Spiral Wizards

manic artists Nero'd their times
sculpted bigger things than human need;
from hot blood flames Divine madness

a man who dreams of being a God
is either condemned to death or
draws blood-lines in the sand

transcend and include ...

it's not enough to rise to the task
there is no shame, no war, no Empire
when its the duty of each citizen
to kill the Emperor

long live the Emperor who casts no shadow
no shadow is too long when the Sun shines highest

my noir apotheosis

my banal original
left ordinary impressions
on the surface of your eyes; stanzas you couldn't
get out of your mind playing carpe diem

you'd stalk memories romantically
while holding fast to recognized patterns;
you'd say anything with a cigarette 
hanging from your lip: tempus fugit

those wisps accent your spent look;
something frozen, dead winter,
caught by the Sun, melted, a haze of steam
rising nostalgically with redolent regret

spilling over to rise again


spilling over, falling back:
land-lost, sea-sick,

though I reach as tender tendrils to the shores,
to lay amongst the rock-gathered mussels,
anemones swelled with bile;

I roll spilling mercy into sands
quivering my sea to falling day,
shivering my waters at the edges;

my foam encrusted lips whimper sounds
of pearls ratt'ling last memories
of green algae and sea-kelp reaching;

to the imperious sky I wave the deepest
of darkest blue

where the red horizon drips
as blood from another days crown
to rise again as little pearls of dew...

emotion in the write way


some don't get the emotions, see them as cliche', while the root of the problem is the heart I must say -- where we begin in our Mother's water place, the beat of her life, made ours by grace -- the pedagogues 'n pip-squeaks don't get the emotion that leaks from the pen, as longing, as aching, as yearning in unbearable swells, again 'n again -- they've never birthed in bursting strife, their suffering 'n joy of life

we are the foam on the sea of reality, where the roiling of Natures longing takes us to the next wave of creation. We are a mutation and a momentary play on this thin organic film of symbiotic life on our inextricably intimately evolving Planet. We are this Planets thoughts and meaning. This Planet longs in swelling waves toward the Stars. From Stars we come to Stars we shall return. Look up! Dream Up! Love up! Burn!

writes of passage in the passion-fomenting each stroke of our pen, boils the words we've writ then ...

... cunning-less is the base of it: your juiced with over-flowed inspirations blissinging up yur' 'lectrikly sapient spine, making you feel an infinite-in, outwardly sublime

little-rat-eyes

'little-rat-eyes' squint so much that all they see is cliche' -- they've castigated 'n shit on the Poets here with never any wit to the crit that'd help them be clear -- so much odiousness in the reply, why? they sound like an over-educated baboon that cannot cry -- all poetry, good or bad, comes of genuine feeling -- so reviews should not be personal diatribes but plainly simple dialogues of what works or does not work in the context of the writing -- where Poetry is about healing the wounds that reason makes many odious 'I am writer' folks are making wounds on Poetry with their reasons -- doubt is their religion and bullying their secular sacrament -- often intelligence is mistaken for hierarchical desire monkey opinion, 'cause I'm smarter, better, more insightful and my writing is top form kinda thing -- darWINian at best -- from street gangs to bed rooms and forums the Alpha-fucker puts you down so sHe can be one up -- eGo for it is the why -- the arrogance of ignorance is the conceit that hides behind the averted fear that I'm not good enough to be here, so they regale you, that you won't be too, if they have anything to do, with it -- so they'll take a shit all over what you writ and you better like it 'cause they're the writeous crit -- laughing with other little-rat-eyes without wit

'little-rat-eyes' = literati and 'ill-little-rat-eyes' = illiterate -- it's funny how ignorance can show up in an Academic and failed high-school red-neck alike -- I suppose that arrogance is hubris and without distinction

the little-rat-eyes are speed-readers always looking for ways to fill the gap between their lips with knowledgeable sooth-sayings 'cause they've moved the word meaningfully without the sounds in their head -- Poets have gaps in their head where they merCuriously spill their words smoothly with surround-sound lips that never get stuck on having to know anything at all -- they inwordly lip-reciprocate in an astonished why-lessness that (disturbs meaning) de-means everything into a sudden swoon that turns the whirl'd 'round -- the poet is one who brings a fresh focus to the everyday, fresh eyes to the mundane, with music in the ecstasy of broke-back words in how they fly away off the page in particles 'n waves, with lip-synchronicity and all the meta-sensory expansions 'n contractions to constantly risk absurdity

the ill-little-rat-eyes cannot see beyond what's in-it for them and can they get laid -- otherwise it's the alliteration of the illiterate and we all know where the ill-little-rats go when they don't know, pressing the button on their glowering expectations and can't crit 'cause they don't have the wit for it, so they shoot it down with the number crunch, a petty solution, the knockout punch

with reading a write I imagine cunning-less at the base of it, being wet with over-flowed inspirations blissinging up yur' 'lectrikly sapient spine making you feel an infinite-in, outwardly sublime -- neither little-rats nor ill-little-rats can see, beyond their myopic certainty

