Long Decaying Poems

Flint 
Within its brilliance gleaming
Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American...

His glowing golden eyes glistened with a comprehension beyond the mortal condition

A well-toned, tall, and tanned man, who most, not all, would call handsome

A brightly bleached stalactite overbite gleaned between the mean features of an...

Effulgent sun proffers love 
Clambering… 
My brain makes me wonder if you remember the times shared
Back to the blessed times, I recall that you would listened, be worried about me, and, at the time,...

Potawatomi language,
says Robin Wall Kimmerer,
does not verbally divide us into masculine and feminine.
However, unlike most English verbs,
Potawatomi verbs distinguish between animate and inanimate objects.

when speaking to an unruly son
and set down

tender blues,
touches of plain mauve 
and rainbow trout splatters
to paint music
on the gas fumes

I esteem your presence
Glowing with glee 
At times, you do say things without thinking 
I’m the god of distress –

Cutting me down like I’m some decaying tree
You don’t see how...

My RightWing 
all white male dominant
or venus invidiously envious
family

Is way quick to remain gated
away from drug
and alcohol
and automated arms dealers
and users,
black market buyers
and sellers
and renters.

Yet these same straight 
boxer whitey patriarchs
are curiously too tidy comfortable
with...

Accept your when’s

and ended up alone in my why’s

I can’t even believe that I was...

Silently he sat in darkness, flinching at the sight of light.
Which created a glow reflecting on his balding head.
His cold glare did not help my nerves, 
so I simply stood there observing his silence.

Inspired by Disturbed’s songs…

We are the animal inside my soul, my soul

In what ways have nutritional 
and health
and financial
and well-being values increased 
over past time,
whether a season,

both tranquil and calamitous
where the mind
does not dare enter.

where blind consciousness
