ghosts of my life (sinking in a stream of consciousness)

 ACT 1 
MELTING into the crucible
of her sapphire and steel stare
i felt myself turn into liquid
in the most lucid fluid stream
where my outlines disappeared
with my insides dispersed on the table of a roadside cafe
plucked out if the nineteen forty's.

Glen Miller big band jazz
& a chorus of old man monotone conversation
volume turning up a few b...

for the creation of an in-house Christmas production

    under starless ceiling
  a deep onyx sky melting into the waves
I paced the beac...

& ground breaking indents
cementing his path through the sands of time.

when the bearded man spoke or wrote 
his words formed waves
blown by the west wind
& the sleeping dead woke
drinking his poems as an antidote

life is beautiful

i would fall from heights
shaking Lucifer terrified
for Luna's starry skies to linger,

dancing on your flowering lips,
sweet with vanilla cigarette smoke.

life is beautiful.

phosphorus waves of purple patches
carry me from seas of stormy eyes
onto shores sanctuary ...
