I’m reading Saint Genet, Jean-Paul Satre’s biography of Jean Genet—although calling it a ‘biography’ is a stretch. So far, it’s more of an existentialist analysis of Genet than anything. I wrote because I was a poet I write in order to be a poet I become the object others use to condemn me to their perceptions [...]
A bizarre little dream from last night. It dropped from the sky and slid along the empty road like a silo filled with blue, blue, and nothing but blue inside and out a surplus angel When the flash crept into my peripheral vision I dropped to the grass closed my eyes and waited for the [...]
Warm enough to sit out on the deck this afternoon. The sunlight on my eyelids is warm I see red and it’s like being reunited with every piece of art I’ve ever loved My feet feel the breeze and feel jealous that my eyes get all the attention (30 March 2019) Wishes sometimes have consequences [...]
Somehow, despite an unexpectedly hectic day, I found the wherewithal to turn a rather ordinary poem of lunar imagery into something…well, less ordinary, anyway.

Some of the things I was noticing as I was writing… The curtain is off his visage is now on full display in all its dysentery-stained, diseased-fruit fascist malfeasance The tilt into hell is remembered with nostalgia and reverence of otherworldly things drawn without outlines She looks like she’s bending forward and backward at the [...]
Sometimes you have to go with the music… In the middle of this isolation… I want to be smothered buried surrounded by the warm the damp the scent the sweat fulfilling the dream she once told me about The touch— smooth rough sliding pressing against my skin a familiar taste forever locked in here commanding [...]
I wonder about myself sometimes… Thirty percent to Lichtenstein and a fantasy I never allowed myself What will they call the place when I get there?

A poem about something really ordinary… Chuck it all? Start fresh? To build a new flame you need fuel and something flammable What’s here won’t light a damn thing Not for what they’re asking (22 March 2019—posted March 23rd) I have books available.
