mine was the labor in poems
i walked the high iron
she taught the deaf to speak

Some place somewhere,in nowhere
Oh! come dearly wind,come to the place and everywhere
Were it not bad of you to bend and bypass us in your haste
Eternal it would be-had love been bethrothe'
To the valley,slummed with valour...

That one-eyed god,
that strange god
the colour of the sun,
leonine, speaks
in strange ways to me,
waking me up
purring seductively,
message received
obliquely through
the smaller
sentient sapient,
strange little creatures
of large stature visiting,
just like
I am,
visiting,

Kaleidoscopic Webbed Wide World Deux
Carte blanche,
this scribe bandies, exercises,
and indulges inexplicable gravitas
drooling, extolling, and fielding greatness,
frothing handily, indubitably jinxed,
linkedin as some lingual philanderer,
which oral intercourse,
this sensate being suckles
figuratively das bosom

Untitled 19
Look closely. What do you see? A white rabbit in snow.
No? I’m the memory of a bride, wedded to eternity:
an extincting marriage. Draped in a pearl gown.
Laced to the throat. Dressed like some decadent...

Dead Cow
It was a time to bond and booze with dear Papa,
An interval all the more naughtily charming
As it inflamed the temper of irascible Mama.
Before happy hour, we two went shooting
With the three o three I...

Each Passing Cloud
In the ebbing glory of the night
As the moon with a pallid face
Moved away and hid herself,
The sun with his lustrous rays
Appeared through the cracked walls of the sky,
To wake the sleeping hamlet.

A Mysterious Voice
From here and there, I hear him speak
His voice, falling in mild whispers
But he always plays hide n’ seek
Never once I could see his countenance
At times he speaks loud n’ clear
Sometimes so harsh and stern
How...

Moon Mirror
The sun, going about her daily chores,
glimpses a new star in the sky,
one smaller than herself,
yet strangely familiar.
Used to catching her image first in puddles,
then growing larger in lakes,
she at...

The Unholy Terror of Little Tom
THE UNHOLY TERROR OF LITTLE TOM
The bashing sounds of thunder echo in reverberation
to the electrifying bolts of lightning that illuminated
every single room from dark to light just seconds earlier.
Sheets of rabid rain torpedo...

Kiosk Now
My infancy was the time for imagining your unique beauty
As the saprophyte danced in the magical fountain of ambiguity
You ingenuously stole my pulverized heart with your duality
Your ironware, I mean those muscles, were more than...

There Is Only the Sound of the Steam Escaping
City spreads out with a turned cold shoulder
so cold you begin to break apart
so empty, heat cannot keep warm
the silence so loaded.
you go back to the place you remember.
you go back to these things that...

Painted Smile
It’s all an act, can’t you see?
A pretense of Shakespearean complexity
A mask of so many layers it’s hard to hold
Yet it only gets heavier as this sorry life unfolds
If you really cared then you’d see...

Ode To Robert Frost
Mr. Frost I could have met you had I tried.
You were born in the same year as my dad,
With a decade yet of living when he died.
I could have sought you out and wish I...

I Died a Little Inside
Taking my place in your gazing blue eyes
Who stole the glow of my dawning sunrise?
As defiling your virtues you obliquely lied,
Pounding my heart till I died a little inside.
When a brilliant sunny day said goodbye

The Body Personal
The body-personal will be achieving little today.
Today is a too tight T-shirt.
Bloat and insomnia
have measured and found soft round toads
croaking in the swamp of being.
There are squawky
oral articulations in dry joints.
A fate has made its...

Unveiled
At the mellow edge of dusk where the sky
is opaque and blushed,
a languid fade of light obliquely dreams.
Eyes bruised by loss are made translucent,
a sorrow is captured, a memory mirrored.
There upon the evening’s march,
a Goddess...

A Sad Pavan For These Distracted Times
An almost April falls as if the season
were feeble and elderly already.
It is a Pavan for a dying princess;
see how she is laid upon the yellowing grass
her beauty reflected like icy droplets on Spring stems.

The Flamenco Dancer and the Bull
The Flamenco Dancer and The Bull
The acoustics of your snuffle
is an absolution
of a descending staccato
in an E chord.
Behold, my lancing third,

Bleeding Day
Bilobed ginkgo resolves the conflict
of soul and body on the right side of truth,
laid out on a table visited by desolation;
here comes the crash of bodies.
You stand up against the end of beginning
