Best Alley Poems

Early rain falls gently

like your fingers 

running softly through my hair

in our cabin down the valley

The wind breathes lightly 

like your lips 

treading kisses  on my neck

as I keep humming merrily

Crimson poppies bow in silence

whilst I walk down the lane

I cross over the bridge

Gifting us a green canopy,

oaks bow with old South gentility.

Beside the Zhuque Bridge wild flowers bloom lonely, 
On the Wuyi Alley the setting sun beams serenely. 
The swallows that once nested in halls of the noble,
Have now flown into the simple homes of the humble.

All that time will do 
is install you
in comfortable stockings.

The wind howls away the years.
Foxes hunt even while we sleep.
The binding is broken.
The straps are disconnected.

Wind carries away
even massive objects.
It is the tornado of life.
Chunk chunk
Clink clink

The mind keeps puffing
like a steamer.
Even pine trees are...

Dark alleys call me

cold mist gets inside my clothes ~

I sleep shivering....

Red tape maps certain ugly areas not yet examined properly 
as the bad paths are clearly marked as worthless dust blown away 
over a passage of time we need to live within the strength of obedience 

To the very letter perfectly constructed 
put into figures...

In the moon I see you beautiful face, it glows love
The stars tell of your smile, that inspires me to write 
Beautiful purple skies paint the scene for memory lane, of when we kissed
I miss holding you, looking at you, singing to you and telling...

The moon sunk her teeth in a sky of black,
Over city backdrops and the scent of crack,
Neon spilled burning through traffic veins,
Dead man's handles on subway trains.
I tasted of acid in the end of night,
Snow descended dirty, off-white, 
Staring through curtains at six a.m.,
Into the...

A slow funeral dirge loops through my head as I bend the reeds
of wild alley weeds in my old neighborhood, pausing to listen
to the drunken diatribes hurled by the shell of a man, 3-houses
down…praying I won’t be seen. 

Newcomers don’t often visit, the same faces...

Our two funny limmerists are at it again
Clucking about like two mother hens
Jack's chemise is just wrong
Can't look at John's thong
Hey ya two cowpokes, when's this all going to end...
