Torn between pains, the gathering of my mind, seeing shadows move, which aren’t there. Hear the voices whispering along the edge of minds coming out of nowhere. |

Dark the shadow falls entering the twisted realm of mind bleeding. Feeding on the questions which abide in corners of shadowed cobwebs that litter minds worried over things that still fill anger. |

Growth of unmadness like a child from babe to adult, fighting to maintain sense of worth. Wanting the filling comradery seldom reaching the point which encompasses such blankness as becomes the insanity of insect minded masses |

Fright filled afternoon slumber tossing in colored dreams calling it’s only in my mind. Not waking even though trying. When finally I come back, I’m soaked needing a bath ridding me sweat and fear. Remembering just feelings of anxiety and fright. |

Black night gives special freedom to us coming escaping oppression of day into eternities which are harbored in the arms of mother night. |

From crusted darkness at the center of worship come songs of ill passion. Utterances of blasphemy hurled to the sky, shape twisted spaces. Spend low sounds in shaken silks colored chaos, rough to skin bred in pits transidental evil. |

Sheltered in ruins looming on the edge watching the chaotic blasphemy at the core attempting to reach into any universe being repulsed by vary space at our core twisted into Elder sign masking our entire universe slowly changing a hope until even our small cosmos is an Elder sign. |

Blankness of soul surrounds like stifling fog filling every crevise with dull nothing even night in her eternities and hallow spaces has more to show than the blanknesses worship at her temple sniff deep the scent of life give softly at the doorway to the inner sanctum she will bless Then you’ll be allowed to see into nothings and find glowing breathing life |

Every shape and size any color will do.
I love books they are friends for life. On sunny afternoons and on those days when rain and snow fall or when the fog is thick and too when I just want to sit they’re their.
Dreaming of worlds far across time and space of mind and just. |

From this pit agony screams to include all that it can. Shaken still standing yelling at those not paying attention calling to darknesses masquerading as light. Barking into shadows that whisper things reeking of blasphemy obscenity and a few things even worse mentally vomiting in my ears. |

Look at a blank page
Never forgiving The blank page Lays there waiting Calling impatiently For the bits of soul The addicted writer Finds he must put upon each page Torn bleeding From the artists spirit Out of the depths With love and apathy as the writer must |

Look at the emptiness
A piece of my soul goes into every line. A blank page I see and need to fill with emotion and image myth and legend. Each word mixed with the blood of brow and the tears of sorrow and happiness. Trees and wind speak to me machines also Even stars and unborn shapes — future legends. |

At the store far in back under corrugated tin an old woman sits surrounded by boxes of books on each box scribbled in crayon a possible subject.
This matriarch sits deep in the protection of the page.
Not knowing what I might find looking through boxes grimed by age every book with a scent elder dust and primal slime. |

I bought your book at a yard sale on Saturday. It smelled of dog and damp but still I held it close. Water stains dark spots of mold collected dust of decades I know I’m in love. Holding it close Touching every page for places where others have worn with their care. |
