Dark walnut pristine Bulgarian perfection

strapless jaded relaxed wisdom

she needs no seat-belt, no protection

passenger to a manic vision

comforted by this mission, slight

tremble ignites momentary earthquake

he twists his hand, gently

to lubricate the engine

oils flood, pistons fire & erupt

she twists his hand

excited for country exploration

journey into the inside, moist

dandelion late evening Oregon summer rain

cascade of sprinkles & twinkles & truth

15 miles per hour, odometer reads eighty-seven

that’s all?  virgins in the fading light

ride & roll & speed ahead

32 in second gear, heat radiates

gears release natural sweat

goddess now in his breath

an abundance of hope & scents of divinity

rearview reflection anticipated

deep in silver, bucketed cushions

they race ahead to emotions undiscovered

fourth gear at 57, fast

a sweet salty joyous tear

slides from brilliant contact woman eyes

her womanly eyes that burn his headlights forward

perspective focused gallantly on immediate destinations

erect volcanoes tremble again as lone torpedo

threatens warfare, incites earthquakes

79…  83…  88…  fifth gear fury!

tribal heartbeat rhythms

synchronized tribal heartbeat rhythms

that sweet sweat permeates excited voices

stutter, shutter, sweat, shimmer, acceleration

sweet sweet sweat of passionate discourse

racing discourse, this course, furiously

bright lamps beam ahead, 90

radar detection activated

360˚ protection failed!

red lights of plastic detection blare

93, milky twilight frozen around us, 102

police scream sirens of intervention

she screams sirens of trust

he screams sirens of lust

108 as salt pours from united imagination

police scream siren force

she screams siren lust

he screams siren trust

110 as salt pours from united imagination

113!  entire reality tremors circadian explosions

upshift, downshift, upshift, downshift

overheat, rumble, ricochet into earthquake

air-cooled madness synchronized tribal earthquake

115 miles per hour — turbulent purity

emergency brake broken

he sinks into her quivering, luscious smile

she needs no protection

she twists his grip from the barren, tepid wheel

he releases & descends into her quivering sunset

she whispers transcendent tertiary existence

Nicholina’s pale tenderness laminates turquoise

against Matthew’s soul, forever in this starry night.

[Police records indicate the odometer read ‘Timeless.’]

Silicon forest breeds artificial life

an abandoned industrial building waits

eternally lifeless

invisible walls; no perceptive doorways

cracked cement sidewalk

blurs division between safety and earth

crickets make love in coke cans

sun drenched asphalt parking lot

radiates tar, heat and dandelions

yellow sun dandelions

blare their deafening silence

grassy field littered with shards of gravel, glass

produces amanita muscaria in november

sacred

directly under the last oak standing

but in hillsboro july

stale solitude and singular depression

indent sterility into every creative vision

pools of oil stain the tar that stains the earth

a psychedelic sandwich of disgust

police cruiser patrols this vacant land

intercepts the poet

aggressive wheels mistakenly crush a coke can

crickets make love in coke cans.

Gentle, provocative whispers in my left ear

maroon lips one breath away

rainfall pure explosive thunder

drips from your imagination into my reality

moist words echo reverberations, perfection

veils removed for luminosity

I tremble to your resonance

“ever since you walked through the door”

I tremble to your naked brilliance

dripping from my imagination

into your reality

moist words whisper

“essential”

one candle burns for one love

one love burns for one life

this life we have connected again

I feel & hold & dream

our wildest concoctions

I have found your luminosity

I tremble once more beneath

your moist, velvet whispers

rainfall descends decadence

candle seems to have been doused

light does not fade

love does not hesitate

I accept our impermanence

trembling into your naked brilliance

liberation a breath away

I hold your waist & gaze

lush meadow-green eyes

transcend fear into acceptance

rainfall pure explosive thunder

naked, moist, velvet lust

reverberations echo perfection

“essential.”