Poetry is


Poetry is there where we are not so sure, there where the edges blur, there where we leak into each other, between the cracks in the words that we say, there where the light leaks out in a wondrous way ...

viscereality -- Ezra Pound extrapolated that, "Rhythm is form cut into TIME, as a design is determined by SPACE." or the temporal, therefore rhythmic, distribution of the elements of language -- the texture of expectations, satisfactions, disappointments, surprisals, which the sequence of syllables brings about -- the physiological link of rhythm to heart and lungs brings the reader into the Poem with that viscereality --

visceReality in the poem -- vortex prayers 'n fractal wishes, on the edge of an ancient-ache in time 'n space matters -- I've always loved the flowing stream through rock 'n root making many whirl'ds -- those vortices apparently whirl down to the atomic level thus stream-cleaning water of biological hazards -- sometimes I write from the rhythm not knowing the words but using a sort of shorthand where phrasings are place-holders of syllables -- as pointed out this often ends up illiterythmically inspired -- nevertheless, motion is what creates something from nothing; as Einstein mused when considering the beginning of the Multiverse, " something moved " -- as such words become 'dynamos' of rhythmic punctuation when musically driven by inspiration -- this is why the 'thought' is conjectured to be a sympathetic motion in the brain from sensing Nature all over again -- the Poet who writes from that serendiptous-connection having mastered the word-image-rhythms can therefore incite the emotives/feelings/thoughts in the reader where a synergy of the relationship of observer/observed becomes tesselated interactively -- I throw a rock in the stream and watch the ripples fill the unbounded cavity of your brain, where these ripples ripple all over again -- so, she writes her insights with a lyrical pen that babbles like a brook of words that meander down the page while unfettered glistening fish jump from line to line seeking the source of their urgent drive home -- thus does poetry roam

why we evolve eh

"What happens when a new work of art is created is something that happens simultaneously to all the works of art which preceded it." T.S. Eliot

so there it is -- when we work our art on our very selves to move beyond the clinging embrace of mere gravity, the dubious dirge of making ends meet, we evolve not only ourselves but we reach from the same urge of everyone who has dared to evolve before us -- and by that very reaching bring all further than they ever hoped or dreamt

all things are connected


-- is it copying when inspired by another in a jazz riff that is the same but diff-a-rant? -- path-dependence is the name of the game, what is new, from old it came -- nevertheless, it's the fire in our hearts that sparks creativity ya'know and when those words in embers glow they'll gleam inside the readers eye, inspiring them, as sparks do fly -- you really wanna' know, that's how writers pens do flow

Democracy as evolutionary intent:

I'll believe in Democracy when the average IQ is above the status-quo and the average joe is not such a selfish schmo and the average jane isn't shopping for bling; when the hearts of men care again, I'll be a Social-Democrat then

beauty as urge to merge

where-ever I see beauty, I just wanna' be fuk'd by it -- like the humming-bird and the flower where the unfurling coil that is the hummingbirds tongue reaches in for that sweet spot, slipping and sliding 'round and 'round getting deep-inside that pretty one merging with it's Beauty -- how would you see it from the inside-out perspective -- what images, impressions, feelings does being-beautiful, being-fuk'd by beauty do for you -- such is beauties beautiful relativity process like being fuk'd by words, by poetry that turns our musical-brain full-on bursting into a thousand well-writ phrasings, making a mess of matters in such a beautiful way that words can have their night 'n day -- the urge to merge is an ongoing content that is alive and there if you're aware

Ramadan man:

~ out of the desert at dusk he will come, intemperate, seeing you first with his eyes, burning like coals in his longing for your sumptuous fruits, then his mouth will swallow your blushing lips, he will drink deep from your sweet mouth while hands as strong as steel bind you close to him -- in that ravishing you will feel the Laylat al-Qadr in your breasts bearing passions fruit in your mind and your hearts will be one...

