Long Pummelling Poems

“Come on, let's get introduced to my play mate in a palm.
Linda, these are Joshua’s true other selfs.” 
Lelia emitting a peculiar chuckle.
A comic situation arose where I changed my voice for each of my...

Harriet Harris, née Kuritsky gave up the ghost...

~ May fourth, 2005
wedded bliss nearly fifty years
half a century almost

she (when alive) did boast,
about youngest sister and her family,
unlike me – severely...

I hear the squelch of sorrow nearing me once again,
pummelling with the purple pulsation in the frail vein.
Sadness encloses the mind-soul-body trinity,
the sound of its footfall trails the echo of eternity. 

In the dwindling day...

the old sea-pool churns out fun
  frantic heads flick side to side, limbs flashing, thrashing
  some are slicing, cutting through
  elegant submariners chased by water-wake
  here is one of distinction!

i know what you know
i know one of us has to go
one of us has to become an ex-resident
and that takes precedent

we used to be able to calmly speak
but your pummelling of my body left...

for J.C. Alldridge

Full pummelling fisticuffs
Stitch over stitch
In and out
Imperceptibly kaleidoscopic
Swirling from ear to ear

Thrumming mystical notes
Notes of whisper
Whisper in the ear
Now a bothered swish of clawing
Cleaving slipping fingers
Immalleable rolling universal ball

Microcosmic needle into
Macrocosmic wool all
Silently...

With a heavy metal rod of death
No mercy forgiveness am Dying

Too early for festivities, Christmas stillness crouches
Soon puncture of anticipation unpacks gifts
Humid harassment, curtain pummelling sun pounces
Dull of smug day blocked, first denial assists

Performed to prosper, biology reaps what's obtainable 
Demanding we sit attentive in...

Aahhh sumptuous beloved nineseventeen

calling for hot frothing, purling, bubbling steam

laving eager flesh with honey scented cream

strategic jets pummelling tight spots unseen

hand languidly reaches champagne flute between

naughty nibbles on silver dishes that gleam

reflecting radiance of goddess...

I heard the squelch of death nearing once again,
pummelling with the purple pulsation in frail vein.
Mortality enclosed within mind-soul-body trinity,
the sound of its footfall trailed the echo of eternity. 

Air of twilight hour resonated in...
