 Mountains

     of miracles
entwined in shit
  Scraping your head
like a zit
Tree sap
  pine sap
    Sticky and acrid
      On your fingers
  as you bury your mother
    beneath the statue of her
commemorating her sainthood 
smiling like you never knew
what is was like
to be happy

 He rooted

 for clemency 
but not to be
To be 
Or not to be
Not-
   He walked the yard
the grass needed mowing 
The shrubs trimming
But tv waited  
and cold beer 
and doritos 
What a day
 true

setting
         the watch 
   of a thousand 
        dreams
        and your white
                   Japanese car
          in Anza Borrego 
the search-
the dirt
     The dust 
     the dried up lake-
     filled with green-
    so green-
            Oh so green-
green

 Plead

 For nothing
     Nothing lives 
     It sighs
   It has low moments
 And high
It casually thinks
About dating again
   It likes dogs
And babies
Nothings 
Not so
Bad

 Steady

Slide like a caterpillar 
Say a prayer 
Tim the Apostle
Apostle Cowboy
 Sleazin 
Sneezin 
 doin blow
In the Delirium 
Talkin Dickens
  and Dostoyevsky

 A woozy candelabra 

not Dracula's
god forenought 
  spiders suck the blood
   they wrap their victims 
     in silk
        and bleed them 
          slowly slowly 
        slowly
  as the mood takes them

 The Clandestine Troop

forgers of identity
Broken teeth
And purple swollen bruised eye
Working Macys fragrance basement
hooked on No/Doze
And Dr Pepper Tic Tacs
Hush Puppie shoes
are comfortable 

 I am a stranger

An epistle

The Cowboy Apostle

I am not 

Nor will I ever...
I've seen some things 
So what?
Who cares
Why did I try?
So much to show
So much 
To forget
To clear-
Your head
You must be muddled
