Heads Up!

Roaring African Diamond, Rolling Thunder, Beloved Warrior—

Cotton’s Violent Cr-owner craving Tougher, Blacker Pickers

praying Brother, Sisters, Mothers, Fathers couldn’t recover

Delight, Comfort, Dignity, Respect, Fortune, Majesty… covered

Blinded Visions, Inhuman Vitriol flowing through Uncivil

Society. Grander Savages casting Shallow Shadows; Ignoble

Secrets. Darkest Templar, Limited Freedom belongs Nowhere.

Vitals

Doctor blinks, breath caught, face goes still.
“Oh,” he says, voice sharp, split.
Hands tremble near charts, numbers all wrong.
Room spins quiet, cold like a grave.
Chest tightens, heartbeat thuds, loud, slow.
How long have I lived this broken?
Sick laughs die. Fear lives in bone.

I Dare You To Praise Him

Never really know what part of Sunday’s
sermon my mind’s eye will lock hold
What portion of the Holy Story will
ignite passion as Pastor’s lucid homoly unfolds
“I DARE YOU TO PRAISE HIM CHURCH!”
and Good Lawd did that church explode
and I sat at the red light -Exposed.

Sheridan Road and Freud street all aboard

Sitting in my therapist office calmly she takes her pen lines it with my forehead between my eyes my eyes make movements back and forth following the pen back and forth a sort of pendulum on a clock back and forth I’m to imagine I’m on a train in a coach watching my traumatic events

Untouchable

We danced all night on Maxwell street 
singing the blues and eating chicago style 
hotdogs driving by Halsted my hair blew in 
the breeze as I winked at the Cermax river 

flowing of winter green this year the infamous green 
mile lounge can be seen in a distance glare after visiting 
Logan square headed straight

The Reckoning

A reckoning, daring taunt bestowed 
my weariness, a covenant catering 
to the boundary, of self why I'd become
 
more open to resolve, life's issues
abundantly, as though life was simply,
a passing fancy, cleverly orchestrated 

to be rehearsed, over and over again 
while I'd gravely, excepted a single 
faint hue, as a quaint challenge
 
flowing as a

Moon Girl

Your arm is Soft like sponge pillow, 

Heavy is the head that rests on;

 Soft but strong, made me embrace loner.

 Serene voice is all you got, deary! 

Your oxygen the fairy has breathe,gem!

 This being none have seen; pretty shorty. 

How I wish this was not...pseudo.

The Poems I Never Wrote

The poems I never wrote are 
all here on my page on this site 
I mean it 
I plagiarised every one of them 
from some wannabe poet
that got expelled back in pre school 
I’ve an excellent memory 
and am a recalcitrant liar 
But now I’m coming clean

No time for homework 
I just wanted to play

Humanimal

Tackled by a stutter murmur of Deus.
The praying ended and packed as threats.
Err, umm, uhh, were cliched by vomits. 
Grasped all the needs and rusty flirts. 
Prune back Sheoak! The cutest green pine.
Pity Sheoak no more green crown again.
Where are Quechua and Sherpa? They go.

Kwansaba

I see a girl in the mirror
A thing of beauty unseen by all
She weaves poetry, and cooks sublime notions
Paints the sky green, the land blue
Twirls on cliffs, tiptoes along its edges
Drama, risks, thrills, that is her life
A thing of beauty unsung by all.

Ruling winds the austral buttes naked slopes ...

                   as vortex smoky rise aloft Zulu's kraal
           

Sushi

There are all kinds of raw fish
that can be used to make sushi.
Orange salmon is quite popular these days.
Try mahi mahi or yellow fin tuna.
Mackerel, and caviar both red and black
Shrimp and surimi are still in demand.
Please don't give me any sea urchin.

Tanzanian Festival

In the bush the dancing begins early 
     Leather drums call from far and near. 
          Steady rhythms mark timed steps, and 
               Swahili is proudly spoken here;
