Long Strong as an ox Poems

After four weeks...
A cruel infection, poor Ted, now prevents
you receiving Mummy's milk; nourishment

of all who hope for you, so...

This is a story that goes back some twenty years
To when with the Special Olympics I did volunteer
I worked with the older Olympians who were kind of rough
Caring for them by other volunteers was a...

I think I’ll just stare at the wall for a while,
painted in latex, light beiges and creams
Searching for nail holes in random-like patterns,
counting the cracks that appear at the seams

Glance at the baseboard, an alternate...

Frigid and arid, the weather's nice
Much like our Motherland
And so we made it ours box of sand
As it made us its slaves
We tamed each other in shallow graves
Free from starvation,...

Now she lays in a wooden box
When she was fit and a young girl at that
The boys used to tease her

Once in a blue moon
Once upon a time
Time to wake up
Time to tell the truth

There once was a time
And a place 
With a different name
And a different face 

Bound by the shackles
And Kept out of sight
The fire it crackles
At the dawn of first light

Remnants of love 
Shattered about
They fit...

Take a look inside,
Both dead and alive,
Simultaneously?
How can we measure it,
If something is living, yet finalised?

Going to get a three point play,
Going to get it the old fashioned way.
Got to jump to the ball,
And be as strong as an ox so you will not fall.

Then chin it with your bows...
