I lost myself in a sea of stars
stumbling cold whispers
scuttling to the river's edge
laying back I opened the crack of my throat
to slake the thirst unquenchable
The rocks and fishes jumped in ecstacy
landing like jumbled hatpins on the lap of possibility
To the drop, I left that river dry
Wheeling in drunken frenzy
I troubled every passing stranger
Darting eyes would find another focus
when I gazed upon their shores
My mumbling was the beggers truth
There are no ears to light this candle
smoking and buffeted, I went whirling
assuming the sky, raking in clouds
I dazzled planets within their orbits
Until finally, I slept.

Re: I went out drinking last night
Mon, December 6, 2004 - 11:39 AMi woke up this morning
a new man
i went out drinking last night
with my love
i went out drinking last night
blinded by jealousy
i went out drinking last night
with another
i went out drinking last night
as i fell to the ground
i went out drinking last night
lipstick stains marked my soul
i went out drinking last night
i fell for the illusion of sex's gain
i went out drinking last night
revealed the reality of love's loss
i went out drinking last night
abandoned at an intersection
i went out drinking last night
and lost my mind
i went out drinking last night
guns drawn and sirens blarring
i went out drinking last night
and found myself in chains
i went out drinking last night
'where's my love?'
i went out drinking last night
and lost my mind
i went out drinking last night
and woke up homeless
i went out.
drinking.
last night.
i woke up this morning
a new man

Mon, December 27, 2004 - 6:01 PMMy mumbling was the beggar's truth;
he clapped his hands in the distance, capering...
As I sit in silence on the blue-dark beach
the same nerve vibrates in our broken teeth;
My mumbling is the beggar's truth, he says.
The sea taps its fingers in a broken line
at my feet. My toes twine with it, white on white.
He claps his hands in the distance, capering
on wet feet. He sobs for joy and laughs for grief
because I spoke his ramblings in my sleep.
My mumbling is the beggar's truth. Our heads
knock together against the hard-packed sand,
filling our eyes with stars till we go blind.
(He claps his hands in the distance, capering.)
He claps my hands in the distance, capering.
My mumbling is the beggar's truth...
Alive?
Or dead?
