The Cold Doorknobs 

I.
I am sure there will be that profound moment in time
when the dog out back will stop its incessant yapping,
Its unrelenting impulse to belch out its interminable wails, 
alas, to inform its...

For years, Tim had the visions
Seeing things that no one could
If he spoke of them, he's crazy
He kept quiet, like he should
Just normal, little, visions
Of people who were dead 
Just wandering in places
He knew weren't...

THE LAST STAND

Where have all my people gone, the Navaho, Lakota, and the Sue,
Smothered beneath the white man's blanket,
Chocking for a breath of airs life's sustaining oxygen.
The beating heart of native drums, are stilled frozen,
In...

A Sky of Water
Arabic Poem By: Falah Al-Shabender*
Traslate By
 Inaam Al-Hashimi (Gold_N_Silk)
====================

A sky of water
Doesn't blaze in a glance;
It follows us, as we head towards it, 
Fraying its essence, 
And transcending in its mysteries;
Emptiness .....

You stank, and  poo was once revealed when pants were pulled in playing field. Hard round briquettes, quite dry, like dung with straw sun-hard and undigested. 

All kinds of unkind taunts and silly songs...

If tears don't run salty into the bowl of lentils of life, you don't know the seasoning of pain,
It's just a breeze, a transient wind over your infinite fields of indifference.
When you weep, tasting of...

my carnivore self is displayed out in the open
I tear a bovine’s tendons and muscle with gusto
my teeth coming up red and bloody;
it is the human way, is it not?

my mouth, throat and gullet gulp...

Why is it that I truly feel 
if you step inside my messy house
you see inside my messy soul?
Clothes strewn about
translate into my issues on never being warm enough
no, cold enough - or, I mean,...

A few nights before Christmas
all was quiet in the apartment
except for a few ghosts milling about in it

Before I went to bed 
to rest my head
I thought of the words of a friend
who once said...

It's in a turtle soup shop where I'm employed
It's my duty to cook vomit-inducing soup turtle
which no decent human palate could stand;
a horrid job and a salary which is even worse,
an insult to my brilliant...

>A mind game
Played on someone over time can maim
Crippling their sense of truth
For unlike the follies of youth
Thought
Is something that is not taught?
Indeed, much learning is encouraged by rote repetition
Yet for the most part the...

The cold hit me, it froze my soul 
The last gasp of air knocked from my body 
Down, down, down in some deep dark wet hole 
I was lost I was gone, there would be...

Gorging with impunity to fill an empty void
of hollow needs and guilty deeds that fester
unceasing, into fissures of a vacuous soul
searching, without finding a way to make it whole

Purging with obsession to cleanse a tarnished...

The nearer  peace,more savage are the acts
Abhorrent to the atheist in us all.
History, undigested ,splits and cracks

As we whites  did evil to the black
With little difference, hate  for glory calls.
The nearer ...

What I see is a stage full of fools
What I hear is a script filled with neglected words
what lies beyond those words is a mystery to me
what is going on isn't going away very soon...

When wildfires flare beyond tame,
hot ash burns and sting the eye.
And a scorching tongue of flame
laps smoke from a blackened sky.

Being both judge and jury
fuels fire's desire to feed.
And to avoid its fury
frightened animals stampede.

Plumes...

Oh my tummy aches
something I ate I think?
like a cow?
“Geeezzzz, the pay backs a female dog.”
Been trying not to eat fellow mammals.
Been rewarded with a sweet tum tum.
But, my man’s a meat eater …growl
and I...

The Notebook
Written: by Tom Wright
7-8-2016

Life is a notebook aged and wrinkled by time,
Margins are littered with names and number.
Of those sharing, who’ve made my life sublime,
Some long whispered into in depth slumber.

Pages containing thoughts, some...

Have thine secrets kept me still...
How could you be reprehended?
Coward full of undigested stories,
that were lost to my hopes that I thrown away at you.
May you not change your way for the better 'morrow?
May you...

I see, looking through a novel read long ago
that most of the story I had overlooked
or misunderstood.

Strings of decades are often a compendium
a journey disjointed by sinkholes and rockfalls;
a digest often left undigested.

If I perused...

Buzzards are circling, hawks are screaming,
in the backyard crows are tearing into a dead pigeon.
Songbirds are not singing
but watch silently from the hedgerow.
This is a day for the predator's,
a black cat slinks through the trees

A famous cowboy actor died 
 thirty pounds of undigested meat 
greeted the coroners
from the bowel of his belly 

They probably did not mean for this to get out
but it did  unfortunately 
because it...
