Garbled Poems

Eulogy for a Crow

...I've made up my mind
going to clean out the attic today
leaving nothing but cobwebs behind...
photos of people without names
car seats -chrome tables - baby rattle snakes
dented pots and pans 
...

Amplitude in a Small Apartment

...There is a need for quietness today,
I listen to my neighbor's toilet flush,
it takes a long time for the sound
to drain away and refill,
I hold seconds inside my mind
between that rise and fall...

Tilting Decks

...The year I became seasick
I lived in a bungalow on the edge
of a wilderness moor.

The sky and land
grappled together
for supremacy of my soul,
Inner dogs whined,
my eyes were portholes
wher...

Enigma: Echolalia

...Just a girl child, just a woman.
After all's said or done - a human
running  through open mind fields
patched with white wheat yield.
Seeds sown groan-grown
piecemeal pockets among throngs
of l...

Layers

...Life is built in layers:
layers of cells
layers of learning
of garbled words
and bruised steps
wingless flight
layers of temporary players
in and out of lives 
the mania and bliss of it all
...

Come-Again Ben

...The werewolf hunter came to town to help the people fight
The moon was getting larger and would soon be full and bright
Those vicious hairy beasts would savage townsfolk all night long
But now the...

A perfect triangle pretending to be right

...

A perfect triangle
As he stood in the shadow
Of the dead eye windows of his home
His face alway up
Stars or cries of cloud
his theatre
The sounds that based from his neon lit blue ears
He ...

Blocked

...To be blocked, it’s black and white or grey as a rock.
You can exist and be present, like floating particles in the air,
no mudslinging expressed but someone will make it their nosy affair.
Then a...

Cascading Consciousness

...Oh painful pain lingering
throbbing unjoyously
flaunt that false grin again
bring me terror of the unstable mind
where rabid horses trample garden gates
where pampered vines bleed broth and sap
...

I Am

...I am
Wednesday morning trips to the local library with my mom and younger siblings,
Wandering wondrous paths through bookshelves bustling with books.
Exploring, savoring, lingering inbetwixt parag...

The Gs Have It

...glib glassy green-eyed gruesome ghoulish goblins grabbing gloriously
glitzy glimmers of gourmet garnish.  Giants give garbled ghosts gruff
growls.  Gargantuous groups of glamorous gargoyles give gr...

Bardliner Notes

...Don’t do the rhyme if you ain’t got the time.
Nothing is worse than a half-finished verse.
If you want to complete her, you’ll need a good meter.
(‘Tis said that the bard brought the girls to the ...

Mine Courtship and Marriage With Deadly Obsession

...Mine courtship and marriage with deadly obsession...

As September daze will soon arrive
recollections from a 
psychologically checkered  past
loom large recalling  
tragic storied days of mein...

Leech

...You are a total leech 
sucking what is good for you;
Plagued with pitiful speech 
always mumbled and garbled;
Never had a far enough reach,
you embarrass yourself;
Thieves always hide what’s tr...

Staring Off Into Space

...Out of his mind
  lost all control
Whither his soul

Mad as can be
  completely insane
Whereto his brain

Garbled speech
  making no sense
Illogic dispensed  

Here he comes now
