City of Angels



This is your rite of passage
It’s many yet one
Avalon, Nirvana,
Asgard, Jannah, Valhalla
Conscience, karma
its Plato, Alan Watts, Jesus, Budha, Allah
to lighten things up there’s this saying from the inuit

Perhaps they’re not stars, but openings in heaven
where the love of our lost ones pours through
and shines down upon us
to let us know they are happy.

Let me explain, take me in
You‘re a tall drink of water
and that’s pretty useful
But of you
there’s more than a handful
You look back, reflect, take in
and come day or night
are prone to mood swings
and you might know,
only dead fish go with the flow

I, am a moonshine still
Mash within and yeah that’s corny
But I boil and burn
Cook up something 80 proof  
I am ethereal
pass my shine around at will
the fuzzy feeling of a thousand arms
sweeps you off your feet

Burn at night but when the sun’s out,
simmer and sit still behind the porch
cooking up ideas as fuel for my pilot light  

What I taste like, you ask?
Copper, salt, dirt, sulphur,
corn or maize if you will.
Pure natural ingredients
and a lotta hard work. Pass my shine around at will

We interrupt this verse for a word from our sponsors:
Get it while it lasts. Zeppelin moonshine.
Breaking records since the seventies. As the youngsters would say; ‘it’s the shit, the last hit… will have you see stars’
Made by Page and plant, so versatile you can use it inverse.
Call to order now. cause you cant buy or copy it. Be on the lookout, be first
Operators are standing by. 
The first 100 callers get a free novel on the discovery of heaven, a recording of Plato’s dialogue, a map with unnamed streets, and all seasons of the Big Bang theory. This offer might be valid for a moment or forever. No refunds.

To not confuse falling stars with planes
cause there’s enough plain flavors
in the city of angels
gazing at the Hollywood sign
where somewhere near the fallen stars lie
so, come see the stars, visit LA
Pass the tinsel gated community
Its not about staying but wanting to be

Ain’t no moonshine stills in Beverly hills
Forget the tour of the celebrity homes 
They pass, they fade,
they may inspire but are a phase
unfortunately, they are too dim for lenses to develop into a lasting image
they tried to be stars but couldn’t handle the glare
so they had to forfeit, give up, served their purpose all burnt up
fallen to the floor like used solo cups
resting neatly lined up on tiles of the walk of fame

So hitch your wagon to a star   
Make that moon shine
you already are water
Collect stories and scars
Where streets have no name, go wander
Read zodiac signs
posted on corners
like Taurus street and Gemini lane

And when you pass through parks
see the branches strum the barred windows of clubs
in Compton and Watts
like fingers on guitars
where Dre and Kendrick first spat 16 bars
visit all of them to join in the cipher
pass your shine around and learn the steps
as the stage door beats your drum

Lest we forget
Those that popped their bottles and punched holes in the canopy which we deem stars
dancing with Ziggy between Pluto and Mars
They flicker in tune on beat like notes on staves. They pour onto us as foretold by inuit
At night when on the corner of Hollywood and 27th
Amy, Kurt and Jimi play stairway to heaven

Psalm 69



Exhale your thoughts into the humid room air
They drift, pulsate on your heartbeat
Setting the tone for the rhythm of our speech

I quilt the tapestry of lines miscarried that are left dangling; woven veins on the loom of your loins
You yawn yards of yarn to tie up the loose ends of conversation

Candlemas equals immolation
The monosyllabic bursts from your chest harboring your emotions form the lullaby hushing me to sleep,
Realizing you‘re moulded by god’s broken hands
no need to speak as we merge and sing to your heart and soul
You surrender to the chorus of quiet choirs that reverberate
The choir can’t hold a candle to your song of bliss
your body beckons for this
Sing psalm 69 as my nocturnal lullaby

You fill your glasses with teardrops
You’ll be amazed by the renditions of reflection
Blurring your vision, joyfully

Burned the candle at both ends
water’s well wasted on the wick
Songs of praise, I kneel at your altar as flames lick wax
you have the audacity to call me yours
