In Honor of Milt

Backhanded Apology
Copyright © L MILTON HANKINS | Year Posted 2022

Sorry if I upset you,
I really didn’t mean it
Actually, I meant it
Until I saw it upset you,
Now I’m sorry you are
Upset by my words
But I got them said,
Which I intended to do.


L. Milton always impressed me with his sly humor amidst mostly very deep, spiritual thoughts. “Backhanded Apology” is  one of his well-read pieces at 742 views. This apology is perfect for a very public person who is subject to personal remarks which could be double entendre at the outset.  Milt was a fine person, likewise an excellent poet whose comments on my work were always positive and supportive. A Kentucky bluegrass native myself,  I applaud his choice of retirement residency in Ashland; it is close to his roots in WV. We will all miss him at Poetry Soup.

why do I love you when all haste say's 
that I shouldn't first there was rome 
the way the sun danced behind me 
over venice canals then there 
was Kabul the hints 
of the infamous mauve sky catering 
to my thighs I could even see how 
downtown  munich bathed beneath me 
an yet all I could envision is that day 
that way we danced at Langley 
how could our entire surroundings 
become so bleakly crafted 
above ancient tongues desire 
of youthful follies why do I love you 
let me count the ways 
when everything is said
I guess I loved you more 
when I thought you were dead 
somewhere over Arlington road 
meaningful gestures created 
with karma and military orders 
us sailing out to sea a quiet vessel 
wearing my name on the backside of forever

Inspired by my residency in Munich Germany

Here They Come 
Reflecting on When They Won 
It Is the Raiders Who Are Now Living Here 
To Allow Las Vegas To Let Out A Devious Cheer 

Jon Gruden Known as Chucky 
Will Hope to Roll Those TD Sevens to Be Lucky 
Then There Is Derek Carr In the Driver’s Seat 
Looking to Take Down Their Football Guest in The Desert Heat 

Las Vegas Gave A Piece of Land 
To A Well-Known Brand 
That May Import the Oakland Fan 
Wanting to Keep That Summer Suntan 

They Wear Their Silver and Black 
Ready to Defend the Gridiron Attack 
From LA, KC and Denver, They Will Arrive 
Trying to Come Up with That Weekend Lie 

Yeah, We Know How to Beat Vegas, They Will Say 
Until Check Out Time When the Raiderette Working Registration Requests for The Pay 
At Least Eight Times the Visitor Will Get Room Service  
Before Getting to The Stadium Where They Will Be Nervous 

Through Thick and Thin 
Remember What the Hotel Says Wynn Encore Wynn 
With All This California Stuff Buried in The Past 
Raiders Will Not Be in Last 

They Will Ride the Bronco at Gilleys 
Get Charged Inside Wet and Willies 
And When It Comes to The Chiefs 
There Will Be No Relief 

For All This to Work 
We Must Take Our Fork 
From That Imaginary Devil 
And Rise to The Raider Level

Jesus

Jesus

He gave His life for a worthless society
 And for those who would follow Him , He offered eternity
 God almighty willingly left His Heavenly throne
 And walked among earthy sinners
 Offering them residency in His Divine Home
 Angels must have cried tears of blood
 To witness what we did to God the Father and God the Son
 The Creator of creation , the most High
 And what shame they must have felt
 When He was crucified 
 They must have wondered why
 Their Lord above all Lords was willing to die
 For a fithy race wallowing in iniquity
 But thank God He did so for the likes of you and me
 We must never assume we can repay Him
 For what he has done to save our souls
 No wealth is able to cover the sacrifice Jesus gave
 So we might fellowship and be guided by the Holy Ghost

Silent Killer

Twenty-twelve attached her to her lowest points. 
Twenty-twelve couldn’t help her body fight the silent killer in her Veins. 
Twenty-twelve made a dramatic change to fight infection and accept treatment as the only option there is. 

She heard the words “I am sorry” for the very first time in her life. 
She also welcomed a new resident in her Veins. 

She who now was confused by the words she just heard and her surrounding, made an exit. 
She mirrored the distance to the classroom from the white tent full of needles with stairs suffocating her very last breath. 

Her exits were rather breeze and hotness felt all at once and the room welcomed her with darkness like a witch. 

Her eyes were wounded from tears rushing down like rain drops. 

Infection made friends with her veins like a reflection on the mirror and a simple short distance felt like miles as the silent killer made an introduction to her veins and residency to her blood stream. 

