Long Echolocation Poems

"Skinwalker"


That one’s mind 
is like a scene from Chagall
dreams flow like blood bleeds
across the cortex page curtain call
an audience with the silent speakeasy 
cerebellum with its swift
matter-of-factness 
logically guides the fingers 
to dance across keys...

“Blue Sky Eye and The Hope Angels”



It came to be 
that many forgot
the messages imparted 

prior to arrival
instructions were encoded 
inside all our vessels 

we were berthed 
locked and loaded 
waiting for ignition

but we were...

"The Cost of War through Peace"

She had spent 
some elaborate 
time 
with snakes,

learning
their ways,
yet in the very 
back of her mind,

in her memories,
she remembered
the stories told
long ago,
the sleepy songs sung;

curiously,
they were always
delivered in the dark,
as...

The Ocean sweeps in

you’re pulled out with the tide
and Life wraps it’s fluid wings around you,

Encapsulation Versus Elaboration...

Therefore, I opted to
reduce heavy sedation
within unsuspecting reader rabbit
summarization superseded elaboration,
less reason spurring salacious secretion
i.e. a-z expletive epithet, et cetera laced

verbalization crucifixion subsequently,
neither nameless nincompoop (me)
crossing verboten drive,
nor this ditto anonymous
poetic purveyor to...

It comes in beta waves,
	         an electro-magnetic tone
The blu-ray timbre
	channel surf creep
in your sleep
Then it’s rapid eye movement gone

This disembodied voice
whispers robo-call suggestively,
“Vote for American czar me”

Saying,...

"Crown"



My eyes are on you
Blue Sky
From where I stand
my eyes are grass green 

silver cut 
grass green 
sharp and hungry

My lips are persimmon sweet
ripe and dripping words 
thick and smooth 
like warm honey

My mind is...

i can change your mind
i shape-shift

when you talk to the background noise
then it echoes in our underground community

it's just us
two clowns in a dress and suit
i know we're not alone but
meet me, faze me

ORCA

He erupts from the water
in a triumphant roll, slicing
moist air with his black fins and tail,
disappearing once more in 
an explosion of diamonds as salt spray
and sun
He arrives every year when this warm
bay is pregnant,...

I was sure to meet an untimely death

We've looked at our souls from many sides.
Crushed the truth and exposed...

Red-handed-echo location -weapon
bouncing back and forth
off our minds
eating the metal
off our top shelves...
where the hell
are Santa's elves.
Oh well, this isn't so bad
no toilet paper
a silly mask
some dirty behinds
everyone's equally-beautiful.
This is the silver lining...

We will survive...

Delightfully friendly dolphins can live for over forty years 
Observe them swim with synchronised movements
Leaping out of the water in perfect unison
Prey such as fish and squid is found using echolocation
How I marvel when they...
