Long Clefts Poems

When at five-thirty
In the rubbed-eye haziness

The camera-eye refugee
Asleep in the half wakefulness
Of the hour
Peers out of his high turbanned sockets:
Hyde Park's through road links
London's diurnally estranged couple -
The Arch and Gate.

Emotional guillotine clefts
     irredeemable psychological umbilical accord
witnessing heart breaking,
     woe-begotten inhumane rip cord
gut wrenching shuffle board

This town, this Silk Road had no toll to pay
  yet from the east caravans again fill its
pharaonic marble and glass temples. Monolith

malls rise its clefts, eco-wilderness morph
  into multiplex cinemas; mini golf...

when her belly swelled up, big, full, and round.
It was a scandal, her dad was enraged,
a rash of whispered words ran through the town.

Some things come to you
when you are alone
with your thoughts
and the sun is setting through your window.

Like now.
I am with my thoughts

Digging into and detecting deep roots gives me a thrill.
Though raking up the foregone quarrels is a tiresome drill,

besieged cerebral corridor,
quotidian mental onslaught
spurns refugee exodus,
psychological ploy asper...

Who just doesn’t love you back,
But it’s said,
 That in order to love;
You have to love, a love
 That’ll just tear you apart,
 Along with
 Breaking your heart.”
“And, I...

Our destinies are hemmed in within the clefts of our imaginations;
Fate entrapped within our labors of all that remains undone,
but then veiled is the crude reality that sears underneath our ingenuous faces,

Amassed stones and rocks as bulwark,
Assembled stones and rocks as a stack,

Where springtime run-off streams are filled.
Where snows melts and clouds lift

Through the foothill small brooks run
On their track toward His...
