Long Impassible Poems

Little girl, you who plays princess with the glittery hat perched on your head,
The ribbons cascading down from its tip, tears from your heavenly eyes,
The scepter of a metal pipe and ball gemstones in your...

The emotion of your call came over me and I can't stay impassible 
this silent keyboard which I can get wonderful sound
my fingers are moving, and can not resist petting and be sensible
the first notes...

The river’s running higher than the river’s run before
I knew it was; there’s three feet of it on my kitchen floor
And next doors garden shed came crashing into my front door
But I needed a number...

astronomical anatomical atoms
buying brilliant blubbery bimbo blobs
collecting claustrophobic colorized clandescently clams
depicting deplorable dependable depraved dendrites
enticing and enlisting energetic enthusiastic enigmas
finally fueling fussy frisky flatulence, forming fleece finders
giving gluttonous glorious gargoyles grinning grace
holding heavy-handed hospital heathens
Ignoring...

I transformed Iowa’s meadows and forests overnight
Changing her children’s delight at first snow to fear of the cold
Gloating and laughing, I introduced some to frost bite.

Exiting the Clouds

 

Entering one's Now

How long the traverse
Mountainous obstacles

Whiting-out our vision
Deafening...

Standing portrait of impassible,
Another added pace of traditional is but a conflicting mystery.
Heart teary dwell,
Soul overwhelm journeyed.

The obsequy closed with an
Elegy
Rigmarole.  Rigmarole....

Backlit snow-covered mountains in a Swiss hamlet
A place I have dreamed about but have not actually met.
Saturated in snow, covering black evergreen trees.
A magical place, in my dreams, that feels like a tease.

I create an...

I have seen you in deep dream
Suddenly you came near the heart
Now its feel impassible to forget you
Now you speak what to do
With the appeal of sunshine
With the touch of golden rays
You now become the...

Her will is iron, baked in an ashy bleakness over eyes that were once bright

       –she longs to break. 

A thousand tears would evaporate on this impassible rage,
