Long Gris Poems

“The Apocrypha of Familiars” 

Wings hover 
light luminescent
revelling sprites dark pearls
Corvidae shades
of a family 

highly functioning
dysfunctional plural
morphing unobserved
perceived non-unique 
spiralling into shape

more black and grey
than white spills 
from their eyes
light from their shining 
hidden away

From blank screen to logorrhea, I write with confused adumbrations

Methinks hmm, perhaps
I admittedly self plagiarize and quite aware
aforementioned amalgamated, conglomerated, 
fabricated, jerry rigged, and organized

From Blank Screen To Logorrhea, I Write With Confused Adumbrations

Methinks hmm, perhaps
aforementioned conglomerated eye gripping titled,
poem already aired
though revisiting said theme
downplayed as thoughts blare
though similar content
invariably communicated,
sans trademark Pi Seine fishtail career

No one in this morning
The road is deserted,
It's too early under the gray sky,

The veins of my hands,
Salient hands on the wheel
The look Elevated

The white line scrolls,
The colored houses, fled,
Since the curves crossed,

Creeks glimpsed,
The white...

Her skin is textured fabric
and a lovely pair of…odd eyes of ink
 black and sheen green.
Cherry cheeks, heavy-handed
 for his amusement.

Lips sewn to silence
just the way he likes her.
Living only through him
though she’s not alive.

Criminals...

Summer's sensuality
When the new leaves are green with love
Marks the ritual's beginning
A ritual old as the unmarked time
That passed before us all,
In which we are called to spring, to dance
Butterflies and mindless acrobats
Like flowers...

Despite imprecations

under this gray sky
to the name rose they gave sharp thorns
to the name nettles nothing to suggest the itch when touching them

maybe it's just fate and nothing but appearance
although
every sweet arrival is preceded by a...

In vertigo of night, in their riddled trance 
Boldness of petals melt on washed-out shades,
As faces etch a quiet gloom in varied hues
Capturing splashed oil, neutral and bright
While I gaze longingly at a portrait…
Man and...

What hell was that met me in the night
And drove me from the path of peace?
What vulture sang like robins to invite
My soul to callous carrion's mangled feast?

What act, what word was the anesthesia
Of my...

Dans une langue qui ne m'appartient pas
j'essaie d'y mettre la lune entière
son sourire à plein dents et sa lumière douce
les mots me semblent creux et pourtant
en chacun d'eux, une étoile filante
mes espoirs, tous gris, tracés,...

One day while fishing on the bridge,
I hooked a gorgeous speckled trout,
Reeled it in and pulled it out,
Carried home, stored in my fridge.

The trout it was prepared next day,
Two large filets cooked and eaten,
Flavor intense...

Plötzlicher Nebel / Sudden Fog / Repentina niebla  (Haiku)

Plötzlich dichter Nebel
Häuser verschwimmen in Schatten
Nur Lichter von ferne


A sudden dense fog
And houses blurred in shadows
Only lights in the distance 


Densa niebla repentina
Casas en sombras borrosas
Sólo...

Perfecto
Es aquel en cual no se enojaba 
Aunque de palabras se llenaba, jamás las hablaba
Es aquel que jamás temía 
Aunque talves lo sentía, jamás se imponía 
Y eso yo admiro

Bello
Es cuando lo de adentro es...

Te encuentro sentada admirando la nada
pero sé que en el fondo hay fuego en tu calma
me miras despacio, mas tu pasión en apuro
te imaginas mis caricias y me sientes desnudo

Me hablas sin voz de una...

Trudging up a slate strewn track,
storm clouds gather.” Let’s turn back.”

As expected son slips over,
knee is cut, face like thunder.

“We should have turned left by the wall, 
but, as usual you know it all.”

Two hours...

Esta habitación
tiene su color,  
agrio y sucio
con olvido gris.

Tengo una lista,
lista de todo.
Cajas, papel,
tiza y pis.

Mi soledad
es eterna aqui.
Ni mis hermanos
bailan así.

Ni mamá,
ni papá,
solo arañas 
y ratas hay.

¿Por qué?, ¿por qué?
Danzo bajo luz

The roadside linden trees
Disperse their wilted blossoms
Onto grey asphalt

Abstract paintings in ochre and grey
Changing vision of natrure's great art

Die Linden am Strassenrand
Verstreuen ihre verdörrten Blüten
Auf grauen Asphalt

Abstrakte Bilder in Ocker und Grau
Wechselnder Anblick der Natur
