here i woosh bloodlike through the veinlike channels of Of

i have expanded into a grassblade

down which can glide waterlike your You




there are somany manies i can free

wholeselfed

into you the always that reverberates in every yoctosecond




i am gigantic

er

and exploding exponentially into newhugenesses

room for you to roam

with your infiniteness

lebensraum

roaming Lieben




do you know we are sea turtle

one which balances earth

we are an earth on which flow

sea turtles

in expansivenesses




ah but i am small

but you are inexpressibly voluminousness

in my infinitesimal

onceness (you are)

a forever in my onceness




as i am in yours




there are a no others but us

and we are nobodies in throngs of swaying bodies




and we are eachother

dancing on the seeming sometimes blue dome of sky

of

each

other

(OF EACH OTHER)


~ Travis Chaney

encircled by your arms

i vibrate at the same frequency as spring

just equinoxed

i bloom anew

like little wild flowers mown pop




braced by your legs

i radiate at the same wavelength as postrain sun

just unclouded

illuminating greening trees

giving purple ones white ones to burst with




osculant to your belly

my lips whisper i-love-yous

at the same magnitude as birdbeaks poking into soil

hungry

finding wiggling things




you wriggle as i vibrate

you brace as i belly into you

you lip

circles

my whole arsenal of words
sputters
when i attempt a bigexplosive
description of your justrightness

my paintbrush splatters (hand all jittery) my chisel slips (arm gone on the goddess)

my choreographed dance fell into interpretive dance flailing happily across the stage twirl embonpoint moonwalk flop

i forgot the words so i'll just scat
let go of melody and just wail

like an unattended barely walking baby with crayon in hand headed for a big white living room wall


~ Travis Chaney

feet apart
treading the air
your eyes are tongues
of fire sharply heating rising
into my eyes my loins nearer your loins
groans go gleefully groins go at groins grips groans climax follows climax peak equals peak outreaches peak follows high feet fall onto calves your feet walk on my ready legs your stare enters my open places deep there is a rest then a rising and sharply once again you tread the air labia gaped


~ Travis Chaney

wrapped in your smell

i harden

(icicle descending into your matchless cave

forking here and there

until i'm ensconced (in the rock

into which crumbles soil

out of which conic pines arrow and

into which fuzzy legged things nuzzle

i stiffen

lengthening the vessels

particles of light excited into uncountable movements

inside my stomach

forking here and there into the depths of my lungs)

i grow

nanometer after nanometer

manlier in the minerals

drippingforming

nourishing)

(ceilingward floorward)

tightening

(loosening(e(merging)))

lipsful of smile
underline my nose you kiss
beneath the eyes you punctuate

my eyes were
sentence fragments
sudden broken statements
aposiopeses
thought-out comments chopped off with dashes
deliquescing into ellipses

unful
filled

filled now completed expressive punctuated comprehensible

under your eyes above them
through them

eyes over which foreheads loom behind which
fire electrochemical pulses passion flowers

which were cats crawling on pianos
which are now jazzfingers clanging-composing

pulses grow into impulses

nose doubles into noses

over mouthsful of teeth quadrupling into smiles
(behind which tongues flicker)

~ Travis Chaney

now that the sky has felt your eyes

it chooses bird clusters and cloud textures and evening reds

to thank you

and the sun bakes on your brown

making visible your smile giving your light light


with nabokov on your chest and sentences dancing in your mind

you fall to sleep in the afternoon

so that the spirits who wander wonder at you

love sculpture

flesh song


i was shining but beaming now

the air carried your wish

the Way resected the ways


organ music blood happy

love painting

the spirits who stay sway gaily gazing at me

napping in the afternoon

with mingus on my heart and sentences swirling in my mind


making visible my soul giving my shine shine

the sun warms on my orange

thanking me

it selects trees to activate between shadows gives flight to bumblebees

now that the sky has felt my eyes

~ Travis Chaney

before your brown eyes
the extensions of me reach
higher into you


~ Travis Chaney

i eye you
o you!:
why i ooh
(you awe)

Eos, aah
aa, hisssss

yeah, i-you
(i.e. you-i)


~ Travis Chaney Feb. 2007

long open palms
feel finally
long open palms

there are so many giant trees in your forest
i want to make paths and touch those gods every day
then
i want to divagate and find new huge ferns under
older huger trees

on your shores
i want to wade out to a millennium-carved boulder
touch it with the tide
feel it once wholly
leave it for always
contemplating

little red pebble little white one little gray
on the wave-smoothed sands
i can walk forever among the constantly appearing treasures of you

(i am the unreal green moss that ornaments you
(hanging swaying))
(i am the valley deepening in your deepening stream)

always-flowing waters
meet finally
ever-moving waters

~ Travis Chaney

where angularly i go
through you toward you heart
there are beginning endings
which send you joy-shouting
which give me tremble-smiling

two souls with limitlessly long reaches
reached
opening openings
letting in disgorgeousness

through you and the earth the moon swoons
through me and the sun the Yond dawns

there is a universe between our navels
there are universes between our rarely parting lips

two flames dancing around on this beach
held in by the sands and the waves
burning as long as we want in constant air
rising-drawing

where in parallel i let go
into you flowing toward your mind
there are ponderings ponding
which give me sigh-quaking
which send you stare-gazing

~ Travis Chaney

The things of the world are constantly changing.

There is a time for things to move ahead,
and a following time for things to retreat;

a time to withdraw internally,
and a following time to expand externally;

a time to grow luxuriantly,
and a following time to decay;

a time to rise up,
and a following time to sink down low.


~ Tao Teh Ching
