Long Tadpoles Poems

"Salvage"


Salvage the fixating salvation 
unfurling from the wreckage
of a numb world twisted inside
treasure climbs swimming 
the ladder from the deep of all things 
reaching upwards travelling in a new time
of melting morpheme moments overlapping 
dissolved...

RED SEA

At the mouth I lay splayed
blood trickling, slowly dripping into soft mud or red Akashic ink
             mud of my anus, ink of...

Road Trip

The country, people, and the village,
All equal, as if, for the first time, 
All of that gave a fresher image,
Nay, 'tis but a relative vantage.
Save fresh road, to its left bears a sign.

Everything is just like yesterday
Same boat, same coat, same joke
The river is receding and deeds are reveling
This morning I got up with an uncomfortable feeling
I was longing for something that was not there
And it leaves...

School holidays were testing times for Mum’s with things we done,
when us kids had idle time to chase the values of new fun.

"Psychobabble"
 


She plants the seeds
in Her mind 
through the 
fathomless
oceanful wells
of Her eyes
saltwater falls
over the unchartered
sharp edges of 
Her tight boundaries
to the playing fields
Elysian
where She waits

in all Her glowing 
warm-skinned dreams
black words turn

Line of inquiry from Unseeking Seeker:

we learn directly by soft touch
and what we garner we relay
to the vast void in childlike play
entwined thus with the universe
we dance without need to rehearse"

life is a messy slurry 
Tyson fury
an Olga tumble

I used to catch 
tadpoles at the pond

When I was still 
very young

Because that was
just my way 
of having fun
in the summer...

The village road

The milky road stretches a mile
Fresh tea for ducks and fishes is ready
Rolling wheels are the new hull.
Frogs with umbrellas and tadpoles in armour,
They risk for adventure.
Snails and crickets singing as they march,
Fireflies...

Apple blossoms flutter in the breeze.  Awakening,
Barefoot to the brook we go, brightly scampering,
Counting caterpillars discovered on our way -
Daffodil and daisy picking this delightful day.

Enjoying the earth’s rebirth, revitalized are we!
Free, like foals...
