Best Albumen Poems

Eternal granite, crystalline scree, agates, boulders, rise
to hills, towering tors,* mutinous mountains, endlessly growing
rising, lifted,  then toppled by the fiery rebirth of draconic lava**

Like the cracked shell of an avian egg***/ **** both molten yolk
and watery albumen mark the passage of time, the swings
of...

The sunrise was like a fertilized egg
golden of yolk and flecked with blood,
it crowed to the mist filled morn.
It ran over the hillside frying the vegetation.
The brilliant white albumen flowed
into the vague gray day.

The egg itself blushed at the flattery
extending pseudo pods of white 
like...

I have slept but I have not slept
I have not slept but I have slept
For the first time in two years
I slept without a word of care
No codes, no crossroads
No railroads, no shiploads
No lizards no toads,
No frogs crawling in my throat
I had a digestible supper
Sweet...

Signature

 Append the seal on the opening glee
 Of performance agog with clapping drums,
 The cylindrical bell calling to spirituous mundi
 Screaming flew about in the air;
 Perched on ears
 And pecked on fertile hearts,
 Consider not the frightened feet
 Aching at commencement,
 Wind to...

Pursuit for elusive prey
teases yours truly
into treacherous catacombs
dangerous mentally
challenging pitfalls,

sets small hairs of back
on camp creeks edge
of night, where dark shadows
evoke outer limits
of twilight zone

prompting me constantly questioning
purposefulness, qua hair raising pursuit
embarking these modern roman times
all for naught,
nonetheless I chide self

failing to heed
emotional, mental, psychological...fallout

The sun, going about her daily chores, 
glimpses a new star in the sky, 
one smaller than herself, 
yet strangely familiar.

Used to catching her image first in puddles, 
then growing larger in lakes, 
she at first only sees a stranger, 
then catches herself 

spread in...

Finding acquaintance with women
has put me on a wild-goose chase,
making my mind so water-logged
with gross and unbearable lack of confidence.
Your presence has cancelled these memories
and caused me into an acute Amnesia,
remarkably stimulating me
to attempt an emotional brinkmanship.

You are the center of my personal project
but I...

There once was a poet named Neumann
whose bile went as white as albumen.
He emailed a missive,
his ire derisive, 
attempting to yoke fellow humans. 

His target would not come to heel,
so then it became an ordeal.
Disguised as a contest,
he tried a new conquest;
to poets he made...

...Look, Ma, I'm flying!

When fat, stoned Humpty Dumpty tumbled off that high wall,
He was laughing so hard he scarcely noticed the fall.
He cracked his shell, I'm assumin'
'cause out leaked his albumen and most of his cholesterol.
By some fluke he survived, though more dead than alive,
And...

crackin' eggs into

The world is huge but perceptions must be in one albumen
it matters not the belief and background of other men
atmosphere always created, far from the banana belt
if not only my this, all your that, should simply melt
self is absolute, tolerance is lidded
a contrary perception expressed...

we are the egg they are the knife

the egg shell 
like the body

the egg white albumen 
like the spirit 

the egg yolk like the soul
all others lies in between 

so is the connection of humans
to the universe through spirituality
and beyond

is a pity now
we live in...

See the full moon's bright eye,
Use her as guide.
Imagine her sclera, pupil, and iris
Capture in colors you see fitting on a clear evening.
Cut out her yellow yolk of an egg
Reveal just albumen as if to mix in potent drink.
Look at the moon, it is a...

I'm hounded by a strange curiosity
about kids, parents, about humanity
in glitzy, affluent centers of urbanity
where children are rare in the vicinity;

     backseats of expensive vans and cars
     don't have kids licking chocolate bars,
