52 Week Project: Week 31.5

Heaven's a Casino (mp3)

laying it down as we go
criss-crossed scaffolding
we ascend through storms and blue breeze
to an immaterial waterfall
our worksuits covered in rivulets of
blue paint

we'll never see it up there
but we know its nature
by the criss-crossed flight of birds
around it

52 Week Project: Week 9

Superficial Cleanup (mp3)

transistor gourds
telstar seeds
clumped
together
in a bowl
a pinch of electrical pylons
a spoonful of live wire
dig in

52 Week Project: Week 8

The Danish King (mp3)

a morning sidewalk table
the sun ribbons in and out of the clouds
phone receiver tilted on its side
thumbs and nods and voices ruminate
bumble hum scribble river fingertip
skim the glass mental radio fine
tuning
while we gaze at the
indifferent
waving
grass

52 Week Project: Week 6

Memorize Your Name (mp3)

Gazing down
the fountain of the sepulchre
connecting the lamplit dots with fishing line
conjecture
plumbing for
a submarine road house
where shadows deal cards
and
outside the porthole revolving
clocks float out of time

music: jimmy | art: steve | words: tom

52 Week Project: Week 4

Conversations With Myself (mp3)

The moonship waits outside the window
its now or never
she leaves the imprint of her self
no one notices
important meeting in the morning

52 Week Project: Week 1

Anthem for the New Year (mp3)

before dawn i pass my hand through the current that runs from the teapot to the light bulb
blue light seeps ups from the crack in the floor and the room is a vista of a thousand archways

wordless voices sing over the tomb of an unnameable knight
and i take my tea
