Seconding Poems | Examples


Living waters, holy fire

burn me down
like Babylon 
consume my flesh with fire
unquenchable
Desire

Raze me to the ground
scatter every brick
To the four winds
bury me
like Osiris 
divided
divine sectioning
seconding
Sacralizing

phallicizing 
Pour your living waters
down my throat 
into my belly
and up from beneath 

holify me
gushing, rushing 
Living Water
sacral phallic water

energize me
Wholify me
receive me
willingly, this sacrifice
please me
please me
pacify me

resurrect me
Holify me
living waters never quench
Holy fire
Lavafy me
Molten living metals
running through every channel 
veins, arteries, capillaries, nadis 

Open me
i, the channel, emptied
eradicate me
Split me up the middle
reverse my topology
Outside like the Inside
precisely as the Inside 

I receive you
Open me, Penetrate me
lava flowing up Inside me

like the infinite Outside
show me
the unbounded Abyss within 
mirror still
Lake Placid
reflecting
Perfectly 
not a ripple
but still vibrating 
Energy
forever on fire
Lake Salome
the gushing wet birth 
of the twenty-four-sided Jerusalem
forever on fire

Cards Shuffle

New to arrive
(this is default when late)
Is a writhing mass screaming 
NERVES
inside.
The exterior is wide eyes.
But in the past,
much, much worse.
Today what I'm wearing
reflects not my feelings,
but
YOURS.
My face placates
with cool even gazes.
I can see mirrors
trade places 
with each one of your 
FACES.
A deck of cards 
in the hands
of a well practiced dealer.
Performing the shuffling
hypnotic and precise.
The hands smirk as
the cards are flicked
flying to you.
Now you are seconding guessing
THE GAME.
You are thinking
maybe dice would have been better.
Play your hand, now.
Others are placing their eyes on your head,
holding their place as they wait.
For you to see what the cards said.

Sensationally senile sedentary solid senators
solemnly, sincere, seriously self-serving
sanctifying, seconding, seeking senatorial reelection

Sophistication should always include a spoonful of spotless spontaneity
Shamus shivered, silently seconding Sheila’s sassy sage suggestion.

Mystic Madrigal Moaning

felon fingers fiddling
fostering rustic rhythm
saucy instrument puking
mystic madrigal moaning
airy atmosphere seconding
pruning pulsing feelings

punctured pleasure littered
in atmosphere shattered
hoisted happiness battered

coda crushed crest;
mystic melody melts
at desire's death

Yucks! fingers again
revived rotten refrain.
