Long Fouling Poems

Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?

No more common sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominant things
oppressing sacred Earth's
polycultural win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant synergetic health

Care given
as received
in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth

Maybe an...

Limricks prompted by a comment made by someone today

It's a fact, and no longer just a rumor
Some soup people barf at toilet humor
Have you sniffed your own butt 
It stinks so keep it shut
Pessimism must...

 Part 3

9th Delerium: Emptyness
Water wheels in wastelands... turning,
drowning relics in the slum
Rumpled rags of fashioned burlap... burning,
lit by bandits blind and dumb
Pastured prisons, ponies bridled ... yearning,
forest fairies under thumb
Sounds inside of cauldrons coughing......

Where, oh where, is God? 
When will the man-child stop asking why,
stop searching for the other, the greater, the bigger
the more glorious presence?

This constant need to see other than oneself as the source.
Even with a...

I sit at the window and just stare at the jagged trees,
                their branches jutting out like anorexic bones.

Today, I was determined to fly a kite;
There was plenty of wind with no clouds in sight.
Strenuously I checked the strength of the twine;	 
I didn’t want any troubles fouling up my line.
The knots that...

The mind fractures
and motes grow roots
beneath fabrication.

These are my eyes that see
another reality, where shadows crawl
like fingers upon a chalk board,
and torrent that spews from my tongue
is a voice I’ve never heard,

all that history buried...

Albert G Walpole, proud legionnaire
Clerk to the council for all of his days
Lived with his mother in Hartington D'Arcy
Nice little end terrace, quite set in his ways

But one Sunday evening, returning from church
This man of...

Ostracized by society we have been relegated
To small corners and alleys, segregated
Not given the same rights and attention
As those that are dementing the nation
We don’t deserve to be victimized
If you don’t believe; look into our...

The honesty of kin, childhood, the win
to have it all, the prize, the goal,
a Mother's prayer, the senseless maul,
somewhere within my reach, still small!

The hot wheel, faded, paintless steel
within my hand ~ my heart did...

Black shades cutting ice 
breaks ground deeply ebony chills 
darkness creeps closely consumed

Abandoned waste easily exhausted 
lands with it's own need
The fire inside laced sulphur 
burning ash inferno remains

Venom underneath clay mixed 
To extinguish the...

God's bountiful creation,
our hearts with wonder fill,
held now in contemplation
with mind and body still.
Diversity of creatures,
varieties of plants
for our delight displayed here
that we may be entranced.

Among the host of creatures
just who am I but one?
Yet...

We have so much color all around us
so much beauty to fill our senses
everything we see and touch and taste
in the songs we hear
in the scent of lovers mingled
in everything we've been given
there is a...

I’m un-fouling my anchor chain 
In this seedy seaport bar.
Bid farewell to the tavern rats 
Who’ll stay rooted where they are.
Pull the cork. Tip the bottle back. 
Take a long soul-warming sip.
Feel that heady brew...

I finished moving into my residential college as a storm began
- fat raindrops, as big as coconuts, falling from a black and fouling sky.

These northerners were acting like a "tropical storm" (Henri) was a big...

There was a time, before Hollywood 
fully embraced commercialism – then love

Watch me burn away my youth
College
Yeah, I learned
Swirling urinal puck love
Girls with degrees and shorts and yeast infections
Grease-fat, bubbling, fly on my fry
Missing a twenty and things that money holds no value to
It's a lime-green,...

I wrap my fingers around the pen
which has lain dormant collecting dust
for months on end feeling as if
I'm lifting a fifty pound weight

THE MATRIARCHAL LOVE PROTEST

On such a time as this, 
When the faithful air 
In the cupid enclave
Becomes vulnerable 
To the fouling presence
Of the all intrusive diffusion
Of the strange breath of the foreign god; 
When the...
