Smelly Stuff Absorbed
Smelly Stuff Absorbed

incremental solid and deliquescent motions because ingestion fulfils that
autonomous need to shed ablutions but here I declare ‘Waste not Want...

Dark Matter Matters
Dark matter seems to be
What isn’t there to be seen
In between
What we see.
They dub it dark since you cannot detect it
Nor can they inspect it
With telescopy.
Yet, while it can’t be descried
It cannot be denied
For equations...

MY FATHER'S GENTLE HANDS
MY FATHER'S GENTLE HANDS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I remember my father’s hands as a plumber’s hands—fiercely strong, calloused, rough, knuckle-battered, and dirty after a long-day’s work. Those hands shoveled; unclogged drains and toilets; repaired leaks; and installed pipes, commodes,...

A Pity-Pillow
A Pity-Pillow So Comfy
Placed & Plumped Consolingly
It Is Plush & Puffed With Feeling Sad

Upon Hues of Blue & Charcoal-Lead
I Heavily Lowered My Bowed Head
As My Pity-Pillow's Pushy-Perfume
Overwhelmed My Canopy Bed
Silken-Sorrow, It Softly...

Is Friendship Just a Delusional Fiction
Is Friendship Just a Delusional Fiction?
Is friendship a lifeboat that floats on convenience?
Can we all divorce who we like with a gesture
that’s less than a wave on a looking glass seascape,
ignore too, the wreckage of...

Humanity
"Love is the strongest force in the universe."
Can this statement be proven true?
If I were to begin a search
And write down a hypothesis
What parameters should I observe?
Can love be seen under a microscope?
Can its depths...

Just Walk Away
Near forty years, I plied my craft,
Anticipated each new day.
Indeed, most nights, I would have laughed
To think that I’d just walk away.
I delved in magic in my time
I plumbed the depths with cryptic codes
With methods...

The Boys In the Back
The Boys in The Back
By Sy Roth
The right hand turned the waters 360 degrees
Then another willful rotation
Until the bubbling chicken-fatty waters splashed over the sides
While the boys in the back did their algebraic calculations
Considering the...

The Other
It is always there,
never quite within range
where the mind can snare
some shadowy form, or shape
an outline and hold it long enough
to name.
It waits for the sun to go down
and the evening to...

Sabien Allegra Baldwin S Prominence
SABIEN ALLEGRA BALDWIN’S PROMINENCE
The perfunctory of your heart is a projected being.
We are here to engender the mechanism.
You are just an automatic entity.
Insofar, we designed this engine.
Your torso holds the secrets.
We will write our Black...

What Now

come forth you say,

Where white of light will intercede,
The goodness of the world disguise,

2. attaining of your greed.
Another tune begins to play,

Dear heart alone and longing to smile
Tarry me your time, read my words awhile.

For a reason that this void in which I fly

For my sins and everything I ever did or sought to be,
Contempt and dying to be clever in unfathomed pools of sadness,
I plumbed each depth and splashed the ether, oscillated shakily,
Strapped to...

Cookie Jar
My childhood cookie jar was brown
And looked like it was Asian.
It must have been a gift, but
I don’t know for what occasion.
Bright flowers and some animals
Were intertwined with gold.
I always found it ugly,
Yet such sweets...

The River
I can hear the slow
thump and thrash
of a ship's propeller
churning the dark and see
the sheer black wall
of a hull slide by,
gathering the river in
like a skirt,
then releasing a train
of wakes to run
up banks and...

On earth’s unimagined vastness we creep
Yet unaware that she swims an even vaster pool
Whose abysses can not be plumbed deep
By the longest line of reasoning or rule
Each man tills his small part of the ...

Anna and the French Kiss
She’d kissed a lot of boys, and some kissed great,
but few of those guys understood romance.
She thought she knew what kissing style was best,
but she had not yet met the boy from France!

Unsilenced Silence
Fan spinning with an uneven blade

Traffic stopping horns blowing
Drunks stagger
A man yells

Horns playing jazz upbeat and in time
Smokers chit chatting on balconies with wine
The steel mill whistle sounds in...

I Said
I said on dawn
“You appreared too fast “

Silence of nature sleep

Accompanied me
