Long Reopening Poems

Candy floss, seaside rock, smoothies, and flags sporting
Union Jacks
Replace the old traditions of striped deckchairs 
And Kiss-Me-Quick hats.
Chipwicks for our salt and vinegar fries
And their pole-and-line freshly caught local Cod;
The Vintners Parrot: For thick sizzling...

Key to the abyss opening 
Cern is a wormhole experimenting into dark matter 
A satanic program making attempts 
to open the porthole to hell 
The statue outside this center 
is the pagan lord Shiva destroyer...

My Iphone softly played Reveille as my 4:30 morning alarm.  Without opening my eyes, I found the phone in the dark and tapped off the alarm.

I gradually worked my way out of the guest...

V.
Besides a rushing stream he saw a stone hut,
framed by aspens clinging to a rough slope,
the chimney was stained from long years of use,
But who lived out here? He just didn’t’ know.

Until his eyes happened...

but this government MANDATE 
from Harris County is unnecessary, 
unconstitutional, and unAmerican. 

It’s an unprecedented overreach 
which looks more like a communist dictatorship 
than a free Republic. 

And here in Texas
We believe
That people have to...

Poetry and lines,
Wine and mines,
War stories and their lies,
Ladies and size,
My palm wine drinkard friend anid his love for fresh strong wine,
My heathen friend's love for angry roasted swines,
My parson friend and his love for...

In his songbook,
are raving songs of beauty,
which thrushes around the phrases of my mind

and embroiders my soul on an errand 
into a white night of a white Christmas, 
in a white dreamland, 
and having sleepless...

There was a house. It had no rift,
Until one day, its foundation did shift.
Everyone thought it would last for sure,
Until one day evil knocked on its door.
It shook the floor, and windows too.
It seemed there...

During the day I don’t think much about ghosts…perhaps by the sun I’m blinded…
but in the quiet ebony of the evening…I’m a little more open minded.

I awoke in the middle of the night…(when you’re older...

Their satchels (twenty five) within auto-rickshaw seats dumped,
Same number (small and big; fat and lean; boys and girls) tight-clumped;
Some hanging; some stamping; some hitting and kicking each one;
The driver, gliding as though great battle won...

Christmas Time

Twenty five years and the pain still rages
I was told it would get better with time
But every Christmas it come like clockwork
Making me angry, sad, and even hard to go to work

Most other times...

First it was pubs that weren’t open,
And then shops that were not essential,
And then even schools weren’t admitting,
But to me that’s inconsequential.
Cos I haven’t got school age children,
But worried hotels were closed too
If I needed...

CHRISTMAS TWENTY TWENTY

Christmas twenty-twenty—the last week of the year,
A year so full of violence, a year so full of fear.
It started very early with a virus that they named
And spread so very quickly from China...

Some say that I have fallen
But I didn't have that far to fall
All I see is blood and brain matter on my wall
I check to see if it's mine
But my head remains intact
On my hands...

I feel you slipping away
With each moment of each day,
You went back to her
And suddenly I wasn't so sure
Of anything anymore,
You had closed that door.

I kept reopening scars,
Watching windows in passing cars,
Hoping you'd be back
And...

There’s no greater symbolism of life than a sunrise
It is reminiscent of the book of Genesis, “Let there be light”
The slow reopening of a blinded eyesight from prolonged darkness
Of a proud father smiling at his...

Natural sensory matter
organizes spiritual deep desires
metaphorically co-infested
co-invested
co-arising healthy space
wealth of timeless time
mindfully
playfully polynomial

Positives
more than equal not pathologies
naturally outside
remains not not spiritual inside
poly-estatic
panentheistic
polynomials
not not polycultural wisdom
polyphonically polypathic

LeftBrain thought
is an internally perceiving sense

Like right-brain implicit spiritual feelings

Speechlessly,
I fell to my knees
with tears in my eyes.

I wept, 
till I could not 
weep no more.

God stood before me, 
with his arms reaching out 
to pick me up.

Upon bringing me to my feet, 
I...

How can you be in the present
If you live in the past?
How can you move forward
If yesterday is where you stand fast

If history is where you erect your martyrs mast
How can you expect to last?
Why...

Silent rose, adrift on the morning's breeze,
In my misty, pale garden, she sails free,
Yet her scent makes my nose sneeze,
Paradox of quietude and vibrancy,

Her whispers like bells, sweet and clear,
Over bridges of time, a longing...

My eyelids flutter open
As my face is warmed by the sun
Yet the cool damp air keeps me still
My brown hair is matted down
I stretch out my arms
High above my head warming up the cold muscles
Slowly...
