Best Reattached Poems
The Aswang FableDay quickly fades into a fearful silent night
Frightful because within the darkness evil comes to life
Abomination that became legend as legend became myth
The Aswang
The wicked epitome of sin
Beautiful by day but a shapeshifting demon in disguise
It has a long disgusting tongue with unspeakable desires
Blood thirsty...

My Red WagonChristmas, me in my red wagon
Slogging in tears, later you forget
Am I a full person?
Blown black pepper stings your eyes
You strike me, the ambivalence aches
Covered mouth laugh-sharing from now on
Reattached you escape childish dreams
I offer to banish parts of me
Warriors on the horizon, plump and...

To the Man Who Almost Killed MeDon’t involve me in your suicide!
Did you see me coming,
On that lonely alpine bend?
Nowhere to turn,
Cliff wall to the right,
River to the left.
I hit the brakes,
But you kept coming.
Just stay in your lane!
The A.M. shift would miss me this morning.
Instead, they would pry me from...

Life From CancerCancer had taken her hopes and dreams.
All pain gone, we felt her relief.
From another plane, her heart
Leapt with unbridled joy
Reattached again
To her Soul Mate
Finding her
Sassy
Self...

Laura Norder 2 - New Balls PleaseLaura Norder took her gun and strapped it to her thigh
The skirt she wore was so damned short she had to strap it high
And stood there on the corner where the street lamps dare not tread
She waited for the man who had perversion in his...

Where the Karanda Is Wildthe farmer knows the earth,
her cycles of preparation and harvesting,
the moon's tide and
Joseph's dream: the years of plenty
and the years of famine;
we live in the time of destruction:
Kali Yuga
growth is change and space must be made
for its planting
wild geese flying in formation leave no impression

The Faeries Save the DayBy the light of the pinkest prettiest orange moon Faerie folk had ever seen,
There was a haze such as the elves could have invented, but maybe not.
It was the magical bewitching hour, and the meadow was dampish, and keen.
The nymphs had put their butterflies away,...

Low slode-hand
I cant explain the fierce pain
Detached reattached no change to spare
Wild and free and then god help me
Challenges inept

Torpedo submarine full secret in deep
Save me from myself

They were...

The Last BellSenses untamed,
spaces to reign
Bodies that die,
spirits to fly
By length or by width,
time is a myth
Dimension aground,
essence refound
Eyes looking forward,
eyes looking back
Eyes looking inward,
soul reattached
All that was spoken,
providence sings
Grand sublimation,
—last bell...

WhyWhy has she fed me with lies?
Why does she not truly reply,
to my voice, which we once both shared?
Has it been wiped off, the face of the earth
Or has she wondered off
with another kind.
Why is our string cut?
Why can't it be reattached?
Are we done for...

Still TryingIt rained
And then it pained
I wanted it to rain but now I'm scared
Tears never stopped
Why is it so complicated
My heart ached
Uncontrolled, captivated
I waited,
Maybe I will dream, I hoped
Still never did leaf reattached
Never did moonlight lit up the sky, shattered...

Steam Train RideThe whistle blows, the chugging starts -
A steam train ride in France -
For those who like to try things
From the past, this is your chance.
Since when it’s time to turn around,
The leading car’s unlatched
And driven to a turntable
Before it’s reattached.
The locomotive then gets cranked,
By...

Lost GirlI havent written about him since the day i said goodbye.
When i reattached his shadow so he could fly across the sky.
I hadn't spoken a word to anyone I knew .
Afraid of what People would think if I spoke my truth. ...
