The Pitch of Slumber

If time should take me to the fields  Split my hands with labor  and bend my spine  
like a green stick  I will craft a roof  
to rest beneath  and quiet the shuffling of my thoughts  
with the rhythm of diligence  
   If time should set me adrift  
Harden the soles of my feet with distance  and paint my face with lines of inquiry  I will keep my possessions  
on my back  and my thoughts far from destination        If time should round my belly  Sound in me  
a consonance of heartbeats  
I will mold my arms with new significance  and

Havoc CityA war forged scaffolding   
for this new simplicity of focus   
this new linear scene   
to eke out some discrete lucidity   
in havoc town,   
refugees are we who refuse   
the surrender of sacred in the name of tradition   
and brotherly solidarity   
all bridges and battlefields   
iron path and open land   
all palpably defined   
a simple guide   
for the wayward insurgent   
clear to the discerning eye   
once vague now canonized   
in a collective archive  
 
guarded by the vigi Havoc City

The FlawThough tongueless we may be   
our feathers align   
kindred shades of intent and design   
and I know the flaws that can slip between   
as thoughts devolve to speech   
In yours and mine I recognize   
words like baskets we weave   
when we speak   
of wanton bedding   
with borrowed eyes   
lay me down   
I am looking for what I find The Flaw

Night StormsNight storms   
the wind would pull up the sand, giving the air color and texture   
pale and granular, alive and untiring, white noise   
gathering strength across miles of flat, empty desert, the wind grew strong  
 
we could lean our weight against it without falling   
by the time we woke, early in the morning, before the dawn,   
the dust had settled, the air was quiet and warm   
sometimes we would wake in the morning with dust settled so thick over our eyes  
 
that we would have to turn to the side and shake it off before we could open them

_The sordid topography of loss   
a slow forgetting   
some meager gift, of low hung fruit   
strange and unyielding _

sorry noelle, i know i shouldn't say this--but you're most definitely one of my favorite poets. i was just reading that ts eliot we got in russia. damn it's good. frank took pictures of the drawings i did a couple of weeks ago. i will make some more this weekend and then i'll see about trying to make a real deviantart site. is it best to subscribe? i've been researching some music. did you ever look up bongwater? i think you should check them out. also, you can research the other reviews of people who review them and find music that way. did you know that? i just found that out. --this probably should have been an email not a comment. oh well. xoxoxoxo

AHHHHHH!!!

They finally blocked off DeviantArt. I'm so sad.

Well, you can still see the main page and stuff, but the red screen of death comes up whenever you click on any deviation.

I'm depressed.
