revelation
4am or one hour before the
beginning of the end of time
and i feel a sad dream falling
slowly through dimly lit trees like
petals of white papers with black
words touching innocent sheets
on the line in the shadows between
truth and deception, good and bad
melting into an aged rain that
bathes the grass at dawn with
the spit of shallow weeds and
medicated repetition as the
so[u]l[e]s of my shoes become the
legs of my jeans and the day/i
surface[s] gasping for air and light
5am another inch of time creeps out
of fragments of broken monuments to
step forward into fragile enlightenment
trembling under fresh green skies
orange horizons fall eternally backward
into silver ribbons of sun awake
6am sweep the patio clean,
lie to the earth, swallow the spaces
stop chasing citrus thoughts with
bittersweet aftertastes and just
gather up all the blue lemons,
add happiness, stir, and
make some lemonade.

i miss
i miss making her smile, dancing on her toes, sharing a meal. i miss late night journies, hot showers together. i miss holding her until she fell asleep, waking up to her music. i miss her touch, feeling safe in her arms. i miss her voice, her eyes, the way she made me feel. i miss her hands, her laugh, her stomach, her stubbornness. i miss the way my heart would pound when she walked in the room. i miss being in love with my best friend.
there is something about her that makes the spaces of my heart seem insufficient.
but she must know this: that i am neither gullible nor blind.
i know what she did, and i know who she did it with.
so what really is there to miss?

Reflections
Reflections
i am trying to understand how your heart operates. it is a remarkable machine, hurriedly competing over scarce resources, including, but not limited to, love by way of lust.
you are devoid of power, devoid of control, snatching it wherever you find it unguarded. and this stands as a barrier to your ability to participate in love.
you live life with a suspect heart that is manifested in a dramaturgic analysis of love within love.
and you can come, and come, and come to the same conclusions as i:
this is no longer [about] love.
this is not [about] humanity.
this is anthropology.
this is science.
the solution to your love[less] life is:
a redemption of the infrastructure of your heart as it is operating from finite resources, including but not limited to physically and emotionally violent men.
it is volcanic, an eruption for disaster.
it has turned your heart blue, then olive, gray, orange, then cold, steel.
my obsession with your machination proved to be detrimental to my survival, you see. i found little truth on which to live in your mechanical metal heart and so died. but not before seeing a reflection in the mirror of its hardened walls.
yes. you, and i, we were real. but my time as your tortured heart has become exhausted, outmoded.
and as you read the cold disconnect of my words, i am sure that you feel me in a way that you never felt me before. you won’t feel me again.

CUT
cut
my eyes are red from the inside out from the way my brain is crying
they are lodged like a smoke clogged traffic jam in my throat
i can feel the poison, invisible as it is, creep into my lungs
a cold monoxide of frozen blue/black preying on the warmth of heart
i wish i could cremate my heart and jump start it with the fuel of ashes
blow the black flakes everywhere and make it snow with fire
i want to escape these veins, these millions of capillaries which
soak my essence like a sponge, a vampire of foaming hexagons that
hold hostage my blood, the compassion that is my greatest pain
i want it out, this feel[th]ing someone has left in me
maybe just another sigh, another cough just to
blow my soul out like a forest through the eye of a needle
i am distracted throughout the day
i keep forgetting that i am supposed to talk, walk
and let the electricity run courses through my circuits
turn off, turn around, or turn the corner
i only wanted to fill my spaces with birds and trees,
flowers and butterflies that would sing me lullabies
and cradle me like the only baby doll in the world
instead i am coming close to roaming where the
periods mingle with the question marks
she cut me.

FREYMAN'S INTEGRAL PATHWAY--revised
freyman’s integral pathway (p,q) = e-1/4 (p+q2)S[(q+ip)/ 2]/ n!
it is the incoherent super-position
of different integral faiths that
destructively interferes with the
language of quantum mechanics
often one encounters integrals
where the exponent is not purely quadratic
from the outset but rather contains
both quadratic and linear pieces
to prove this identity
eliminate the linear term
the constant factor scales a-z
yet quantum mechanics remains
fully present and flexible
[we] insert position and momentum
respectively making use of
the clear rationale behind
the resolution of vector identity
quantum particles have more freedom
than their classic counterparts
all the information about any
autonomous quantum particles
is contained within the matrix
of elements of its time evolution operator
the time evolution operator
describes this dynamic evolution
under the influence of
Hamiltonian time
H = T + V or H = E + R
where R is a positive definite
real symmetric n-dimensional matrix
and V is a real vector diagonalized by
orthogonal transformation into
E, a mono-kinetic Euclidean
as the matrix elements express
amplitude for a particle to
propagate between points
it becomes the propagator
of harmonic oscillation
in the matrix of elements
the discrete set becomes dense
over time and space becomes
a continuous curve
this smooth variation of paths
contributes significantly toward
the motivation and the application
of a limit [less] continuum
proving that u and i may be
independent complex numbers that
need not be related by the
simple conjugation of coherent states and paths integral
only by love.

that can speak to you
the part of me
that you want
that seems to know who i am
the part of me
that will challenge who i was
that who that i will become
the part of me
that i can be proud of
that i want to be yours
that part of me
that
wants
you
love,

dear r,
you found me
the part of me
that i know little about
that can speak to you
the part of me
that you want
that seems to know who i am
the part of me
that will challenge who i was
that who that i will become
the part of me
that i can be proud of
that i want to be yours
that part of me
that
wants
you
love,

self portrait # 8: asymptote
stack of books
six editions thick
resting on each shoulder blade
weight the pressure
grey damp road
thick white centered line
marking the margins of expectations
balance attributes accordingly charged
baking light
fire from red dust everywhere
causes eyes to cast inward
the heat of fever encapsulates
weak failing medium
un-utilized calculator
living five feet from the ground
drawn in lines of asyptotes

self portrait # 7: and
and she’s beautiful
and she’s unsettling
and she writes in big words
and she dots i’s and crosses t’s
and she doesn’t want to be touched by just anyone
and she doesn’t want to be seen
and she wants
to be adored
to be idolized
to be felt
to be heard
to be loved intimately
andandandand
and she is writing
and she is living
and she is dying
and she is
and
she
is
and that
is
all
