All my life I’ve had bad eyebrows
It’s an enduring family trait
They just seem to boldly sprout
More and more each passing day.
I could never be a vain man
With a pair like those
Dominating me forehead
And the bridge of me nose.
As a young man I endured
With many a suppressed sigh
Each new acquaintance examining
The bold growth above each eye.
I’d hack them with a razor
Then realise with a curse
By making them uneven
I’d only made them worse.
Sadly I’ve still got them
Sprouting merrily away
Bit now at least at my age
They’re a more subdued grey.
All my life I’ve had bad eyebrows
Life garden hedges running wild
Bushy, jet black and capable
Of subduing any unruly child.

Don't let anyone
with bad eyebrows give you life
advice - it ends badly.
I don't mind seeing my ex with
someone else - I usually donate
unused things to the less fortunate.
I wonder how many
calories I burn jumping
to wrong conclusions.

Eyebrows on noses and whiskers on women
Large rats and wombats that suckle my kitten
Penguins that waddle in hot sulfur springs
These are a few of my befuddled things
La da, di da da
Piglets that paddle in puddles of poodles
Parrots that prattle for peanuts and noodles
Wild things that fly in the face of my fan
These are the things that I chase when I can
La da, di da da, li da da, li da da
Rabies and robbers and nights in Havana
Babies that slobber on bites of banana
Fickle young fingers in pickles and kraut
These are the things that my life is about
When the elephant stomps
When the Man-o-war stings
When I'm feeling small
I simply remember my old mattress springs
And then I can't jump
At all!
La da, di da da, li da da, li da!

she has stars for eyebrows
her phonetic smile says so much more
tightly wrapped in the grey gaunt gauze of daylight
eyes still closed
i wait arms breadth away for her
to breath
to open
while mind touches upon her journey
while pieces parts of her epiphany are spoon fed
like chocolate grace into my feasting and willing heart
i am the succulent afterword
to her speech now uttered in its completion
...with its grand street ballroom
upon which we
all in our time of giddy laughter
need to dance like royalty or fools
...with its back alley rainwater
that washes away all those terrible yesterdays
i am the sweat mongerer who waits
for her sleeping to be roused
transcendental she sleeps
with a soft drink
while i nourish
in the folds of her slumbering dreams

I sense some roughness, grey hairs strew
jagged eyebrows, jagged view
Lord, let me sense the pure of you
and all forsaken, is brand new!
A line now centered, frown's adieu
a grimace bent ~ toothless review
unholy glaring at construe
what made this fetished look of stew!
Some troubles notice, worries mew
a smile could hasten face's renew!
Oh, heart please chasten, comfort true
this look replace, with hope's redo!

Beneath the eyebrows, windows.
When I was a child- fresh of life;
Seasons flew past my watching,
Mountains of newness grew before me-
-And I conquered Everest...
Ran like the wind,
Now;
Taken like an autumn leaf-
Weathered and ready for composting;
They give us mood, gesticulation;
Always moving, eyes are on us-
Tell me a story of your ways; what did you see?
Just now or many years ago.
Windows-
To earth, arriving home
Sitting on its clay- waiting
Watching-
Beneath the eyebrows,
Through windows fixed once,
So I could continue to see my view;
A way of life- real and lived in full.
These I will leave to watch over you,
My spirit and soul are my vision now.
