Long Wolverines Poems

"The Call of the Grimoire" 


when Exalibur was retrieved 

from the rock, then foolishly 
and irretrievably lost 
in that dreadful battle most worthless

the imps encouraged 
the once good Poesie folk 
to jeer and throw pebbles

an early 1970s piece -


The sun was close to down as I would drive the dusty road. 
I knew that this was going to be my last delivery load.

My mind began to wander as the...

Have you heard about my renowned uncle, Gladys
Who by sexual makeup had an Aunt’s status.

Well, he or she, you can use whatever you want;

INTO THE WILD

I dreamed ......

An arboreal wandering into the wild
Creeping in narrow-leaved green herbage
Afraid to be mashed by other wolverines got riled
Their safe abode is now in the siege

The rampage and stampede make a harsh...

They wandered through town, 
tan-skinned misfits hungry to get out 
of the cold embrace of the house,
searching for sunlight in all the 
wrong places. They strolled through 
the toughened streets of East 
Dallas, with their...

Well-established wonder-stricken wayfarers will work with wizards,
who worry worm-eating warblers will wander by with Wyandottes.
Witchdoctors wallowing with Weiss beer will widen willowy wonky
widow’s walks.  Who? What? When? Why? Why not?

Wonderful wearisome woolly Willies whose...

Along with a haunting horde trick-a-treating
Dressed as ghosts, ghouls and goblins,
Dancing dwarfs and teetering giants,
Despicable despots and snarling demons, 
Pirates, warlords and mercenaries,
Blood-sucking vampires and wolverines,
Dracula, zombies and Frankenstein,
Skeletons, Spiderman and scarecrows,
Walking deads or the...

Slamming the night like 90 proof drinks,
stilettos click along broken star streets.
Spinning like wolverines in a badass heat
swallow the strobe lights-puke up the beat.

Time cracks when black knights blitz
when cherries are on fire, 
and nobody...

Looking back, I don't feel so bad
there wasn't much I could do.
Even all the superheros 
couldn't save me from you.

Captain America's shield
couldn't have stopped the pain.
All my efforts to understand you
were all in vain.

Not even...

Winter landscape 

 The landscape was white like frozen waves
 smoke from farm chimneys went straight only dispersed
when meeting the upper sky.
Ah, this innocence of virginal snow cold as nun`s cell.
The boy sat in the...

She is an alien.  She comes from the sky.  She is a shapeshifter.  She is a transformer.  She is a changeling.  She can shape mice into wolverines.  She can...

the fans all get excited and blow off steam-
University of Michigan rocks college football, 
as the Wolverines prevail and Ohio State falls.

The little wolverines are swiftly prowling by 
the moon arrives to peer then nigh n' nigh  

it gives away to sound, hooves and mental  folly 
as canis greys howl deep by bullet, rifle,...

I
Some words remain prophetic through time
Giving and yielding fruit
Like Jeremiah (29:11); Ezekiel on my heart
Of wickedness that will shock even me
Unless someone  heals My heart of stone
Isaiah knew too I am fearfully, wonderfully made

there's a bloke in this cafe wearing a cape
a macabre, satiny number

who does he think he is?
no one brings it up?

this clobber
this kind of attire

who wears 'em?
the neanderthals?

wolverines with thick fur
sewing tools around the campfire

I cannot vacation in Siberia she said.
There are wolverines there.
I would be promptly dead.

She knew they were fierce.
With huge claws and a crushing jaw.
She had heard the nightmarish stories from her own pa.

They would rip...
