Long Sequestering Poems

Why is it
as I watch The International CEO Actor
unilaterally Ordering disinvestment
in both domestic and Earth's cooperative-organic health,
I feel cold harsh January snowblow storms?

Dismaying cold
calling me toward hibernating silo of unencumbered sleep,
possibly to dream of sequestering...

        TOO SOON A SPITTOON 

Somehow he has survived
Through due diligence and by sequestering his soul off the corner of “Hate Street” and “Greed

There are those engaged in pedagogy
To facilitate the drip... drip... drip
Of poison to accost a child's ear.
Maneuvering with glee and juicy decadence...
Sequestering all they say and hear.

Filled with righteous indignation
And a blind sanctification to their...

For months, I've come to sense it well-
     that loneliness, as none before.
In feelings of unrest, I dwell
     on what is now- and what's in store.

At first,...

I see the sky
as one more reaching
past the isolation of myself
past imprisonment, the status quo,
and then I know I am complicit
in my own sequestering--
that the horizon
borders only dreams postponed
by fear,
by my own reticence.

Push it back!...

It seems to happen frequently
At least in this millennium
All the freedoms we enjoy
We now must keep to minimum

They say we must can cel our plans
And figure out why tissue
Has disappeared from grocer's shelves
When toilets aren't...

The ocean, eternal, spreads wide
Reflecting slate, somber storm clouds
While beachgoers, eight stories down,
Gather towels and scurry fast
From a squall shedding white lightning,
Dull, delayed drumbeat of thunder
Touching my ears as your fingers
Cover my hand on the...

There are many,
the threads of a public life
always unravelling
into more sadness.

We read of so and so
and his ending
her dire departing.

The sadness is a gesture,
an acknowledgement
that we knew all along.

Last days
withdraw into a quiescence,
a sequestering of...

Shadows of succulents surpass my seeing self
I lie on my back, admiring the seductive symmetry
How does nature manage to secrete similar signs
Is there a mystical, magical, movement in her roots?
I am at a loss to...

The Bulldog Turns 30

Welcome to the days you shall not for long in life recall.
Welcome to the days you will with but one song recall.

These days are sharply bright, more so in their deeply falling...

This earth circumnavigates in a solar trajectory.
It continues rotation during chaotic lawlessness.
When starless nights rule the terrestrial scenery,
my lantern illuminates my path through the darkness.
 
In animation during a timeless sequestering,
my character is unhampered by...

Some flowers bloom well into twilight,
the dark does not assault them
it folds gently, it entices,
it allows flowers to succumb
but for a little while.

How unlike is the glaring light?
How it enslaves and pinions
each reaching stem
and then...

Adjectives hid in the deepest shadows 
behind smelly sticky stinky garbage dumpsters
rats squatted on them

Adverbs tore verbs into tiny manageable bites
and nested on them, after they were gooey, snarly and moldy.

Nouns appeared stuck up prissy.
Refused...

Early dawning of The Season,
Close knit, yet far sighted.
That jazz trio and song in the shadows,
Lobbying One Hope, and One Light.

A watchful gaze, piercing darkness,
The eye of the night, mesmerizing in fullness.
The sweep of The...

Requested to linger
one could never vacate
Your love, a pillar of puissance

Visions of you,
entangled in impassioned embraces
consume sentinel contemplating you slumber

Looks given, resulting kiss
linger sweetly through waking hours

Night explodes
her gentle white sacrifice
Sequestering mortals, a lover's sanctuary
