IMMEDIATELY POEMS (Rilke & Kandinsky)

 

 

Cream Puff Epicenter

 

They look so cool in they

Look so cool blue heads and pearls

Babies in the U

 

 

 

 

 

All-New Neurosis

 

You can imagine the opposite

A skinbare sleeping bag in the foyer

The glacial steam begatting time

Eyeball to eyeball

The opposite being not

The opposite containing

The thing itself

 

The glacier slowly melting

Into treacherous technicolor life

 

 

 

 

 

Palace Alley

 

Big green trees light the way

Neath four shooting stars

Tears of the moon ripple sea

A frame of wood and beauty

 

 

 

 

 

The Other Way

 

Locomotive churgs out the century

Electric lights pop speed

But shadows are people

Never get out of the car

Never wear the same clothes

The other way from the sun

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Third Phase

 

In a basement somewhere

Manger turns over baba

Little childe spills the future

 

First the waterfall becomes the salad

Then the frame becomes the thing

Now the bundled nerve

 

Oh her horses race the future

Head on past the past by a nose

Sun shot out of a cannon rock

 

Driving mouth union

Lifting gently over

Her dress trims the green

 

 

 

 

 

Pure Expression

 

A black blob way up there

Flies so sweetly by

Let's drop the strings of all pretense

And fly into the black blob

 

 

 

 

 

Sacrifice

 

My mother gave birth

To me so I could take

Off my head and hand it to you

 

 

 

 

 

One Clown to Another

 

Around the ring it's fun

A freshly furnished garden

Harmless germoids watch 'em tango dance

You call that a secret?

 

 

 

 

 

One Red Eye

 

Blink a room of bad paintings

Turn a circle out of prison

Air raid! Fata Morgana! Winter!

No escape, a little flame everywhere

 

 

 

 

 

In Munich Pool Hall

 

Beer is normal

Toothpicks are brought

Blue cabbage

Spilling water smoke

Layers are all liars,

To sweet onion heart

 

 

 

 

 

Becoming the Other

 

"Everyone loves you when you're someone else."

                              - Robert Stone

 

From here from there

The door knocks the air

A patient rises above

The placid table, looks

Below - far below - beneath

The floor to see the sea

The cemetery see

Which is me

And then how over but

All's the same as not

A moment too soon stops

The wild flutter and motors

The censor to approbation

Kicking and screaming as the

Wave breaks on your fear

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

K. und Munte am Tisch

 

I was hatched without this much troubling coffee

So you paint, want to paint me?

Here my garters don't show said Wassily

To the teacup set just so

 

 

 

 

 

Iris at the Kopf

         (What Actually Happened)

 

I put on

My bone glove

Androgynous dream

Crept over my body

Bone glove groped

The lips and pulled them out

Froze me with your kissing

 

 

 

 

 

Someone Jumps

 

Off the horse over the fence

Begins a few poems

Back over the fence onto the horse

 

 

 

 

 

Impression

 

Impression is what came before, now

Here we go standing by where they were

They now ghost in a view you see

We squint at same red sun

Black outline holds my hand

 

 

 

 

 

Total Heart

 

Improv Japanese science

Zip patches quietly

Content in sheer verb

I'll call my whole life "study"

Venus Awakes

 

No light

All touch

Funny lines

All tats

 

 

 

 

 

Rhythms, Strong and Free

 

No shortcut to beauty

First the desire then that

Which fills the desire

A grey spring day in Munich

A grey spring day in Munich

 

 

 

 

 

Dachau

 

This sadness no bird

Would sing

Grim, gray ground

Stone mud crematorium

Gas chamber

Words spell nowhere else

 

 

 

 

 

Concentration

 

Every stone

Every bedding

Every breath

Every oven

Every thought

Every one forever

 

 

 

 

 

After Rilke

 

O Rose, o pure contradiction

Enjoy being in no one's sleep

Under so much ice

Barbarous Boring Bullshit

 

A cuppa jav, a coupla eyes

Dum de dum

The swinging door

Just don't swing

The way it usta

In Glockamorra

 

 

 

Death

 

 

 

 

 

The Lovers (Rilke)

 

See how the lovers come into being.

Spirit flowing in their arteries

Their bodies tremble like axels

A circle of magnetic heat surrounds them.

Thirst, and they become the drink

Wake up and see...  they become seeing

Let them sink into each other.

