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

75

76

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

“culture”

77

painkillers working the night breeze outside my door

wind chimes/crickets trash in hand I wonder which cliché to choose

no story . . . just the night breeze on my bare arms

now a failed haiku because my pain wants a mention with moondark and crickets

wind chimes taking out the trash slowly

pain in my knees cricket song carries me

before moonrise heat lightning in the east

Taking Out the Trash

78

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

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
