Long Bareness Poems

this barren page, screaming, crying
	yelling through the winds,
		inviting me to begin again,
always, to just begin
	again and again, tempting my pen
tempting me to just begin, begin
	A G A I N

this infertile soil, empty page – white...

Awoken by sudden flashes of painted bricks slipping into my skin
I hid inside the newly bare nail beds
chewing on carbon copies of myself 
my teeth clicked

scrubbing the rythm and blues desk 
iron blood 
and pipping...

Nationalism,
nation supremacy,
rooted in competing patriarchal capital rivalries,
is entirely incompatible with EarthPatriotism
rooted in loyalty to cooperatively healthy matriotism

Wherever MotherEarth may yet be healthy climate rediscovered
in sensory input and outputs of a child
unbound breathing in enculturing good...

My mind has been spinning, since toxin contamination
I have been caught in a web of deception and corruption
Searching the landscape, for words to describe this nightmare
The toxins sickened my healthy dog and I like an...

I lie, naked, cast aside in the shadows,
My flesh, bare, crumbles among the carcasses of half-dying thoughts.

I stare upon myself—
Is this truly I,
This forsaken creature,
Smiling with bitter contentment at my eternal decay?
Is this endless humiliation
Truly...

Barren oh barren,
Who are you?
To suck away the pride in a woman’s cradle?
Healers attempted to resolve u with vague riddles!
A deadly monster you are, BARREN!
Tell me who gave you that WARRANT?
To deny someone the joy...

I am in a short deep sleep
Before you wake me. 
I am in my shivering silence
Before I feel your gentle touch in my tan skin. 
You know that because I am in my bareness.
You're afraid...

I drifted to this place	 
When might I drift away?			
Am lost in time and space		
Cold feet encased in clay		

Afraid.  I am offbeat			
Next year I will as well		
Shamefully repeat			
Tucked inside my shell			

Are false masks better...

Standing upon centre's stage as the crowd became frenzied amid anticipation 

Wild in abandonment as their naked bodies began to dance within the aisles 

Shouting in revelry this festivity celebrating the end of summers, dawning

There's a sullen bareness in the atmosphere, almost as if the breaths have all receded to a stop and the world has slowed down on its axis. 
Laziness drips like honey all over the place...

"Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces" 
Brought me to a cemetery that had many creases,
I walked the graveyard of my mind last night,
I saw many people sleeping tight,	
I saw the ones that...

He wanted stark, she wanted mess.
Bareness irritated her, he insisted on no paintings.
He loved their boring black and white life.
She wanted color, pizazz, flair.  He did not.

But wait, she lived here too, right?
She dragged...

I am trying to find the words to say,
The ones that dismantle feelings of dismay,
The ones that cut chords from youthless graves,
The ones your prophets said would save,
I am trying to get the courage to...

For I know what Adam went through
From God, to me...Father, thank You
First time he looked at Eve 
In Eden
Rubbed his God given, overwhelmed eyes
Saw her feet, legs, walking in bareness, her thighs 
Ravishing, her standing...

defining it to be the paradise of cooperation without suspicion. 
I pressed play and she agreed to join in this equation 
we attempted to be, briefly and ever...

 The crimson sun against the smoky sky
 The speckles of villages from mountains high
 When everything is covered...

The wild night awakens from the dream of an imploding inferno,
Stretching lazily, with tangled strands like waves of darkness,
Tossing aside the serene blankets of the full golden winter moon,
To dance barefoot on frozen floors, like...

One auspicious morning warned me of nakedness

I felt, what actually is ‘bareness’!

Our bodies are all covered

But mind? It is blocked, corrupted ever,

Nude, selfish, artificial, ruler!



Since we grasp a flower,

We smell it, also we do admire,

She...

I might forget you for a little while

but when the last desert hues of sunset roses

wrap the bareness of these arms

Out of nowhere and without reason I think of you

Darkness falls and so my tears
