already been said

by other pessimists

YESTERDAY; ANYTIME

moons travelled backwards, inwards, hid, forgot
bodies stretched backwards, inwards, hid, forgot
caravans continued backwards, inwards, hid, forgot
faces grew everywhere, on everything, sang and spat
mouths formed everywhere, on everything, sang and spat

moons

faced down in puddles, under rocks

stay in the glass
there is nothing

outside

except
abandoned glass

HEARTS # 7

conceptual heart


this heart is invisible/and I give it to you
all I want
is for you/to throw it
and write a letter of apology
to the person or country
where it lands



HEART # 6

hearts never know
said ringo starr of the beatles
knowing, something
that used to be secret
before ringo starr knew

HEART # 5

hearts were in style/when I was young/you could
take one/you could take one/hearts were in abundance/
when I was young/looking out of windows/judging/
like hearts do/other hearts/heartily/and the other
hearts/looking back/from across the street/you
could pick a fight/you could pick a fight/with hearts/
when I was young/and the heart would win/and
another heart would win/hearts were in abundance/
when I was young/they would fall out/from sixth floor
windows/and land accomplished/on the roofs of
expensive cars/shouting bloody hallelujah/if
they could/hearts/when I was young

HEART #4

fictitious heart


I've had hearts/ believe in hearts/ I've had hearts/ believe in hearts
I heard hearts singing/ I heard hearts singing/ in the aloe vera grove
with jupiter voices/ jupiter voices/ hearts coagulating/ rotting

can this heart be a little more festering/ can it be a little more rat-like
can this heart be judged/ or obscured/ ridiculed by passions
condemned/ unheard/ tried/ in the aloe vera grove
moon/ moon/ sky/ jupiter/ rabbit/ turtle/ fox
fox voices breaking/ fox aeterna/ fox populi

I've had hearts/ believe in hearts

HEART # 2

jungles collapse
in star systems

in tiny universes
collapsed
in minds
collapsed
in hearts
collapsed

HEART # 1

what holds on to your heart
what holds on to your idea of your heart
what snake

ERASE

what sun

ERASE

pan cakes
deep desert skies
what

ERASE

huge choppers flied in
from outer space
what space

ERASE

heart

ERASE
