Long Thinnest Poems

Feminist ecotherapists,
deeply immersed in polycultural ecology,
a systematic teleology of cooperative nutrition economics,
remain rarely flushed out from their safe spots.

A self-isolating,
often eremitic,
subspecies,
with shamanic nature-as-spirit tendencies,
our most articulate mentors often wander off
to pray for,
breathe and suffer and...

Odyssey from Africa, Chapter 12 (d) The fireflower (cont.)

Dominated by one hilltop 
Round in form, it’s summit hidden
In the whiteness of a cloud base
There they saw their destination 

Now they climbed by steepening gradient
Through a...

Cinderella

He takes my hand pleasantly in his and says meeting me is his pleasure. 

My joy escapes its hiding place in no uncertain measure.

This is when life begins to demonstrate just one true treasure.

Life, 
Filled with complexities & complications 
Wider than the broadest imagination 
Narrower than the thinnest reality 
Sweet-sour 
Beautiful-"ugly" 
Tall-short 
Poor-rich 
Slim-fat 
Bitter-sweet........................ 
The unimaginable, unpredictable & unexpected are all in it 

Sometimes imagined & taught...

When you find your early your already much to late all this time now you over compensate
A rush towards the front so we can crawl to the back always flinching from the timely attack

TRAUMA BAY

Of true evil, I’d had barely a peek
But this day would be an education
A full immersion in the fetid reek
The foul depths of his soul’s violation.
Indescribable draining sensation,
It leveled its shoulder, knocked out my...

Oh mothers of the world stand before your mirrors of
Self-reflections, now gather all kindred near, now just 
For one moment imagine them disappearing, vaporizing into
The thinnest of air?
This realization is the future fate of the...

Long thin finger reaches out
	clicking the switch to lightning's flow
Quantum jumps but observed not
	electrons fly setting photons free

thinnest glass contain's the flow
	phosphorus excited brightly glows
piercing brightly with cold beams
	illuminating that which cannot be seen

sterile white...

Dancing Numbers

Numbers dance in space upon the wall of distant nebulae
Lower digits do the limbo under digit trees on Earth
Produce a number of rumbas in the process
Baby ones and twos run through the branches to...

Have you ever had a massage of any kind?
During the process,did you,your teeth, grind?
I always thought you get this tender,sweet, relaxing feeling;
Until I became a massage client who left squealing.
What was going on inside my...

I 
hate 
the 
oppression 
you 
so 
heavily 
bear 
upon 
my 
mind. 
Made 
carry 
heavy 
loads 
like 
a 
donkey, 
messed 
up 
my 
views 
like 
the 
sight 
of 
the 
blind. 
I 
know 
no 
more 
what 
I 
knew...

Three pairs of old legs
and three strong sticks,
everyday have a stroll,
in every dynamic evening,
when the sun is brick red,
and the chirping birds returning home.

They don’t know what gifts the morning sun,
has for them, on the...

Might i say,
that you light up my life 
each and every day. 

You take mere living, 
mere getting by, 
to the mountain, 
to the other side. 

You see that I see inside of you, 
a...

The Power of One

Slowly shadows devour the day’s light,
The silhouette of fear draws breath 
From the soul left gasping,
A firestorm of fury gathering,
Like mists of plagues escaping
From an ancient land of sand and tombs
With locusts...

Our enemies are hidden because we cannot see,
for they are camouflaged in the sea of our deepest fears.
They are not obvious through our blurred vision,
even though hidden behind the thinnest of veils.
They are transparent to...

Our enemies are hidden because we cannot see
they are cloaked in the sea of our deepest fears.
They are not obvious to our blurred vision
though hidden behind the thinnest of veils.

They are the most 
Smoothly ungracious
Thief of time
Those gray walls
That steal the
Only thing that
I have left

How long to go 
To hold on the longing
And how many times
Can the song bird
In my chest
Forget to sing
And still...

I recall it vividly,
Like it were yesterday,
I remember well when depression almost took my life,
I recall how I became thin,thinner and thinnest,
I can tell how my close associates raised an alarm health wise,
Mine was a...

Her eyes look wide and clear around
Cast there are shadows of the fog igniting night
As she sees an image on a wet neglected window pane
It holds her in contempt
Cold, damp, with sweat, shivering in fright
And...

What a strange word is mnemonic
far easier to say than to write or spell!
It sound like a disease or nonsense incensed to mislead
But after you get over that it makes sense

Trey. 
I felt safe and protected when you 
were around. Now I sit and wonder 
pointless thoughts. Forever in repeat. 
Counting down the hours until again 
we'd meet. I tried to see you sooner

LIFE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the love of my life, life,
its depth, its range, how rife.
from high up in the air,
to here and there, to where

life finds a niche, takes hold!
from small, to big and bold!
long to tall, thin like...
