Long Capillaries Poems

My grandparents' grandparents,
all sixteen,
digging roots through cultural meristems,
young adults,
adolescents during Time's 1880's,
post Civil War birth of Sir James Crow monoculture.

What would we name this self-hatred,
this lack of compassion and gratitude for help
for human nature's lavish...

The mistake I had never expected,
I did it without getting into awareness
Of how it would react.
Lacking that girl in me is like lacking
Of soul in my lonely body
Honestly speaking, she is my helm,
Stark, she is...

I arrived clothed in sheer veil
from whence I came I soon forgot
It’s a girl… they cheered!
I was surrounded by smiling faces of loved ones
waiting to unteach all I already knew.

My eyes opened to beauty
and my...

My POETRY SOUP EASTER POEM for April 10, 2017:

 I.
 Some Say Easter; but can you spare Him a glance?
It’s Jesus Christ Time; Always Jesus time for real Living 
Ecce Homo! Pontius Pilate said, with...

Here we are again
still
remembering our fair share of mutually invested identity,
where dreams swim to fuse together,
DNA with RNA eco-wombs written across the heart of all four sacred seasons
of star song's tidally ebb and flowing moon...

Water, in a protein sense,
salt and other substances,
make up plasma, which, in kind,
account for half of blood's design.

A mammal's blood is red and bright,
-from oxygen, when mixed inside.
Because of an iron-filled kind of protein,
Hemoglobin, it's...

Fake smiles everyday when I'm away now that you're not here.
Life feels so listless, so dim.
The candle that you lit has faded as it's meant to,
But it also struck a match to light in another's...

Flash of light enormous, pass through the sky
Pilgrims to different sites in accord with season’s cry 
Exactly on the same flyway for ages they fly;
Bar-headed Geese in flight dwell in sky infinite
They live in central...

Goose and purple i saw it strung up in a window in chicago
I saw factories written in your eyelashes and hair and industrialization vomited 
Limp and edible bruised and calling
Geese sing every morning and they...

Ah! I said
I’ve visited you twice
In the sea of Oneness
Which I too am
But yet
It’s your turn now
And so it was
The Universe descended
Through the crown
In me
Unlike the previous surge
Unlike the previous heat
Which no doubt in its...

If you feel we evolve by chance,
here’s something that you must decide:
the type of steps that you will dance
explaining how blood cells divide.

Now only mammals do this split
which seems odd on the face of it.
For...

The echoes have returned
And they bear some bad news
The spawns are buried deep
With no liberty to lose

Maybe, these are waters with algae,
They're rich if murky
Forestalling for weeks on end
Before more capillaries have to fragment

It is...

I need to purge my blood of these shivers, smoke-filled bubbles burst in blood capillaries, an embolysym of you, an embolysym of truth. So much disease carried through an artificial vein.A wire mesh heart that...

As you look at me I'm not him.
Wearing a face of a man that does not exist, a myth. 
   For i am reserved, deep within the confines of self.
Ensorcelled, impelled, upon a...

O LORD for great pain
     Cruel suffering caused
     Fierce threat they present
Slash each cancer mass
     Leah's body from
Let not one escape

CRISES IN THE DESERT


written in the effect of religious crisis in Nigeria


Our heart received the message
And tensions well-positioned themselves in the sky.
Heads sought refuge at army barracks;
A world of agony was about to loom


Who cursed...

How marvelous that when we bleed,
To staunch a flow with little speed,
If not too deep, no bandaid need.

A miracle occurs indeed:
The platelet, wondrous little seed,
Exposed to air, sprouts like a weed,

Creates a mesh from here...

THE RIVER OF TAR
 
The River Of Tar
By
Kevin L Fairbrother

The river of tar… an artery
A means to access the highways
Branching through capillaries of roads
Penetrating the Australian landscape
...
The river of tar weaves and wanders
Through cities, towns...

When walking barefoot through the grass while clearing the mind, a connection occurs along with electrical surges that tingle.
It is wise to connect the soul to the earth, revitalizing the entire body as your toes...

Earth blanketed
in plush, green, quilted fabric from which
boundless rows of life emerge.
A season of reward, given for seasons of reserve.
Woodlands. Cavernous, leaf-bound sentinels.
Refuge and shelter to every frail, native creature.
The green leaf of summer refreshes...

Already the leaves are staining red,
Blood, too thin, seeps through taut skin,
Capillaries weak walled and weeping;
Dying Summer bows proud head,
Emptied of green glory;
Filled, fiery cauldrons blaze red-orange,
Golden flamed tongues glowing.
How harsh that she must fly
Into...

It was her skin in the ground

It was her skin with blood beneath

It was her skin with heat and humid

It was her skin in countless shades of grey

It was her skin in columnar colors of...
