Long Spiky Poems

Spouse cannot forget mine suppressed flatulence upon our first date

While yours truly sat here 
at the desk housing MacBook Pro,
pondering his next idée fixe apropos
for gamut of anonymous readers,
he unexpectedly, noisily and effectually
exploded out rear...

........Cactus
....Water Towers
Isolated desolates
Wrapped in spikes
Fluted aqua Greys
Or in military green
Reaching the skies
The desolate cacti 
The desert fingers 
Withholding blaze..
Desicating breeze..........

Where not a blade....................
Nothin' germinate......................
Them root in dust.....................
Wasteland, gravel.....................
The fluted barrels......................
They shrink in dry......................
Bellow up...

Enforcement of the strengthening light, 
In its deliberate and unconcerned   ...

I'm a fairly active charter member
of Connecticut's Medical Marijuana Program,
qualifying because I'm also one of the oldest HIV+ survivors in the U.S.

In fact, 
not a single cell within my entire organism

One particularly stormy day, I wandered along a back alley way.
I slipped on my galoshes and fell headlong into a gigantic storm drain.
It was a pain, as away I went, tumbling around in the pouring...

Enter beside the hollow log mailbox.
Here the road leads through a profusion of leafy damp shadows.
Wild ferns are the underbrush
where Fairy Wrens flit from the slightest presence.
This driveway winds by towering bush gums flanked
on the...

Rubber lover, Zipperella, 
is not a brother or a fella. 
He has false tits and kitten heels, 
not a chest and ankles made of steel 


His spiky rubber bag is old, 
cleverly patched with a...

the faded little girl    braids and bows

And we’re leaving behind a hurricane that attacked the Midwest from all sides.
The crops were lost as months of over 100-degree temperatures, drove...

Going through some old things that just had to go,
I came upon something that nearly got tossed.
Memories came to me from long ago. . . . 
I thrilled that my treasure was no longer lost.

cinnamon seeps into the home and I can already smell the sugar crumble

I won't ask one question,
just stab my pen in
and draw out the ink,
nothing will stop my flow
with crimson words
and chunky verses.

The night is dark
and streaked with grey.
Mist swirls around my ankles
like a lovers caress.
The moon...

Pondering meaning
Life, universe, everything
Heavy feeling

Amidst millions
Loneliness epidemic
Restore connections

Could I fly away?
My wingspan insufficient
Feathers of my mind

Angel brings me back
From those claws of death
Moonlight shows the key

Floating peacefully
Leaving stress and strain behind 
Catching calmness

Forest adventures
Lost as...

Imagine a long and winding line
all the way to Jabip
upon the handle of small grocery cart
envision mine white knuckle grip,
as the misses commandeers
moseying up and down every single aisle,
whereby an electrocardiogram
would indicate spiky...

One of the largest ever, Diplodicus - now there's a sight
 
Of Elaphrosaurus so...

In the tummy
	Of gray matter
	A grinder of ghostly gushes
	Sends down
	A pulse, cunning, brutal and nutty
	And the skull’s
	Soft mass………….
	Booty to desert vultures
	Pulling apart and tearing
	What not, nerves 
	Otherwise steely, so to say

I am a woman.
I may be small, but I stand tall.
I am not a little girl. 
Yes, I've been squashed, and quashed, and messed and bossed about. 
I've bowed down trying to hold my ground,...
