this issue
so hugely
very big
we just
ever fully
can't imagine
this brush
every stroke
paint bigger
more horrific
boundless picture
haunt larger
this is
profound God
but then
God is
not talk
to us
no words
only clouds
is God
I wonder 
what God
divinely thinks
does God
choose sides
what God
if us
set God
on fire
who would
blame God
or something
nature neighbour
other imaginings
blaming someone
dream people
over there
well blame
all those
brain washed
Gozer demons 
other people
living in
your stormy
upset midst
those ones
you choose 
to hate
those folk
merely trying
just survive
when you
find flames
wearing yourself
exotic fire
just wonder
how you 
will feel
shall God
just applaud
maybe hell
you're flawed
tell God
holy damn
don't give
maybe God
laughing inside
preservation hell
laughing mouth
volcanic consecration
fiery laughing
see me
this laughing
human tissue 
seeing you
rotten laughing
stinking issue
God coughing
rancid stew

I watched
yet another
youtube video
more Vancouver
something Hastings
gentler brother
yore somewhere
before this
brutal other
litter strewn
core city
cruel time
more ruins
sorry story
blinding sidewalks
right here
bitter sirens
right there
jittered environs
minding people
living sirens
lying prostrate
splayed out
try cement
pavement mattress
lost everywhere
occupying drugland
half bent
nuclear thugland
waist down
some stand
living nowhere
rude found
powerful descent
hopeless frowns
what crown
what dreams
right here
ever dreamt
oddly even
some where
over there
I thought
I saw
Jesus staring
or maybe
cross bearing
Elijah being
some how
even there
each alleyway
who cares
teaching hunger
lost bearings
reaching wonder
took me
pointing yonder
maybe Moses
will appear
surely plant
willing seeds
watering desert
dissolving fear
filling needs
walk streets
resolving greed
share fashion
caring compassion
poke us
stoned right
many storied
curb life
tempting Pilate
show up
tempest stick
stormy sea
temptation appears
tragic life
no redemption
that drowning
being here
no exemption
actual fear
just surviving
rapture this
being clear
enraptured bliss
created here

when you get up
start your morning
I hope you can run
bad men are coming
did you remember
take your morning pill
prescribed by law
not what you will
bad people are coming
all those things they kill
isn't it stunning
but still get up
start your morning
I hope you can run
bad things are coming
by this afternoon
if you've run far enough
something to think about
how durable and tough
how far can you run
outlaws are coming
lock your doors
shutter your windows
hide in your cellar
grasp personal items
food you can share
those few things
that are dear
grab what you can
cuz relentless
bad is already
senselessly here

so that
we end
your thoughts
about it
you know
which ones
what about
in time
it's something
about it
breaking open
my heart
bleeding emotion
charged particles
juggling thought
emitting intention
something lost
all those
other dreams
inner actually
nothing gained
can love
things factual
truly be
somehow sustained
what about
blue emotion
something felt
nothing tamed
maybe lightning
will strike
burn holes
into me
what about
tough love
that end
conflagration game
you know
which one
flaming hearts
you know
bleeding tones
that incinerating
burning end
where everything
just ash
lies cold
seems dark
dreams can't
it seems 
ever mend
love's magic
forever lost
so this
our plastic
drastic love
somehow left
you cursed
spatial trends
never truly
special love
this tragic
interspatial end
my lost
artificial friend
you marshal
beautiful cold
your heart
ruefully told
your soul
tarnished gold
frittered love
into this
our fractured
sunrise sunset
sorrowful end

       * * * 

 

we are
walking dead
growing warts
dander dreads
missing teeth
zombie heads
we are
so stoned
one disaster
irreversibly prone
all together
mostly deaf
whether indivisible
sunrise surprise
nearly blind
instrumental weather
sunset cries
boastfully dithered
raging ageless
phenom clown
critique disguise
old town
oblique stages
pitiful guise
new city
incidental lines
but once
when we
somehow lived
far beyond
this novel
impossible rave
before this
improbable grave
impassible AI
somehow stole
what was
universal role
creative living
universally driven
somehow this
audiotronic moaning
everything given
droning heads'
unabbreviated AI
everything invasive
irretrievable time

         * * * 

 

did you ask
to be born
or was it 
simply chance
some luck
or divine 
novel intention
what about
those stars
aligned with heaven
maybe then
we'll find 
an answer
to what
we are
where we
have been
how now
existence intact
birth contracts
signed sealed
then delivered
not luck
or chance
but relevance
with nature
answering God
as every
divine creature
rephrases glory
storied reprise
something intervention
so conception
more over
natural connection
ovulated egg
resolvent sperm
divinity's natural
living invitation
be that
sacred interpretation
crowded jungle
or desert thirst
this newborn
universal inclination
soulful spirit
seeking something
further education
being something
so lastly asking
while we
are born
is this
sacred soul
revelated first
or is 
birth alone
spirit's consolation

          * * * 

 

what's left 
besides waves
relevant moments
demanding fear
what remains
besides tides
incredible moments
seeing clear
forever went
slamming doors
eternal came
wanting more
closed eyes
being here
clasped hands 
devotee cries
what's left
besides grains
troubled sand
washed up
bloodied gore
what's next
mixing mortar
thick slurry
cement dreams
into bloody
unfurled torture
remorseful scenes
ingesting mercury
beyond that
medicinal themes
what's next
God's will
dreaming creation
something beautiful
divine invitation
beyond human
universal stasis
relevated terrestrial
savoury illumination
what's left
beyond that
celestial communication
what's left
tsunami waves
surging tides
beyond that
human madness
what's left
past this
human sadness
