Long Connectors Poems

They called their gang The ReVolutionaries,
my Father Sun and Mother Earth drew time with them,

yet privately erotic,
not so much politically and economically
where Yang could not...

Can We “Feel” Music?
By Carol Geyer


Can we “feel” music? Can the notes cool or warm us?
Soothing like green aloe balm, or warm as flaming Yule logs,
 or as majestic as a fully leafed oak?

"We are Worlds"



Internally eternal
in each of us
another world

Unknown 
and alien
supporting strange lifeforms 

hidden beneath our veils
watching silently
illuminating exotic ethereal lines

Connectors electric
touch each other 
another’s  world

reaching out instinctively
we regenerate ad infinitum 
Lux Vitae unfurls

too deep...

Some pin memories delicately
and precisely like butterflies.
I, however, use railroad spikes.

This morning was spent well,
walking along a high desert trail,
close to some old railroad tracks.
My sister had shown them to me yesterday.

I am looking for...

False, mechanical eyes see across the city

Their connectors neatly hitting your brain stem with tiny signals

It’s amazing what technology can do these days

what your technology can do

You taste the salty fish cubes in front of...

Ink of life cannot bleed for eternity,
so I place dried petals in between,
crucial chapters of my memoirs.

When we stop breathing poetry,
our crestfallen pen, left in silence -
where do we poets go?

Is there a special place,
where...

In the middle of the night a door slams
The awful scent of cigarettes floats upward penetrates my nostrils
Insomnia keeps him up and restless
Lying here I hear, smell and know that the worst is yet to...

Electrons fulfill their wave equations
Bonding polarities shift their vectors
Giving way for kinase phosphorations
On a channel near neural connectors

Anions build within the cell's walls
So Potassium plays with its mates
Sheltered from large sodium rainfalls
By fat magnesium blocking...

A 21st Century Question?

Do people still need real human poetry in the 21st century 

Some still ask as AI plagiarizes when put to task

To be the social connectors
The innovation and invitation 

To new or old,...

Almost like wearing an eternal hat of shame
Black veils hide the blame
Shadowy onlookers dying to see under the opaque 
Their eyes deepened in curiosity expecting some day the veil would break 
Dawn never looked so...

Beware of the Brain-eaters, the Logic-disbelievers, the Beat-clippers.
They come on Halloween  to thumb their noses at the sky dippers.
Big Dipper sends eighteen master witches to give them a star.
Little Dipper distances himself, hiding his...

A shadow of a family
Sits, lumping on our couch
Watching TV with mindless eyes
Occasionally letting a few words out

The lines that bind together
Lie about on the ground like jump ropes
They’re always in the way
Tripping up dreams...

A friend sent me a spinner
Which turns gently in a breeze.
It needed some assembly,
So I got down on my knees,

Removing all the pieces
From the box where they were packed.
I looked at the instructions 
And then...

If and then only to remember
Forget not the lost lonely specters in gray ember
Passing by eerily, still passing by
Loose tendrils of humanity… fly away fly
You see me not in your beautiful haze
Skirt around; walk around...
