Long Hippocampus Poems

"How Huxley Sees the World"



He composes his world -
dream extractions
simulated from 
the surreal reality of man
colour cognitive from the dead moments
we phantomise to life in sleep
electric light colour bursts forth 
from a perspective unique
a hare...

You’re the headless horseman running on half a heart 
You shouldn’t know where to go but you just do 
And you’d lose your head if it wasn’t attached to you 
Lost puzzle pieces, collecting dust,...

Lulled to sleep courtesy white noise of the fan

Onset of first 2023 heatwave
found yours truly lulled to sleep
courtesy rattle and hum
(U2 can dreamily tread 
where the streets have no name) 
of oscillating fan.

Nestled under blankets,

Nestled under blankets,
the gentle whirring sound
soothes the savage beast
within mine body electric
of one generic, opportunistic,
and wholistic garden variety man.

Within blink of closed eye
yours truly transported
into the realm of deep sleep
benumbed to reality as unconscious guy
experiencing...

The Diary Letter to Beatrice


(A lone voice whispers, as the right hand, takes careful notes)

In the deepest of silence 
I always walk 

Deep in thoughts, into my own created Maelstrom of Defiance

As memories of you...

Foundation.

Have you ever met someone where everything just clicked but then, for whatever tragic reason?

They just disappeared? 

The Calling

(A lone male, clutching an old photograph at midnight. Whispers, as a single white prayer candle burns)

The covetous Master was selfish and unkind.
He gave his three servants property to invest.
Each property was called a “talent” for profit,
for he believed in riches he would be blessed.

The first lucky servant received five talents.

He said to her:
People or people-like species
With better amygdala and hippocampus
To recognize only love and peace stimulus
With no thirst for blood in psyche
For any purpose whatsoever
Except medical surgery
Is the door to a advanced species---
We have...

Sixty years have passed.
No one knew how to spell its name.
No one knew when it first opened.
It was forever, like the infernal summer heat.
It stands indelible at the end of my street,
at the end of...

"Freedom Sees - Part 1"

Sailing
her clear 
Aqua Green 
oceans
floating 
mysterious exotic
fragrant 
Dark Pink 
Yellow Frangipani Petals
surround her boat, 
gifts sent  
from the big fat bellied trees
in the Queen's Land,
standing fixated, 
rooted to the spot
they...

FOUND LOVE
She looked for a luscious dark chocolate seahorse
So in our dream reality we only see us
I said, put on your four eyes & peer into the deep.
Your hippocampus! She replies even in her sleep,
Giggling...

Why let children believe in miracles
Even though we are not faithful?
Let children turn pinot to grape juice
As Jesus did at a wedding feast
Let your child turn stones into biscuits
Prove the devil wrong with your glee
When...

Hippocampus

What a memory trickling down my limbic system
Pure deep emotion released from a firing brain

	Neurons transmitted untainted joy 

A night dive at Stackpole Quay in Pembrokeshire
Thick wet suit in cold waters weights on the belt
No...

A group of couples met for lunch—
	a quick one—talked, and watched the clock.
	They spoke of their demanding jobs.
	Must soon get back—tick-tock, tick-tock!

	So many things they used to do,
	they’ve little time for nowadays, 
	like board-game nights...

Hello, Sistar Sapio

Can I have a moment of your time? 
I just want to express what's on my mind
I would like to know,
Can you go?

Better yet, will you come with me?
To a place where our...

I’m sitting on my lawn chair
Outside the night is cool
I hear the trees swaying
The breeze chills my skin
It knocks on my hippocampus  
Am I here or where it blows?
Breeze, you are timeless
From queens to...

You are a hole in my head;
when I look inside, I see a dentist's drill 
grinding sweetly against my hippocampus
and it must have hit a tear duct by accident 
because when I wake, it has...

Waves pushed a torrent of power and might.
Against the tiny creature seemingly lost in the night.
With only the moon to navigate her path,
Little seahorse galloped—
	Giddy up—giddy up—
Hungry suitors let her pass, tonight peace without wrath.

Hippocampus—was...

DREAMLESS ALPHABETS


Aphelion my long time residence
Banished into a dreamless existence
Cannibals surround the escape routes
Diligently feeding my doubts
Eagerly anticipating my demise
Ferociously preparing for my conclusion
Gathering hippocampus, for seasoning
Hors d’oeuvres, bloody temporal lobes
Impulsive, angry, throwing away all...

Prisoner mortally confined,
plotting your escape like Papillon,
conceiving freedom like a zoo animal.
Then dreaming on, 
you meet a flying child in all your mirrors.
Nearly weightless, pulled in every gale,
lifted like a kite,  
catapulted high over...

I once was a beautiful lass
	who captured every young man’s fancy
A nymph of the high Southern class
	who practiced a belle’s necromancy.

They worshipped my haughty fine grace
	they catered to temper and whim
A moment to gaze on...

Some people are convinced that they possess
Accomplishment within a certain art,
Yet sound, impartial judgement would conclude
That they have little talent to impart.

In contrast there are those with aptitude
Who never share the gifts which could inspire,
Reluctant...

Oh
That's  strange
Shh quiet 
Internal system
Do you all hear that
Does it sound or seem like she 
Is at peace today
Quick
Someone do something
Make her think
Of anything
To disturb and irritate
Her serene state
Quick hippocampus 
Flash a memory 
Of...
