i stand here, in an earth’s dark

with

a black sun

screaming its storms of light

in black through i

it seems,

that i can, but;

forever just begin,

on my reach through

my body’s echo in eternity.

inside the candle of breath

on visions of a mountain’s

silent swim - with the clouds

of;

winds tearing unseen

somewhere above

the line of growing

in green

the sunset rises

as colors

multiple of black

soft-eternal

snow drifts - reflecting

the clouded - moon

for light,

non-flesh hands

who pass with no command

sifting, through the sands of

standing breath

woman - how often born ...

who walks - so open in

her closed shell

before she's torn

with eyes, as flooding gates

pouring living dreams as

silent screams

across the fates

on what man

astride,

through the water-wind

she stands on the

air who bends

alone - within

as a storm stares,

wrought on the

second - which

never quite moves to pass

fasting with in grass

afire on the wind

of eternity-pure

 

child-woman, trying growth

dreams to be free

inside the candle

of breath -

hard city lover

she has dreamed,

as she has heard

time cross eternity

from a warm-snow

bed

wet - from her drives

song

naked fingers have

stained within my skin

sounds of sights

beyond the nights

- jude

 

 

 

city streets, with their shadows of feet

she has never seen

the concrete

sidewalks - where so long

echoed her steps

across a city’s

eternally-shadowed-night

she has never heard her

own cries for more

through closed eyes

as his body’s sweat

ran naked between

her breasts,

of a dress black - riding

loose between she

and the wind

leaning her body to ride

clean - across

a dream’s eternal reach

as all the while, someone

shivers with cold

grabbing at names

that she may

never remain in the street

of yesterday’s stain

while no movement burns

the grass!

you take me down

as a scream on the wind -

i find fingerprints

in swell

on the motion, that i may

feel and to care

reflected through steel,

behind the call of a street

light

bare feet who bleed on concrete

a smile on your hand

who looks my way

 

all the plays, you say

as you walk

away

casting no shadow

for who!

but just you, to see!

as a woman, you've acted

but never lived to be -

for below all the city lights

a shadow,

lies in the

wake - of even

silent

good-byes.

a moment across the cleaned stain

drifting between streets,

sores calloused on my feet

broken mirrors

shattered

in an open path

on the lead

to nowhere

and on the sides,

they sit and stare

carrying sins, to

prove they care

frozen tears

lie on torn sheets

washed eternally clean

of red -

fading with the

dream never dreamt

just lived

into it’s death before birth

far into a morning

the sun not yet risen,

snow still fresh

as a towel unused

and a man

naked with the

cold -

wanting, alone

wandering

without a search

to warm the sand . . .

where i go ...

where do i go -

muddied feet, bare

skin which tares

on the; which compares realities

blood lost with the ground

as so quickly they

see it no more

with sound you can but only

hear -

a child waking eternally

shaking silent tears -

with her

young unspoken fear

they name

another name

where i go ...

a woman naked and strong

lies, that she

may wake with

the man

believing,

there is no sin?

"oh! please"

in her yearning,

of more then, the

chance of life

the wisp of a wind in freedom,

the cat's dead,

as his rotted skin

pastes blank memories

as the child barks

and rolls over

on command -

but frozen tears,

lie broken in

whose hand -

 

with dreams taking the

place of sand

with a group of cheers

stealing the

place of

winter approaching oceans

where i go

so;

where am i

a skinless - too often,

shell, adrift

through the silent screams

of living dreams -

grasping fingers

real into : into real

watching myself grow

that all may stand over

my grave -

as i die

and - lie!

where i go ...

death child,

don't you know

i've never craved your

smile

so why - still

do you reach down

onto me in shades

of a blind man’s yellow

pouring strain on

my frown -

men on shovels,

trying to survive!

