On a game horse Bunga Din
The Brumbies galloping on Tolga

Am I No Longer Desirable to You?		By Robert Denton (November 2014)

Am I no longer desirable to you?
I don't even desire myself.
Angered by bodily dilapidation
That has nothing to do with aging.
I don't even desire myself
The way...

Pushing Your Morality

Pushing your morality like a drug.
A street drug without effect.
An addictive placebo.
An open invitation to dine with scum.
A street drug without effect
That you suck through a straw, providing
An open invitation to dine with...

This Plant is Not a Drug		(Robert Denton, March 2017)

This plant is not a drug,
It is a plant.
You can cut off its flower bud
Then hang it to dry.
When it is dry and brittle
It is ready to...

Bombed and battered with precision.

But death is...

Undesirable Now	Robert Denton (September 23, 2014)

I feel like my life is over.
I'm caged, imprisoned, locked within
the confines of this broken container.

If I could take away this distance
move this school nearer Denton
I'd do it within an instant
I wish that I could walk to see you

Passed Life	
by Robert Denton (October 2014)

Where after 34 years I found you
Stretched out on a bed of memories

Unable to bring...

You insanely wealthy, self centered idolaters.
You war lovers, mass murderers,
You military-industrial exploiters.

You think you have purchased and worked...

Denton July 2014

beyond all others,
a blessed divine
gift brighter than
the purest of gold. 
She glows like the

and cutting the

She is but poetic

loyal in her
movements however
clumsily...

And I'd ask them to take me home.

Unless I...
