Long Outworn Poems

Invisibly tortured courtesy existential nihilism

Psyche wracked with agony
impossible mission to extricate lovely bones
they wanna remain permanently abed.

I chiefly function to amass knowledge
courtesy assiduously, habitually,
and judiciously reading
an eclectic assortment of written material.

Yours truly woke
with ambition, disposition,
inclination,...

I contras life's ecumenical demand!

Desolate me with the edged limb.

A comatose where life and I unwed...
As minutes kiss my...

We have sprinted on our paws
from silver fields into the ashen corridors

How early we set our alarms, how grown up,
who don the coats of men,

who drive on four wheels down Park Avenue

in the waterfall 
of random thoughts
spherical occurrences
linear streams
tentative transitions
blurry-edged scenes
where is it
from whence did it come
I am superimposed
juxtaposed
in it  
undone
frothing about
tossing it out
world in peril
running out of time
everywhere I look
there’s all the signs
daring dances

Waking everyone, including the birds whom use
our tattered raffia hut as nest
I know why she cries though
The small giant has used her long thin deadly
needle to...

Poetry: A Mythic Bird,?

Flying over diverse landscapes,
?Catching clues, cryptic signs,?
Messages from mysterious places,

?Beings, our starry ancestors,?
Mirror-earthly poets here,?
Resonating in rainbow hues,

?Refining, surrendering, creating,?
Poetic cosmic web, symbolic net,
?Casting visions into an infinite ocean,?

Or into invisible etheric...

Curled around my pillow like a fog
What was it the morning stars sang
Before a tree became a fire log?

I do not think I like this place
This limitless paradise of ease

Slicing thoughts, destiny
timeness of present, trying to watch
inside. The inverted question. Mask
removed.

Your own progeny spying on you,
disowning the moon bears. Beyond
truth was a huge wall. Ensnarement.
Whispers silenced.

A vast void. Interpretation of disguised
Voilence. Hostilities in elliptic...

Sometimes superstition mates with
scare in the wilderness of the
subconscious mind – some
apparition will be 
the offspring.

Like a fried sardine, her body 
lies on a mat within
