A Hierarchy of Angels


Forgive me if I fail to see
The flattery in your Joie de vivre

Correct me if I’m insincere
In disregarding the context of your cheer

What’s left tomorrow is often the rejected
Frames of today

Distinguish yourself through honor
Open your heart to verite and
All the lies will fade away

Forgery of purpose is impossible
If dedication is one’s only vice

Destitution of promise is but
A reflection of internal strife

To calm such seas in tumult
Simply intuit the breath, exhaling
All denials and debilitating thrush
And such is the way
And such is the path
     To delve fully in such direction
     Is to submit to potent tracts
In truth there is forgiveness
In strength one finds the gravity of love
     In harmony there lives a peaceful serenade
     Serenity one could almost touch

As one walks the valleys of the parent
All allegories are revealed

When one accepts all that is as what is served
There will be a hierarchy of angels revealed

Blind Embers Of Motivation


(S)Categorically frenetic
     Suffocating on the brine
              Bloated by the expectations of lunacy
The moon, its vapors
Unveiling premonitions
Ravaging the waking hours
With the addictions set in dream

Clarity is boring,
Facetious knowledge thrusts forward
As if the audience is nothing but a mass of ignorance
Collected in awe of your deepest recollections

The truth of emeritus is the dagger of gold in search of silver
     Vanity, a distraction to unparalleled degree
              Ask and you’ll be known as he who is without
                       Stare in silence and the curiosity will devour                                       you from the inside out.
Striations aligned
Subluxation pared
We are there and here
We alone create our own definitions of fear

A Provenance (Terrain Re-Formed)





Acerbic stenographers astringe notations sharply—
alleviating bite, by renovating the acrid testimonials carved
to mind—honing gently the slashing song—where whispers carve forth
trenchant pleas—pallbearers to the instigating insinuations, guardians of the purulence, rife, when upon mordant lips, the secreting fixations of, yet, another reverence to those that blindly guide their steps of rote, allowing the innuendos, their latent stand, to the government that we know, have known, a priori, perchance, breaking spine over cragged vales, built from self-sustained flowing depositions, aqueous but not in water, instead, in the substance known as blood,

Anted up to and for, the ever-growing populous, prepared in sacrifice, delivered for the ever eluding but finally found, pluperfect fertile plots needed, by and for the contrition and rebirth of this, the endearing soliloquy, as alone, a foundation for what is formed and of what will always be, alive within the compositions housed up inside all the entities deeply affected by this dream, this dream defined as love. 

Like the sepal, a parent must fall and leave
once their bud breaks free

She came at him, as if she were the xiphoid, thrashing
wildly, ready to pierce, through wood, flesh or steel

Where Zurvan’s voice is lauded high
and translations proper scintillate the prophecy,
then time and fate are thus realized, not as
the enemy of mortality, but as constructs, devoid
of the emotional absentia of non-particulate cohesions of deign

Of which path proves to find, Quegh in hand, brim to lip, flushing, funding remedies to one’s thirsting space
aftertaste, falsetto’s straining cry, wryly crinkle the abased breath, curtailing to prometaphase—in which, as to where, affectivity submits fruition unto, those echoic wrests and culls anesthetized aware within—self producing vials of relaxation, grifts the flesh of its willful mastery, tranquilizing away all of tensions anti-gifts, paving forward the pathways to a pastel future’s beautifying provenance

Like the epigraph—attached to the blankest page, the one that oft arrives first, before introductions or indices, illuminate what journey borrowed words will play again—meaning staggers upon a skeptics skin—ever eager to prove the story’s premise is as was foretold, if only to eradicate doubt from the perusal within the crevices painting the walls of the minds many precious folds of fate and time.

Bumper-Stuck

Genuflect before the altar of progress-

Who are You?
What would you rather be doing?
I remember when...Do you?

Questions, quotes and quips
Plastered fenders spitting soot

eRacism
Violence with the Ghostbuster slash
End of Poverty
Eat Meat
Don't eat Meat
Eat More Chikn

Some to get behind
Some to jump in front
Messages on the go
Billboards for the slow
Sentimental favorites and soon forgotten

Plant a Seed/Save a tree
Yet that feeling you must kill a tree to express

Bands get free advertising
While all their bad habits fall on you
At least that's what others may think

Sticky situation
How can I cover up a Yankee Sticker driving through Boston?

