Long Unconsidered Poems

“The External World of the Internal”

when the Internal 
finally woke up,

it was like all the words 
in that book, flew at It 
like flaming arrows, 
an external barage, a tale, 
of trading 10 for 50,
a...

ThanksGiving advances

Arising thoughts about boundary breaching risks
and perennial partisan issues
and deep listening opportunities.

Perhaps only the Othering
and Othered One Percent
instilling in their children
and future grandchildren
that extended family meals
are never an appropriate time
or sacred space
to speak of...

Through pristine glass observed
autumnal leaves a scatter
the litter of the season
to dishevel and clutter up the garden

Sweep the crumbs away
lay polish to the smudged and smear
for glinting tiles speak ever more clear
to build the walls...

Who is like the Sun
who comes riding his white steed
the leader of the holy ones
and of his people Abram's seed
 
I will hold you because it is what you need
I will listen above all others...

For what manner of beast,
sad creature,
mad monster,
deeply dark angel east,
does everyday accompaniment
seed cold contempt
instead of breeding warm sacred resonance?

Should beloveds
not expect to grow in sublime stature
not despite, but for humored respite, flirtatious flaws,
fallen fractured nature,...

My demeanor, the aftermaths of recklessness 
A child once, a man to soon
The glory to my name gone, the grace faded
Change do I offer no opposition to 
Derogatory remarks, have I afforded restraint  ...

Mountains,
Majestic
Mammoth
Marvelous
Mesmerizing
Mountains
Looking at them from afar
I do feel like they are giants among us
Silent giants
Sleeping giants
Sleeping, lying in wait
Eveready
To fight for us, to protect us
Us, little dwarfs, humans
Mountains
Looking at them from a close up view
I wish,...

quick! grab the soft rose
your hand now aching, bloodied
thorns unconsidered

life's dream isn't always what it suddenly seems in ice cream's melted hope
not when a yearning man is twisted; turning, churning curdles sweet milk sour
carnal captivity,...

A young man came from Sandy Hook
To play his fiddle for our sheer pleasure
Scottish reels and an occasional Irish folk song
From memory, for little he gladly entertained
Though enormously talented, he suffered
From a debilitating disease of...

the inhibitions fade
a slow, deliberate ritual
some beautiful
mostly terrifying

the glass, a chalice
cradles the forbidden
each drop, a fiery kiss
flowing when the world tilts

diving into the velvet nectar
foreknown implosion 
indulgence ignites 

amber tides cascade
over softened edges
an eager palate...

You told me
when I nearly died
how weird it felt
to feed me
how agape I waited
mouth open wide
for the next spoonful
like I did as a baby

Hungry little bird

You told me
when you were dying
you didn't see me till
days...

 I am so sorry I tend to whisper to my self while the wings on my back enfold me in my idiocy and bust in a furl of feathers and fire.
 
My authentic halo...

Loves and lovers are parts in a play 
	acted from need or passion, 
	necessity or happenstance or duty 
	or merely not to be lonely for a while. 
	Loved in considered or unconsidered ways, 
	given or...

FATHER



Misleading intentional deception,
loathing the complexity of risk and uncertainty.

Thoughts of contingent outcomes, minimizing losses,
analytical human behaviour.

The Army Ruler demands respect, obedience,
forgets the hurtful unconsidered words.

Tradition, history, status, all weigh heavily,
turdus merula cries in the storm.

Obstructively...

Do you believe me?
My love and hate,
Always is motivated
To confirm my belief.

Considered on unconsidered,
Activation of development,
Consistence of growth,
Remarks of my confirmation.

If you don’t understand me,
You will understand me. One day,
If you understand me
That’s my belief.

You...

The day has many hours to fill
And most are unconsidered,
So often, we’re surprised by
All the time that we have frittered.

Yet sometimes, there’s a giant gap,
With minutes that are waiting
To see what we’ll resort to,
What ideas...
