Long Splice Poems

“The Splice of Life”



When colour 
was to be 
washed out
of the world 

the evil ones 
didn’t care

the Actor led 
with his 
Dementors 
either side of him

Laundry, 

they resolved 
to be the best 
pristine method

Whoever might with just free words beside
Speak of the blood and in full too of sores
Which I saw now, with a narration wide?

Any speech will sure fail to open doors
To our sermon and for the...

To interview you in the hope you'll confess....

Maundy Thursday, we know clearly,
The Christ did say: "Remember me..."

The ritual tale of the Master,
Washed feet availed, fond kiss rendered.

How humble then, that sacred act
Of loving grand in precious pact.

The supper room where The Christ...

that his grandfather told him to sit down,
there was a story that he had to share,
that he was finally old enough now.

Sabati looked up to Grandpa Kaahbli,

consider the source
could tell had been a big horse
could run a great course
(who we did endorse)
(in state of remorse)
(ran while in full force)

a place we would reach
where trump will have to impeach
contract he did breach

A sizzling hot pancake metropolis
   Kingsize of all market places,
   Every mystery is salable 
   The wind and shadows move and speeds transaction times;
   And the delicious...

I bent over to touch my toes
               and the ground tore open like a backbone.

I tried to feed myself the sky;

I really have outdone myself this time!
My ‘God Machine’ is finally in place!
I’ll never have to fret about a rhyme,
Or stop for a red light that changed from green 
As if it sought to put...

You are the dusk that masquerades as first light.
In the stillness of descending twilight,
your spellbinder's expectorant 
opens the passageways of the feeble, 
weevles like...

Duct Tape Will Fix Most Anything

By Elton Camp

It’s one of the most versatile products I’ve seen
Duct tape, whether it’s gray, brown or even green
Any cracked tiles you don’t really need to replace
A bit of sticky...

“The Gods have been most cruel”
Said the old man to me
Standing inside the sun’s light
Casting a long shadow 
Over barren rocks
“Most cruel to you”

“Most cruel” I echoed
Tugging at my chains
That hold me fast between my...

Darling you're a dim bulb
That's far too afraid to shine
Full of whimsical charm
That's difficult to define

An excellent mountaineer
That's too scared to climb the vine
The Beanstalk reaches the clouds
Imagine what we will find

Kick off your goody...

Hieronymus Bisch, a swamp-dwelling fish,
musician extraordinaire carved out his niche,
by gathering the garbage humans tossed away
cleaning and sawing, was determined to play
his compositions for the entire neighborhood
and I must tell you, he is very good.

A horror is born
Star of the show, The Zombie
Go and break a leg…

One, seemingly whole
Sound in mind, body and soul
Unaware the toll

The exacting price
Sins of the genetic splice
Specters claim last rights

Starts off slow and sure
Sneaking...

We can see you standing there,
On people, you don’t care.
Think that we don’t know?
Soon you’ll be exposed.
Wearing crowns of riches,
While we mend our stitches.
Looking down on us,
While asking for our trust.

Burn, burn, take me away,...

The excavators are all out, digging deeper into my soul
Scavenging to find the last remains of gems, oil or gold

My life is put aside, as they only search things of worth
With all my resources of...

Caw, Caw, the voice is rusty and the fry will always be true
The crows don’t know a suit, a camera, nor a comma splice
War Machine MSNBC has messy hair and forgot to tie...

CONUNDRUM
By Leon Enriquez


Such are the seven ages of man:
Life’s true conundrum in fresh game plan —


“Sleepy” the helpless infant child spills,
Crying bouts as strange wonder reveals;


“Happy” the whining schoolboy thus drills,
Fumbling with painful...

Leaning against the door frame. Slight smile on the face of this slip of a woman. In her colorful turtleneck sweater
 rising over a slender neck to greet the curve of her jaw..

Once again I'm here to testify
Beg your God to bless my life! 
Senior citizens point me out as the devils advocate
So extravagant, A prisoner of my own arrogance
Passed a black rose and saw Satan blush

The deadly comet is coming
Earth stands in its way
Like a splice between Armageddon
And Independence Day
Spaceships above our cities
Breaking new, "We're not alone"
Like a new Dunkirk evacuation
To take us to a new home

Trusting my intuition
I elect...

She lingers under the lemon tree
Savoring pungent disappointment
Eager to soar with the honey bee
Far from the burden of bereavement

Sinew and bone rattle with such great force
Yawping at the void till the voice grows hoarse
Consciousness gasps...
