Long Radiohead Poems

“Before The Firing Squad”



the firing squad 
came dressed
in faux smiles

the intervention cake 
was spoon fed, like honey,
by mother superior

to the lesser bee,
with self-righteous
magnanimity

she wore the badge
Devil’s Advocate, proudly,
without any clear authority

casting bloodied 
nasturtiums around the...

You are now about to witness my lack of street knowledge
Straight outta lockdown,
lazy brother named THE DUDE
Formed a gang called diggers With Altitudes
Work is called off, I got a paid off
Strains getting quicker, and bodies...

"Conversations with a Daughter: Creeps"



Time creeps
my beautiful, clever, daughter 

Weirdos are us 
incorporated 

There's that beautiful laugh,
that beautiful smile

Who wants to 
belong here 

they keep you on 
the outer edge

that’s cool, 
take all the time...

"Piranhas"



Piranhas
thrashing tales
to the feeding frenzy
de rigueur

someone’s torn
they can smell the blood

pointing fingers in a mirror
writing with burley
on their star studded
glowing wall 

craggy oysters
peppered salty
grey and green 
furry mouthed

blunt, stunted minds
lacking wisdom

scattering envy 
curling vitriol
like iron...

"The Chalice of Murdered Crows"





How many moonbeams
would it take to overflow 
my chalice bathe me naked
dew kissed diamond glistening
bare skin freedom feet seeking
my missing, slow dancing lover’s athamé


How many sunbeams
would it take to burn 
your...

My path beyond the shores of time
from life to there are maritime ripples.
Harrowing blades of rain
hammered from storm-clouds shatter puddles
of glass to rolling streams of echoes,
Misery’s trail towards cleansing waters:

A bloody throat gasping for water...

I see you hipsters in rustic coffee shops with pictures of Marlyn Monroe and contemporary art, 
the girl in all black with a black beret to make her look more avant-garde and red colored hair...

Kawehi : Part Five


You’re taking me back, to back in the day.
I love this Garbage music; you can still create a smile upon my face.
Pour some misery down on me and I will find a...

Excuse me but I have to ask,
I may not always love you,
Just a coffee please, thanks very much,
It’s not always good news you know,
What’s that band I like?

     I’m sitting here...

I've just hula'd for the entirety of Creep by Radiohead
I believe if I can hula through more songs from the 1990s I will turn back time
Not in a Cher way
Maybe in a faraway silhouette way
And...

Love will win…in the end.


We are meteors on a collision course with love.
We have seen the hard times and we have had enough.
Golden band promises do not seem to mean a thing,
To those who claim...

"Sung In"



We are notes 
on the tongue 
of God 

Each of us words
in a never ending 
sentence

Music is math
God breathes us in 
out of Time

We are but droplets
past and present
participles

wet behind the ears
unable to hear...

There isn’t a true home
No matter where I live
Everywhere feels unknown
Too long to only feel under achieve

I did not choose to become who I am
I only realize along the way
Pushed and push again beyond what...

"As dead as leaves" I'd taken leave
of any sense for life’s new lease.
My wish - to be the  centerpiece.
How very reckless to perceive

my charms like magic could unweave
tight-woven strands, pursuit's pet peeve.
Desire was merely...

"Candy Rock"



"Suck on my brain
like a lollipop,
fond regards"
she says,

"hard as 
Candy Rock"

Somatic movement, self embrace
Inner strength when world to face 
It's all about marked improvement
Self embrace, somatic movement 

My energy leaches, cannot be stored
What to expend, what can I afford
Let me rest, my mind beseeches
Cannot be...