Confidence Management 101:

expressing emotions with conviction, without trying to please others often causes the monkey-mind in others to respond with aggression first or deference -- nonetheless, when the mind plays on the slippery slope of words=emotions=take it personally or words=I'm special and you better be able to see it - we get misconstrued communications with pain-body ramifications and deceitful variations -- as such a common past-time is to treat all wounded-reasons as uninvited guests and find that what you thought was a hornets-nest is but a passing of gases dissipating rapidly

to breathe life into...inSpiration

we breath life into language which we construe with semantics and syntactical alliances until it needs to be said or is a lovely song but mostly flung out there into a crowded starry sky to fly or fall, that's all -- I learn a lot from my still-born writes as much, if not more, than those that never get a stare -- it all gets recycled in the cauldron of my heart, boiling with fires too hot for knowledge or understanding, spewing forth with plasma graces where they flow to my pen again and again as leaden storms or golden winds

inspiration is the gift of stars flowing with light from eyes glittering with delight or waves of sweet wise words floating off the tongue of an old and smiling one -- nice poement -- inspire - To breathe life into

we invent language, but I've used the archaic expression with [Middle English enspiren, from Old French enspirer, from Latin nsprre : in-, into; see in-2 + sprre, to breathe.] -- which aids in the allusion of language forms 'n rituals being dead, without life until we breath that life into them -- kinda like in Jewish folklore, a golem (גולם; English pronunciation: /ˈgoʊləm/, goh ləm) is an animated being created entirely from inanimate matter and then 'life' is breathed into it -- of course they can become servants or monsters

I get the feeling you're really like Le Petit Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in that your allusions are that we are all bubbles of brilliant shimmering hues bouncing and bullying each other around looking for ways to merge with each other, leaking through our surface tension, wiggling or waiting for that 'special' one to burst us free to really be me -- i'm real only then when you are and life is real only then when I am bursting at the seams of what I thought really me means --

the 'song' was originally a come-along of similar sounds with reverberation, a frequency-ride in scales that shaped the land-scape you were assimilating, the urge to merge with a naked-dance prance -- a sort of serendipity cum verity where your body-heart-mind instrument sympathetically resonated with the here-we-go, doncha'know -- as you are aware, I'm not a fan of thinking and find it highly over-rated, nonetheless, when thought follows in resonance with the heart and the body dances to that earth-bound beat reaching for the sky, that's when my words become imbued with inspiration, a sweet-release, a sigh

I don't flaunt that I'm a flautist and like to jazz 'n rhythm with that music stick in either sonorous tones of a Tai Hei Shakuhach or the rigorous tonality of a Sonare Solid Silver Flute (Split E) with it's inherent mystery -- from the Music of the Spheres to the sounds that sooth our fears in the relative dance to the frequencies of scale : Planet to Planet, Star to Star, Galaxies and Dark matter revolving in the slipperiness of deep 'n dark space keeping pace to their own law of falling into each other in time and space matter -- I'd imagine dear Wittgenstein with a black hole in his head bending the light with his insight -- Godal, Escher 'n Bach played with the infinite-in where all thats left of the Cheshire cat is the grin -- canons and fugues with Shepard scales, the white whale of Information Theory, the Eternal Golden braid in Quantum tessellations made -- it's Higgy dust where from nothing to everything you see, a Quantum fluctuation made music and you 'n me

I agree -- as stated in rigorous English, I'm not fastidious on syntactical forms 'n rituals nor am I averse to the idiom of the medium is the message -- as an idiot staring at forever I've found concept bubbles burst on the meandering stream of consciousness toward the Sea of eternity, where I, you and me no longer dis-agree nor are bound by the laws of 'be' but ride the waves of entropy -- the medium of longing swells in an ancient-ache, as if the stillness of the infinite sea that is our sky quivered in a hundred-million lights, falling as stars, the searing tears of night

i'm laughing in spasms here -- yep! it's the 'terror of the situation' bound in words that slap and scold that what is new always comes from something that is old -- here you've scraped the surface with your wit, like some grave-robber digging into it, to boldy go where we'll all end up, as worm-food making them, too, fed-up
for me, words as sound and vehicle of what we need to say, come as streams of rhythms bound naturally by the tempo of the time and how would you say, what is going 'round in Zeitgesitian rhyme -- nevertheless, as night is bound to day, where language ends, poetry will have it's say -- whether it's dialectically determined daydreams speaking in defence or a bird-song rivalling for the highest branch in the tree - the writer writes, in idioms of laughter and tears, words that grate or are in harmonies -- either way, what is real and what is not, is an invention we corral in the words that we've got; why not?

