Long Hard as a rock Poems

For Pharaoh still exalts himself and thinks he’s in control,
But if he won’t release my folk, he’ll pay a heavy toll.
Tomorrow I will bring down hail like Egypt’s never seen,
On plants and trees and man...

Blue Ghostgums to stretch and crack wide open
as Fire spreads molten sweet sap bleeding burgundy all over 
amber gold wild bush...

Writer’s block
I came to believe that I have a hard time sorting out my thoughts into each file…

Doomsday Clock minute hand...

hovers over 100 seconds to midnight 
as of January 2022, 
which apocalyptic prognostication
established by the Bulletin 
of Atomic Scientists
maintained since 1947, 
the clock quantifies a metaphor 
for threats to humanity 
from unchecked...

Feeling myself, departing from misfits 
Bold and brazen I wish to be so madly 
Enviless and free I want to be badly

I'll drink to that and be a fat...

 The stranger treads the sidewalk, 
Walking his happy-go-lucky canine
Solitude is preserved in him…
He’s as hard as a rock
Faint melody is heard on his cell phone 
As quick as lightning strikes
Acting chicken with his girlfriend,
Calling...

Can it be done? Possibly
Will I do it underneath the moon and sun? Probably
Honestly

I was born in it, but I don't want to die in poverty
For a long time I...

Hard is the rock, yet it does roll, beneath the oceans
Swift currents its rough edges become smooth, rounded
But it makes no sound; it is the silence of stone.
Gray is granite, as markers grave marker, yet...

They conclude that the world is unfair
But not all people are fair

Dear exam
Sincerely I don’t hate you, I just don’t like you
To be fair, I don’t think anybody does
You issue countless threats in the name of tests
A series of poison in carefully measured dosage
Administered by well-trained...

and it would behoove us not to forget.

You’d best listen when she threw out her words,

Tsunami 
By Michelle Morris
19/01/2023

You tried so hard not to rock the boat

Strong enough to destroy everyone

Why do we do these things?
Why do we keep...

acoustic guitar in his hands
with hair falling down or
shoegazing with tight black jeans or
black leather, his

barefoot in my backyard walking through

the grass with no shoes on

and i can smell the neighbors burning

their morning waffles into hard pieces of rock

Tears of gory guilt
Run down my bark, a nectar
For the nightingale

No where to hide now
The sheer shame embraces me 
Don't know what I know

In freeless tree forever...
Their eyes carved outside

Pupils follow me
Wherever...

Nectar

their inner wasps
to sup on clover
four leafed, beds of velvet
green virgins unseen

herein slumbers
far too gone 
to lie in wait
love expells
