dry crust
yellow earth
smoke for air
what about water
our fluid thirst
life's liquid worth
does anybody
truly care
an anxious stare
could be worse
skin could burn
lose our hair
radio-active surely
war's daring intercourse
taking us there
caring is worthy
so what choice
yet out there
bewitched water
twitching atmosphere
wretched acrid air
testament endearing
basic intentional ways
fiendish humans
surely tainted
elevated revelance
dry earth
sigh sigh sigh
acid air
doubt doubt doubt
refrain from fainting
what drought brings
deserted flustered crust
maybe then again
lustful hurricanes
notorious category five
mega-cyclone floods
infernal mega-storms
burning acid rain
return to desert
more mega-drought
tasking droning AI
mad money
phony trust
Mars honey
masking total loss
crude iniquitous fiefdoms
inventing phone things
what is left
restrictive freedom
rude liquid
inglorious fluid jive
what could remain
should anything
still be alive
this crusted earth
yellow smoky air
what jello water
is truly worth
pumpjack levers
our basic thirst
seems manic petroleum
remains ridiculously clever
firstly just panic
how much
should plastic
even try
dreaming colder
reality ever hotter
could we ever
dream resolve
a perfect touch
clear clean water
clean clear air
should we
ever truly
resolve to care
distilling things
what daring
truly matters
climate change
corruption splitting hairs
economic distillation
corrupt institution brings
spitting mad hatters
dystopian things
earth's fluid harmony
air and water
charter of rights
populations scattered
civil freedom
all hope shattered

I remember
your touch
holding you
oh that
delicious rush
I remember
just how
I felt
how we
could suddenly
melt together
I would
truly feel
yearning passion
your love 
your burning
downunder fashion
I thought
we should
would last
die together
not fall
so far
tragically apart
badly hurting
I'm still
sadly crashing
I thought
our love
was real
we weren't
just flirting
all that
magic time
dreams about
enigmatic rhymes
how things
could have
should have
lovingly been
but this
inverted ocean
overtly vast
keeping us
covertly far
impossibly apart
I thought
we'd launch
compassionately together
stand by
on Mars
staring out
staunch there
love reflecting
far off
distant earth
resist shouting
calling out
love's game
insistent doubt
blaming me
you can
name me
for failing
true love
for sailing
across oceans
far away
wondering how
I'd ever
really find
my way
somehow back
to you
pondering now
rendered notions
stretched across
tragically sketched
wretched time
lasting oceans
painfully etched
as endings
often go
rendered sketchy
that need
we have
to remember
so truly
do we
surely know
if we
newly remember
love's touch
how much
we resembled
perfect love
just how
we trembled
so much
remember everything
hurtful love
our dismembered
disabled love
dying embers
cold ash
sadly remember
our love burning
our mad fire
our living love
our mad desire

        * * * 

 

I keep
telling myself
don't panic
I'm not
on fire
though life
I know
real flames
some things
needily incinerated
void things
not very
far away
I keep
poking myself
demanding things
provoking those
other games
giving in
that shack
I am
living in
deriving moments
also ran
I keep
reminding myself
equating manic
with every
dire fire
leaving nothing
except ash
giving nothing
except crashing
beyond loathing
brash dreams
igniting flames
beneath boasting
trash games
panic mostly
with each
flaming train

push that old

transcend vanity

somewhat closer
to vain insanity
reserving shouts
wanting to be
just somewhere
needing really
to explicitly pee

rusty plumbing
flustered crying
crusty depravity
censured prying
got to run

that stoic moment
when bliss comes
such heroic glory
when heaven arrives
blazing stardust falls
God's brazen light
something extra blessed
everything discernably perfect
hearing heaven calling
determinably everything
 absolutely right
fifty thousand
eons ago
just yesterday
I suppose
that iconic moment
when bliss came
such pacific glory
when heaven arrived
applauding drums
hunter gatherers
lauding tribal stories
living nomadic life
season matters
hunting food
building hearth
gathering fuel
stardust falls
guilding home
nurturing fire
everything blessed
seeking perfection
day nodding into night
God's divine sight
heartbeats calling
continuing into what
drum beats agree
what we continue
that same thing forever
what we endlessly see
continuing enthronement
in these prononimal
you and we
phenomenal moments
hunter gatherers
us and them
those that are slaves
those that are free

this current
