Long Convection Poems

Glory to thermodynamics in general...

and generation of heat in particular
cuz yours truly 
spoiled with trappings 
of Western Civilization.

How ideal I imagine 
to dwell in a self sufficient domicile,
where thrum of the central heater...
automatically activated

Ghostly spirits from deadly arsenal spell haunting annihilation

With mighty mouse and Hercules height 
tried to retrieve sanity spread loose;
a faded unpleasant memory - even enlisting
decades old cartoon characters: 
Natasha squirrel and Bullwinkle moose

Does it mean we are friends if I mirror your thoughts,
That we like the same jokes or our politics sing
A conventional melody?

Does the ground shake (we stand on) when boundaries slip,
When emotional dams burst, magnetic...

mother star beams as she beholds her errant brood
  six diverse, rocky planets

The perplexity of my complexion
Is a God given blessin’
But many have been stressin’
Life’s annoying lessons
That’s in need of correction
But in no need of perfection
Due to the detection
Of affection
In my isolated section,
The convection
Of my teachings
Is telling...

The day’s hot-the wind like a convection oven
Blows hot air in our faces.
My cap and gown insulates me
Baking me like a potato wrapped in aluminum foil
I desperately fan myself and look around
My eyes search for...

We ask God’s blessings for food we eat;
those who toil to grow it deserve our prayers too.
In 1985, Farm Aid musicians took their beat,
rocking in donations for those who grew
in debt, not just crops, as...

It has just begun.

The maps have unraveled in topographic templates, unmarked by geographic spaces.

They’ve been replaced by frequencies emerging from what we once knew as separate places.

For a place is but a point in space,...

Once in time ,a cargo plane was flying 
above in the azure blue.
You see the plane was carrying seeds for planting,
or every size ,sort and hue.
When at once,the winds grew rough,
and the sky turned an...

I was one in a large selection
The two of us made a connection
I admit I had a predilection 
You and I started out as perfection
Everyday filled with affection
Then came all the little corrections
After your voice...

In the unquiet chamber of a kitchen, 
where brittle leaves of thyme and sage sway 
in unison, to the hot hum of convection
crooning softly from a stove of iron.

The guests hang waiting, by turns,
for their...

Sterile ducts with just a trace
Of fleeting mist at moist base
Passionate reserves saving grace
Digging deep to find some solace

Eyes like telescopic lenses refract the availing light
Alluring images swagger near then purposely slight
Radiant beams refocus my...

I sit alone, racking a brain silent as stone,
awaiting inspiration, until it comes scrolling
from the recesses of the unknown

Wide awake, heart beat steady,
fingers awaiting thoughts to flow from my brain to them,
beginning the transformation from...

Brushed with the languorous strokes of sunset
  The landscape touched by a sinewy fire,
Breathing beneath the purple haze sky
  As electrical dusk tugs molecular wire.

Bats from the caverns jerk black on thermals,

 His grace and mercy upon my life
 Is greater than the universe’s dimension
 And all of Earth’s demission and demotion
 Won’t keep me from my life devotion

The flash frame scene

In a fevered forever 
more than 50 years 
beyond today's dawn  
beyond a horizon that changes

and never aging faces

The humid Hawaiian heat hobbles my head and heart too,
Hitting as the Humvee high-tails past on the highway, 
Sweat seeps steadily south from scalp to shoes
Convection current cooking, keep pedaling, pores crying.

The trouble with touch
Is wanting too much
Finger tips tingling
Trite hearts signaling

Your space in-between
Where feelings are seen
If taken one day
You lose your own way

The rush of desire
An embrace on fire
Sparks of connection
Human convection

As all isolate
Some suffer...

Smoke rises in every direction,
staining blue skies with pale shades of grey;
Molten coals--they deliver convection,
to the meats laid an orderly way,
busily emanating aromatic bouquets.

Termed 'Barbecues' or 'Pickin's--by plain folk,
toiling sunrise till often sunset;
to dispense the...
