Groundhog, I never fly away,
Into the earth, frantic I dig.
What for tomorrow,
What for today?

More dirt upon skin,
Claws upon a fist,
Fear is it never ends.
What for tomorrow?
What for today?

The world awaits,
Green to brown,
Brown to grey.

Take from me, hero:
I run off to the distant,
Chased by the snake.

Split lunch, near touch,
Dim bulbs, ringed dove.

Tired of the pressings,
In books for protection.

Heightened senses, high centrism,
Hybrid ethics, sighted, selfish.

Ringed dove, signed confession,
I wish love just lasted forever.

Dramatically, he captures folk,
What does it mean? Who knows?
More grenadine with alchohol,
Sweetness in a leather coat, 
Bitterness in a paper cup.

Dance steps, Alarms set,
Ten ten to ten to ten, 
Best friends, resume routine,
Best friends, concerts again.

Leg lift, foot stamp, deep bend,
Ten ten to ten to ten,
Ten ten to ten to ten,
Dreams about drumkits,
Twenty minutes of bliss,
Then again, sleep in my bed.

Blood on my hands,
On my shoulderblades,
Her hands, my blood.
Blood on her hands,
On my shoulderblades,
Less nine months.

This man I love,
This man I trust.
But he could kidnap my son,
So send him to god.

Growler, empower yourself.
Devour and use that tech,
Devourer, utterer of rrr,
Encounter, stout or sour. 

Prowler, of the prouder,
On all four, growling,
Looking at a round bottle. 

Wildflowers and spring's showers, 
Fountains boundless, 
Used as showers in the distance, 
Down the outer side runs a victimless,
Bounteous red liquid. 

Doubtless I drink it to no funk, 
Growler talk, 
Ploughman and his bottle bud. 

Outside the thousands talk, 
Inside the pit they growl and bark.

Orange, Black, Orange, Black,
The back of my tongue attacks the spoon.
Then soon, a numb washes from my palette,
More licorice, More orange, More, of that!
Tail of my Tiger, flailing limb of a cat,
Or mosaic of a war game, excited as that!

What is perfect and complete?
Delicacies, meat, cheese, 
The foodie speaks conquest and fantasy,
But a cancer progresses, spreads rapidly.
Tragedies of vanity, then agony,
Then bankruptcy, former life a dream.
Fantasies now of revenge, or mercy,
Meaning, offers of a promise of peace,
I can eat simple meals and still be.
Human being, like a clever machine.

Portend, ship,
Potato, chip.
I like my broker,
If he buys the dip.

Paper, mind racing;
April, outside rain;
Days, time, pain.
Trial, minor inheritance,
Inside raging, vain,
Water droplet pacing.

Lies, decadence,
Left in the sunset.
Am I adept?
Think, look back.
Flies in everything,
Trying anything,
I, tried everything.

Trial, cherry picking,
Many years,
Their meaning?
A small committee,
Press, briefings:
Ideas discrete,
Their leanings.

Where is the time for healing?

In the car, cutting corners,
Misnomer, or misfortune;
Of emotion, a disclosure
All I feel is the moment,
Brushing motion and smell of burning horses.

Of importance:
Kings and clowns,
With benefit of doubt,
One is better without.

Beauty, all its mystery,
Maybe this is all a dream,
Belief instinctively,
Anger, or misery,
Or is it grief within me?

Imagine living, symptom-free,
Imagine, breathing with relief,
Instead coughing and wheezing,
Sleeping with vivid dreams,
While sleeping in the street.

A body smeared with honey,
Head to feet, conceit,
Declared supreme,
Yet not even complete.

To write irate,
Like Ivy failed,
The time it takes,
Is flies to drakes.

Reveal beneath the cape, water,
Fantastic I can see the shape.
Father should I peel the grapes?
I only question the time it takes.

Coastal Landscapes, plum, and dates,
Noble Magnates, all things awake,
Ocean to space, 
Poems to plays,
Stone, earth and clay.
Snow, October to May, 
A local band still plays.

Trees of lime,
Dreams of life,
Hearts pleading:
Fields of rice,
Ears of a beast,
Bright green, to the eyes.

What is fleeting?
What is right?
What the audience likes,
What God would decide,
Like what is meat, What is me,
But I need to survive.

Should one be horrified of nothing?
Hook, shore, line, cheeks blushing,
Sorry I lack a lively career,
Goodbye, deary;
My life is lovely.

They say no rush,
Speak nothing of time and boxes;
Wishing they were ski jumping,
Even if it begets evil things.

One hundred years fishing.
Whether or not I am punished,
God, brother, life, iron will,
I watched the flowers flourish.
Like drumsticks desire a skin,
Find, then are tossed aside:
Tomorrow is unprovided,
Yet I will.

Last living lemming,
No house to live in,
No Chandeliers;
Next exhibit, Next exhibition, 
Spoke of past tense in English,
Fluent in other languages;

An Eccentric Mystic, 
Poetic Lyrics,
and their beginnings;
One carves caverns,
Of all manner of rock,
What matters of master?
The afterthought.

By the tendril, sunset felt,
Like weapons in my belt, 
Chemistry I can't question,
Clarity in my bedtimes.
So lovingly I make expressions,
Like, at weddings,
Desperate for marriage;

By the ending, a farewell.
