Words of My Ancestors

...By moonlight when the moon shone with all her majesty, 
My ancestors told us the story of the Tiger,
Which crouched at every rumble of the jungle-thunder,
Either out of fright or from bravery;

...Your car fishtailed in the slush
that was already 
beginning to freeze,
as if you couldn’t wait 
to get away after
dropping me off at

on Christmas Eve.

I had just started readi...

October Nips

...Busty shaped and large of hip
the busy winds of October
buffet my brain
within its whistling cave.

Around the shoulders
of every lumpy molehill
taverns and tankards
bloom in a russet corner ...

...Rippling soil sways in ways
In ways a maestro drunkenly
Displays their baton, Earth in
Perfect fluid Earthen motion
It conducts and plays en tandem
The symphony of syrup season
Rings through Ve...

She wrote

...With a pen she wrote a story,
Stretched across her old notebook.
About a girl who wanted to be noticed,
And a boy who refused to look.
And she wept and wept and wept,
Leaving an inky, tear-sodde...

The Clatter of Dancing Toes

...
Let us waltz in the moonlight
where the scatter bugs bleep
there we shall twinkle
and occasionally leap.

For are we not nice.
cheesy as Gruyère,
vim full of chuckles
and devil-may-...

Passionate

...Pulling this wagon by the scruff of my neck,
is like relaxing cross-legged on feeble bike handles.
The gentle gusts of your hurricane dazzle me.
Humouring the limitless requests of an oxymoronic c...

Some Temples

...In the far Far East,
a few strange Hindu temples are intricately carved,
& are most pornographically exuberant,
everywhere there are wrathful-playful-sexual-

Dancing On

...Dancing on the edge of oblivion with you,
Waltzing, whirling drunkenly
Like children intoxicated with motion---
I see your eyes searching mine,
Sparkling with possibility---
As if to ask, "Are w...

Good Friday

...GOOD FRIDAY 

The expression of man's unutterable malignity
is the Cross which stripped Christ off all dignity.
But the memoirs of glorification forever will stay.
Why isn't it called "Bad Frida...

Gait

...My gait spasmodic
I staggered drunkenly
My inner voice a thousand tongues
Of crazed cacophony

In mumbling incoherence
My muddled mind benumbed
I sought the words I fumbled for
As if I were s...

Untouched By Tempests

...A drug crazed world spins on ever faster.
Bodies tumble out of that carousel
never to be seen again.
Once whirling dervishes twirled
now they stagger and fall drunkenly.
Molestation hangs in the...

Volunteer

...Need volunteers in the Army?
Here’s what they do
Just line up a squad and say
You, you, and you.
Nobody bothers to think
Or even to ask 
Whether you have the knowledge 
Or ability to carry out...

God Misplaces the Dead

...They were accounted for,
they were officially dead,
but the alarming fact was
that large numbers of the dead
had gone missing.

Occasionally, still pinging cellphones
were found in Hades, Purg...
