The Big Beesy

Get your feet licked. 
The ground’s covered 
In balcony dripped 
Saliva. 

Framed in potholes,
Your neon apparitions 
Await you. 

Enter the honeycomb 
To a melt of music; 
Here they charge you 
For deafness.

Old faces across the wall 
Sweat an elixir of gas. 
You molecule you dance 
In a hive on the drift.

The queen, she croons.

Atop Summer's Smokestack

Hanging hair plays on thermals;
You sit pretty, you pretty,

Like the earth's tethered child
Cast on a solar flare's hook.

The sun she lies beneath you,
And you tip your hat of stars.

Shoes slip off your dangled feet;
Einstein and Icarus smile.

I Am

I am a sleeper;
Cresting waves of futures,
Falling into pits of the past.
Grasping at the brass ring;
My fingers turn to smoke,
My eyes close.
My eyes open;
The night yields before me,
I slowly stand up.

I am a runner;
My lungs create fire,
My breath becomes ice.
The Earth shakes;
Continents shift underfoot,
The seas churn.
My ambitions soar;
Will becomes wings,
Wings become desire.

I am a fighter;
Fists made of dirt,
Blood pours like milk.
Heart beat quickens;
Thrust is parried,
Riposte then press.
Two figures embrace;
The battle has ended,
Passion creates desire.

I am a lover;
Sweat glistens on skin,
The pupil dilates.
Fingers grope frantically;
There is no other moment,
There is no other time.
Embrace eternity;
Fill your mind with lights,
Slip off into the nether.

I am a dreamer.
