Long Visors Poems

As I empty a bag and look over the donations in it
I think, “Geezus why; not even I would willingly take any of this!
If I didn’t work here taking donations, I’d throw it all in...

And yet the Sun did rise again to warm a broken scene
It peered through ruined window frames where coloured glass had been
Inside, beneath a vanquished roof, before an alter, smashed
She waits in grubby gown and...

Oceans and Winds

I have an obsequious unnatural inclination
To sustain my external compulsions 
And convert them to a pre-text of a sub-text
Of instantaneous conclusions
Bi-Partisan confusions, melted humans and rheuminations
We seem to be caught up in the...

I danced with the hoodlum priestess, in the temple of the sacred pool.
The candles burned down low and jasmine incense from censors, filled the night.
While attendents at the altars, worried prayer beads and chanted sacred...

The queue was long, fifty or so,
Spacesuits donned, ready to go.
With wife and son, of ten years old
We await our journey to unfold.

Earths orbit was good, the moon even better,
But Mars signifies the true jet...

Dying in his arms
I remember everything
How he made me safe
As we searched among the stars
Far away from planet earth.

Distanced by visors
Each breath a deadly struggle
An indigo sky’s 
Three moons look down upon us
My life force...

I became impatient with myself
standing on the precipice of twilight

I know the things the dark visors
and I wish to dominate all sinfully
delicious places within it

I want to be the one to hand feed
dominance and not...

Fly us to the moon where we never have to breathe 
The chaff and flare of petrol in an urban ghetto seethe;

GONE VIRAL (For Corona virus/ Covid 19 contest)


Don’t splutter, don’t wheeze
Don’t cough and don’t sneeze
Or they’ll lock you up
And they’ll mislay the keys

Don’t tell them you’re hot
Just say that you’re not
And don’t touch your face
Or...

We mostly stick with basics
When we make a major buy,
So recommended bells and whistles
Seem to pass us by.

Yet today we took possession
Of our brand-new Subaru
And to get new safety features,
We were forced to upgrade, too.

Faultfinding words—the sticks; reproachful glances—the stones,
each one flung through visors of human blinders.
Every emotional prick they create shatters the bones
as one more revolution of the breaking wheel is entire.

Seeing all and sundry as a personal...

Dead groves of buried flowers,
for the modern to be and to appear ...

At Wimbledon, you must wear white
To play upon the courts
And that includes your sneakers, visors,
T-shirts, socks and shorts.

The colour police do not allow
Off-white, ecru or cream
And sneaker soles and laces
Should be white enough to gleam.

Dust, astronauts found,
as fine as flour and 
rough as sandpaper:
meterorites crash -
and smash local rocks,

grey dust is formed -
abrasive dust;
it wears through boots,
clings to helmets,

magnetic,
static cling,
and toxic ,


plenty
of it

moon
dust

sneezing,

gums up joints
in space suits -
