angels & devils (for joe mcphee 4/20/08)

the seaming up/ward horizon (e)vent
uni > lateral displacement
spine-like hands on moldedness
jammin' frugality (cramful)
"our prayer" so sparse
a river goin'home old men with their heads
in hands attended caught here
full uncluttered generosities
screeching cohesions bowstrummed
soft/hard communion
a blending of: outside the frame
awash among the curve-linear thumbprints
spears & splintered wheels
shadows ruthlessly pinned to the wall
(sp{l}uttered)
the devil/angel thing fused by
tenderness
by harshness creating unsurpassed beauty
drunk on an aging civilization & its
promises
these definitely shifting stories
trio augmented > up)pe(d by
violin(t) voiced
high pitch

ah witch whichness ah here with the
merciful dispensation
of ressurection's inquisition
(one altered to another)
this true MASS - early
on between plaques of prescribed solutions
all these swirving saints
who can't tell their sainthood from their mistakes

touched &
tactile - the fingers figure out the language
how to
leave their imprints on the elements

( ele/mental table )
one impression of a deeper
groove as wed would leave its dwelling place
&
travel all the "roots" & "roads"

"to find the spirit."

gray

water freezes my voice
my voice a device in a fool's house
no - i say halflit
like a disapperaing souvenir
a portrait of a madman
a lutist
a hunter & a
fool

the critic sees only the bulb that explodes
inside his head
a sort of blindsighted view of the skin
between clock & bed
where artist's wives sleep
swept away by dreams of wealth, space, gallerists
& other women's hearts
don't be so critical i tell myself
all they have are their lives
& what there is left of them
(to them)
my untitled thoughts hang like coats in air
race like a warm winter day
turning evening
trace themselves as if crossing an unnamed bridge
at the origin of the world
within their own geometries & author(ship)

i call to the grave
& the grave answers
a periscope in a lagoon
a liar bitten by alphabets
smothered socks in an overcrowded drawer
my thoughts
landscapes with no animals
left in them

maps
numbers
flags
all add up to this:
a body of feelings that has lost
its memory.

coda:

he has fattened after
the hunt
a rush hour train
is not a good place to be holding
a flower
in.

every moment


I go inside to see what’s there, a brightly lighted
place of ordered landscapes colorful and precise in
the music also filling everything as if a motion
in the air a hum of thumps and whistles and deep
tones of function and rhyme fill me with my self

I lean across a fence to see into the deeper realms
of my body’s functioning permissions to be alive
with excitement and balance from all the centers
where love resides at the heart’s center a bright

sign flourishes out into the richly flavored vista
I’m given to see in this moment of entry into a
realm I’d always thought private and mysterious
now I see I’m welcome here and want to stay alive

tom taylor

healing friends

they arrive in droves of magnificent chariots alive
with the fire of life itself singing their songs of love
and healing while I drift upwards into the lighted air
floating on the cushions themselves as they arise &

cling as winds blowing from their various distances
in harmony with the noises from the heart beating
bumpety bump along the freight rail holdings from
day to day repeating in the solemnity of what passes

for the new day arriving inside time with your name
on the face of love to the final fusion taking place in
your own being as the seeker and the beloved become
one in each other climbing aside into the lighted sphere

tom taylor

unconditional love

washes my laundry every second wave forms
flowing forward always forward gluing the
cosmos into its constituent one and done at
the heavier hours floated upward like no noise

but the song of plenty flowering inside your being
as the room fills with light and carries you outward
along the new highway love’s final journey into self
remits no pressure but allows the fusion of opposites

fire-matter of the world’s body and sign emanating
from everywhere all at once being one that comes
& makes in the silence of collection the glow of
its permanent nature in life for the rest of all days
