she cuts the sleeping pill

Silence of Stars
seashell the illuminated song murdered
rogered more times over the radio birds tweeting
dreaming away from the border night bats
red October the foxtrot of a passing wind
ascending slowly the wet mist & whose hand
grieving mosquito dead too, dead too
spring awakening the rumours of red horizon invading the privacy of the night silence of stars
74
75
“culture”
the homunculus springs up with seven words
a motorcycle as it starts to consider a question
the unlucky youths who built the space elevator
which body part is the moon tonight
76
Taking Out the Trash
painkillers working
the night breeze outside
my door
wind chimes
taking out the trash
slowly
wind chimes/crickets
trash in hand I wonder
which cliché to choose
pain in my knees
cricket song
carries me
no story . . .
just the night breeze
on my bare arms
before moonrise
heat lightning
in the east
now a failed haiku
because my pain wants a mention
with moondark and crickets
77
barely galactic
milky way your granny was born on earth
where no goober has gone before they send uss
behind the ion thruster an admiral snickers
pregnant butterfingers wait to see Bones
mars bar a roman kisses a humot then eats him
78
79
within the beehive
within the beehive buffalo love
troubadours collect melodies within the beehive
within the beehive the weaver’s constellations
the sweet and the sour within the beehive
no exchange rate within the beehive
vanquished prairies within the beehive
mirrored within the beehive the original
deployed before the beehive a god’s quiver
evermore the beehive’s Solomon
