RIVERMOON DOORSONG

RIVERMOON DOORSONG

Suddenly to the left of me – oh look out – out blind violets rise up violence

no violence only sound riding up like roses and horses and wind,

and small rain down can rain.

You wore a mask – but no – it was a cat.

And I clutched at you your lovely skullface and I held your blood forever.

Mmm death is just a door –

do the door – door jam to the depth of the door– ain’t nobody here

but us moonstone blood bools

oh drool into my mouth baby I needed it,

I needed us chickens –

You are an opal, so flip the door, flip the switch on, baby

on tiger, river on, push the atavista in your eyes

blackbirds rain down in gauzy gauzy peacefire rain –

oh take back the fins and radial feather switch chemical history

ignite the black night

switch out the violet gauzy

play my eggs with a bow my love

I look at your mouth your mouth is a bow love

Your mouth is a naught, holy nothing

Let’s take all the death out

out of rabies, out of firearms, I suck the death out,

out of the doorjam, the keyhole, the lightswitch

switch your tail, the urban tale of firearms and gasoline

I take back the night, take back the nighthorses,

take death on my tongue as a tablet and birth out a

mushroom of lilies and orchids even flowers growing

and even flowing growers growing

in nitrogen night

air I suck

the death out of daybreak alarms

strike a cheek red  robinredbreast

robinredbreast I love you

I love fire

escape I love

on beds of rice and wine and your kisses make wine

of me rosy

mulch pulp and gauzy fire out of me

I needed to,

not two, but one moon

dropped from

you my love

my lover my liver

with a healthy dense breathing liver

and kidneys riding in the back like

wings and heart above stomach where it belongs

we may never see cardinals in Cleveland but

(winter nerves me make us)

Pigeons sleeping like tender ladies,

And gulls in some parking lots

and red-tailed hawks

live here

my friend said red-tailed

hawks are the owls of Day

I love you

Scrawled over it All
