Grit and Guts On the Gridiron - 1
Mud and leather
dirt and nerve
bloodied laughter
collision to serve,
distance, drive and demolition
battle axe ambition in the wild air
muscle and mind joined in steeled instinct,
a stitched pigskin ball, the grail of the Fall
to fumble it means...

Hanging On To Trauma
There is this hypothesis
I unjustly
and perhaps traumatically
just made hard and patriarchally up

and retentatively not out
soon enough for healthy comings
and goings
A ridiculous theory
that straight homophobic preachers
and teachers,
prophets
and kings,
pharaohs
and rabbis,
old crows
and magpies
Throughout too...

Go cast a spell of fistful rice, outcasted!
Go cast a spell of fistful rice, outcasted!
Hunger and me, a writhing unruly,
a belly, a body
Feels the gluttony, every time, an omnivorous hungry
Like a scarcity of rain turns slowly a character poem
Into an inferno,

Requires courage, conviction, confidence to be out there upfront emboldened.

The Son of Tyrants, Part Ii
Reporters swarmed, the rabid jackals,
around my house they made a big crowd,
even harassed my poor old mother
to the point she could barely go out.
I growled loud at more than a few,
got one locked up for...

Abandoned
I watched a prompting feature by a dynamic actor,
his life seemed vivacious with an ardent factor;
today I heard he'd hanged himself to an annulled death,
deserted fears overpowered zeal in his last breath.

Demons
With darkness scintillating in my soul,
And the seven of wands in my hold,
I take up the challenge upfront,
Paper planes ready to fold.
The sea washed away my sandcastles,

Modern Churches
I was walking down the sidewalk
of a big-box shopping center,

barely even noticed the thing.

'Cavalry's Victory Church.'
