prose poem)
Nightdream
As she often does in the dark, Sarah sleeps beside my
turning mind. A wandering sketch of thought unearths salvation again. All my
worries shrink, shrink. I try to grab them, but now they are too small, not
even pinpoint stars. The sheets blankets pillowcases are only soft extensions
of the darkness, though the room is typically quite real. Like a drug user, I
am betrayed by the black terror of God’s eternity. My hands fly out for little
troubles (bill argument disappointment—anything) but they only find the ancient
braille at the edge. Open to the dark, my fingers feel for the first time words
they signed millennia ago. Back when we dreamed of coming to Earth, and smiled
straight back at our Father’s face.
Now, as if on cue, the
goddess stirs. Inlaid with fire skin and intoxicating human weight, she
descends upon me until I long to be in the presence of my family’s dead. I
wonder, if only vaguely, what I thought real life was supposed to be like. Her
eyes hair fingers transform from daily woman burdened to another part of me, a
holy piece. I become woman and man alone. Our walls—so humbly white and
bare—are the walls of a mansion, a palace, a temple. I know in the morning I
will return to ignorance, so now I let the words escape in even tones: I am this night a god, vested in the burning
gems of all future glory.

dark summers
our house begins at the front door
and ends at my late grandma's bed
the perfect moment always passes
like a tune out of our heads
but the song that we sing together
is one we have sung here before
i'm safe deep in the knowledge
it's one can sing once more
sarah do you remember
those summers so dark with our evil absurd?
the shadows of those days still sometimes pass over us
like the shadows of sick birds
but i have seen the future
even though it cannot be seen
it's sleeping right here beside me
dreaming the things you dream
i would say that i'm lucky
but i know those words aren't the best
i'm afraid i'd be ungrateful
if i didn't admit that i've been blessed
thinking about all the sunshine back then
makes me want to cry
thinking about all we lost back then
cause i refused...all we lost just cause i...
but don't say that we're lucky
i know those words aren't the best
i'm afraid we'd be ungrateful
if we didn't admit that i've been blessed
