this fiction of mine laboured flux in the skull of mysteries and memories worked by furies to the wheel is dealt a willing thread into...

of course there was much confusion at the river



of course there was much confusion at the river
trading words of penance for the remission of sin
we saw it from atop the terrace hotel
and through every nonsense
and under the incantation of a full moon
i lost my best lies to you right on the gaming table
fatuous and warped by the numbers
dizzy at the sight of revolving angels
_and with feathers in our drinks_
before a wild crowd who cheered the mighty engines
pulling emotionless spinning their giant wheels
as the days meandered away with each other spells
showing you immodestly wanting to be mine
as I was yours plenty and always
with guitars sounding like bells ready
to usher our way into the whirlwind of being in love
and ring our hearts in tune with our darling songs
in a way we could not convey to any of the present
though some said they understood the drill
so we went on becoming with the feeling
that no one knew the right words nor the way out
we sat there holding hands moist under the table
and saw the numbers blurred on the wheel
signs beyond recognition held us still
and then and there we bared our telling phrases
like litanies of tall tale bits their meaning
uncertain fitful to ourselves

downtown acid



here i go
         i can't make out what 
the rumour is that goes right
as leftwich steps on the gas
and we go up and the clouds
are wind in our ears whispering
nonsense and bits of satisfying 
sing-alongs on bridges falling
and falling into a brooklyn
where tim leary is yet awaited
and everyone is an undercover
the kind who blows its cover  
with a barrage of foul language
over some wise kid moving a street 
barrier for no conceivable reason
   you could know the truth just once
   out of the hat or the chiaroscuro
hear here panthers lay on carpeting
plush plus we are getting shafted
they say _it's okey let's skedaddle
before it all comes crumbling down
   we could break through once more
we got tickets for the warhol show
it's rock and roll and even the cat's
cool now and the breeze it's sudden
on our face and the ride and the view

living off a bible black night


living off a bible black night
in the bough darkness of six 
feet under among the primal 
shards mattering no longer 
the bone nor the ashes on call 
ready and silent deaft to 
the plate sliding rumbling 
the first cry long awaiting
just mercy lastly chewing 
gum toboggan runs _so much 
more for knowing it all wrong 
a victim of circunstance
