Long Slimed Poems

As I was walking swiftly
Just to reach Bajoga early
To see what a hot birthday
Will be chucked in the day
Of 27th of the october,
I collided with a creature
Seemingly so calm in nature
And so educated by sanity
With...

But we of the Three Tribes live undiscovered 
   In the reverberating stillness of the 
 Three Gorges...
And are therefore unknown to the warring mongol;
    His impassioned lusts -- his...

There is a water glint,
just shining through the copse beyond.
Autumn's sinking sun, 
barred by spindle trees and the last 
of summer's brindled reeds 
and sedge and rush that fringe this stilling pond.

Damp leaves hide...

Salutations!

Are we all just a figment of GOD's imagination? 
Or just a simple angle of schematical equation. 
Perhaps, we’re just a footnote in God’s mental thots? 
He’s gotta BIG BANG Universe to run, does He...

Urges ushered Est’bel out of her abode –
a cottage cobbled together from cobwebs and clapboard – 
and she scuttled forth,
her nesty hair tousled
by a leaf-laced breeze

In her bony hands she clutched
dregs of a nightmeg broth

Aye, Spanish Needles, far from native shore
We the Diaspora exult to meet
Though our station, not what we dreamt of yore
Is battered by grimy dust and slimed sleet
Aye, Spanish Needles, still unbowed you stand
A dazzling prince...

FOR THE NEW TORCH BEARERS (REVISITED)
	        (APROPOS MLK: PART 2)

They voyaged over many tempestuous oceans and seas; 
They were pursued in woods by vicious dogs—dogs 
Salivating stale slave...

Righteousness expressed in struggle’s ply,
 comes shining in a single lifetimes chance;
 From life’s shadows dim a gift will rise,
 explicit in one solemn watcher’s glance;
 Prosperity’s plex is so placed in hand,
 but fortune’s...

Nothing this woman does surprises me.
The tip of my tongue still alive 
with her taste; with salt 
from the reservoir gathered
in passion and pondered by three sheepish freckles 
left blushing near the small of her...

Wind-gathered winter leaves hide the worn 
Inscription; the birth, the death the epitaph 
On show for all who take this path 
To know Sir John is buried here 
Beneath his coat of arms.

My entire history is not as it should be
I am always now a proximal potential
Twisted into whirlwinds by latent agony
And you the cause of fate's differential
Of mass and fortune, of virtue
Slimed by malice that you...

ADIOS MACHO IMAGE

How many times I’ve said those four words –
To put it bluntly    a real man was hairy
If bald    he grew a beard and moustache...

There once was a fight on my plate
In front of my face while I ate

The Broccoli on the left picked up its Spear
And stabbed the Corn on the right, right in the Ear

Nature's anvil your hearth did score
Fodder pared from such balmy core
Residual chaff bartered to marine store 
Parceled for distant, steamy shore

Billowy waves, your shallow mast is born
No banner, gilded sails your trite estate to adorn
Rudderless barge,...

Priests of cave temple
go to sleep. Street urchins
drink the thinner, eat nail polish,
crushed lizard for a kick and then
go without food for three days.

The valley burns. Of what consequence?
Sting of truth overreaches. Another committed
icon walks...

Each time you call
Your hunger from a prayer's edge
Tangled like a wing
In human webs of knowledge,
Your voice like a ticking clock
Hovers over a deeper fall
From the rock
Of faith made slippery like gall
Slimed upon our perseverance
Each...

The team was on the field and victory was at hand. Yes, everything seemed wonderful, then
David slimed the band. He did it with such style and grace you'd think that it was
planned. Not one musician...

Tide slurps wet kisses on weed slimed stone jetties
The wind slaps sandy fine grit into salt dried eyelids

And the sun shines on

Gulls scream challenge as clams dig spurtingly deeper
Shells roll and tumble wave dancing on...
