Best Kafka Poems
Kafka Conversation"Women are traps
that lay for men
everywhere"
said Franz Kafka,
"in order to drag them into the infinite."
Maybe.
But why not,
Women are incense
that invites men and other women
and all genders everywhere
into the in-between infinite
EarthMother incense
invites
omnisciently enlightened
AnthroMind,
omnipotently empowered

Lighting fragrant dawn
powering fertile dusk....

Kafka Disordered
“Kafka Disordered”
Kafka disordered
never complete
in himself
burning stories
fuel for Nero
dreams of you
reading him
wrapt under
the covers
of his last pages
tattooing his voice
on your tongue
lips pass keys
legs entwined
love notes
never run

Ode To KafkaWhat is this creepy thing
Infecting my body?
Busily digesting my flesh, melting,
The first stages of the blob.
End of my extremities
Swell ominously, wriggling,
Undulating like giant worms
Busily digesting my tissue
I’m becoming what I fear most,
Mistaken for castings
Shoveled up and thrown
On the compost heap....

Death of KafkaI am lying in bed
a dark room, blinded light
I feel like I am dying
I want to drink water while I am dying
the way a lilac does until its final end.
My past is creeping by
some memories are sweet, sweet like apricots
sun ripped
some are bitter, bitter...

A village I can never leave.
Snow covered and stifling....

Kafka Turned RoundDead as a fallen log,
but turned into a human.
A gutbag of small pumps,
red rivers and spilled salt.
Drains, curves and arches
as in a Roman town.
Forced back into life,
stranger than an insect.
Less noble. Lock the door....

GRATEFUL FOR JRANZ KAFKA
The older I grow the more I’m thankful for Franz Kafka
Who…I’ve read…and I’ve been told
Said:
Anyone who keeps the ability to find beauty
never will grow old...

Turn Your Head and Kafkamy days as a
larvae are
largely a
worth
while
living
eating leaves
apart from bark
of fallen trees
life's a lark
except to
mind the
aardvarks and

chimps that
surmise this
stick looks
like a tool
but that's old
school for a
feeling foretold
someday my wings

things untrue

Kafka In The DesertA man wakes beneath an unbroken sky,
the sand whispering riddles to his skin.
He does not know how he arrived,
only that he must explain himself
to a judge who never appears.
The wind carves hieroglyphs in the dunes,
letters shifting before they can be read.
He follows them, searching for...

All Quiet On the Frontal LobesAll Quiet On The Frontal Lobes
A battle was fought: his Medulla oblongata versus an electrical socket.
The electrical appliance distributors made a racket. So did his screams.
But its pure, scientifically certified - who am I to besmirch and mock it ?
From now on his ol' rumbustious...

Me and Kafka's NieceWhen I woke up this morning
I was not in my bed.
I found myself instead
Inside Franz Kafka's head.
He started Metamorphosis,
I thought, 'What is this?'"
There was no panic
I just sat back and watched
A master at his craft
Until my plan was botched.
He noticed me
Inside his head
As...
