“Some Other Poet, White Iris”

When I look in the mirror what do I see?
I question existential questions and fiction, 
my eyes are the eyes of another staring back at me,
perceived through the glassy tear film...

O! Ferocious temptress of the land, sea and air.
Spread not thy leathery wings in fancy flights.
From the generic evolution, into future clones.
Lust raptures into unknown worlds of imagination.
		
Amazon warrior of deadly desires,
Hold my sword, it...

Train winded whistling and chugging,
leaving behind the city concrete,
it swiftly lunged into the green expanse,
fresh air blew ,trees swayed ,
as the blue yonder and bright sun,
set the terrific backdrop to the moving,
eyes do seldom settle...

Appearance

It was just another day.
The heat was as thick as
the cloud of dust my car
kicked up on the long dirt road
to my friend’s house,
an oasis of order in the
central Florida jungle
along the Peace River.
We sat...

All of him professes, she’s the best,
four years later, his neighbour’s older wife, he sees better.
Tongue, once a warm compress to her needy soul
has been weaponized to be a devastating rocket launcher.

She has already brought...

BROS BEBETO'S BET
 
Betting can tie you down like a sitting belt.

I don’t have a blueprint,
just this smudged version
of what she would look like, 
an impression in a shop windowpane,
just as the light catches her in mid-thought.

To recreate, I must fillet an idea until 
it is...

Mosquito menace
Dengue and Zika;
Fever inoculates

~~~~~~~~~


Rainy weather
Stay indoors;
Talk to myself

~~~~~~~~~


Dusk dark drowns
Eyes strain to see;
Sudden light blinds

~~~~~~~~~


Sexy brisk walk
Lady of the night;
Stuff of dreams

~~~~~~~~~


By kerb side fringe
Strange gathering;
Motley persuasions

~~~~~~~~~


Ancient occupation
Red light district;
Pleasure parade

~~~~~~~~~


Exotic night fare
Moonlit sonata;
Rapture...

I haven’t an inkling
From where it comes
And where it’s going.

Inspired, I’m thinking
Somewhere a clock is ticking
Keeping time to the echoes of
My...

They gather in their buzzard nests
clustered in dry grey frazzled wastes
steel sticks to walk upon their footsteps
humming with metallic stilts
supported grid on artificial legs
their crude utilitarian structure
hang in groves above the chainsaw stacks

Buzzing across the...

One day a Starling did speak with his brother
He twittering and whistled ten minutes or more
On and on about preening and bees, 
About sly cats that hide in the trees

How he lost brown bread by...

The young ailanthus tree grew in a narrow yard
Behind a rowhouse in a block facing the boulevard,
And anyone could tell it never would grow tall;
Only its shadow loomed immense at evening on the wall.
It trembled...

I sometimes find myself listening for God's footsteps
as He treads softly,oh, ever so softly round about me....

I sometimes find myself wanting to shake God's hand,
gently, lest my own hand is crushed by His might....

I sometimes...

I think of my ancestors building you,
Tying and placing tree-trunks, like girders, in queue;
They constructed you, then, with stones,
Twisted, turned, criss-crossed, hung, dangled in zones;
Road bridge, railway bridge, gate bridge, bay bridge,
You  resembled longest...

My lines are sharp like a mallam's dagger
my lines are long like dreadlocks, a mad man's dada
my lines have the suspense, they can hit you like a stray bullet
my lines knows love, they beat romeo...

In cold words of spite, shoot me down,
Let hate grind down the heart to dust
The dust to fuel the icy frown,
But frowns can smile when truth they trust.

I’m caught in the bitter cross-fire,
Bullets fired in...
