Can We Feel Music
Can We “Feel” Music?
By Carol Geyer
Can we “feel” music? Can the notes cool or warm us?
Soothing like green aloe balm, or warm as flaming Yule logs,
or as majestic as a fully leafed oak?

A Broken Dream
There’s a lake called the lake of Illusions,
And there’s a house right by its side.
It’s a house where I’m hiding,running away from memories.
It’s where I’m destined to be forever.
The rules don’t apply here, no.
The storm...

Mishandled Mahogany
Stop
Shedding and sowing
Begin bracing for burning
In land of melting
Pots
Was
The crews parallax
Of the trees
Which conceives
The lumberjack to
Saw?
Timber!
Reviled
But adored due to bark,
Chopped down and chastised a log mark
Famine yet fervid mouth of hell,
“Rollways”, or “skidways”, dread logs...

Memory Labors On
She will take a bus today; it will be an old bus on a long
taken journey. The factory is a derelict shell. She cannot smell
the dereliction, she smells the walls and the ranks...

Miss Ava
Oh dear Miss Ava,
Miss Aging Vanity
Your faded universal beauty
is visually pleasing no more —
especially to your own self
You hate looking at that aging body
The sagging truth stares you in the mirror each day:

In My Living Room
There, There! Good Children!
I say to the furniture gracing my space,
semi-circling the weary gray eye
of the television, as if it were the center
of the world. It's tired, but YOU are
to rest...

The Bedbugs Come To Call
The Bedbugs Come to Call
By Elton Camp
All my life I’ve heard of this pest
In filthy houses they come to nest
Bed bugs you will never detect
Where people have self-respect
It seems now, that’s no longer true
Several things...

Old and New 1: Circus
OLD AND NEW 1 : CIRCUS
Giraffe on anxious heels
bought in Sandton, toddle
along with intense haste
a dream point unheard
lipstick smudges, mascara
leaks of AK47 dust she rifled
Bullfrog madly croaks
vying for a place in a...

Sex and Drugs
Upholstered flesh is wetted with a single stroke
Thumbs clasp and rotate
Ribs click with an enhanced inhalation
Consequences of a little death
Tissues consume bloat
Drain and wither
Free radicals creep into closed eyes
Flecks are swept like stars of dust
Behind...

Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uqZhnqHMAg
The orchestra strains to be symphonic --- a bee in a tin box.
Cigar smoke thunders, molecules of sound wilt
only to be dialed up through brass lungs.
The combo is quaintly upholstered, a classic sports car
driven by...

Younger Rooms
The house I wrote this poem in
became an apartment for the ocean,
then a zoo for the innocently maladjusted,
then a garden for dreaming cats,
then floor-space - just floor space
to walk back and forth on. ...

Daydreaming
Big red buckets and yellow elephants
Standing on mice wearing pink flared pants
Oil filled puddles of many rainbow hews
And crocodile upholstered chapel pews
Armies of platform shoe wearing dogs
Wearing wigs made from living frogs
Thick carpets made of...

I like to read and think about
Tyrannosaurus rex,
and gigantic brontosaurus,
with his long and slender neck.

Cloverleaf Drive
He was
crying
and wouldn’t take dinner,
so,
huddled off and
to the side,
the three of us we stop
and watch kids
two-hand pitching
over gravel,
then walk on.
This old block -
the architecture
is not the same…
- was this it?
where we fumbled
in her...

Toad
Whither now hunker-shins?
You have a sweet countenance,
a squat grace,
always middle-aged
on the still edge of a speeding sun.
Another swift day has begun
yet here you sit among the traffic
unflinching, a bold
bladder quelling gravity
with low-sprung shanks.
You deep-seated...

Her Last Chair
A breathing weight pushes flesh
into fabric and wood.
A cellular heat melds, sinks inward.
Fibrous miasmas knit cloth and foam
to a ligamentous persona.
Nightly, less of her
is peeled away to be packed
between sheets.
Her last chair takes upon it

Sexy - Or Whatever Turns You On
His:- "I like a little lady who
is round enough to squeeze;
who has a soft capacity,
alluringly, to please.
And coming with a lustrous smile,
a tempting cunning wheeze,
she has this hint of wickedness.

The Message- Come
The train was like a long caravan chug, chugging along,
and my destination was far, and in a place quite remote;
I was tired and weary but I knew I had to be strong.
