the everywhere
the moment somewhere
when nightshade laid its
iris black
my lonely figure
astonished
in loud serenade .
the everywhere
oozing blisters
upon sore feet
deserts old from clouded heart
bleached bones stark
from faces brocade
the everywhere startling
almost afraid .
the everywhere
black shadows
of celestial beings
flower and fly
whose eyes wide open
have their silence
an endangered species
the iris nigricans .
the everywhere
blooming from stream side
meadow , forest margin
the everywhere
sky becoming lake
the everywhere
black snakes with no limbs
swarm into soft luscious wounds
the everywhere
the nightshade of the earth I ate
the everywhere
the black mole on my face displayed
and the fragrance , an oasis
that one night
when tulips
they died so beautifully
the everywhere
the everywhere
my son beloved everywhere .
the everywhere
of nightshade
the poets weep , the sheep graze
next to uncovered embalmed corpse
the everywhere
bodies a thousand with eyes
the everywhere
blue iris like lightning
open to the sun
the everywhere
music calling music
the everywhere
spectral tenderness
beautiful , beautiful
and beautiful again
something more than human
the everywhere here laid
the everywhere .
For my son ….
