1. Sentimental x Unsentimental

The stars in the skies 
dripped into your eyes 
like the beautiful ones 
hold you when you're done 
I'm in this for love, not procreation 
Fallen Angels, righteous sins 
raptured in this direction
baby it's you, it's always been you
from the moment
 I breathed you 
in like a fog
tripping in the dark 
and into your arms
and another one 
pound me like a drum 
brush the ivory 
got me singing in harmony
that Beast with two backs 
coiled like a snake 
make it worth your while
kisses loaded with guile 
write a Silly Symphony 
Under the cherry blossom tree

2. Harmony Palatial

pink colored chlorophyll 
sunshine blue marker
concrete easel 
another one 
you're a DJ 
Walkabout 
under the jazz Promenade 
be a Jesus says hello 
measure for measure
a forest slice honestly 
mirrors seek wrinkles 
presidential silence 
elephantine stretch

3. Hospital Bench

poems gush out my fingertips 
written carefully in blood 
tattooed on my skin 
the original sin
sapphire blue 
crimson red 
fetch me a napkin 
sharpen the quill 
pumice the moments 
lovely bops of clarity 
because nothing else 
in this damn world 
makes a lick of sense
