My Immortal Friendships

I’m not sure what I would do without them

My friends

The wild northern star gazers

The animal heads and the element souls

My friends with the fucked up slang and the bruised condolences

My friends with their art and their pity and their smiles and their glory and their

Confused rambling and their raves till 4 am and their drugs and their peace signs and their

Hugs when I see them after its been months and the beers shared and

The port drank and the wine guzzled and the smokes smoldering 

Bonfire blazes and cigars and blunts and joints and cigarillos and cigarettes

I don’t know what I’d be without you all

You maniacs you sonsofbitches you 

Sexy devils with the hearts of epochs swelling each breath and gasp and belly laugh

The hollering nonsense and the deep anomalous truths we share

Between the hysterical fantasy thoughts and giggling school children jokes

Without your jeering and loving

Man I’d be so lost

I’d be just another one of them

Careless in my cage and frenzied over my hamster wheel and the 

Snickering neath my water bottle where droplets drip on my exhausted dragging tongue

Whooo! but we know nothing of cages

We are the void

The interdimensional galactic lightning cloaked heroes 

The moondipped singing orangutan chimps dancing from treetop to cave mouth to the riverside 

Psychedelic mobile inside the hippocampal neural fireworks theater

We perform for each other each time the stars scoop and sustain the night to digg the fevers

Delusional and illusionary musketeers saunter the midnight revel

Blasted and rooted…….

…….Shit what I’d do to have you all next to me at this very karmic instant

Washing the dharma of preconceptions and bouncing koans off the trees that feel the 

Walloped harmonic dissonance across the ageless vast cosmos

Beyond the lucid phantoms from our childhood nightmares and 

Our runaway’s dreams and our forgotten scars and our suicide escapades 

And our parties and our illicit tastes and our extravaganza ambitions and our

Once in a lifetime friendships

Impossible and unborn 

Intangible and fleeting

Ghosts and aliens

Freaks and the very last band of merry thieving troubadours left in the multiverse

Us

I love you all more than this blotted scramble can commune

I love you more than all the memories we have together tied tight

I love you more than I love myself and that’s what helps me love thyself more

Than anything and everything

Thee love for my brothers, my friends, my sisters, my pitiful glory proud heaven humble hellfire

Friends

Till the last song, till the rains come
