I Feel Like My Brain Is Being Grated

and pieces of it are falling

into a bowl

someone killed me

and is cooking me

and then

I remember the world

how it rose like a demon

how I screamed in terror

as it cut my throat

with its fingernail

and I bled

trembling to death

and now I can hear its

stomach growling

I can hear it making

happy noises

as I and others

are meshed together

and I lose myself

completely

and get blended

with everyone

before we are thrown

into boiling oil

though that doesn’t

make any difference to us

now that we are dead

and to nothing wed.

The Sunlight Makes My Thoughts

drip like perspiration

and they get stuck

under my cap

and slowly

turn into

fading words

evaporating

from my neck

then conversation

enters my ears

and disappears

and the world

seems only

half itself

and I become

a bee buzzing

around my face

I shoo away

and the whole thing

is so weird

I see myself

and the universe

vanish

like a shaved beard.

Looking To Take Off

into the blue skies

and dive into the green rivers

of beauty

my body weightless

my mind air

I become relaxation

and fantasy

I am the boats shimmering

in the waters

of my childhood

I am the neon streetlights

in the rain

I am the green grass

entranced in the downpour

I am the wet naked Earth

smiling in joy

I am the soaked birds

singing

I am the music wafting

from the homes

of the people

I am the children running

in laughter

and I am their hearts

beating in ecstasy.

There Is So Much That Crosses The Mind

like animals running in the forest here

and gliding from thought to thought

like a bird

is fun like the sun outside

on the dappled leaves

quivering in the breeze

life is so lush like a sweet fruit

those mangoes those blackberries

those jujubes hanging from the trees

we threw stones on

and ate staining our tongues

and memory runs like a film

in my mind

my existence flowing like water

in which I swim

and am so happy to be alive.

I Am Running Wild

in the universe

slashing objects

with my arm

picking up

stellar bodies

and throwing

them around

kicking balls

of cosmic matter

out of my way

and I scream

and shout

and my echoes

ring in my ears

drowning out

all fears

and I sprint

like crazy

till joy

fills my eyes

with tears.
