Long Macerated Poems

En-trumped

There are many en-tities. Narrative psychologist speak of living and telling 
a story. Our lives should be as we en-live them and en-story them. We tell 
our tale as we see it, at the moment...

Tick tick tick tick boom in an instant 
macerated flesh would be the last images 
of me I never wondered just what damages 
would occur from a car bomb being ignited 
right in my face...

You were my mind's cocoon ...

Oh, at first I ran, multi-legged, from the intensity of your intent,
  the fear of a love, transforming ... the weight of a passion profound.
    But...

Thralldom etched in Homo sapiens (mine) DNA

Though your true blue stated civilian
never enlisted nor impressed,
nonetheless I own an opinion
originally embarked on poetic quest
to express purposelessness,

when soldiers rest
at peace i.e. eternally,
many attired courtesy
smart uniform strong with...

It was surfers' paradise weather but he had only captured a dinghy

Made from lost dreams and drift wood collected in seasons of...

That 9/11 Day

I was eager that day, 
Just as I was

Embrace others
When I thought would, 
Make a good...

seemed to surround us the sun

it's own glow the clouds were...

Her mother looked with tears, heart leaking with pains
As the silent body of her newborn laid there
Skin peeling off with every touch
Skull losely packed with pieces of bones
Feeling like a jelly in one's hands

Salt has blistered,
nippers gnawed.

The carcass tumbles.
Tattered flesh flaps,
bone snaggles bone.

A figure emerges,
as if a mangled person
was escaping 
the weakening clutch
of tentacled coils.

Waves lap
at the lolling mound,
cavities rupture,
gas bubbles take

Broken lungs lay siezed as the air no longer 
drives through me on turbine wings.

Eyes rust over corneal layers 
festering with swollen contempt 
and grey-veined snarls.

Fallen muscle across macerated 
fleshy mouth masks lost words
that become...
