Long Hales Poems

Ace colonoscopy doctor Kellen Karl Kovalovich

exactly one year ago),
yet nevertheless hunger,
not only for victuals

unleashes convulsions of anxiety.

unlike Pavlov's dog,
I neither salivate nor excite
at prospect (parking) body
against table not low but fahrenheit
unfair punishment...

Amidst the “pitter-patter” of diamond rain droplets,
As though tearing the soft womb of the dark sky like rockets,

Whisked by the winds
Climbing on like

A clinging coolness in the morning air
Makes boyhood autumns live once more—
Blue-ribbon produce at the county fair,
Father trimming a newly sticking  door.

The wetness of the rain 
Soaked upon my skin

A innocences tied to me 
Clothes pulled from me
