During a 9-10 month Jack-Kerouac-esque solo road trip, I wrote short/brief verses in various cities, towns, sticks and islands, then compiled as my 8th book. Used lowercase and random format as a pseudo-homage to American poets of modernist, lost generation, beat eras...

cafe

balboa peninsula, calif.

 

she spoke slow o'er wine's flow

`neath searchlights glowing low

he wrote, later from tomb

how he felt, earlier in womb

thence knelt he to her nous of soul

her shadowy crevices of confession

by lovely alchemical depictions

thus his dark corners of rumination

in oddly perennial versification

adjective

nampa, ida.

 

the verb fucks the sentence

by the nouns and raw senses

confessing and/or molesting

until an adjective releases

contentment

 

3 nov 2013

friday harbor, san juan is.

 

november's kiss then cool caress

before icy grind by winter's bite

and frore finesse mid endless night

yet, for now, the autumn's end

oh contentment, tho' death foments

his shrouded smirk, hence to it

wrenching a grin per smile within

rainfall

mill bay, b.c.

 

bedewed coolly by rainfall's fate

subdued by the sustained spate

resisting the hate else the cost

moments lost and trodden into sod

wanderings

 

5 dec 2013

jerome/goodyear, ariz.

 

passions then causes oft are strewn

as painted vases broken when thrown

upon the floor mid tokens and scores

clay shatters, yea, nothing matters

save nails black, along nape and back

making taut the slack, per avid trace

of new lace, laid as ancient thrace

coital faces paired to a sable table

edges hand-grappled by fear repelled

and love's chagrin, again, to defend

their yearnings' eternal wanderings

sorceress

 

16 apr 2014

key largo, fla.

 

o sorceress of the wayward isles

graced and styled by mantles wild

'tween stints like cafe aisles

flitting mid the grins and wiles

as well the grails of coveted guile

sincerely

 

25 sep 2014

oxford, miss.

 

dear polity and popularity...

 

know the hex in your legal violence

in your sex, all swallowed by silence

truths' tender for lies' counterfeit

guile print in vile mass as holy writ

tho' regal as goddamn demigod-notions

such convulsions mid your compulsions

 

...sincerely, individuality
