Rediscover What Has Yet To Be Found


Flies on the thieves
Swarming up from the well
Landing on the united fears
A problem for the travelling hero who must rediscover all around him, all around him that becomes dust and worn with the on set of the season. Death it is everywhere but within your blushing cheeks. You, You are the man too close to the sun... You are the man who once told me:


There once was a man who was the closest thing to the sun as it fell to the west. I met him in a town of desert flowers and hot winds. You could hear the collective pulse of the population as the heat of the day came to its climax, the blood in your veins would try its hardest to burst from your skin before it boiled and left nothing but hollow and dusty tubes running up your arms. 
We met one night on the outskirts of town as the religious bands were all tuning their instruments, every evening the sacred bands would play the same ancient hymn at certain points throughout the city, thus the holy people of the city would all come out and sing the song of their ancient gods while those of us in our cotton shirts that were stained with the days sweat would venture to the outskirts, as far away as possible from the bands as they were tuning, and we would mingle within the coffee houses that sat furtherest from the racket of the hymn.
This particular night I could hear the sound of the closest band's tuning grow quieter as I ventured further, the sun was setting behind me so I was following my shadow that was cast far and long before me, the roads in this particular town were all clay and stone swept daily by those who owned the house or store in front or else the sand would build up and get in and on everything. My shadow was running along this road when I noticed the man in front of me, he was distant yet what caught my eyes were his shoes. They had been polished to such a degree that the sun when caught in them would reflect back so brightly that it was so brilliant and blinding that I had to shield my eyes. 

Come, it is time to advance.

THE RIDDLE, THE FLAW, AND THE PUNISHMENT

If I am beautiful am I real? Like the boys on the 24th floor They are beautiful I don't know how to reach them I don't know how they got there Are they real? Are they the small book of poems Left beneath Sebastian's tree A page for each face A sonnet for each precious, beautiful, life of the boys on the 24th floor Each pulling at the others clothes baring chests and thighs some smooth like stone Some coarse with hair like velvet If I am beautiful Do I exist Do these boys on the 24th floor exist? Are they merely the temperature, the weather? The blush across my cheeks? How do I find this hidden floor? Where the bed is a sacred alter Holding those Beautiful fellows Are the words of the bible A book for each? Or merely strains of Liliaceae Showing their holy strength in the force of their stalk and colour They are the beautiful Those boys on the 24th We artist and poets we search for ever And what of us? Are we not beautiful? Are we not real? Why is it we never find the 24th...

The Moon is a Transvestite

The Moon is the greatest of Transvestites She holds the bruises of school bullies Her makeup is better than any lady you will meet Better than my bullish sister Better than the painted prostitutes of media Better than the young men of music The Moon she gets up on stage once a month Puts on her sequinned show Parading and dancing and showing us the theatre or romance and space And then she will slowly draw her blinds Closes her door Allows herself to rest Sitting on her favourite lounge Wearing her favourite satin gown Watching reruns of an old detective show I love The Moon

An Ode To Pain

You just drink to get drunk to dance And you just dance to have a brief taste of myth You don't shave sometimes to feel criminal And when you do you feel exceptionally last century The music you listen to was written by a man with woolly hair His cock was large and his genius was broad He found he could run fast when the rock fences were falling As you found were decidedly slow But the punches and the kicks felt alright Something to write to Frederico about An ode to pain perhaps, an ode to Sadism And where will the return address be? What land, city, bridge? Are you to dwell in the orchard all your life Pissing against the same trees as the other artists? Sleeping on top of the shadows, trying to slow the light Did you ever hear the myth of the Frenchman and the sailor? The Sailor fucked the Frenchman upon a ship that was carrying peaches From America to the port of Lamoux The more they fucked the more peaches were destroyed Until by the time they were hit b...
