When the heart stop
The mind still struggles
Clinging to the final spark of life
For seven precious minutes
In that span, the boundaries of time is blurred
The parietal and hippocampus in finality remember
The intermittent ticking of the internal clock
Intertwined in one last desperate waltz.

Anatomy of human structure
Poetry of nerves and impulses enrapture
Temple of parietal bone that beats
Carpal bone pleats
Integumentary system perspires
Nervous system inspires
Circulatory system pumps
Digestive system lumps
All other systems function
When poetry is not in sanction

riding rivulets down
insane power of drain
mist erupts, exclamation crashes
the edge of humanity
at the rainbow’s end
the beauty screams:
c’mon in
pins and needles
from the parietal lobe
to the sole
the droplets
run and dive
right in, exploding in laughter
and delight
man is afraid
rightfully so
afraid to decompose
composure
is at wit’s end
we slip, we slide
in our mind
feel the sinking sand
on the brink
of a dream; a nightmare
fully awake
its wake divides the truth from lies
do we exist
take a kiss from the cliff
the teacher’s ruler:
Go on now…
What student doesn’t know better
unless you see other fish
flying overboard
peer pressure stops at heightened levels
except on slow boil
then
the facts become even more exact
as you meet
the boil Maker

Joey Contemplating a Skeleton
By Elton Camp
The teacher told Joey to learn each bone by name
And that there were only about 206 of the same
The parietal, temporal and occipital are in the head
At least that’s what the biology teacher then said
The atlas and axis are two bones found in the neck
Twelve vertebrae are attached to ribs if you check
Lumbar, sacrum and their parts learn without fail
And don’t forget the coccyx that looks like a tail
Of the maxillae and mandible the jaws are made
Collar bone is the clavicle; scapula shoulder blade
Humerus in upper arm, ulna below, radius thumb side
And in wrist and hand carpals & metacarpals reside
Phalanges are found in both the fingers and the toes
The femur, patella, tibia and fibula in the leg goes
But this is only a small sample of what Joey must learn
If an excellent grade in his biology class he will earn

Entering the cave of a wide open mouth
Pulling on the slippery uvula
Reaching for the nasal cavity
Taking a breath before leaping for the eye socket
Where I view the world that plows the field of future
Then taking dirt road veins to a house on 123 east Sycamore
Where Under the bed in my room is a cranial box of treasure
Opening the box exposes the parietal cortex
A single mother loving four children
A family of five on welfare
A mother in and out of the hospital
A ten year old boy visits mom on Sunday
A confused orphan on Monday
A mother enters holy sleep at thirty-five years of age
I love you mom
My son KJ often asks of you
As I close this box and return to the dirt road of veins, now paved
My moist cave will echo, only the love of a mother
=======================================
I miss my mother on special occasions in my life, and often wonder what things would be
like if she still lived? However I have been blessed to have known her and I live a
prosperous life for which I'm thankful for.....

That which beats is a lie
All that flows through is blood
My foreign wounds are denied
The hollow chamber a flood
Both fill me with sustenance
But emptying just the same
This tiny organ beckons
What in time would happen
Eventually would claim me
And call me to a higher place
And i feel this mental apathetic arrogance
As the walls close in
I begin to deny
That this body is drowned
And what is there is alive
I should have died then
I should have died then
Cover me
Envelope me in this
Cavity
Hollowing
Let nothing
Pierce through and
Empty
