paradise is a beach ball floating on waves in silence

/
serving in a squash match of philosophy
set on the Garden Route forest court
on the East Coast
            i bounce my brain
off of the spekboom trees.
a treaty sealed in a binocular nod 
with two woodpeckers perched on a yellowwood.
              they lend me their wings & bird eyes
opening the dome sky window of flight above
                                                      the w...

Meditations of a Mystic (Time is an Ocean Without a Shore)

ὁδὸς ἄνω κάτω μία καὶ ὡυτή

 | 
if all cobblestone & volcanic tuff roads lead to Rome

Heraclitus wrote & wove the bridge

rotating in orbit through Hindu Yuga seasons

into the entrapment basement
resident stage to the passive aggressive
clinking cutlery orchestra 
conducting butter knife cutting taunts 
torturing my melted butter sp...

The Moon Moves the Ocean (Hope Moves Me)

        i.
I wake up each morning
my mind wrapped around your body.

spiralling in an unbreakable circuit
round and round
bound by terminal planetary rings
orbiting around closed eye film trailers of you
moving through sleeps ghostly shadows
from my pillow, crawling up the wall onto the ceiling
before dropping onto and into me.

watching a candlelight burning in a lighthouse

dreams + psychedelic drugs as inter~dimensional portals

i dissolved as a dandelion in the eye of a tornado
on a night dimly lit up by the fading
  waning gibbous moon

wiping the scales from my eyes
  i woke up
untangling my limbs
    out of the mycelium web
spun in a kaleidoscopic razor-wire thread
winding spirals of psychedelic bungee cables
within the walls of my exploding head

a prefrontal lobe c-section
made me see the plasticity of ...