How can I cover up Rush Is Right
driving through the East side of town

What good does it do
To express your point of view
when questions you cannot defend
When answers are solely bound to the seer

To each their own, to own their each
Break the Law, Break it all
But save the creek
and honor the treaty too

I once had a car that had so many holes
I used to joke about free air-conditioning
Then the paint turn to rust
And Stickers would patch it up
It still stopped running
It still died half an hour from home

But there was this one time,
No, not in Bandcamp-
but..no I won't that's another tale for another time--

But there was this other time,
When I ripped off the whitest sticker I had
Forgot the message
Because when I got home
I had your number
In lipstick

Would've been the perfect bumper sticker-
If the number wasn't wrong.


Brian is hosting Poetics over at D'Verse tonight where he provides us all with the prompt of creating a poem based off of Bumper Stickers.

This piece is a complete rambling free-write.  But I would also like to say that I love reading the cars in front of me, or when I walk through a parking lot.  I've always wondered why people would put stickers on their brand new.  You see some cars with so many of them and wonder how could one person possibly stand for so many things.  You see them and equate them to collages, bandages, billboards etc..

I used to work for a record company.  God, I had boxes of stickers.  I wonder what happened to them all after I sent them back.

Great prompt tonight Brian.  It was good to just stream-write on the topic.  Thanks.

Layered


Lions in a partridge gait
Looming lepers sincere in their wait
Flinching Bossa nova’s jazzy quest
Innovation’s scrutiny under great duress

Pebbles under caves gone turn
Eden’s vision leveed prior to its burn
Gramophone’s pinning sultry plates
Dishes calming to drones irate

Indigenous
Born with guilt & grief
Undisputable
Our passive voices wilt & leaf
Definable
By each choice, whether long or brief

Garden to gulley
Grove to stream
         It’s not the answers to the questions
But the effort to try
                  That makes beliefs layered deep

Iconoclast


If the strings to short
Extend the chord to make it long
         When a heart is torn
         A survivor’s returns     
         Stronger than it was before

Free radicals
Rapidly destabilize-
Frenetic copulation
Generating many more

Free-thinker
Backslider
         Revert to habits lost yet bold
                  Relapse to actions undesirable
Skeptic
Apostate
         Unorthodoxy filling plates
         To devalue what’s been great
         To diminish, divert and deviate
Abate
         The pieces that make you this way
         To take away, detractors
                  Rejects heretical
                           Reactive ruination of the piece
                                    Blind attacks upon the cherished face
                           Cynical rebuts, breaking molds with each tirade
Rebel, rebel
         Last single of the dance
                  A revolt against stylistic stance
                           A Bowie knife-
Into the hierarchy of a conformed romance

To be like lambs
I could follow with a reference to slaughter
Which would be suspected, perhaps expected
But then I’d be the same as many
Lost in a realm of less than plenty
Compromising my position
To allow the confines sealed for the countless more
Instead I’ll permit my thoughts to graze
In the open pastures of free range
Bucking trends, if so be seen,
Elkono + Klas+ Tes, an agent Noun, of change, which I’ve yet to determine if I’m so inclined, to allow a definition to occupy, the meaning of what I believe to be.

Architect

Cartographers do not dare
Dream routes for this importation

Hidden realms of exploitation
From sandy dunes to barren hills

Beneath mountains of clay and sand
To the jungles of infested men,


Across valleys of infertile field

Through the burnt remnants where
Once completed mass was heard

Ivory pews aligned side by side
Glass stained windows for angels to observe

Sponge to the hairline
Sign to the stations what shall be crossed

Repenting and seeking salvation,
Hoping and praying for acceleration

Through a life unknown,
A plot less sown

I cannot bear witness to those I love least of all,
Those men who smudge cursory images

To the name of you that died there on that day
For my sins, all you gave, all that was taken from thee

I shall not let them speak slurs of ye


My intent was not a violent song,

It was not my will to stir battle on,
Only state position,

Placing next move within your very court

But do not withdraw your impetus,

Do what seems appropriate,

And if needed I shall respect,

Seeing such a choice is met with similar ambition,


I shall invoke each bit of strength
Every ounce of sweating vengeful sentiment

I shall transform when cornered,
And a violent song then will sing indeed

A Faithfulness to Beliefs

Soft, silver, white,
Like barium to the sight,
Lacquered, layered,
Tethered, Teased,
Each of my awakenings
I’ve yet to grasp,
Yet for each,
I hope they forever last,

Spilt from the tedious feat
Of staples extended
From carpet to foot,
From each trace left behind
I can’t imagine a more delicate type,
Roses in compendium
Fill the treasure trove with make believe,
You’ll live much longer if you breathe
You be much happier if you are faithful to your beliefs
