Long Rotor Poems

Continued from FREEZER MICE

The cat had travelled straight from hell, a hell beyond the stars
The cat that theories claim once levied genocide on Mars
She now seeks vengeance on descendants of the primal shrew
Whoever knew that...

I love it when Lisa and I take our show out and, on the road,
like this twilight helicopter flight, from New Haven to LaGuardia.
I’m so excited about tonight, it’s possible that I might implode.

The rotor...

I'll tell you of a legend who flew hard in Viet Nam
Of a pilot who flew everything, who said that's who I am
With a propeller or a rotor or a jet,...

Woozy the witch fuelled up her chrome studded besom 

Which was parked in the garage at the Cromlech at noon

She polished dusted and oiled the vintage broom’s motor

And applied magic spittle to fix butterfly wings...

Desecration, desertion, designation,
yours truly doth poetically dislodge
destabilization, destination, description 
I auto deftly, but did not dodge 

regarding destitution, hodgepodge
comprising 2009 Hyundai Sonata
wheely tired to noodge, yet cannot
drive out accursed tread
full fate, nor outdodge.

Critical breakdowns spanned...

Abundant Autumn


Cooling air with colouring redder skies
Fooling landscapes upon marram lies
Fuelling frosted with dewed sunrise
Ruling leaves falling from revver highs

Deciduous trees succus leaving nectars
Mellifluous winds creating rotor sectors
Ambiguous pigments in sexes of hectares
Conspicuous colours within...

The dawn of day breaks the night
Through cigarette smoke there's a hazy light
Cold shivers still remain
Memory of a face still causes pain

Homeward bound, no injuries to see
But will they ever care or know what's inside...

Listen To The Wind Blow (Colors)
Adam is for Eve
people watch them bleed
salute upon a pile of leaves
to fulfill a great need...

Listen to the wind blow
Sweet Charity
slow but blissful care
It's Christmas time,

Down to my last thin...

BLIND LOVE

“Six to ten inches”
That’s what the weatherman says
Snow-blower is broke
I with a very bad back
And my kid will have a fit

Asking him to work
Do his share around the house
Seems too much for him
Here he...

A kettle of vultures spiral
above the undulating waves of 
hot air over Baghdad
like rotor blades thudding through 
vaporless skies
dry as sand scoured bones
stripped pearl by razor beaks.

Cutting through the 
lung scalding crest 
in July, a...

I find little wrong with lotto.
They don’t play it in a grotto:
Hotels and parks lovers go to;
Camera free with its photo,
On some scene of play priest’s motor.
He knew where the rivers flow to...
 
Or should...

this is a painful math class,
and operations never had to be nice to us.
this is how life martyrs those who have been weakened by their own faults.
the desert is there to prove that pain is...

First I heard the rotor blades,
Their noisiness supplanting
The birdsong taking traffic’s place;
Then I heard the chanting.

Peering out the window, I was
Shaken and surprised
To see crowds of people marching;
It was later televised.

Wearing masks and holding placards
They...

Exposure and Disclosure

No matter period of time or which season
Surely there must be a rhyme and reason
After being entertained by her exposure
Republicans did announce its disclosure.

Might be standing or in position supine
Regardless she is best...

In rugged mountains of beige
A mission has been set
To rid a faction of rebels
Where conflict will be met

Eradication 
To return a country to good
Dispose of the unwanted
For the feud to conclude

Near the Helmand River valley
A...

Mom caught her boob in the washer’s wringer
Rotor made Mom an opera singer
    Tit for tat, she got redder
     Pop struggled with the lever
I pulled the plug, was...

Remember when we sat as family
before you named us monsters
fear us from the shadows
we use to hide from you
unicorns were meant to be
glad they are gone
look how you treated horses
heart broken in ragged shards of...
