Long Talc Poems

Way back when,
Living with my father Harry,
One Halloween I had an idea spark,
Seemed to me it'd be a lark....

Thus the tale of When Harry's House Held
The Horrific Holloween Hex..from Hell

Early 70's, my favorite time did...

The mountains of brown covered with green carpet of trees,
When they nod their heads I feel  cool winds and breeze,
Every time I ask them to come down, they say no,
All at the same time...

from your first born, when you grab a dusting of talc, crushed with late night feeds, stirring in bouncing and stories on a knee,

adding a layer of stumbled steps, with a batter thickly made of...

The glimpse of something recognizable; meant seeing her, only see would be with him, and us together had been strained to exhaustion. But maybe the magic of night might give way to forgiveness and love....

‘WHITE ETERNAL LIGHT’

Talc powder feathered wings, gracefully a white dove brings 
 Spiritual promises of pacifist mediation, connecting our soul – timeless hope, appreciation
Light of the world, luminosity glow— Heavens majestic rainbow
Chosen by Him in...

Light has left stains along the walls like shadows of exploded memory;
After images behind objects that glow with an aura of effervescence,
cramped and unchanged and rotting away in the corners.
A mind held captive-
A nostalgia that...

Clumsy feet transporting a barren shell,
She cannot lift her mournful eyes, she fears
her anguish will project, and she'll crack.
Barely visible behind her veil of grief
her lips twitch soundlessly, a private prayer
for serenity, or sanity? 
For...

Out of the bath, in the mirror, check me
picture of spindly masculinity
talc on the feet, and armpits sprayed
now for the body a choice to be made
Hai Karate or Aramis
both leave the women in a state...

We half-hearts cling as scaffold
Mouths of cellophane statements
Morphia inducing as our eyes talc-storm over
Seeing nothing in everything
Like a tank we collide, by the
Edges of a summer vortex pushing as bulimia

It is only the intoxication of...

Yes
Wide eyed
And Oh
So small
Little man
He fits
In both my hands
I still know
How to hold
The little one
"Does it bring back memories"
Her question
Stayed with me
For days
Than weeks
Flowing along
Past
Distant times
In that
Expanse
Of memories
Times four
I explored
Cuddles
Hugs
The first
Fresh
As a field 
Of shinning...

Handpicked, like coffee seeds or strawberries, ten eggs I kept
Like a tensed insomniac, for a long time I'd not slept
I found a change in the bloom of the dermis as days passed
There came out surprise-filled...

Jump into pistachio talc
and fly on mists a'sparkle
Dripping off me is butterfly dust
Stand up and you can follow
Dive off the chair you sit in
to streams filled thick with cider
Nap on webs of candied cotton
strung strong...

Hams of August Smother


The folks are angry, really. 
They can’t explain the diaper, 
yet they would explain poor Jack.
It’s a plot, you see, to show
poor Jack’s been had.

Folks can’t see why
no matter what Jack does,

In snowflakes’ sunlit souls - an amber chest,
orange, yellow, blushing red impassion
resplendent ember hues of stained-glass zest,
vivid vibes enliven snow from ashen.

Inspired bliss of shining kiss on pale snow,
with delicate caresses Sol imbued
highlights to saturate...

What is a moth?
I only know flitting shadows
Magnified upon my wall.

In closets and in chests of drawers, 
Despite balls that smell of hospitals,
Holes in clothes where they once were.

They dance around my lantern
Made by Coleman,...

endless sky brushes crimson strokes
upon a cloudless Summer void
sea soft to pastel blue benign
robs shore of its sparkling treasure 
trees drip opaque tears 'pon sharp blades
of velvet grass stood to attention

I bought Talc de Venise today.*
Do you marvel at the name?
It conjures white rain on canals.
Imagine going on a Venetian bridge,
and white rain falling.

This is not snow...
No this is real rain tempered
or tampered with real...

Scorching heat, undrying sweat

Soothing talc, utmost a better bet.

Ubiquitous sun rays, ushering heat waves

Umbrellas of all types & ultra-sunglasses saves.

Most tiring, more thirst

Munch mangoes & mouthful of melons.

Midday radiation, mounting towers

Mild relief with a/c &...
