Long Meltdowns Poems

It’s the same everyday
The same wind, the same lush
The same whisper, the same tale
Yet, in the mist that blows
Through the sunlit meadows
I hear the same voice
Echoed different
Each time.

As my gazes fall
From the subtle ocean floating...

With thanks to the Environmental Defense Fund,
Advice from ecosystemic pantheists

PENGUIN:

Dive into life;
Avoid undiving into dying, stagnating in reverse-time ruminations.

Appreciate regenerative daydreams;
Depreciate decomposing nightmares.

Take long intuitive wilderness walks
away from short deductive domesticated pathways.

Stand together;
Avoid falling apart.

while rumbling over these burdened tracks,
to silent Garden City, up...

“Embrace and Release”

In the quiet of night, I pondered—
the art of severing ties, like pruning a tree.
The weakest links, once tightly bound,
now set free, like a maiden’s unclasped bra.

2024 dawns, a canvas for transformation.
Covid’s grip...

Poetry notebook in my jittery hand, I vacillate
   what if she finds it dull… obtuse…
   beneath her... culturally insensitive?
What if she laughs at its pathos,

A wet coin on the mall floor
of sanity's foolish hope

Lies next to others
thrown away by desperate measures
with limited dreams

Their broken backs
walking with stolen canes
