cosmic fuck poem

the search for god becomes a suffocation 

stab the fat star spill yolk across the sky 

yellow a scream across the de-tuned darkness 

touch my lips, breakdown this sunset songbird

It's great when you use color this way--like it was plucked right out of a scene in a film.

Stu,

This sent my mind into a flurry of thought. I had to read it several times. It has a profound quality which provokes many images.The opening line struck me as I find the search for God frustrating and almost unachieveable. An excellent work and thank you for this.
