tradition - moon smudge

on some potent heavy death, living for beauty inside my head
comforted by its grace and then i light a candle and burn incense

looking up to the open sky and laughing at my own premise
keeping a port open on its crest, a preface to nothing i've come to rest

it's true that we are what we've read, a memory with no end
deep inside the hostile mind, a friendly face that is warm and kind

with psycho syllogistic range, passing endless through the maze
ya ain't shit til the moon shine on ya, after rain falls and the birds flew

awoken by my own penchant for lips on skin in wet cement
howling wishes out of tune, in sun through fog after a moon smudge

dancing with my own blown smoke, my skull sewed to a webcam
and blowing kisses at the moon, if i come home it won't be soon

tradition - moon smudge

Untitled (Two Bits) - 1986, NYC

Impossible Spaces

Changes

i don't know if i have the energy to coax the machines w/ telepathy, hypnosis, and my divine will
crunching kisses, decompressing smooth, and the heat of the sun has redefined the truth
it's betting it all just to win close to nothing just once, it's sinking into a process even if it's out of touch
for some it takes their remaining strength to attune, hug, and reassuring it's all good
have you done more than you've atoned for in so far as much as you've been known to
there's little chance in the illusion of a choice, i know who i am and i hope when i left the weight lifted
the times when i've found beauty and ignored it to prove that i didn't need to be supported
but i've come back around to say that it's all good, and i haven't forgotten the kindness that you're known for

tradition - i know you
