Long Hemming Poems

Psychologically still thirteen 

Ordinarily meaning pre Internet days
familiarization with me would entail
bringing the avid listener 
into my private mancave hideaways
less a physical place than a juncture in relationship, 
(whereby one or the other of us)...

I believe a foregone conclusion
that Donald Trump will win
based on the pathetic debate...

Sans sixth (psychic) sense...
poise zen dystopian rant

This prognosticator doth predict
potential based at current rate
sinister debacle that will
instantaneously annihilate,
United States storied republic, 
which alarming horror 
points to instantaneous annihilation
of America the beautiful;
(ohm my dog) turbulent
endemic chaotic...

I awoke to find 
that Jack Frost had paid a visit 
to my bedroom windows
for the very first time 
this Winter.

If only I had seen him at work
I would have thanked him
for decorating 
my otherwise...

From chaos to cosmos
From cosmos to Barbados
From Barbados to Cricket


Fifty odd years

An original me?

Between 1 and 2

First comes the moon
Second comes the yellow
Last come the clouds and bats

They move...

Ofttimes yours truly assiduously tries to adlib,
but blubbers like a landlubber
at sea treading water donned with bib
(that doubles as yellow
spongy bobbing life jacket)

furiously doing doggy paddle
riding the next tidal wave
hoop fully washing me ashore to...

What Happened To GOD’s Old Fashioned Women?

Women who were careful how they spoke and didn’t use
profanity to get their thoughts across.  Who loved their
husbands and children and their GOD.  

Stay at home mothers...

The sage green wall had worn a blank look
until, slightly askew, with a tilt to the left
dangling helplessly, without a complaint 
is the pride of an artist, who lacked all constraints.

He dipped into his paints...

The world is burning down in ashes
And up rises the horror; sailing in skies
From the charred corpses that lay down;
Marred and maimed,
Up rises the smoke of terror
Amidst the war cry !

Let me lie down
For all...

This Dissembling Man...

Trod thru three
score orbitz with air
tight (hermetically sealed)
lid on his emotions bare
reft of evincing

concern and/or care
ring forever guarded against
incursions upon fragile as chinaware
psyche foregoing giving
healthy breathing room

never to dare
risk challenging discomfort zones

HERRINGBONE HEMMED

Surely she was a tailor born
Altering me with her alluring nature
And silken thread coaxed through the eye of a needle
Each stitch rich in rewards of grandeur
Every inch sewn by a hand with instinctual care
And...

where my old Singer floated next to your face
You wore that smirk that always made me twitch

A sun reminds them through a dark cloud, 
long before we are even asleep, or the moon is awake
and they reply, like guardians of simmering,  
blossoming sunbeams, sprouting like wheat from cold concrete floors

We are the workers, call us 
an hour before an absent fill shift
The pyramid sprouts atop of
The heavy depths of broad ordinary, 
Breadth mopped and swept

Silent cogs push motion
Everywhere, rarely heralded
Carpet of field mice scrambling

Hemming in the cyclonic haw
hurls me headlong into the storm
to quake the lock within my jaw
until my psyche seeks noble form.

Spotlights bathe my despondent lurch
like abandoned suns left forlorn
without the worship of their church
reborn with...

They are the boats in the river
Hills of the sun and the green leaves
Evening or mornings regardless

Roaring clouds I am afraid of
Oysters of friendship I seek much
Shouting trees I am nervous of
Embankment of the lake...

Allowing awfully awkward arguments to arise
Self-doubt secludes, so sequestered, sadly... sans surprise
Madly muttering melancholy mottos
 Odius, obtuse obligation on auto
Deftly denying deteriorating destruction
Somehow sickly surrendering Soul's suction
Humbly hemming-n-hawing, half-assed heretic
 Dejected densely dimwitted dumb ass...

When the mother flew away
Her children ran all over the forest
Searching after her, barefeet
Until they turned it red
With bleeding feet and hearts

The moon rose to soothe
Humming and hemming
The tide of their sorrow
Trailing feather fingers
In her...

Ever so fortunate my beautiful face dims 
The hatred burning across the dinner table 
You're as dense as your guests 
They look at me...

Man child. Mean manacle meaningless.  
Painfully pondering potent powerlessness.
What and where and why the worst.
Found fear of failing. This the first.
Faced foe fist for fist.
Gaining gentlemen game gist.
Soon shattered, smoked so surely.
Error eternal, earning...
