MY BROTHER IS GONE.

My brother is Gone
his footprints lays youthful ashore
...

i bow out
like d end of every great show
like d vanishin of a rainbow
i bow lowly after all
...

my love
sun sat maud
flung rolls words
tongues truth blind
...

do rainbows appear at night?
do men ever dream of flight?
are eagles ever scared of height?
love-deplored; faint i might
...

splat queer transport wave
vast sprinting widened spheres
twig humble journeyd distort gave
retreating hamlet lucid-clear
...

WHEN DARKNESS BESIEGED THE LAND
AT RUSTLING WINDS I FLOAT AWAY
THE SAME DUST OF WHICH I'M PREY
LAID ME IN MOTHER'S HAND
...

GODS; POTTERY OF THE ART
GREY SKY LET THY EYES DOWN TO SEE
MY LOVER, SHE WEEPS UNTILLED IN THE DESERT
MOURNING HER GROOM NEVER TO BE
...

clashin a thousand clicks
dwosy lashes of cusor blinkin
eyes stare yet nothing's there
...

..daddy told me on his dying bed
'it's a gay world out there' but
2yards out my balcony i had ma
first heartbreak, dadd y says 'i'll be
...

as a child i was scared of darkness
always thought vampires or some evil
would grab me unawares into them
so i dozed off in mom's wrappers
...
