Long Diagnostic Poems

Date:   May  2051

 Raining morning dawning. Everything is
Best and rest in all Hakim Households.
Hours passed and in Damian's dome
Dolly rose and gently kissed Damian.
"Rise my husband. Strong man I remember 
You." She...

It was a cool Saturday evening.
Desharah was on the video phone
With Dolly. "Ma me and the kids
Are coming for a visit and Ame is
Coming too and he's bringing his 
Family. DJ...

Easter as interpreted by one...

rebated, rebelled, rebirthed, rebooted, 
and rebuked courtesy 
one ill shod Unitarian atheist,
who means NOT to affect
any sacrilegious fallout
nor offend devoutly religious

Christian holiday notated,...

Nursing and nurturing
can often be used synonymously.
To nurse a baby
is first to nurture a cherished infant.

They share a nutritional history
of healthcare giving
and receiving,
delivered best and most durably
when care works coincidentally both ways
in all Win-Win bilateral...

spring is the season of rebirth and renovation
a time for renewal and rejuvenation
a time to clean house, to bring about some change
a time for our spirits to be rearranged
it's a ritual that requires a diagnostic...

A Dirge to my Old Semester
I peregrinated to the land of my ancestors
When I heard you are sick
I never knew it was true
Until when Timtec pasted their diagnostic result
It was so sad that you are...

“Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate", most frequently translated as "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here". A. Dante, 14th century Italian poet

They drop the words that cannot be appealed

In the cosmic dance, 
where stars collide, 
Galaxies spiral, 
and planets ride. 

Saturn’s rings shimmer, 
Jupiter’s dim, 
Moons circle round, 
a celestial hymn.

From quasars’ crescendo to pulsars’ beat
Cycles in cycles take form and retreat

Superstrings vibrate,...

Verse
When I saw who was calling
I didn't answer the phone
There was a pit in my stomach
Like I'd swallowed a stone
Collect call from jail
Do I want to accept?
If the tables were turned
Would I be feeling bereft?
Except...

This place is pathetic, 
my critique’s not unique when living amongst these freaks,

Alphabet Soup Stigma
A multitude of letters bob and undulate as I stir the soup. 

I gaze confused when I notice the letters haphazardly merge together…Magnetized letters repel and pull together. 

Slowly familiar acronyms form. PTSD,...

By 11, I thought I'd have it down by 15,
But by 16 and a sour sunday morn,
And daisy chains foiled into the moor,
And hands that tighten but ne'er lighten, 
Hands that strangle, stitch, and liven.
Of...

DARK ALLIANCE

The alchemists of old sought transformation into gold
But today in an alliance with some modern necromancers
They have gained their fondest wish, created riches now untold
Since for every bane that’s real or hollow now they...

Deep in a hole, no more an abyss.
Searching for light, or source of escape
Knowing neither, why or how
I buried myself, deep under ground

Suffering for weeks, Absent of Joy
Bed inescapable, a fortress of hell.
Stress constantly crushing,...

“That’s just the way you’re wired”
Sure some settings are predetermined out of the box 
But most adapt over time to the environment 

Growing up we all adjust to the situation to survive
To try to get...

Full of doubt. About survival of the species and my own.
A plague of tent caterpillars, worse than an infestation,
an insurgency that has left the sky naked, bones revealed,
trees knee deep in webbing.

Like a star in Hollywood

I never thought I would

watch you like a TV screen

So close, yet so far.

Makes me wanna raise the volume bar

only to get drunk as if I...

“By Design”

By design
other dimensions
astonishing alien fields 
different shades
of dark and light
intradimensional beings
strange lives 
surround us
we are oblivious
to their invisible kingdoms
their unique opinions
their different addictions
their mysterious freedoms
part of ours, under cover
in our infected delirium
dissolving over-rated
control and...

When I’ve gone
to the place
where my fathers’
have gone before me 
and the last tribute
has been paid to my memory,
may my singing words
crack the silence with clanging echoes.

May the clanging echoes
excite starving eyes
and taut wrinkled eardrums—
both...

As the spirit of Lazarus, I animate. Reanimate, from a bizarre slumber to a palpitate night air. Gulf winds intrusively herding heavy clouds like spirit cattle, bearing arcane riders of esoteric threat. Even the paunchy...
