Long Cadmium Poems

Take me to the tombstone 
let me touch the gray stone that stands
where life could not
I will put my face to that touchstone of deaf thunder,
What happened  to your breath baby brother,
what happened in...

“Possessed”



The scarlet of her heart opens
where she blooms deepest
from the cuts 
of Past’s insanity
her windows 
full green undressed
him, in his mind;
he confessed,
in quiet reflection, 
he had lost his head
irrevocably -
and taking his brush
dipped it in...

"Purgatory is a Poem"



Words are the pieces
in a game we play
shadow and light 
hidden from day
poets are nocturnal
in nature, stasis, 
keen and hungry
listening to 
Forever
stuck between 
the doors to
Past, Now and Never -
senses feral 
and...

When my hair was tied in two tails 
I frolicked about the warped trunk of a willow 
As the cicadas serenaded in the summer’s heat
The tree held me in its low arms
I watched nature pulse

Shivering sullen, silent all the time.
Suffering, wisdom, alone and sublime.
Where, O my oracle, shall I begin?
Blanch, light of Sin, nickel, cadmium, tin.
Hollow are hearts in the hill-towns, and why?
Dreams are a mystery passing us by!
Doom,...

"When I stand with this silence
between us all, we are still never here --
and then I move and your whole world
shifts, and there you are.  We were."

Gustav, how you pique the senses

lovers twined in percale folds

october brushed by

 in the midst of an october sunrise
 bearing splashes of colors beyond description
 like a thick acrylic paint mixture
 crimson with cadmium yellow
 thrown…scattered like seed…by the hand of god
 morning unfolds...

Concrete Idea

Metal falls from the sky without sound
Bluish white cadmium and nickel 
Trees follow in their shadow
Disintegrate on contact
A simple thermometer reads common thoughts
When in a dream of water
But this is an element of surprise...

My eyes are half closed for I fear to see
what worry and anxiety have made of me.
All day I have been twisted out of shape,
wincing at my disheveled appearance.
Life has taken a toll with its...

CONTAMINATED

                 Contaminated
Don’t understand it
Fell in sewer, can’t stand it;
Live and dead rats raccoons;
Walkin, floatin
Dirty, polluted waters
Manure other unspeakable sources
Don’t...

The kids today have a lot more responsibility,
therefore, some are quite precocious before they are
three,
They refuse to be told what to wear, and have an affinity
for designer gear,
The young ones are quite competent in taking...

Sit unflinching in a slumbered pose
each exhaled breath like a moor's mist,
a rhythmic pulse like a metronome 
on the thin temples throb 
like a snare drum's distant beat
but closer...much closer.

Yet watch the candle flame's heat,
curving...

There’s a hell of a lot going on inside my mind
I wish I could tell you everything
The way you
always used to listen.

I wish I could run to you and share all of it
From my tiniest...

A tsunami of black ash blankets half a world
Trash toadstool hoodoos, wastelandic pillage
and pollutant mucus ravishes lava villages
Draining is the amalgam mass at the end of the spectrum
Stone environs shock, unnatural landscapes 
Polyethylene islands flushing...

God Painted the Heavens
"Divine Masterpiece"

The sky was shrouded dark and spiritless

God thereupon painted the heavens

Mixing and blending amber and lemon hues

with the brightest bright,

flickering fire behind the waves of clouds



then,


drawing a straight line on the...
