Best Shunting Poems

born under the sea, an irresistible force
  two bodies reluctantly embrace, shunting, shifting, tectonic drifting
  alongside the southern Iapetus Ocean
  equatorial deep-time child of Laurentia and Avalonia
  journey northward, surfacing, submerging
  surfing the waves again, a colder Hibernian dalliance

I stand solo, aloof in the snow, a precipitation 
                     of words cascading from a nebulous eye 
Fathoms wide, forever dripping like wax onto

Once there was an intellect called smoke, the philosopher
Architect of a new republic of peace by dare
Shunting viruses by tolerance
Eliminating interferences by endurance
Bloody this domain is for gladiators...

			Stock

Lines derail trains made from stern stock
    shunting worsted words in wagons to and fro
cabins depleted by looters piled on dock
    signals distressed faces not any more  

	forefathers shape not their twisted progeny
	when foremothers shunt them out of...

Take out the caked grimy faucet plug

Let those unseen crawlies dive and duck

It so early it's only four o'clock and it's dark on a freezing cold and wet morning,
A man with a cap rings a bell to let us know times getting on and dawn’s dawning,
As the bell rings all the lights on at Billingsgate Market famous...

Heavy the hoods of the eyes
  that laboured the scan of horizons
Heavy the course of the thoughts
  that sat unstirred on the sill of the stare

Heavy this ancient bottomed nose
  sitting in judgment over this meat
Endlessly shunting the frenzied workers

Butterflies and Dragonflies

Butterflies and dragonflies flutters in daze,
all around, remaining oblivious to the maze !
Their little world of nectar, pollen and flowers,
giving more than it takes as it squats and hovers !

Seem to know about seasons and  weather -

Search for existence spreads thin
Our gasoline days numbered by the sun
While collection hounds scour zombie minds
Striving for fact and nimble opportunity
Institutions shunting brick and mortar
Each road running against walls of fate...

I.

Rushing ocean, rushing
Forward, and tell me 
Where my name 
Began.

Where the sand became
A divide,
A father a friend,
A partner in suffering
Bleeding together
Through a sad, sorry 
Kitchen in a cabin
On the beach
Where the water 
Rushes, rushes towards 
My mother, desperate 
And proud and 
I the gatherer,
The obedient...

Soul, slow down your flight
A kindred soul dare to delight
In  your tryst when you hold her tight
 
Savouring every breath, every moment
Shunting aside pain and torment
Shutting out a callous comment
 
When your priorities say yes
Bless contours on tours that grace
The face so graceful it...