with water on the window

and

everything astride

all the many

faces -breathing through inside

living dreams, outside screams

of children growing old

standing still - on the empty

fill

on today in full color

beside - the monster rides

little people on the floor

making love -

to all the silent

yearnings for more

who's that knocking

at my door

the woman doesn't stop to

bleed,

as she walks hard through

the snow -

a man doesn't care - if it's so

he hears the earth ripple

as a woman’s skin

in rhyme to

destroy and begin

broken waters carry his swim -

all the love & hate

who never quite relates

while it is -

not quite is he there, while

he is, while music rocks

his stare - across the

never, not quite empty

plains of form hands -

with a woman in his home

he roams in place

sometime, what hero’s place

imagines his face

with a clown

living the mark of his birth -

so hard the

clown sneezes no more

someone trying unseen

lying

the child dying in motherless

dead skinned hands -

worn as gloves

worn by the hands

who carves as

who finds - mother-father-mother

father -

ice cream sunlight,

lost in the fight

yet returns -

for;

day - dreams

he's waiting to grow up

as he's waiting to grow down -

 

living off the

dreams of kings

who come riding

always by,

in shining armor

as the eye sleeps

the man creeps

and dances as a jester

the child isn't born

but;

dirtied sheets still hang

from the

windows-

a city - sill

the young man still,

the old men - trying

the old women - giving up

into nothingness -

a million feet with fingers

above

and the token face

below

humanity lost on a frozen

stream

of paper green

and the child-women

who come to go

and never grow -

the million faces drawn in

traces

we shall overcome - i speak for!

so i am

and never night -

gossip, in truth & lies

born. between the ties

a city boxes whose living -

all the living,

all the touch

between the empty tries at

aloneness

who sighs -

and the notes – relates,

never seen - but through reflections,

growing hair -

the living ,

the trying

the dying -

between love & hate stands

no one’s fate -

and why do i smile,

for my ears do -

yet who is a

smile ...

the sky tore,

a woman

her pieces -

lie in crystallized dreams

below three wintered snows

her eyes,

eternally open still

but face - frozen - dirt

packed as earth

and trees weep

in contradiction to their

birth

winds move across the

first birthday of autumn

carrying streets in the sky

where only - men do walk

no one talks while

an earth’s moon - rises always

full

and he stands still,

between the currents of CROSS -

a river,

runs hard up a mountain’s

extreme

a child - born

falls to the sky

- screams -

fearing nothing

green

as in stories

she's been told

to dream -

lightning - mates

sky and earth

in a just past scene

someone whispers,

'what is it, seen'

but no one knew what to

mean -

eyes, peer

open through a growing storm

from a moving

scream of silence

of eagles who fly

as her body belongs

frozen by their

calling for you to care

up in their rooms

never there

she'll return to me while

a wave in break freezes

in the sand a

crab sneezes

i stand alone while cold water

emptily caresses my toes

don't i know

how long will i refuse to go

i climb winded mountains

born so far

from the sea

sleeping,

to wake between trees

with no windows

but an eternal

dream

of an all open sky

i don't try

i breathe in a sight

and return -

with an empty autumn yearn

pockets filled with nothing!

pockets filled with

nothing,

hands lost, cold - to the flame

dreams filled with empty stares

while someone

somewhere - still tries to care

with nothing to feel

standing as steel -

catching the echoes

on distance real

life being torn to

pieces

not there, maybe even close

to nowhere -

never thought i could watch her

die - slow

can i?

trying not to peal -

quiet voice - who never

speaks

seeks to remain

and yet

to breathe

"down on your

naked knees"

but who speaks - to her

so she sheds her

ears -

thinking she can

rest with waves

riding across the fears -

she has called into

why

and still regardless

she's running all the

way…

who - won't speak to mornings;

and disbelieves

across night

painting flat colors

across anything (but dreams)

which

in their must

cast shadows

down from candles

almost in flame

as of rocks, below

just small waters

refusing to dance still

questing, from words who'll

never stay

hoping for the

word of dreams

to play at being

real - with no toys, to crowd

a

lying feel

while

 

all in a moment,

she's growing too real -

walls are standing

on memories

without the trace

of living

etched into

an almost face

a woman without fingers -

reaching through

the snow

knows - the peal of living

with no place

to go

but for the painted

mirrors of

yesterday’s

try

somewhere below the sky

the evening

a moon - set soft in an

autumn’s

clouds to wind -

who;

is she

born,

for the first time,

in a cage of

glass colored steel

a woman - from

a child,

trying not to peal,

so, the craving is to

reach - beyond

repair - beyond the stare

of wind comparing

air

standing clear of the

nothing that always deems to be

knowing there is more

yet still reaching, eternally

though empty

sores

she, who has known reality

clings to

to the world,

where it need not be.

