Raise the white flag of defiance,
surrender to the hate

Offer no concession or compliance,
a vote count short 
is the winning debate

Cry ballot thievery trace:
Urban poll pickpockets, of color suspect voices,

and telescopic terrains will open,
as splendid as the midwinter constellations
sprayed in a barbarous sublimity across the sky,

Sochi Scraps
            by Odin Roark

Among my pen’s rifling

Seeking out beggary nourishment

A shantytown of doghouses
Provided by...

I caught you creeping around
with your spying eyes
Quick, furtive glances
betray your silent, stealthy movements
Human satellite camouflaging black cloud,
always in passing tear bursts,
secretly scans through a purse in my closet
Your dubious, devious actions
speak loud
Such churning, internal...

Relics holding drawers,a comely painted girl
Flipping nifty stories, the time goes flying high

They’re on the march again
Cool jerk protesting
has turned into 
hip-hop stylus skipping

That same delusional dream 
make you wanna ...

My stare caught a wisp fluttering wild

Calm and shaking my senses stood
Graceful smile which was...

Fingers flying, forming fiction,
transcribing, typing diction.
Always in a mighty hurry,
No mistakes, just more worry.

I will, I wont, no time to wonder,
right or wrong cannot stop to ponder.
Kill them, sock them, pound harder.
Fingers to the bone,...

Memory in hand the ancient mariner of memories
Readies to recapture – to transcribe - in fading ink  
A whisper of recollections – one speck in eternity – 
Illuminated by the lamp circumscribing...

Loose in the hopes of dread...
Oh, my own lover!
He was such a bold flirt;
with his love unclaimed,
he could recite George Boole

From eve's mural, she glints lusciously
waking duskfall  with bolder hues
and toasted flames kindling warm passion…

tinted oak, petals, and grass  --- her tiara

like stylus pen on punctured paper,
I move to move my Self
in silent form across the slippery

when time turns to dust and rusts

from its sacred contents I have scribed
the very foundations of the universe.

I sure do wish I could fold space,
and quickly slip from place to place
like bending pages of a map,
and thus eliminate the gap,
connect a destination’s source,
arriving right on time, of course.
But if I tried that...

While downloading some music
a thought crossed my mind,
of things that I learned in the past
when playing old music in various formats
which, sadly, were not meant to last.

the gentle hiss I hear is in my head
like record stylus placed into the groove.
Clouds form the upper circle overhead.
Orchestra tunes up in the nearby trees,
Blackbird and brace of Magpies,...

Excerpts of dark, encrypted passages
from the Book of Ghetto Proverbs


If you step to me, you’re gonna step in it
It’s best to step back ... 
let repelled pride manure gap forget
Token retrograde crab attack:
