Poems II

 stick figures #6

 

as with

 

             finalized determination  wa(i)t(ch)ing  a_wry

             single shard of sunlight carrying with(in) it

             man(uscripts) shredded then re-assembled

 

out of order

 

             sensing available droplets pointed toward absorption

              an utter(t)rance figure(d)-ration(ally) not speaking…

              for no(w) purpose will be (n)(h)eeded

 

gathered around

 

               recently discovered longings too easily summoned

               as though time and natural rhythm ciphered inclusively

               spreading grief equally among forgotten penitents

 

return tr(yst)ip(ping)

 

               re: mor(e)se(or)less, necessity dictates  a re(s)po(n)se

               though nothing awaits upon a_(r)rival

               new (d)alliances, drawn worried lines facing

 

imp(ish)erious remarks

 

               (c)hastening movements directed co/out-wardly

                seized by selfless envy acting methodically

                by day,  (cl)amorous sub-text: ‘run if nomin(ally)(h)ated’

 

27,125 days

happy/sad %’s?

in period correct sepiatone

photo fiction erect posturing

the lack of telepathy a blessiing

passion disguised as industr(y)(ious) modest(l)y

assembling a persona(l) vis_age/ion

freely displayed in public

carefully concealed at home

oddly liberated by war -

finally accepted in passing…

Poems II

par (for the coarse)

 

 mad slide slush fun(d)house of mere roars

tricked out sawed off hipshot flotilla synched to strope flamed spin floors

wide draped pants striped, hands wiped, blood typed just right, piped hype

more doors…

 

5-6 w/ kicks, side split quick pics, find double helix

rest stop white pop, soul note long coat, reach out re-mix

stare at eyes shut, take that god smut, outback church hut

blues licks…

 

misstep in depth  red dress death bless - hide stash

dis-pep noir-esque news desk act rash re:hash

source out bad rep don’t flout school prep out shout bridge lept

bring cash…

 

pay-day en-slaved no way be saved make hay sun-craved

bait switch son’s bitch dug ditch pull stitch don’t snitch get rich

call off white cloth gypsy moth fall soft don’t cough

points shaved…

 

out-rage burn sage free cage torn page ease up Big Boy Cruddup

bottleneck throttled wreck high brow low tech sus-pect wow pow de-tect e-rect

pays lee for me holy see pop-py hero wins chinny chin more fine therein

fucked up…

Poems I
atonal love ballade #1

sideswiped head-on – gridlock friday; quixotic in its shortcut/re-run
stepped on 6 times, disillusion cloverleaf(ed) - raking it in slowly…
the deep green, crew cut lawn belies the fissured mainline - percolating upward…
hoarding e(r)(x)otic emotional dramas:

she climbs the narrow staircase, dragging her feet to forestall seeing her vacant eyes-
reflected in the mirrored door

ascent, odious to those fore/aft, hind-sighted around perfect corners
rejected as second to none; wherefore worse astrology prevails for past-life romantics
aggressive globule strategy cites (per)empt(or)y-nest syndrome: mothers as drug mules of choice
celebrating the platitudinous as they are levitated to the throne – a kindness/comfort to those more worthy?
(d)earth(‘s) (en)core-elated (exi)(syn)(a)tonic, liquid centrifusion = hot top carpeted terrain

reaching behind  for a water glass, fumbling along the sideboard upon which it rests –
emotional collapse smiles at the prospect of hydration, determined to enter the nether zone with defiance…

imagination untethered, might allow one to ponder the many souls that pass them by each day
turning one’s head is not the same as head turning – the former is away from – the latter toward…
sun-sit on the marble steps until the dollar in your pocket resides in the coffers, entitling you to a clip on button & the choice of Balthus; Miró – both/and>
sub-a-tonic balm offered up in formless waves, soundscaped by streetboppers may-be:
the zenith uncompr(omised)(hended)/unfettered

a genius from Bedford-Stuyvesant – offered the medius, not a warm hand…
overlo(a)(r)d of beauty, m(a)(i)ssive for one life/world – antigen(ius) under stocked to sustain him in this way
art(‘s) heart(h) you are: art_hur(led) – caught by few – rh(a)(y)mes with flames-to go up in…
bandshell banshee free(s) music; bop vivant avant garnered love in life’s death.

cognition reel – 45 second samples of  a_war(e)(i)ness sprung  forth – in line with denial
lunar tricks, fringe to radius: the loneliest sphere m’funk  de-re-struct(ur)ed
a sound like warm ice shards; crystal buccaneers tramp lightly along the cycle - track 1 is a blues
stack of 45(s) caliper revolving clockwise, c(h)ambers a_round – track 2 is a barnburner
are their aims true?
