Long Mushed Poems

Man I'm still standing & demanding though demand is drained
You can look in from outside see but not feel the pain
I’ve been through mad drills harsh anger & changed my face
quitting is Hell my friend...

A former slender man (lapsed Unitarian anorexic)...
deplores adipose tissue gain

No Holiday music can soothe savage beast
washboard abdomen weight watcher's dream fleeced
skinny bag of lovely bones permanently leased
body snatcher somewhere amidst policed

madding crowd of carolers singing,
where...

Somewhat spoken;
Smolding
 Broken
For I speak life I am whole
Not Broken BROKEN 


I know we are not broken
Yet there were moments Walking on the space covered ground Bronze Sand speckled dust every blade of grass on...

She was sitting on the edge of the bar stool
Not wearing anything but her wings.
I found it curious that no one else seemed
to want a peek and I could not stop peeking.

“What will you have?”...

In loving memory of Silly

The ominous clouds brew, icy darkness looms,
Evil cackle flashes sparks of its menacing fangs,
Sinking them deep into my soft yellow downy,
Yanking me apart, leaving me naked and lonely.

I shiver, tremble and...

I loathe shucking clothes,
(no matter eyes severely myopic)
in preparation for here goes
another warm shower quickly
relaxing this senescent
body ready to doze

soon after lathering
this blubbery body
most unwanted fat grows
on me, no matter healthy diet
of worms, or how...

Sweat broke my line of vision,
I couldn't see clearly, these demons were coming down hard,
Each blow shattering the little resistance I held onto,
Mercy wasn't a mantra these Gods acknowledged nor uttered,
Bruised lips and broken fingernails...

How could you turn out like this
Maybe it was something that I did
I know I made my mistakes and had you feeling like second place
But I renigged on that bid
But how could you
Make me choose...

a fraction of Gods action is what the world needs

Your words lance through to bone, acid sizzling into every hole
I haven't filled in, yet I dig, and ponder, and dig, filling in.

I still rock where the echoes of door slammed shut, bounce around
like a...

On the peaks of Mount Logan, I mushed our tobogan
Heading for Dawson and spring
As I camped in the Yukon,the memories of Tuscon
Were bright unforgetable things
The Klondyke had gold, but im fast growing old
And the prospecting...

Down the faithful brick stones he goes with his favorite monkey Spiff
through the alley where twilight glints soon turn from pinkish to gold
beneath a yawning sun. Bringing forth a new day, Tee Hee the nonpareil...

Gale force winds have blown away the top of his skull

Impaled by a fallen tree with the prison of his mind exposed

Tim’s pierced splintered and dismembered fragments

mash freely with mushed grey matter ready for take...

Alone and hungry
left leg aches like a broken peg
in the mugginess of its left slipper.

Not a good day for fixing anything
but the sealed and over salted,
the quickly warmed and spooned
that can be mixed into a...

A lonely little daisy sits in a field, whilst the world is passing by.
its a nice summers day, and the birds are in the trees
theres a beautiful big sun in the sky.

The daisy is all...

Our hearts agree, if we should meet death this night,
then death shall find, we do not heed its sense of doom.
A thousand times we would gladly die without fright
just to taste once more the nectar...

ALUMINUM SIDING

my heart is buried behind the aluminum siding,
trapped inside that bubbly feeling i’d get when your arms would graze my waist,
in the late night bus rides when the light slipping through the shutters swathed...

Bottled peppers, pickles, plums, old ladies stand
In small flock at the market gate
Their bottled things arrayed, their pastes and jams
Fruit that hung all summer fat then autumn picked
Mushed and melted, now fills random jars
And on...

Mary, Mary how contrary
why does your garden grow?
with old tin cans and frying pans
and muddy boots all in a row.

Car piled high with spider's webs
Their spindly smiles, their lovely legs.
Come and say 'Good mourn ye...

I was a happy little water droplet
Playing in a cloud
Until lightning struck 
And thunder clapped loud
Stopping all my mirth
Dropping me to earth

Joining many others
Of my sisters and brothers
Bobbing wild and rampant
In a surging torrent
Towards a...

Quietly waiting
at the table
legs swinging…
Then, Aunty Jean 
brings in
green soup.

Mother-glares at me,
sister-stares with me
at the cold green soup.
Is it medicine,
pond slime, 
mushed frogs?
...at least twenty 
spoonfuls long.
Silently I say, “Ugh!”

Quietly waiting 
at the table…
Aunty Jean...

Pink's the color of your lips
That I softly gently kiss
When your in my arms so tight
With hugs lasting morning and night

Pink polish being carefully
Put on so I can look pretty
For this special loving day
Of feelings...

Fraught, distressed, my love forlorn!
Ripped to shreds, my emotions torn!
Without you, I rue the day I was born!

Waiting for chips*
Hungry at noon
Vinegar, salt
Use a fork not a spoon

Eat by the sea
Where the waves are unhurried
Peas that are mushed
Sauce that is curried

Two slices of bread
A chip butty create
Overloading my buds 
Luscious carbohydrate

There are...

'I miss you.......
Spoken by many, meant by a few
Going through so much pain and sorrow
Only pictures left as reminders
Before you left it was so much easier
None of it matters anymore
So far you are not here...
