awake

i am awake     in house 
                        in how how 
its here to beeing letters      combine 
                                            convulse 
                                            columbine 
                        in verse 
                        inverse of vert of very veritas.

i am a wake     in time there'll be a wake an uncle asking if 
i'm alert an 
i'm not good at this at this 
i wish 
i had another.

i am                 in wake 
                        in water ironed by boat. 
i am up and feeling free. 
i am awake and smooth sailed but chop ahead a head there 

when said alie


When said alive, 
                  a lie,
                  a lock, 
                  a lot
                  a rock formation. 
                             Fly and 
                             form 
                  a         field of 
                             flowers, 
                             field of daffodils and craggy cliff

A beat is hidden softly in these words
which written look like letters on a page
but breathe and growl and howl when said. When said

little river
still  river

little river
still  rivering

still  rev
        revivering

still  rivering
little river

little river
little rider
        reviver
        Revere

little rider
still

Prayer in Iambic


O, Come thee, hand of Death, and wash from me
This stain of thinking. Purge the grime and rust,
The grease and filth of my still body. Come,

You monster! Free me from my own dependence,
And take from me the thought that a thought matters,

And free me from the notion that this means.
O, Death, please take, please hand of Death remove
This love for something that does not exist.

And yes, I know the hand I call is mine.
And yes, these fingers clack the instrument
Of my destruction, washed with brown and fear
And sentiment. I know I've given life

To that which shall consume me
