Mighty Oak Tree, Its Acorns Fed Many
Mighty Oak Tree, Its Acorns Fed Many
(A Native American Food Source)
Hard-cast shell
flung down in Fall,
food for man and beast
nuggets of forested treasure,
Nature
sprinkles its bounty
majestic Oaks rain
fruited missiles to ground:
thy treasure feeds life itself
creatures...

A Matter of Faith
O balked from the tree of his righteousness
Dried out, crushed to bitter pulp, I am bleached
Of his nature, his image sin digest
Till I am a chemical drip, a leached
Embodiment of human reason, just
Paper without special...

Out of Exile
I am not a blank slate to score upon again
Yet there is this gap, this hollow place
That wants a name. I search for it in vain
The alien presence of eyes, and of face
Nothing comes back...

Never Land Part 6
The birds of pray are on their way, in every beak the Word
(of ptomaine tomes by gnarly gnomes) whose meaning is obscured;
they roost aloof on every roof, obscene but always herd,
to tell the tale of...

Two Guys I Worked With - Gone Now
Charlie. I worked with Charlie for 14 years. He was a little older than me, did the same job. Sure had the "highs and lows" - he must have been manic-depressive or bipolar or something....

My Modern World
My thumbs jolt around the bright interactive screen,
little letters appearing with each little poke,
typing way faster than the speed of a bullet.
Then the screen goes dark; i have finally awoke.
The trance...

Ballad
As Flies To Wanton Boys Are We To Th' Gods
66 Million years ago
Fireball from the sky hits
Echoing life-planet,
Snuffing almost all in darkness
Mouse like burrowing under the inferno.
1750
People harvested like wheat
Strong men, children and women
Especially women
Packed into sea vessels
To Build America
1854
Holding stinking...

Ohio Ashes
She’d kept the pewter dusted and displayed
since 1969.
A verdigris had leached out of the urn nevertheless.
She had been hard on him, had forgiven little,
but felt much closer now.
The television became a corner coffin,
its screen a...

An Evening Inside the Moon
We went back to my house,
our hands not holding
but lively nerves under our clothes
still slow groping the unseen.
The moon raced ahead of us
like a thirsty dog.
Mama wet her knickers earlier today
and she yelled at everyone...

Poetry Dreams
I dream fragments of poetry,
my pen balanced in my hand,
journal opened to that page
already darkened
with blots of frustration,
asterisks for seemingly important ideas,
collections of words and phrases
intended for collage and...

Reparation Rights
The groans of ancient years still echo in my bones. It is a pain
That lodges in the weariness of Africa. Curled in her, the strain
Of old world history. Out of her given darkness...

Vagabond
Old man vagabond searching for his home
Is this why you started to roam
Something in which you long ago lost
What was the cost
The price that you have already paid
Might of been easier should you of stayed

A Sense of Life
In this small square room of mental illusion,
I look at my reflection in a state of desolation.
I'm not what I am in this state of confusion,
I'm trampled on the ground by my sense of delusion.
I'm...

Inside the Moon
The moon raced ahead of us,
like a thirsty dog.
Mama wet her knickers earlier that day,
she yelled at everyone,
for she didn't see it coming.
Later, we teenagers latch-keyed in,
the empty house begged us to come together,
passion leached...

Magnetic
Surely you are a body heavenly
for you pull magnetic upon my soul
but ever since you retreated
Gravity felt onto my every whole
Calidity ever soft on my face
I can only but whisper your name
Pallid without your embracing...

Backstabbers
There are people who make up misguiding lies,
use words to hurt, wound and paralyze,
they put up'walls or mountains to the skies,
of unscalable heights and unmeasurable size.
They set us adrift on a windless wave,
to spew...

Sleepwalking fumes
rolled over the park,
perambulated in groggy circles,
then got stuck in the tree branches

Dudley (Another Milestone of Flanker's Past)
What made you turned from church
Like a derrick through the sky
Finding the unintended wall?
I did not see the bottle in your parents hand
It was a sober home I believe
And we shoeless then
Longed to walk in...

I Wade Into the Prairie
I wade into my creek...
I wade into the Prairie
Crayfish scuttle about my feet
I can feel its slippery algaed rocks
slide perilously under my feet.
The sun is high
90 degrees, even in shade
in this stiffling July heat
Not a...

Ganesh In the Deeply Dark Dawn
Ganesh in the Deeply Dark (Dawn)
I sit, sullen
in this hot tub,
grown warm.
Here, I sit,
grown cold,
grown old.
The stars seem dim,
though neatly
arranged.
The dead leaves,
having leached their
green, beseeched their
sun-god, having breeched
their tip-top, up top, paraSol-top,
having reached the high...

Arab Spring's Fruitful Dividend
Dormant aspirations lie in winter's fallow ground
Burgeoning freedom furrowed in shallow soil; sovereign elements do pound
Infertile seeds in barren hearths tightly wound
A cold wind from on high scourges each, desolate mound
A dreary drizzle from hovering,...

A Seer's Omen
Like the lost sounds of evening bells
The voices of children pealing
The last lie of innocence in papyrus away;
Not the baubled brook in joy;
The rinsing screams soliciting crude customs back,
Spreading phonetic...

Until We Meet Again
My words seep onto the page like poetic tears
Drip
Drip
Drip
Words once leached from every inch of my psyche
Now my friends, my time has come
It is time for me to depart
The light in my life is fading
Soon...