I get what you're aiming for and spewing word-vomit on the floor from drinking it all in 'till you wanna' burst that write is wrong when you've got it all rehearsed -- to analyze and sift through all that we are which makes us say the things we say, like Physicists mapping layers of a Star as it bursts into a fiery rage or the pundit and his polemic to the Political slave -- to reiterate my wan declination, I'm not a fan of knowings demarcation, but I understand this non-trivial need in this forum of Poetics, however, understand that I'm not into rhetoric nor a theoretician but rather lean to the nature of the beast in us and it's mystery of the numinous -- reason is wounded in that it cannot embrace consciousness, that there is something more and bigger than we can garner by taking it all apart, that Science like Art is not the map but the territory where your feet are write now, where to show is the goal and not to tell -- Art is greater than the sum of its parts but getting what you're going for takes analytical skill, the heart of it, if you will

i read often and often when I'm not, I read visually all sorts of movies from the 'B' horror raves to the artsy Sundance festival faves -- lately I've been entwined in IT Server migrations and DNS woes which is what I've been doing all day today -- however, the collected Patchen poems you steered me towards gave me inspiration then to William Carlos William and that old lover Walt Whitman -- these American Mystics who fired-up with wit, inspiring is the very foundation of it -- I've read other Poets but lean to these guys, loving their oddity, finding it wise

well that's an interesting turn of phrase in what you say, do I read for fun in any way -- well, yes it's fun to read 'n write, in fact it's outta' site -- as you read me write before, joy is the foundation of wonder and wonder is the basis of the dream that all that we are and all that we seem is as the bloom is to flower, as scent is to what we feel, and the feeling is fun when it's then so visceREAL -- I study too and then I dream, look out over the Burrard Bay into a city that shines like jewels in the night -- I read some and I write some, mostly for fun, while watching the Sun glitter on the Sea or the tessellating Moon beams that set my heart free, yes, that's fun for me

the TXTing scene is a dangerous-one, it would seem

the drama in kids is another way to say that they're stressing and straining to acquire their own moves on this earth, for which these elders gave them birth -- it's hard to see through fixed-emotional monsters that roam like ghosts of dinosaurs past, these people propelled by their greed, that what our children are is part monster and part mutating-thing on the verge of the urge to merge they're DNA'd with -- eventually we all begin to see, or not, that what we are is not what we've got, but is more numinous than this, like kissing the beloved with the same kiss -- our children ought to see farther as they stand on the shoulders of giants before them and it's up to them to jump into the Sea of reality -- my children are a synthesis of me and their Mom yet much much more that that sum and aren't so dumb as to TXT 'n run

falling stars

-- in the medium of longing swells, an ancient-ache cried out, as if the stillness of the infinite sea that is our sky quivered in a hundred-million lights, falling as stars, the searing tears of night -- so did the night beget the light

that's the slippery slope of duality ~


in the congress of Love
only Loving is the Truth
and that's the Beauty of beholding
with a realEYEsed look that dares to see
that Truth like Beauty is relativity --

this is my body, this is my blood,
come unto me as children would
with eyes the heart has seared with fire,
overflowed as insanity on the sharp edge of desire
where the fool and saint are one and the same
as players in the play of this duality game --

promulgate your Truth as if a wave on the Sea
where waves all gather but disagree
yet often move from deepest blue
as if they were both me 'n you;
dive deep for the pearls and come up smiling with their gleam in your eyes then write a Poem while watching each drip of your pen bloom into a thousand flowers, again 'n again

the metaphor for surrendering deeply
body 'n soul, like Osiris 'n Isis or
Dionysus the horned hoofly God
with his flesh ravaged
and eaten by his drunken virgin savages --

drink deep his gift of blood, eat the flesh
of the King for the Love of Spring,
to rise again with Sol, in light for us all

ahhh, yes - such are these terms of endearment
made merry with sounds that alliterate 'n show
the tender moments Lovers know

galaxies 'n quarks inside our remarks, resolved by sense, leave us no greater than a flower or a tree, unfettered, yet burdened by eternity
11 paradigmensionsional string theory proclaims this universe is like a loaf of bread where the slices touch each other is where black holes 'n wormholes tunnel to another possible version of me 'n you
