Tornados crest at the door
& humidity

Well met, lovely gardener,
languishing with the Sun
every morning:
I wait while you’re awash
fierce dripping flesh
in your rainshower
I am your honeysuckle reward
no one cared properly for or since
& when I rebel I break through
concrete in sacrilegious color
know despite my visceral thorns
in conscious relief
I seek your vengeance,
for all your faithful labors gone remiss
under your warm meticulous nature
I will become ideal
–LM
the dreamy kinesis of falling feathers
as I mount an esoteric ladder
I AM ungovernable at best
temperamental at worst
[researching spiritual rebirth &
the effect of sex
hit the deck]
unleashing orgasmic bliss
from a canyon/ no,
an awfully verbal mountain
comparative to myths
of biblical proportion
I spy/I spy
on your feet, now, soldier
we are leaving
–LM
I always ruminate on death & though I swallow the fact that it’s inevitable I serve the entity with a restraining order
[knowing damn well it won’t stay away] perhaps it’s my aesthetic
no matter the case
It’s only a paper slip
to a human skull
these words are
immortal/in that, you & I
are supple peas in a mod
weaving our legend
in the absence of light
I sense poetry in all forms
____in every consumable
it simply needs to be constructed
from news articles on the expanding universe to brief snippets of conversation [seconds & seconds on seconds]
my doomsday fate
tragic shut in-case
timid & belligerent to a world
without you>>> fit for demolition
–LM
You took a leap of faith showing
your face here,
gotta say I like it
keep coming back.
I’d tip you personally for your patronage
because poetry is wet
attention is golden
& my words smell of death
somewhere the carcasses of old
bloom with stiff petals|
collapse to dust
You know this shit keeps me lifted?
I read what I like and who
I like are the ones ridged with
passion, unafraid to get
their ass kicked
I hope it’s not one sided
I’ve had enough of unrequited love
for thirty one seasons
–LM
My heart jumps loudly ahead beat by beat for a millisecond and it scares the fuck out of me, steals my breath and makes me question in that second if a second is all I’ve got left, & if it was, the first thing that springs to mind I’d never want to leave behind is you, nothing more astride the void the forever open door the bridge the hidden forge the lonely glow behind the Veil than you
& where your emptiness is, my love awaits to erupt like so much color/the birth of a nebula
there are black holes that go rogue & eyeballs in space with less thrust ahead/
momentum ad infinitum
–LM
in a banquet hall I overhear soldiers
talk of near death experiences
& phantom kings on their doorstep
masked by wings
@ 3AM I’m literally hoping/
& I’d be unsurprised if
[beneath the crown]
it was you
the whole time
–LM
Mouth squelched shut
tasting my tongue
there there little bird
finders won’t keep you
Tie off five trash bags
full of yesterday’s lunch
I know I can’t manage
plating the rest 》
but I’ll contemplate the life
of underwater geniuses
changing color
changing shape
A little green I could never be
& have never been comparative
–LM
I got a sweet tooth
and I can taste your blood sugar
never knew stars could align
this
way
once
I’m waiting for flashing lights
& rebel music
to mark your entrance
but I know you’re ecstatic in darkness
palms out/fingers stretched
pulling smart strings
like piano wire
and when they press
choke the surrogate | leave the child
we were born
before the sun
–LM
There’s been so many instances of humiliation in my life it’s obscene &
now
with experience I can promise you for all intents & purposes you’ve never met a more empathetic tragedy and will never come upon again
someone like me
better yet
–LM