So that they can overcome

 

 

 

 

Die Liebenden

 

Sieh, wie sie zu einander eiwachsen,

in ihren Anders wird alles Geist.

Ihre Gestalten beben wie Achsen.

Um die es heiss und hinreissend Kreist

Durstende, und sie bekommen zu trinken

Wache und sieh: sie bekommen zu sehn

Lass sie in einander sinken,

Um einander zu uberstehn.

                           Rilke

 

 

 

 

 

My Only Regret

 

That we didn't do Death

That we didn't do breath

Nor use the word nor

Nevertheless it was fun

Chewing gum

Am Sternberger See

 

Someone looks at the lake

Someone is on the lake

Someone is in the lake

The lake is slowing the someone

The lake is seeing

The lake is taking care of itself

 

 

 

 

 

Frankfurt Wheels On

 

Across the Main

Forsythia blooms ahead

Of spring sudden blue

Remembers tiny iris

Glistening with dew

Beside the skyscraper

 

 

 

 

Puberty Neurosis

 

O gimme gimme gimme

Gimme do gimme do gimme gimme do

Or else or else or else else else

 

I wanna wanna wanna

Wanna wanna wanna

You're a creep I just thought you would like to know

 

Ripping eight years

From your life

Where do they go

Yellow suns on young boy

Tossed into the river

It's a beautiful view

Too bad you cannot see

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Small Flowers of Solitude Zone

                        Mundsburgebrucke

 

I am falling

Deep

Into the Ausenalster

There is no canal

That leads here

You can barely hear

The daffodil creeping up

Through sweet spring

Nature naturally sweeps

The breeze into your lungs

So many of you

Calmly wearing skin inside

 

 

 

 

 

A Pendulum for Life

 

Free sun orbit!

Keep mind proceeding somehow out eyes

No sleeping sleeping

A candle burns through a body

The clicking of insects on a blue glass window

 

 

 

 

Little Wheels in Africa

 

The woman is shouting

Her mouth to my eye

I was on top

Of the mountain

Mow the mountain

 

 

 

 

Late Night Bully

 

One star wept

It was all all right staring

It was a simpler vocabulary

Made simply of stone

 

 

 

 

 

 

God Appears in Human Form

 

Put the fish

In the air!

And the mammal

And the mammal underground!

 

 

 

 

 

On the Way (To Nowhere)

   (Not Having Fun)

 

While being led

Over the ungrafittied parts

Of the crumbling wall

I bled a kiss

 

 

 

 

 

Someone Else's Haircut

 

In case you were still wondering

Wake up! Escaped birthdays

Have built little pockets where

The trains go, where the sweet

Snow trails the morning

And I don't know doesn't work

Reflecting upon the face in the soup bowl

Most tenderly regret rien

 

 

 

 

Ice Blitz

 

Because you stand alone

In the middle of the room

Trying to balance the world

Life's pendulum shouts escape

As the door opens

To let you back in again

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Square Angel

 

Wings fall squarely

Over the statue's face

Not a shame

Just an airconditioner

 

 

 

 

 

Walking Modern

 

Steps of angels hidden

Psychopathic remnants of a fool

There was a moment for the true pigeon

All I can say is nothing

 

And a yellow hat

To tip the sea

From my clanging stupidity

 

 

 

 

 

Kneeling By My Own Coffin

 

A black blob lifts from the ground

I am amazed at how sweet I

Lie with a sense of casual relief

 

 

 

 

 

Beckoning the Walrus

 

Sit in your big silent chair

Pick stuffing from the rip

Without threading the connections

Idly grasping mustache

 

 

 

 

 

Fish on Trapeze

 

Swimming on the mirror is forbidden

No swimming on the mirror!

A cough ends the millennium

Just like that pendulum

Back through the open door again

            cloud

 

 

 

 

                           village on the

tree                               horizon

 

 

                 horse

 

        chaussee          

         de plomb

 

 

 

 

Red Cross

 

A circle

Horizon

Light blinks

To stay on

 

 

 

 

 

Horse Without a Title

 

Bird without a song

Dog without a chase

Roll boxcars boxcars roll

 

 

 

 

 

Cave of Love

 

How often I hide in

     the cave of love

You on the bed your hand

     dangling

Fingers deliriously glance

     the rug

My skin contorts into

     shape

Your sweet love and the infinite

     space

When the happiness laps upon

     your beautiful truth

And I am lost in this poem

     writing this poem

No One Holds A Candle