At that moment she wanted to make a prayer, but death knocked her over like a thief in the night. 

She made exits of her soul and paired disappointment with in-denial. 

All she heard at that moment was the sounds of her own thoughts and piercing of jabs from a dagger that felt like her own heart racing. 

She felt her soul descend from earth to a world unknow like an autumn leave and came face to face with her silent killer for the very first time.

We’re off to New Haven - hurry, hurry -
we’re jammin, crammin, slappin`
and slammin` everything into our bags.

“Fifteen minutes to take-off,”
Michael announced, “the chopper’s waiting.” 
with hugs all around we separated.

Our roommates too, are all catching flights
vectoring in from various sites -
our motley group will reassemble tonight.

Pew rated Yale one of the hardest universities
to get into in '23 - so is it really a certainty
that our cardkeys will let us into our residency?

Fall grades came out yesterday - Lisa and I are all grins
- we’ll have thirteen days to visit and settle in
and reorganize things before Spring semester begins.

I hope that your vacations were as fun as ours
but the New Year’s begun and in a matter of hours
we’ll resume the school grind, our holidays devoured.
.
.
NOTE: Michael was just hurrying us along, it takes ~30 minutes, in Manhattan, to go from Central Park South to the TSS Heliport - but it’s not like they’ll leave without us.

Premium Member Have a Nice Day H-A-N-D

I went to school,
  Learned the stuff;
    Did my residency,
      Suffered enough.

Got my license,
  Put up my shingle.
    Can I pay my loans?
      Will the register jingle?

Six patients an hour,
  Ten minutes each;
    Assembly-line medicine:
      No time to teach patients
      What to do,
      So they can benefit
      From what I learned in school.

Gotta move on
  Into the next room;
    Another case of sniffles!
      For this was I groomed?

I'm not saving the world,
  Just saving myself;
    The wolf's at the door,
      My dream's on the shelf.

So it's back to business,
  Better not tarry;
    Gotta make a living:
      I plan to get married
      Before I am buried
           H-A-N-D!
              Ciao!

The Seed of Love

Come, let us plant the seed of love, 

let's create what some scientist said that was impossible 

Let our love show in a magnificent way 

Let it be healthy, wealthy and wise in coming years 

It would be tears, it would be joy, 

He would be our love joy and our sweet boy: 

There is madness, there is happiness, 

However, as we all know, happiness is found in the 

Madness of one's life. 

“There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.” 

 
? Friedrich Nietzsche 

 

Enter me with the warmth of your love, 

Deposit the gift of life, as you seed flow and reach the tubes, 

One smart egg will bond to become our next generation 

 

Why would we do this, why? 

Love like this is rare, 

Come, let us plant the seed of your love  

And we shall see our blessing of tomorrow. 

Are you ready for fatherhood,  

Are you ready for the responsibility 

Are you ready to believe that one plus one  

Equal three, are you ready kuku? 

So, let's plant the seed of love. 

We plant this seed, on the bed of  

Residency the Blessing, on the coolest night 

In Accura, near the Gulf of Guinea, 

A sign of life, a sign of hope, 

You should plant this seed, 

It could be a future doctor 

Would care cure, senseless disease 

A politician who can change numerous things 

As he travels the world for free, 

And speak up about the country economy  

Or become the better poet, than his mother 

Could ever be, Lord blessed thee! 

One day his grandchildren will ask 

Who was my grandparents, thank God 

For them, that hour, when they planted the seeds.

Spirit Filled

Connection is an offering of messages as people who crossed over 
Connection is spirits of those we never knew 

The guides of offering life advice from the other side are special connection with the crossed over life that surrounds our energy fields, life offering, support and guidance 

The comfortability of guidance works with something we are unfamiliar with 

The deepest healing carries through generations of healers and stronger relationships through meditation, communication with the spirit or family lineage studies.

Our life path are provision of guides through experience as  verbal communication which can however not be of a great influence 

The utilities also help in developing psychic ability or offer loving support 
These are  as multidimensional beings, existing in physical reality but simultaneously not alone in the world 

The residency of our beings does not reside in other worlds but the higher beings classifying astral spirits that are in need of healing 

Desiring to be born, modernity recognizes our psychology that family patterning has issues such as addiction, incest, abuse and other complexes that are passed down to generations 
These allows healing of the spirit while affecting the living
