Long Coronary Poems

A MINISTER RETIRES :  
SOLILOQUY 

I arise as infant Phoenix 
from Akasha ashes 
counterparts frozen 
with foibles intact
a still Arctic of death
sheath for recalibration 

Source Light breathes into 
fontanelle slowly sleepily  
Sekmet my...

My latest President
also appreciated Americans
he may never meet
or hear
or smell

Not to mention out to get
ever better tasted,
with or without informed consent,
not so vulnerably seen
or transparently felt
with copassioned
trauma-free intent,
yet not actually met,
just yet

And
I am confused
that any...

She grew up in a log cabin
 on the top of a mountain
 over looking a river in the valley
 With flowers on both sides growing

 That time has come and past
 But the memories...

Chalk Full of Great Lines

The body has been removed
To my place of sanctified worship
Where all is quiet and piano soothing
I am Ernesto Cortazar
Your Coroner and host for the evening
Here is my creation and story
In the...

Welcome
to the age of the bully boys
 pulling little girls curls and stealing others toys
 unraveling the flag as it unfurls of a nation divided
 shouting louder and defiant babblery so misguided
 posturing without intelligible...

The legs started going,
Howlings
In my head.
Thought I'd go,
Kept awake with water,
Breathing,
Arrogantly telling myself
I'd stay straight.
Drank gin and wine,
Went out,
Tried to buy more,
Unshaven,
Filthy white shorts,
Lost, rolling on lawn,
Somehow got home.
Monday, waiting for offie,
Looked like death,
Fear in...

The paths of bricks and stones surround my city life
Cold of winter could not touch me still on the Cheragi Hill
No smoldering or bonfire I need here to warm my skin
Less time I watch TV...

When 
Corruption and irresponsibility,
Maintains a system,
That seems,
A heart has got a coronary disease.

When 
A partial selection, 
Maintains a system,
That seems,
A plant fruit will die in its childhood.

When 
A Sensibility and intelligence,
Maintains a system,
That seems,
Progress is...

Here it sits
Squarely in my heart
Enfolded in the petals of a coronary black rose
Withered and piteous
A cloying weight
Heavy
 Grief-sodden
Perforated with bewilderment
It rests below my collarbones
Stifling each beleaguered breath
Damming my apprehensive blood
It clings
Battening down the hatches
An...

A sense of balance is all I need to cope,
so I don’t hang myself with a rope.

Across an azure sky
 i trailed lonely as clouds
Lost and broken
you unlocked my handcuffs
you are the love,you are the lover

In the ambiguity of reverberence and sonority
 my soul was asleep

Coughing here. Coughing there. 
Constant coughing everywhere.
Put your mask on. Do it quick!
Corona Virus is so thick.


We’re Americans. Don’t tell us what to do!
You can’t make us afraid of the coronary flu.
We will congregate more...

15 October 1931 was his date of birth,
He is a man of infinite worth. 
Rameshwaram was his birthplace,	
Poverty was a villain in his case.							
						
A very down-to-earth man;	
As a paper boy, his life, he began.
He was...

Reaching destinations
Exceeding expectations

Staying professional
Getting it done in a way that is exceptional

Far from probable
Didn't seem possible
But it happened and was phenomenal

Was stuck like barnacles
Then moved among the particles
Doing something remarkable
With or without using an arsenal

coronary vessels feed our hearts
blood pumped bright red circulate from
our delicate hearts nourishing the tiny cells
blood flows like a river undisturbed branching
like a monstrous tree rebranching into twigs leading
to leaves and life is a beautiful...

Sum of two, percolating hearts
Two forks merge, Love's current to kickstart
Love's seminal streams nutrients cart
Naively, through winding conduits dart
Each mind's eye the vital signs chart
Through coronary arteries; blithe goals, hopes jump-start
Strains increase blood pressure, tearing...

Trump Not Very Smart Horn Haiku

We were implicit
What Trump does was illicit
And not exquisite.

Made our lives a wreck
Did not play with a full deck
Should further inspect.

Trump seems so scary
Gave us a coronary
Is not smart very.
