Best Assembles Poems
Wrongful ConvictionSweetened dung is shoveled down
gluttonous throats with eager appetites for
alleged misdeeds skillfully spun
into a frenzy of sensationalized hype
by media-seasoned reporters.
.
Seduced by speculation and hearsay,
a jury of pseudo-intellectuals assembles
neatly with moral turpitude tied
smug and tight around rigid white collars
stained heavy with sweat and anticipation.
She stands...

See This GirlSee this girl in the painting, this skinny girl
working on a puzzle at the bottom of the stairs.
With big rimmed glasses and her plain brown hair,
she’s an ordinary girl, with nothing seeming special.
Now see this girl. . . really SEE this girl.
At age 12, she’s...

The Mystery of Before
The morning comes slowly,
first with a faint glow growing
in the sky above the fence,
then lifting to prod the feet
of clouds as if to wake them
and raise their rain heavy weight
up off the horizon.
My body fills the contours
of an old chair, positioned to catch
the...

Mocking BirdThe greatest pretender in the sky
is a thief in wings
and sings and sings in purloined folly.
A burlesque bird first loots a throat
then coddles every stolen note
and assembles every syllable
Then one by one in choral mime
as though true specie in the air
acts with incipit pompous dare.
And...

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 37I heard two distinct voices in the night,
Conversing amongst themselves most eagerly
They whispered like children in excitement
Their sardonic mouths sung many savvy tunes
It was Death I could perceive, defending me,
And he, a strange, distant friend
Seemed lost there,
In suspense and confidence
“It is endearing,...

Little Symbol CheckerKeen amoungst the lore lays symbols laden with, inmeshed.
The lines collasece,
they weave and dress,
and form assembles
we attest.
Now best, we seek, through learning eyes, the ever changing shape's surprise,
to thrive and die,
the feast of pies,
the ripe enchanted taste of fries.
Sweet potato, no doubt.
Least you a lout...
And...

First KissListen with a beckoned ear.
The way a tandem flock
Assembles to the gravity of warmth.
Fearlessly cascading the open sky.
Only to veer for nourishment
Or an unpredictable speck of dust.
A kiss is first science, then art.
Osculating the geometric curves of the fit.
Once true, a kiss becomes abstract to...

The FloodSmiling cities, laughing cities.
The flood came, speaking in loud voices.
Rushing and gushing, taking over houses.
Flagrant abusing the law of gravity,
going up not coming down.
The flood, overflowing the banks,
crossing the bridges,
running over canals,
toping the streams.
The flood came,
a running water.
The flood,
assembles rivers, builds oceans.
A running water,...

Solo FlightIn this valley of earth
the wind
comes with the same gift
the same solitary wind
that carries faith
without speaking
with the same sightless purity
that sees everything
as it is
that causes the same quiver of branches
that have pulled their skins
out of soil and rocks
The wind’s long horn...

Violin"Daydreams, let the music play on as dreams come true." Quote by poet
Beautiful young girl
Listens to a violin playing
As she embraces her loving instrument,
Dreams of playing in an orchestra
The soothing, warm, rich, clear, and relaxing sounds of the violin
While in concerts discipline.
The slow, dips,...