her child talks her free

a piece,

need not be alone

on occasional, hidden

moments

as she feels the living

of her real.

and her body craves

for more

then a child’s door

on the forever

as all too dream-fear,

of real - of

freedom

in breathing feel

but who knows, how a running

poet grows

walking on an eternity of toes,

 

fingering himself,

slowly

into - death, as alone

into - alone,

as death

into a dying, without rest

does he run

all for his more then dreams

to breathe - to touch.

she sews from, stains,

yet;

refuses from the living pain

of death,

seemingly, more then alone

all into the million

unseen - pieces of she

bold -

"be, please and not!" whose silence asks

on a duality

never hearing

the poet is

a child turning through birth,

a woman, clinging to the love of a

still hears the tears

running free -

swallowing trees!

pour as rain

lost, yet never -

the poet aware

astride a surge of care

but on nothing real,

could he but swallow

his silent stare

to live on - a little

more worn,

a little more torn

wanting his nowhere,

a man strides

while silently the poet cries -

faced across a door

a paper-man,

remembered - the still

hearing more

turned,

to lie open upon the floor

because

again the poet

faced,

a breathing sound

turning an empty ground

a female still playing

now with names

and dreams of peace

yes, empty release

imagery of real

lost to all - but a poet’s

feel

and he, could only

dream for more

as he filled his store

cared - onto

the empty door

while a man

waited to walk

along

to live on - a little

more worn,

a little more torn

wanting his nowhere

 

a man strides

while silently the poet cries -

yet still again

on the chance of womanhood

on the chance alive

she spoke to him when,

asking his voice

and paper stain

for reflections beyond

the rain

the poet - deeply grown

recently thrown

lives her

through the floor

shattering the door

while the man watches

through her pane glass

walls

which keeps her tall,

waiting,

to walk along -

to live on - a little

more worn,

a little more torn

wanting his nowhere

a man strides

while silently the poet cries

she spoke and he turned

did she - did he

the poet; the man

a woman touched him

for suddenly she

was a woman - alone inside

moving alive,

but to yearn against the pane-glass

wall;

but to feel into real,

below the edge of

light, the poet

bleeds on her touch,

as does the man

wanting across the sand

to touch

on her dreams to

be;

to be free

to touch she,

before the poet as the man

must wander on

recoiling from

the world of pane-glass-walls,

to live on - a little

more worn

a little more torn -

wanting his moment of real

a man strides

while silently the poet

resides,

woman,

if you had the freedom,

i'd

love you till

you,

said good-bye!

she dreams

deep and quiet in her sleep

long - upon

a plane of worlds

breathing alive

and anywhere inside

fetus in body form

yet lost along corridors

with a stirring storm

to belong

funny - when she

doesn't ask

lasts alone and along

to drift within

a matching song -

to easy ?

but she

freedom to be

maybe beautiful

lying so far away, from

them all

and close -

just like a woman

in child dress,

that i might even

touch you,

and you wouldn't

run -

waking so slow

hurting and so . . .

when;

nothing will show -

to soar, as maybe

even grow -

but glowing with light never

seen

time turns just not to

mean

tonight is

as another day

and awake

 

who might say!

- - -

and when she screams

no one fears

no one dares to die

or fares on evil,

when they must -

she dreams

in crossing with real

woman,

but not that i want you

as not that i don't

as strangely there

is no lust for you -

yet of me you are

and;

to sleep in touch with you

i would -

on what i hear

but for the

walls of time

you mind

so i smile on knowing

an energy so - alive

children of autumn

leaves, long dead come running

on winter’s head

roll with a silent wind

begin and end

across that open lot

where in a moment

it seems time forgot

i rise from sleep,

where morning is

quiet - as if death

no longer rides

herd

and a sky flickers with

words, ever so soft -

needing to say

but nothing on the

anything ride -

has my rock faced

smile - broken

where all the no ones would see

nothing to believe

where anything born

is so rarely retrieved

while a man is never relieved

winter is in season

but on an autumn flame -

she barely has

a name

yet she is breaking in try

all the same -

i'm torn with pieces

with nowhere to show

but when i'll

crave for trees

i'll just get snow -

we are children of autumn

tied with winter stains -

sunflower-night-care

in pieces,

the glass fetuses

strewn across the floor

a naked woman

hidden by a coroner

shadow - cries for

more

blood increases in pour

her child whisper’s fear

so far away in the distance

while her any man

sweeps

away without any refrain on

her living pain

dance in place

believable

for a while

a single tree smile

all going nowhere

yet all caught

nameless she tries

as,

nameless she wantingly lies

confiding where one need

never speak - ?

