Long Braising Poems

The typewriters tap,
with a rat-a-tat-tat,
like a fourth estate rap
to provide us the pap
(that serves as a snack with a rat-a-tat-tat)
in a newspaper scrap
crammed with meaningless crap
from the editor's yap
(spewing flimflamy flak, booming rat-a-tat-tat)
after gashing a...

braising thoughts arose as my lifeless 
body huddled in a fetal position i' d completed 
thirty hail mary's an yet my macerated flesh 
lay still as the sun began
to settle embedding itself almost oh how...

Troubling the soul
When all things seem to be untold, left to one day unfold.
To visit and no one is there. No one seems to care. What has become of you?
 What has become of me?...

One impulsive Saturday morning in Autumn 
Quail eggs take all the blames
		Quail eggs from Laguna Farmer’s market

Unspeakable -  what to do with these weird eggs?   Later 
that night, FIRST 
home-made dinner

My mind hungered the untimeliness 
of shattered existence above all grave 
battered thoughts sullen whispers quiet 
hushes I employed to write to empty 

oneself into an invisible crowded realm 
ecstasy of the soul craving my...

Who says Love-braising is easy

Growth and affinity
crave

An elusive trigger
A split second of blast

Courage to proclaim.  Mindfully.  Courage to launch
Courage to ache

Courage to apologize.   Awakening.  Courage to accept and respect
A long...

the pots the pans
your dirty hands
clean the counter
and the floor
wait for supper
clean each area as a chore.
clean your face,

This is for you big guy 
somewhere way up 
in that beautiful sky  
sweet oleanders danced 
the universe collided 
sweeping you throughout 
this grand galaxy soaring

With mild mannerism 
I catered to the 
emptiness while my 
mind wandered effortlessly 
through memoric findings 
finishing my thoughts 
whispering from beyond 
calling out to me braising 
white noise voices withered 
screeching squeals shrills 
witnessing...

Swish swash, swish, swash 
Back and forth, to and fro
You must keep steady watch 
Or you'll be gone before you know

To witness is a gift
To experience, a blessing
Surrender control, and drift
Be moved with no contesting...

eagerly i followed my path
dangling so i suppose 
beneath the quaint notion
the tranquil gestures

i'd become lost wandering away 
from calm pastures
while i pateintly awaited 
thee emptiness

about the braising shores
abruptly the shadows form
between the four o'clock...

in full coat of red
he postures  
shakin'  
his feathers
in full view

moon braising the horizon  
eyes burning with lust

he stood over the mare 
a braising sable dancing
throughout the fields
of arlington heights a harness racing

thee annual competition
his eyes grazed the stallion
apon entering the arena
silence aboded

as pete climbed aboard
his frail bones clanged harshly
breathless painful panting...
