Personal vicissitudes pronounced irrepressible self loathing

Ever since mine late boyhood
when unstoppable coded 
cellular processes did segue
I experienced abhorrence
toward yours truly,
an extremely introverted kid,
whose parents nor siblings
(one younger and older sister) could
not arouse him

Silence

I’ve dreamt often that she crept deep
Into my cellular structure, 
Some time in the nightfall of my being
And planted deeply into my mitochondrion,
A magical silence pill,
Drowning the kittens of...

One generic baby boomer, (a garden variety sexagenarian)...

During tectonic plate movement: 1
The Indian Island Ma moved northward
Crashing into the Eurasian continent,
To form the Himalayan mountains. 2

Out of the chaos, towering peaks arose,
Piercing heavenly soft, white cotton clouds,
Bursting...

The Dance of Celestial Bodies
When planets say "no" to collision,
Their orbits maintain ancient paths,
Gravity's eloquent boundary
Each celestial body knowing its space,
Dancing eternally apart yet together.
Like us, they understand: proximity without merger,
Connection without consumption.

As Medusa walks in, shuts the door,
caresses precision hand down the mahogany-
and shows one what for.

Senses in starbursts-cloudburst

The leaves had already turned,
Turned that is, into the colors,
Already there beforehand.

Of nipple spring,

The muscular lust of summer grazing,
When Burgundy picnics,
Turn white, thick...
