Answers in the desert

Avoid the truth like a drinker avoids the morning mirror
Change the routine like dirty bedding
The day like a new neighborhood cafe
So casual, so meaningless
Its nothing at all, just a day

The days add up into a new ruling hegemony
The old world has slowly taken over the decay
Aliens have established and smashed the old relics
you’re nowhere to be found
Possibly an old femur, skull or medallion
buried under layers of forgotten civilizations
Uncovered, exposed like a fragrant song
like incense, a holy shroud
Crumbles into dust at my fingertips

If only you could last the final analysis
Not of books or mind, microscopes or even past experience
I destroyed the lab long ago and laid in the mess of it, dreaming
Solve all our problems while we rest
Answer me there with the old scrolls in the desert cave of a new day

Reoccurring Dream

Be comforted relearning forgotten languages
Burn your pride w/blushing shame
Having your tongue unable to form the most basic of sounds
Mind cloudy from foreign tongues
A walking tower of babbling confusion

Eventually the weight melts w/ the pride
All the impurities milled out
The remains are pure, child-like tears of silver

Reoccurring dream always traveling
Missed the train escalator on the right plane to London
Another plane, cruel players in the station
Familiar nocturnal neighborhoods
Upper middle class hills driving around their mazes
Is it my neighbor or me?
Is it my home or the one I’d like it to be?

Reoccurring life theme, freedom or settling
Travels and getting lost in between

That feeling near panic
Like when you child, lose your mother in a crowd of strangers
Miss the plane to dream destiny
I speak your language fluently in my dream
Sprinkle the pillow w/silver linings

The neighborhood caliph

The neighborhood caliph also rushes down the stairs
Throw out the week’s collective dregs
Catch the stench for a swift moment
Open kitchen cabinets share shared domestic treasures
Clutter of another resembles slightly
Intimate tight spaces, precious medicinal elixirs
Spoon feed me
I’m self- conscious and slightly uncomfortable
Being so closely observed from your throne
Wonder what thoughts flutter like cloud birds
Like reef fish swimming through your water born crown
As you watch me mother another

Our accumulative experience fails us
No one dare disturb the water
Like a meeting of sky and sea, brewing tempest
Start a small war
The youth in me grows restless for revolution
Tearing down walls of current rulers, craving chaos
Storms of electricity
Redistribute the wealth
Which part of me has been hording all the energy?

I was uber calm, cold like frosted morning windows
I can’t see anything
Cool my simmering underneath
These past years of mountain top hermitage taught me
All about the weather
Inner climate control calling blizzards in midsummer
Only a superior celestial force could best me
We all know you’re a prince
You’re about to learn I’m a covert sorceress.

Intergalactic otter

Heaven is in your company show me what you know
All the secrets I take it all in
Fill me up before we begin
Born under the cauldron constellation
Star gazing of future sin

Let me linger longer under your sun
Stir warm my winter blood, stay a while
Waiting for you and losing heart to be bold
Detach sitting so close
Like a campfire quickly stamped out in panic
A sacred ice lingam pilgrims risk their lives to see
Frozen pillar of cold penetrability
I fall at your feet fill my empty canteen
I left your cave unconvinced, let down by presumption
Numb I shun evening’s celebrations

If you can’t be mine I’ll avoid future conversations
So I boarded the crystal ship, laid on her slick cold floor
Weep for missed chance at bliss, loves first kiss
Deliver myself from feeling anything
More than willing to hand over my freedom, what I cherish
But you’ve no eye for a pure heart
Still you search and you’re only getting older

I sail away to other waters to admire
Not really marine nor land creature
Not really an earthling, an intergalactic otter finding pearls while I play
