Incomplete high rap stuff
High, my name is, as a kite, Cody is.
Don't slip or trip on the box elder bugs
that slurp up the sludge seepin' out your feet,
like you're sweating Smuckers, purple,
out your sneakers, sans the nut butter.
Bit the bun, but don't be beatin' the bread
you knead, kneelin' on bubble wrap
and bending needles with your but cheeks.
Check it, while Charlie chirps a chorus in
the chappel, Chuck is cackling there in the
backroom, butt fuckin' loud enough to
smell it in the foyer.
Denying Sirens
Sirens may lament when we don't consent
To lose our will to their woeful, wishful wooing;
But if incline our ears, we'll crumble straight to dust.
All our space for pleasure, our capacity for joy
will be filled to the stretching point,
and will fall bagged and limp in a jaded heap.
Our curiosity and motivation will melt and slip
through our clutching fingers like soaped quicksilver.
We'll be forced to live without fuel for interest,
move without heart to pump and pull up our muscles
to animate our atrophying limbs.
Those days they barely do, we'll lumber aimlessly
with our senses cemented shut, bashing through the streets
like bull or falling boulders, numb and dumb as
rock hard carcasses, good as their tomb of dirt.
We'll fall into the pit of the yawning gap
the siren's song rang full in us like a gong inflating
a circus tent, until the persistence of the resonance
dissolved the poles that held it up.
Like a black hole we'll lose the light of the
outside world, and turn inside to empty spaces
where our lips, ever sucking, come up dry and dusty,
our straining eyes at a loss for any luster.
We'll hiss right into nothing, be rust and cobwebs
on the doorknob to nowhere, a whisper of "was"
with an echo of "never."

Ineffability
Oh, Life
Only the subtle swing will hit you.
How you evade the pin of description,
deftly dodging the jab of words.
To but the yielding you reveal
the flowing roll of your chaste breast,
your Mona Lisa grin
beneath my nose.

Treeclimb
Pine like a flea for flesh,
Flag for our limbs to mesh,
Friction fries to death
We, who fear of feeling left

Symmetrying
As a crooning caress, a tranquil touch,
a nudge splitting wide what couldn’t be budged:
pry free the frills of my fragile, latent bloom;
crack dawn for the flame that aims to reach noon
an adroitly shaped mold wiggling an ethereal groove,
dignified, humble, profoundly accepting of mood.
ignited in spirit, voracious in mind
a placid tempest; a benign land mine
laughing up time like life eats light,
whole as the day that’s a part of the night
simple as mud, but one and aware of the multitude, myriad things,
wide as the ocean; astringently crisp and mineral rich
as the skin cleaving mist it brings
loyal as the tide that pursues the eschewing coast.
with Eden’s love, and Heaven’s might
draws courage to deny the bottomless ego’s boast,
careful with words, and watchful of the way she weaves the world inside
the quirky twitch in her nose is my sagacious will’s captor
as a storm rumbling through in an undulating rapture,
for her to fill form, to soak what I see,
I must turn around, and reflect her in me

i saw it in their backyard
so light as an Eidolon,
a beast with a torso like fire trembles;
a ribbon flailing in the gale,
a contortionist; scalp touching spine.
a beast with a torso like fire trembles;
a ribbon flailing in the gale,
a contortionist; scalp touching spine.
