Hi Ku Cat

[painful_rapture]

i learned to crochet
not well but well enough
so i loop and knot
to keep busy and warm
much like i write
i loop and knot some words
to keep happy and sane

 

[painful_rapture]

hello/goodbye
spider/fly
sticky webbing
life ebbing
end beginning
arachnid grinning
feathers rustle
beaks hustle
sated bird
songs heard
gun shot
without thought
melodic violence
reigning silence

Filling in the Low Spots

There's all kinds you'll find
dented souls and concave minds
holes in the heart that need plugging
smoothing over the spots hurting
for gentle earth and care

And even when you're good at filling,
master body man, par excellence,
that chassis that you're dragging around
has more dents than car 8
at the fairgrounds demo derby.

There some that say it's totaled
no hope for that wreck that keeps on rolling,
long past it's time for the junkyard
and I don't know why they're so worried about my ride;
perhaps it's their pride in the old antique,
worry that repairs may be too costly
afraid the mechanic will do more harm than good
silly, I know; it just needs sandpaper, Bondo
and a lot of loving care, filling in
the low spots

first and last thoughts
always him
gold
and rose

lips
tongue
cling
cleave

a midnight sun
scatters constellations
shock waves
on the fabric of us

less out and about
more in and restless
a good workman looks after his tool
and yeah, i'm a little flushed...

Crawl under the covers lover
thought you were long there
sweat that bug out

 

[painful_rapture]

i killed a butterfly
i touched its wings
dust came off
cursing me

i killed a daddy
long legs and all
i tore him apart
to watch him fall

My Ku is proficient in kitty karate
keeps me off balance, reeling
can you say, what a feeling
to have such a well versed
sparring partner?

Persephone rises, wild haired and eyes
gone violently violet as the redbuds blooming
or a pomegranate seed.

Rushing through the land, her hair
black as thunderhead, her voice
causes trees to bend in obeisance,
foot soldiers spring to attention,
golden gaze fixed on her.

Elements, my dear Ku
what some shylocks trick
to gain your interest accrued
seems to be my loss,
context be dammed
sweetwater saved for later
when you remember,
reality is just an allusion and
the tiny warriors that shake spears
toward heaven only need
a laugh? Look to the stenciled sky
beyond the window pane
laced young grey green monotone
dimming blue, a blush fades to pink
wired in limbs and branches
ta all

allusions and memories
a fade into healing
a fall into meaning
where all dreams are dreaming
and hearts and minds feeling
this unknown sensation
revealed through believing
- this peace

sent you an email, emptied some space here. typing's on and off ok.

disappearing threads
ain't no fly-by-night moths
poets are a lively bunch
pen 'em in too tight
they explode
things get messy

My Wa is bent, close to shattering
tenants tested, thoughts arrested
fuck it, it was a good run

bend
don't snap
there's always a way
though sometimes the way
is away

lit was the magical wardrobe
to other worlds
through furs to firs
snow clean on my tongue
the lampost
a smile to the past
past doorways to tomorrow

I'm glad you don't mind I'm a little bent
see a way to use my sway, how kind
to share the gate of heaven
falling snow
a vision of tomorrow

we're all a little bent
writers, right?

each tomorrow brings us closer
looks up -
waits for the white stuff

content cat
gets lazy when it comes
to writing
wants to curl
coil
doze in sunlit dreams
motes dancin' as colours that stream from a magic flute

cat needs a slap
to rouse
to bristle
find some gristle to bite down on and
spit out words in the shape of
images worth hearing

now a call to freedom
is a dangerous lure
makes feline eyes glint
claws feel themselves inside soft paws
but a wise puss knows
rampant freedom's not all it's cracked up to be
and a warm fireside holds appeal in its 'cosy'