or possibly seek

but she peeks

from somewhere

there on the floor

wondering

that a wind-sewn

poem - lover

might also scream

as he doesn't -

fearfully into dying -

child’s scared of trying

yes - sunflower-night-care;

between refrain

come over to this wooden table

sometime-woman,

lean your fingertips

with all those words -

your - poetry

fears, to hold -

i'm an old man

wrinkling onto the

walls

of my care

say good-bye

if you must

run from your soul’s lust

but maybe

give to me

when you are mine -

broken walls - just beyond

the dreams,

of calls

speak

those hidden words

who leak

across a moon’s! dusk-light

we meet at night

with sight

while day

still bites across

bending waves of here

into,

an unspoken dilemma

of where

but why

die! for the grave is mine

yet -

live my moment in

try -

broken walls,

just beyond - the dreams

of calls ?

a sometime woman

eternally in stay

a snow which is drifting

from sky and from ground

nights who move into

day

to turn it around

sights are peeling like

lights in the winter

while mountains are

dreaming,

in white-storm-freedom

time's the play

to an underside

eternally in stay -

for loving, and turning

a little man with yearning

hard fingers, on a hard glass wall

there are calls and falls

yet winter has no

edge

with narrow straights

and rivers bleeding

the poet roams

seeding his eyes

and tears on his shadows

screams, match footprints

beneath the rain -

no breaking, of faking

forsaking all sighs

sparrows ride on

the wind

whispers in try,

pieces aren't simple

yet - neither are they whole

and loving leaves ripples

into the breathing

of a soul

his soul isn't rock

or a broken tree

 

across smiles

across pain

beneath frozen snow

rivers

who flow

moving is the

only loving

he knows

a sometime-woman,

wandering near

owns smiles

like snow flowering in a tree

owns fingers

as water eternally craving to be

owns eyes

caverns of stain

on living color rain

owns me

and nothing, autumn blows

free -

is loved ;

till she'll die

without try or even touch

no names of friendship

or such

for somewhere below a

surface of flesh -

are breathing sounds

who meet and

mesh -

a sometime woman

is alive for no reason

and many

for the soul is of feeling

where someone can be

time's the play

to an underside,

eternally in stay.

but for - who is she

touch her

to drink of who is she listening to her

no, not the woman

but just someone alive

leaning in a place who

could easily be free -?-

who is she

i ask

and ask aside walls

a man, not wanting

to be

but a poet who dreams to see

to touch her

to drink of who is she

i find a scream

almost frightened dream

bleeding unseen

so i want,

i ask - to see

i tear open places

but from me

to lean inside

attune

alive

belonging to no one,

but i

a lie, maybe in ride

and not

yet never within

it begins

then asks

into,

who is she

she opens fingers -

i touch a flame

of ocean fire

afraid to move

yet maybe -

with, nowhere to go -

just wanting to see

as there is no

 

need to be

- - -

for no reason -

but she is heard,

i lean -

only ; on

who is she -

yes, just

to smile,

in a world

of

rocks

simply breaking

into nothingness -

untitled

merry christmas,

no one -

and to, no one,

a goodnight ,

so !

- jude

 

 

 

christmas almost

crumple a poem,

half written

within fingers

tightly yearning through sweat

scream toward a wall

predisposing on a

no one to hear

watch snow, fall into water

vapored before the ground -

i'm roaming through the

sand of christmas -

never quite finding

a door -

as anything near

or anything more -

i might know a woman

she might know me

yet on a day of belonging -

the moon

must release the sea,

open trees, a wind breeze

a strain of words

trail ahead

holding tightly

between i and

an echo,

tomorrow ever wide

dividing on

everything who might be there

till nowhere

leaning on the edge of

someone

christmas almost

- - -

so what can i say -

it's the breathing

of the day

and I -

just no poems,

will stay . . .
