Long Glyph Poems

"BLACK CAT"



SILENCE
prowls on soft paws 
with sharp claws
Cutting up the 
Middle Road
Dark shadow moves 
SILIENCE
In absentia 
Empty Absynthe
Puncture wounds
Cold wind blows
Over tracks
Skids softly
like warm 
gants de Suède
on 
Poets’ Row
Rat goes 
Rat goes
Red scream 
scarlet ribbons...

 Poetic writes speak volumes too,
 this profound nature of humanity;
 expression’s glyph or determination’s rift,
 each soothing rhyme or base profanity;
 provoke of consciousness that drift,
 so casually or with rude insanity;
 furiously...

I can't imagine a day without you
separated
departed
I put my best foot forward for you
It's demonstrated
whole hearted

What we produce is fruitful
It shows
Glows
Like lights in the sky, beautiful
It grows
Flows

Our relationship's scripted like glyph
Visual
I vision you
Whenever I am...

Race over now:
Blue makes way then,
Red gains somehow,
New mandate hence.


The vote is in:
Flair in odd choice,
A new glyph seen,
Triumph of mad poise.


Wary world sees:
Markets on edge,
Stakes falling free,
On dangling ledge.


Sense the divide:
Mind-boggling stars,
Watch scary slide,
Tattoo...

To what avail are scriptures etched on stones?
Of much, in every way, but not an end:
the rocks cry out in deepest, awe-filled moans
to bear a glyph divine that condescends
to pierce transcendent planes and self-reveal.

In this,...

Last month's hurricane ripped down dunes, re-
scalloped the shore, snatched away a car.
 Now there's a smooth spread
 of waves again where sandpipers scoot
 across wet sand, their enigma of glyph tracks
washed away with the...

Segmented straight lines configure
pointed glyph of transformed cross.
In numeral sequence from the top
it’s the second smallest even integer.

After three dark days of primal genesis
when the arch of cosmos needed light,
God created sun, moon and all...

A brief glyph
Buzz that trips


A new wave
Loss that saves


A mind field
Do you yield?


A false start
Feel your heart


A sigh brief
Sign sets grief


A huge stake
Words starve take


A bold blast
Not yet past


A harsh rhyme
That shoots time


A crisp say
Blunt...
