Everything happens so much


                                            

i am often overwhelmed by a vast number of strong and rooted things i cant think logically, i cant have hopes and build with some stability, everything happens so much.
and they pile one over the other, a simultaneous ever occurrence of chaotic things, and a vast and achingly empty tyrant silence, everything happens so much. 
and i stand here and the ways with which to ease, to scrap up some bits of hardly found calmness are so unlikely, so unconventional, so repulsive and disliked, this is not the way i was told it happens, should happen. everything happens so much.

and so a day begins or ends and the infinitesimal and enormous things in-between both concrete, visible and just scattered in the air. things happen that you know of and that you never will but they both happen so often, as massively and congruently and consecutively in an outpour manner, everything happens so much.
all i will ever do or be or hope to do or be is just a human form of open arms as thing  fall upon me.

Bitter Dancer

you are just a figure
and you say a few lovely things
and there is a lingering possibility between us
and we can both sense this lurking little lizard
swim in the plain of air amongst
our flickering bodies
we try to catch it
or kill it
or some fucking thing.
it is unbearable to feel.


and we come to question
what within us
is really fo significance
what is true and tragic
and mendable and useable
and what
is dear to the heart
only because
it lives within it
it is hard
very hard to live with the dancing maybe
that tiptoes on our chests




when we are tiered of it all
tiered of meeting and trying and greeting
and thinking and reading
and writing and building
and sailing
and marching forth like there is a ground
and a journey
and a destination
like we are not
floating in the space of emptiness
everyone choose to look away from


i would like that little lizard
to grown into a bridge
between my little chest and yours
the maybe can tiptoe no more

another one


i am tiered.
what if i sleep
will i write a poem when i wake up?
i'l probably wake up too late
and go to college
and laugh with my friends
hear something interesting or two
contemplate
sit with all my weight
on the nudging
knocking
darkness.
go home
as the car drives closer
the weight i put peals it's self
i watch it unravel
take over
spend all day
trying to fit it in the 
tight knit dress 
of a poem
get tiered
really
fucking
tired
and go to sleep.

its a tiny little flame
it's a tiny little flicker
it fades and fades.

Metal arch.

interpretation of fleet foxes's meadowlark:

Metal arch, fly away down.
i hold a cornucopia in the golden crown
for you to wear upon your fleeting frown.
 a metal arch cling to me.

Hummingbird, just let me die.
inside the broken ovals of your olive eyes.
I do believe you gave it your best cry.
A hummingbird, sing to me.

my hummingbird. sing to me.
I dont believe a word
that i have heard.
little children laughing
at the boys and girls
the metal arch singing
 to you each and everyday
the arch light on the hillside
 they mock it and pray.

concrete


all things
flip and flop
and come and
disappear
and their fading still clinched
bits clung
in mid air
ache me
furiously

blue spotted tail

to write a poem
because
 it is
apparently
significant.
it may be merely
more manifestation
of
the
'human ego'
you desperately try to leave some
waste
a stain
like it is annihilating
audacious
of the earth to
naturally
 go on
after your departure.

but i too go on
and i let out a poem
because
just because i am aware
it is the doing of an ego
doesnt mean i wont be inclined
to sucumb
and so i exhale into the medium of space
around me
and try to catch one of the
left over
flaying little thoughts
and emotions


i try to dress her
into something
subtly attractive
the oozing starched old
washed out sky blue
polka dot dress i like
the beloved
so all those around would stop
to hear the breath that has come out of me
i
hideously
find this breath
especially precious
it has inhabited my chest

a breath i
in truth
inhaled
from the frightened
exhausted
quiet
exhale of some other




but right now
and
this isnt sad
or tragic
this isnt a loss
of any sort
it is just
there isnt
any distinguised breath to hold.
i have breathed consequtivly
massively
into nothingness
there isnt something to catch
and trap
in a the remnants of a dress
and say
her is my poem
here is my poetry.
i remain as i am
lovely
in theory.
but clenched and uncomfortable
and
unpleasant
to see.

while his wife is reading, he sits to think:


maybe the fact
that i wake up longing to die
is evolution.
maybe this global necessity to
inhale and
throw your self
off a bridge
is an implanted
sorrow
by the crept in roots of
natural selection.
because the earth is heavy with man
and man made
stuff 
frilly and scattered
on it's burrid surfaces
no longer do
the plastids of chlorophyl
burst
the earth 
enraged
punches within you
death
you grow
heavy with lament
let go of your body
decay and decompose
into stuff of
the ground
little bits of 
damp
dirt
less you
less man
more earth
and stability
and homeostasis.
evolution. 


things like
'global quiet grace
and peaceful stillness'
is almost built
on cruelty.
