In the dim yellow light across from the train station
milleniums of contemplation
sat the old man stroking his beard
telling god to speak more slowly
In the dim yellow light of another millenium
all manner of travel
every concept of a path
racing toward some finish line
The old man's aunts and uncles
chewing the fat sipping the decade's tea
just outside of his place railside
as happy as these sickly sweet southern summer christmases
outdated in their clothes gestures smiles and even step
stained by a sun that never existed
he smiled out toward them
the backwards children about to be given a new life
Linoleum and plastic thread all up and down the walls
a free space outside his tidy sunlit cabin
infront of the tracks
The center of spirituality was never inside a church
nor a temple for you rule obsessed prunes
No the real flow of god exists in the symbolism of railway tracks
Everything that moves is angelic he said
on his third or fourth life
hundreds of years ahead of me
laughing in weeks as I do in minutes or mere seconds
Making his way to the central station there
funny how no trains were running
and every passenger desperately sprinted to where they were going long ago
and more countable in earth years
nodding at the mountain
nodding at the flats
Father watch these steps
father watch these steps

A station some find

sight
The soul is blue white burst
traveling through the center of the house
calling the mind and the fear
eyes form into the ghost beam
As thick and energetic as lightening
that soulfire from the eyes of the gone
setting my mind to see
eternal mistakes
glaring out from one end
pulse emerging from the face
flashing waves of blue white light
My lack of power
My hunger to beat it
it's huge aura
soul of the house
of ages past
river of force
where is my shield

City of the bomb
all reactive ingredient sum
last straw is drawn
Nations arm bomb and gun
apocalypse dawn
diplomacy stunned
closing door
refugees run
from burning city shores
The drone wasps humm
weapons drawn
a million skulls numb
as new explosions are born

Purchase yourself
the ornate box half truths
sitting idly in front of eyes that might open it
proving a point that their predictions were right
corny fashion to follow with a few drops of enthusiasm
Your body lurches forward
your hand leaps toward the handle
desperation writes itself into your face
as the shopping cart slowly tips over the cliff
Back to the mall with you
borrow another thousand
a grain of you unsure
A beach convinced
Purchase your way into existance
Trade for all sugars and brands
that give some semblence of belonging
the desperation to connect
decorating yourself celebrating yourself
wearing an identity tag
credit card limit sour
A person unknown to themselves
obsessed with worthless treasure.
Gas time and glory
water bounces in a pool
Sunlight makes it a sea of mirrors
yellow bright characters lost in dance
prisms of boyant reflection
shimmering sheet rising and falling
like the sonolent chest of gods
That humidity sweeping across the awe on your face
Writing those lost greeting cards to all who've passed
The vigor in you is the quiver in the ripples
burning bright in the motion of waves
Streaming gold and wavering
looming falling overlapping
Light and water in strange union
both wet and lucid
Love drowned deep in that radiant sparkle
transitioning into form that we never were before

Protection from the world
insurance against miracles
take the stars and pluck them out
bullet proof face
helmet over ears
A full bag of life wrapped in kevlar
spray on the disinfectant
to avoid the inevitable mould
flesh use by date
microscopic enemy
The hearbeat of a tick

Shopping for sunshine
The world out there teeth and naked
armed with machine zero sums
break out of the shield for gains sake
all vulnerable and numb
Standing afront the sun
awaiting trial like an accused in denial
yet the sun doesn't speak and predictably
it just shines like old boy said
The world out there is an oversized supermarket
overfilled trolley with mouths that seem to complain
as the small wheels creek down those washed aisles
zero sum machines where you can stick your hand in
if you don't open your hand your wrist stays trapped
That claw reaching down open like trolley mouth
all legendary teeth and naked gums
the cigarette and gum could marry
blinding sun still coming down
OR from my world shooting up
The world so below in the mind
a choking jury waiting for the sun
the old boy shines out there smile hammering away
through a few trillion pounds of harsh powder karma
to move those creaky wheels with this skull
roads to thought and roads to feeling
as you put your fifty cent piece into the machine
glee dripping from those curled ears
the throat dries with washing in the sun
as it gets hung out there jury confusion
The client is so lost in a universe of unfulfilled desires
those seductive images rolling around on giant screens as he stands naked afore the light
quase worship yet full of want not unlike an unfed child
One that raises the solar flare against the shadow of the cattle
