trivial search for lyrics,

“it’s world war three”-

swearing battle mimics

and -“the black man is free.”

there is no dusk to be

and no dawn that was,

there is no ‘w’ in the language

only now and the grass.

 

sorrow matters...

they’re murmuring

“swipe to the left”,

another life for the taking

greatness comes in short corpus.

swipe to the left,

the east was born west.

follow the equator,

beckoning ultrarumpus

sorrow matters...

 

add that to your personal dictionary,

lifted famous letter with neologisms.

a pound for politics,

a man with no country,

a leash cummings had on the laureate

that very few remember;

or even care to

with the devil in the details,

an idiom of real special property

caught in doubleness.

pores imbibe, delight in giddy contradictions,

nature must be overcome!

all life is linked in the flow of matter,

changing patterns seething

mud between toes,

branches run with veins,

rivers ocean of blood in the oldest software

casting biochemical tape

in algorithmic origin of life

upon oxbow nape.

 

 

 

rotate the rete

to your mark of beauty

caught with an astrolabe

of developing shades

launched across a strong back,

align it to the brown star

forever beside dark moss secrets,

a celestial chart that guides our way

to beauty where you now dwell.

all must seek passageway through the rete,

hell through marrow and cell.

 

empty greetings

from an oyster green bryophyte

landscaped on the planisphere.

peer through omniscient eye of salts

shake the dividing lines,

periscope down perfection

blued between faults.

when you left you took my eyes,

now how will i cry?

lost in the great sins of nations,

images of metadata,

myths in statistics,

even a pulitzer can disappear off the internet.

lost sorrow found in gauzy anodyne experience,

humanities evil reaper came for their leader.

on broken waves white foam slips,

glistening emerald colonies fade

cast out on sweet uplifted lips

just to die on the vine,

we live without knowing, in cruelty

except for the music

and this muse can be caustic.

rolling on the sand,

please find those lyrics.

 

sorrow matters...

walking in the light

at ease in the shadow,

our identity survives floating

in silks of moral character.

forget the memory... it is kinetic sculpture.

form collapses, shadows pull down,

silk threads burn melting on canvas,

sorrow matters...

 

true self is only morality!

defining character,

locks of hair in a silver porphyry

a disambiguation drips of mercury.

our kiss of intense pulse,

all that can be saved!

smooth and velvety

as the backs of bees,

the responsibility of love

equals the grief.

monarchs feast on a diet of time,

drip waters from milkweed

turning dark honey from the sun,

bees murmur

exiled from the hive.

snap! snap! the beats grow weak,

transmuting the sun.

 

walk through the mountain door

from taurus to the black sea,

runfire scatters past chimneys

climbing from the floor

before frost’s white face,

lustrous but sunless,

hears the signal horns

beckoning ultrarumpus.

 

cranium domes hang on

conceptual threads,

swaying in the noosphere of deliverance.

red silks

blow on invisible winds,

bees forget their dance

lost in the trees,

breathable droplets

blow mind from mineral deposits,

dark honey of social anxiety

destroys us,

waiting in the night

for moral anxiety to improves us.

before the bees die off

and bugs spin on their backs,

fall into the mine.

where rumors swirl and seasons scoff.

all who go do not return

but you must understand death never was.

you are too much mine... and flesh of me!

in the peering brain old ghosts seal the pain,

a chin gesture approves

gasps this breath of gain

and dwells within your charity.

setting in the west,

flowers vanish

a half unwelcomed guest

in this new winter of sunset.

 

ashen grey or gray,

controls the paralysis

lucid does not come cheap,

forgetting the day.

reading a strangeness in my mind,

calmed with a drink of boza,

oh, sweet surrender!

solitude!

now grab the hand of fate,

search for soul and a city.

the bees got busy

changing the dance,

the flowers in the cave,

everything, honeycombed.

subtle, not always what it seems,

sorrow matters... pulling matter from dreams.

 

rumbles, flyovers, far off

dark acoustic shadowing,

report supersonic skyquake.

took in the atmosphere, the tree indicates catena

of impenetrability

headless gods

on mount nemrut. now they no longer shake hands,

their feasts were turned into mourning,

mirth into lamentation.

statues sing and hiss, deeply

engraved whistle on brass compass

flows in the direction of time

to the queen of the mountain.

beckoning ultrarumpus!

 

no why, just here! know why?

here to love thy neighbor!

here to report no claim, ethical or otherwise.

don’t pull it to warm bosom,

kick it down the bloodstream

bring it to the knee,

but the marble is no longer cold

so all you get is a cursory genuflection

before this altar of premises. add a conclusion,

consider it an argument,

question the logic

beckoning ultrarumpus!

 

terrorized air traveler, take off your shoes

in a mandatory genuflection,

before sacredly being flung skyward

across time zones.

time to think of love, laughter, and sorrow.

in a turkish word huzun,

oh, the melancholy when you finish a good book.

horseshoes are in the air,

reality is reality one can’t resist

let things flow

swipe to the left,

captured under right thumb

palms pressed together in prayer.

 

two stars kiss,

divide like cells.

one planet eats rock,

and the seed vault returns seed

for a new season in the land of war.

man really must colonize quick

space between lines,

where musk ruminates

turns red quick.

 

forget the lyric,

who wrote that song?

man, oh man, the complex!

butterflies in my stomach,

get down on your knees,

genuflection before ultrarumpus!
