rolling dice
spades and
black horses
threes and fives
palming crystals
and a prayer
lopsided scales
earth quakes
waving at me
and a hole
in my pocket
a little piece
of black
sleepless nights
twist my fingers
he cut my hair
and soon
he will die
I wonder where
the cross dressers
will get their
wigs curled
for saturday
talent night
gambling and
tossing bones
rolling dice
tumbling
on green felt
that luck runs from
I step on a crack
palming crystals
and a prayer
inside this world
what is this?
Sliding under my skin
some kind of drug
transmitting shivers
I drink
sipping flavors of places
I've yet travelled
Giving thought to ocean floors
and timeless distance
Singing songs behind the
dark face of a Moon
and the burning Suns cheek
curved up inside a grin
Jumbled cables erasing space
extend in passages
of creations need
I walk drunkenly
on waves of sand
tripping on flavors
dancing with an oceans floor
feeling small
inside this world
like a message
drifting at sea
scratching the groove
it's hard to find
the edge
dots in straight lines
and curves
spin like record discs
black and skipping time
repeating cries
dull needles
scratching the groove
of yesterdays tune
todays song
plays on your mind
turning craziness
into a smile
and for a moment
the edge
catches you
tossing an easiness
but soon
the dull needle
scratches the groove
and yesterdays tune
spins the same rhyme
yesterdays trash
pinks and greens
spinning magic
lips dipped red
and the planet turns
on one
giant conversation
many ears
detect truth
in guessing
what lies
behind madness
on doors
numbered three
I leave my trash
outside
like you do
I have no secrets
in back lanes
where sanity
is explored
at the end
of a stick
the curious
view the mystery
of my mind
the planet spins
on one
giant conversation
as crazy as
my lips
dipped in wine
