Long Amnion Poems

"The Reptilian Anthropocene"



The Reptilians
war daily 
enrobed in their
stiff distinction suits
rainbow coloured badges 
pinned to their lapels
they beat their breasts 
and oily palms
profiting from all 
the soft-boiled 
foxes on the run
cerebral cortex bound
thinking they are free-willed
and...

Wobbly I stood and wobbly I remain -

The sole  of my Soul untested and untried

Not trusting the firmament on which its stability stands.

So I must reach.




For a kind hand, a rock to assuage my...

Migrants on the move from violence
their only possession
breath-space on a smuggler’s boat
secured with back-bent harvests 
in pretzel-bent systems
weight of crates of strawberries 
hoisted on hell-bent backs
just trying to reach Spanish-shores’-east 
from Moroccan beach with a...

Jesus Christ was here ,
in another womb, holy and viable,
He trusted His mother without fear
Unlike his unloved, unborn disciples.

Oh you, little ones, who are one of these,
The essence of innocence,
Tetrarchs of the womb, teachers of...

Introspection 

suspends in dark blue amnion
as rainwater blooms a reflection pool
an oasis of energy for contemplative embryo;
in stillness I grow.. my pulse a flowing stream of raindrops 
my body  the rhythm maker  ...

Into the abyss
I look in to see 
Peeking over, to discern 
Her looking up at me. 

Reptile cold and slithe,
I slither through the dewy blades,
And writhley race across the glade.
A lumping creature, 
Limpling, legless loping,
Filled...

In this dream I held a doll, yet an empty shell 
Your soul filled it with life; I felt the quickening
The next week mom felt your tiny wings fluttering 
Unforeseen test results turned our heaven...

Signs versus shadows in city
of reasons burst amnion.
White cranes manipulate black clouds,
smudge the nomenclature.

I want to become deaf
in grazing blasts. Young lovers
dance on machetes; nifty wounds
of red alpines.

Thieves loot the basket of zodiac,
death on tall...

A snowman
Watches from his globe
Eager to please, you
Longing to belong
Fearful of blending 
into your background
Waiting

He watches 
You come and go
In your great big world
It’s indulgent detail
He’s molded
Patented smile
Comfortably drowning 
In an amnion
Of dated luster
Behind a...

Your warmth is like a womb's amnion ambience
Your light is supreme reassurance
Your manna is my sustenance.

I trust in thee implicitly
I am elated with your glee
I am awed by the power of your simplicity.

They who would...

O Bactrian, my champion,
the burdens you must bear.
Unwanted eyes and forceful tries,
to scale the heights up there.
No dromedary would you be,
were I to cut a lump from thee.
Since forming in the amnion,
your inner parts and...
