Long Viaduct Poems

Reducing sauces is a clever act that is not predetermined

Swimming in tepid waters often relieves tensions but a moose with a migraine prefers an ice cold bath. Bathing rituals signify statuses and this is referred...

Far from having a nascent thought that envelops my rabid self,
Like inside of an accurate Swiss watch that had been given -
A present to presidents and diplomats from the 70’s era,
Memories in the kaleidoscope of...

In the back of my head, in the garden shed,
I see him as clearly as fresh white paint:
A little boy sat on the creosote floor, 
Dragged grazed knees hugged up to his chin, 
So familiar,...

Beneath the River Somnium,
Abandoned Wishes hymn: quiet in the viaduct:

Reverse the Lodestone;
Reverse the First Sin;
Reverse the Autumn Hearse;
Reverse the Universe.

We are the murk men, intangible ends—inebriated together
With Beelzebub our friend. Absolvent now in burning skin,...

...I was working construction jobs,
there was a big job for the trains,
to replace an old viaduct
that shook in the wind and the rain.
The government gave money and
put strings on it, that’s what they do,
wanted to...

The Missing Season
27/07/2020 

Whiffs of summery air grow startlingly unfresh
Dying like a withering dream yet almost deathless
Ruffled by an impasse of a senescent, uncrossable viaduct 
that goes beyond my knowingness, beyond my conception
Of an unknown...

Today, I had a morning started quite roughly.
I almost missed the bus,
Then actually missed the stop at the train station, 
That costed me one hour moving and waiting around.
Finally, I reached my destination.
I climbed up...

I’ve wrestled with devil in blue grass.
That college that picks pockets 
and helps itself to damsels’ purses
fixed nooses just off seventy-five south, 
over Clay-way Bailey.

The viaduct that divides two states 
divides thieves from Potter Stewart’s...

Anybody on this road we're on
Ain't nobody wants to be alone
Everybody's trying to make it home
To somebody
Sunflower, we're not in Kansas now
It's a new life down in Alabama
God gave us a little white house

Baby be...

The hearts that do not beat
Quiet in the viaduct;
        A steeled echo husked
Alchemic clones vastly entreat.

I slipped you a talking pill
As the loam, pulsing dust of cars
Filled up...

In my many poems
Of a country so rare
Spare me a few minutes
As i take you there

We are Alba
The land of the Scots
Once we meet
We are forget me not

A nation so free
In this world we reside
Bravehearts
Oozing...

A bridge from colloquial to courtly 
fare
A span where idealism and fantasy 
pair
A railway to the existential realm; 
celestial lair 
A conduit through which rational 
discourse can flare

Deep medium to: forage, inculcate, 
and inform
Broad brush...

In the midst of a wet night,
Discovered myself upon a viaduct.
Straggled or vagrant, uncertain.
Not petrified by the dark, rumbling sky,
Amazed to find the place familiar.

I perceived the faintest advancing steps,
On turning back, delighted with her...

Limestone’s steady stream still pours
from the small cave’s mouth
half-way up the hill,
keeping the small pond full.

The dam of chiseled boulders
guides water’s flow into the viaduct,
standing on ever higher pillars,
toward valley’s mighty wheel.

Water’s power turns large...

Salt City Syracuse, You dwell in Mid State,
You are used for testing new products,
Rebuild, rebuild where you are,
15th Ward East, Southside of town,
81 came it decimated you,
Know home you know more,
81, Upstate Med is now,
What...

Met the squint-eyed oracle
Puttin' down the trowel
To the new Delphi
'Cause his tongue got stuck
On circumstance

Claimed was struck
Epileptic-ally divine
On a highway back in Illinois
And just grazed the viaduct

If only a priestess with shorthand
Would live in a...

EXCEPTIONALLY EXEMPT

Her words were worthless
Her promises preempted
Her vows were not vehement
Until from her life I was exempted

I buried my soul within her hardened heart
I dug a grave for a most grave situation
She took my picture...

A VIOLENT VIADUCT

I search for the viaduct of my soul
woe the womb
a method of madness someone's goal
there you are
standing in silence
telling me to ignore the violence
blood, slime, and a gift representative of the brightness from...

Beneath my bridge the troubled waters surged
with white caps brazen under dark gray skies
and baptized in the waters I was purged
as “scales of blindness” dropped from off my eyes.

Below me rushed the waters turbulent,
turgid and...

I built a large arch of roses
So I could walk to you.
Scarlet visions in mass doses
Numbed my thorn - torn shoes. 

The floral scent dripped firmament, 
And lovers dreams of you;
But once I went to...

within a pock, a lonely copse
a one-time proudly standing duke
lay collapsed a pearly corpse 
strewn, now stretched across a dyke
no mortar, stone or brick to budge
a single chain links an area  
no sleeves rolled...
