birds on high

without any help of the wind
propelled by disguised low motives
(and ‘how’ was nobody's thought)
little flying engines that once could
captured the blue heights, though
they didn't see the coming clouds
and the skies were soon filled with cotton
softly and subtly stopping any move
until rusty myths became their only glory crowns

one wholly superior raven once
claimed her world dominance
by the volume of her proclamations
and by reducing words to syllables,
chuckles, calls and wing flaps
until all speech turned into oodles of flight calls

pterodactyls in fashionable hunting wear
kept shooting at bats for lack of better interest
passion gone, who's to tell
what hour a sentence will be spoken
against their safety net of stereotypes and masks
and all will dissolve in sour 'do as you must'

a highly hollowed crane, every now and then
dove down to the street level
to shoplift some milk chocolate
which stimulates melody out of her dry throat
which shows the omnipresent pigeons
and unpredictable common sparrows
her majesty
in spite of her stiff neck
and neverending ringing in her ears

and high up there, above all that,
there was God, remember him?
you'd think he never knew or didn't care
about the murder of crows
and how mysteriously relevant they were
to the perversion of thoughts
occurring down in human world
layers of missed light below heaven
where the goddess of sharp beaks is defeated
by rightfully debilitating clouds

thus the sentence was spoken

long stormy night

 one mississippi ...a bitter star is falling down... two mississippi ...I argued with the devil and i won... three mississippi ...and when trees don't anymore let the violins speak to me... kaboom! familiarity with falsehood is not a stairway to heaven your head may look as fine as gold but your feet are made of clay nothing but dust under the power of the Rock that fills the earth how will you not fall? you are but a murder of crows meticulously glued into a grandiose idol by the promise of fame within the will-less bundles of muscles in the network of shame blinded by the unpromised luxury heights inflamed by the gluey years of resentment of rejected lovers beggars of love, however misunderstood and their idols of age defiance and lust downgraded by the glowing rectangles with their images of envy betrayed by the happily hand-clapping crowds of fake jesuses and fake madonnas by neurotic parents of monkeys evolving into crafty profit maker...

iron-y

why burn the bridge? so that no wounded birds could live under it to keep their wounds alive your irony is like sulfur “no” is a burning word takes the iron rod giver to say it right they undo every right and fight for every wrong like that recalled letter of apology drop-dead bird mockingly unsent ungone, unknowing of its power ironic like dried sunflower on a blue chalkboard the art of death reigns in their hearts there is only defiance of dessicated flowers  between acknowledgment of rain  given in the right season and the first hydrating sip of life as it were to be fractions matter, splits of seconds are life ages of stubborn magma buildup can crumble in a blink of an eye, when you see how many grand personas brake down between saying thank you and being grateful always

don't pray for me

when the thieves pray for more loot, who can hear them? in heaven or in hell? let the wind know, let the wind know if you forget your name the wind will still blow your thoughts away when the whores pray for more wages, who can hear them? whose job is it to care? in heaven or in hell? let the clouds know, let the clouds know if you forget your name the rain will wet your hair anyway please, love me not the teddy bears and dolls are all asleep now this factory of dreams is a delusion there is no path through the house of terrors the neon signs were all lying tell me what pay is worth playing a nameless agent a role with so many angry lines in a play called "I wish I were rich" befriended and adored only by the three-headed snake of familiar spirit? [weeping is heard in the clouds but the streets are dry] please, love me not when the hands tired of work and hearts hardened by adversity rise in thanksgiving prayer why is the snake still speak...
