Strokes after midnight
received a distant sad news
a swallow has flown
Watch over us dear
I kept my prayers for you

Bleeding Skies
Flaming shperiods descend
As the clouds swirl frenziedly
Uprooting erections
The seas withdraw then rise
To swallow the earth
As death enters
The grounds depart
To sail the seas
As ember paints the skies

To what may I most worthily compare
The tinier, fatter fingers of this newborn?
To breathe of softness his delicate fingers
Which by one definition one is able
To swallow one by one like cherry-flower snow!

Entombed
the bewitching hour--
silence hangs heavy like fog
claw prints on window
mist seeping through cracks
swallow soft comforting warmth
bedroom sealed--entombed

Hollering my pain
Swallow me, blackness, swallow!
Rid me of wronging!
That I do tonight
My lone witness a guitar
Watch me weep the sea
Just a dark stool I'see
Now not even me to bear
As steps sound my leave

True love begins in a dark paradise
Filled with graffiti
And Diet Coke,
Wearing a Three Dimension sunglasses
Against the white screen
Swallow popcorn in a summertime
Stormy rain.

A lone swallow honours her

Whales Reflect On Dying
mammals with large brains
typically reflect on life
chiefly when dying
whales swallow plastics
pounds of internal ulcers
chiefly they're dying
humans suicide
whales beach and with ships collide
chiefly they're extinct

My Thoughts
You can swallow me
But you left by embracing
My legs - the sea waves
You are the only one
Pounding every second
Of my life -my heart.
Even the stream of
Luck forgets the poor people
And flows toward rich.
I could feel you but
I can't meet you again my
-lovely memories .

Snakes are meat-eaters,
fangs, swallow food, no eyelids
