Long Bottom(a) Poems

The day after the mutiny incident:
DJ again pitched his idea. 
He gathered the Older children 
Again, "Okay everybody we have
To make up to Dad Ma and Auntiema.
Today."  The children remained 
In the large kitchen...

Part 3

They quickly learned... there was cause for concern
     As the lifeboat was barely afloat.
When the Atheist turned and swiftly discerned,
    "A large Hippo is swamping our boat."

Tumbleweed Billy And One Eyed Sam

Banked off jagged hills, pushed on by memory
Cause and effect took turns churning the sidewinders
Tumbleweed Billy and One Eyed Sam (The patron Saint of snake eyes)
Dragged down from on high...

Ah Frontiera, here we are at your last, you've thrown a rod, your life lies black
on oily ground - all this snow and you're a mobile no longer; so I must walk.

It's cold, and now...

I heard the voice of the well,
I approached the curb,
There was black sooty,
It was probably your call.

As a low message
From the depths,
The narrow circle of the shipwreck,
From your former splendor ...

I bent, but not for...

Clutching
The end of my Zebco rod and reel
As the cast of tackle is flung
Like a small knot of costume jewelry
Skimming atop the caramel-colored Grand River
Dragonfly rattling awry

The vibration tingling in the palm of my hand
As...

So your youth has long gone and you’re feeling your age
And you squint at the print on the optician’s page
Hallway mirrors are banned cos you know they tell lies
And there isn’t a laptop that comes...

Six titles,
Twelve number one
Contenders..
Best out four falls
If there is a draw 
A ten minute finale
Will deside the winner

Four barrels(oak)
Filled with sand
At the bottom a 
Title belt and contract
For a title match.
The tagtitles will be
Seperated in...

The Well

The Watcher watches all the watchers, for the Watcher knows
That what the watchers are watching, is something to behold.

But what are they watching? The Watcher can’t tell.
For it appears to be only a plain...

A string wrapped around a spindle
Unwinding as an hourglass marks time
Sand trickles to the chamber below
marking the moments of my life not truly lived
I hear the clock ticking

A string wrapped around a spindle
Unwinding as an hourglass marks time
Sand trickles  to the chamber below
Marking the moments of my life 
Questioning “have you truly lived”
The sound of silence drives me mad
The hourglass drags...

A crow was tired flying the whole day
in the scorching summer sky of parched May,
searching relentless for some food,
became thirsty to the bone like a log of dry wood.

On the flight back to the distant...

It was weekend when I set off, to go fishing by the lake,
Not too far from the house, about 6 hours drive it would take.
I arrived there early morning and booked my usual spot,
The morning...

A trilogy of love: bared, shared, pared
Lust's shallow wave crests, cascades, crashes
Deeper, emotive swells rise, rumble, release
Conflicting currents form rip tide tugging, tossing, tearing

Amor's undulating rhythms pulsate
Low tide, latent fantasies surface ego to ingratiate 
High tide,...

Water cascading over stairs of stone
Quietly thundering whoosh of glistening blur
Cool and sweet, giddy and dizzy, falling free
Tumbling, swirling, whirling in the warm sunlight
Plunging, splashing, crashing, spiraling downward
Over roughly smoothed rocks of time…

Exploding at bottom;...

On a beautiful June morning very early we made our way down to the fields,
The men had scythes to ring in all the bustle for the annual hay harvests,
We were a merry bunch and we...

Not knowing if she could mend her life just tossed
There was nothing at all left but this one silver cross
This was life biggest theft for it...

There in plain view a secret box
That held all his letters
Remants of your favorite flower
One to like, well never 

At the bottom a plane ticket
To a destination
Undesired, frozen Alaska
Total aberration

Why hold onto dead love letters?
Or...

A deep pit, a crumbling edge,
at the bottom, a pool swarming with sauropods.
There is someone, a boy.
I shouldn't have taken the child here.
I'm slipping, taking him with me;
he won't let go of my hand.
We are...

Things that seduce the sanity.
They come and go as...

Absence of color, falling like fierce rain.
Cool breeze chilling the face to intense pain.
Dead tree standing looking like a twisted mess.
