Wave 02:33
i saw her drifting in the wind thirty feet off the ground lifted silently, it seems, by an essence of sound no attention to her feet, nor the possible fall speaking nothing, nonetheless she picks up my signal (wave) though acknowledged, still her face turns toward the beyond the expression there reveals not one thought of alarm so the minutes stretch to days, still receding from our view as the year compiles the weeks, and the glimpses become few (inside the wave, like before)

Sans Angelo 06:18
in my headlamps casting dim island light in nighttime's grip between lines from there to here hours of a careful gaze at the edge of blackened space alone in my deafening dome as the markers streak on by and the signs are ignored, i tunnel through the desert night to the entrance place and time: brightened pinpoint in my sight, wasted city at my back i heard the siren call deep in the nowhere of my home ignored by all but me its threat so obvious and scorned thus through the dusty haze of windblown sand and fear i rode with no refrain straight out far away

observing in the darkened corner with others dancing through their lives that easy, simple love so unheard of this crowded hall of vacant lovers swirling together in the night bleeds in a silence through walls of her room and in a lonely bed tomorrow the afternoon will pass her by 'til the first sign of dark unfolds afar "what is the curve that disrupts your sight to make me so invisible to you? what is the secret between the lines that barricade the remnants of my love? and who can be trusted if the mirror lies to show me only what i want to see?" curse! cursed! oh the rain it brings but so free to sing

been watching the cycles ignore the score conversion solaced, all wet and reborn facial dours unreplaced dogmatic prison lies at the gate submerging the color straight to the core a train of reversion fracturing hordes impossible interface clear as the crystal never to blame planted with seedy and shedding allure as stench of the barkeep wafts through the boors liquid shadows following days end of the circle living in sane ////// a dawning midnight collapses noon scattering the sun's every ray within the empty this unlit view cries in the black to replace a thousand moments alone, its true fleeing the tongue of the snake and so begins my travelogue: 'Transition Life on the Brink'

we finally asked of what we saw the puzzle secret of its thought perhaps a fragment or a seed what are the odds and could it be? no divided by zero

in dusty relics of the human breed he settled in beneath a chosen screen near-seamless living, rigid destiny mirage the friend and doubt the enemy but through foggy two-way glass universe from first to last dropped the flames of starlight seed never locked, obviously upward his vision shifted once to see eternal faithless rapture ecstasy lifting from the shaky ground and collecting all around with those not acknowledging soon shed accordingly "i say this overwhelming hypnotic facade is simply the final beastly trick to sabotage my very soul... no!" grasping rising never looking down
9.
in current flows through past below here as i sing mountains moving shifting of land opened at last but from the breach uncertainty cowering it gives vapid uplift negative soul unwelcome home polish of shit grey paint on brick drying the seeds covering unique

between the bulwarks holding on through the freeze, fast-collapsing relations and underhand besiege secured in the hardened arch a white engulfing frame abstract forever home where only i can stay mesmerizing fallacies consort behind the walls along with blitzkriegers, enablers and pawns they murmur asking frequently the secret in the stream my lips move to tell you, voicing silently unassuming grey model electric chaos cloud whose current fills the empty space so quietly, so loud obvious with single touch feel it trapped within? how i wish to feel it flow, conducting through my skin here lies a sequencing unsheathed at the core massless and invisible nonetheless explored over the surface but immersed in the sea i'd love to show you eyes closed please . . . wake deprived in sleeping hours (inside unseen) parsing decades in the tower (examining) observing my burden state (aligned above still planted feet) frozen before future curve (resigned and reigned) in the fog of dull terror (safely in same) every/anything, so vague (loudness the slow and rising gain) foolish laugh concealing sound (fluttering flaws) of disorder upside-down (combating all) cluttering each lucid page (casualties counted on the wall) in stout barriers of mind (realizing fate) sprawling endlessly confined (almost too late) compromising what remains (to slowly open the unlocked gate...)
