Firm In Pain

My life was found in pain 
I was ransomed for a pen

Never will I permit my soul to ache 
I won't construct  the same mistake
 
I was throbbing everyday
My grief was unheard anyway

Now I will stand compacted 
My aplomb will be contracted

Warview

The war came quickly
Compacted into a 19 inch box
In full color…At 6PM every night
No re-runs, renewed every year for 11 seasons--
Sitting in semi-light watching death happen--
We waited for victory...
It never came--
We never had the nerve to cancel

Premium Member Fetch My Skimmer

Slugs and snails line the highway,
Munching, crunching, drinking fumes;
Early in the morning, late at day.

A tunnel of black ahead looms,
Feasting on diesel, ready to growl;
Into the maw a lucky one zooms.

Compacted inside the giant jowl,
Hooter poised, horsepower stalls;
Bodies meet with metallic howl.

“Fetch my skimmer, freedom calls,
Flying, leaping o’er all that appalls.”

Talent

Isn’t my talent.
Her singing, she is talented.
Me, stilted, weary.
I don’t have stuff like abilities.
Washed all that potential off.
But hers.
She could fill a soft pillow case with her voice.
Or even an air mattress.
My core.
Is rough as compacted trash cubes.
My inner voice is made of gargling.
I was talented that one time.
Fixed the toilet somehow.
But flushed my earring away.


Premium Member Wandering Leaves Fallen Tree

Where do fallen leaves go before the snow Fallings sliding slithering tutoring spiraling down to the ground Environmental meltdown Decompose composite Frozen solid Covered by snow Bio degraded re-arrange molecules particles Compacted Marsh Covered over by temperature in snow To come back in Spring as grass or rose

In the Shadow of 100 Summers

As sandy clouds coalesce Stardust pulses through the rampant current And I know not the story Of fragments washed ashore Of paltry particles filling the gaps Of golden grains compacted underfoot As ghosts that once imprinted the coast That have long-since been considered Time passes unevenly Left in a concealed crevice under the pier to be forgotten Untouched for four hundred seasons

Bagheera - the Black Cat

Black softness nestles in his sheen so fab as warm purrs vibrate his feline aura Gash-like, a red neck-sash swings a gleaming heart-shaped pendant, swaying a dangled flash. Ebon stretches as the midnight creature elongating his compacted frame, lithe. Reaching, he uncurls a bounding jaguar awake to the moon’s abracadabra

Premium Member A Wondrous Gift

One may not possess garden space dwelling in a compacted place But there’s something all can embrace that’s the sky in glorious grace. Look at clouds as they’re drifting by painting their pictures way up high Thrill to dance of birds on the wing hark their melodic twittering. There’s beauty in the rising sun or sunset as the night’s begun So do not fret o’er what was missed for the sky is a wondrous gift.

Grandma's Parakeet

tiny weight of grandma’s parakeet
on my finger
spider leg toes
bones enclosed in skin 
the curved pins the claws
that grip my finger
balancing its wiry weight
of beak and wings

the feathered fan of tail 
compacted 
pulling downward
balances the body full of webs of bones
like veins inside my eye

delicate bones

like grandma herself
thin and fragile
with holy hair
thick and white 
it fans like feathers
in my dreams

Ophelia

I feel solidified
Captured in blue-green horizon
They are eternal and faceless
My lungs; brown paper bags deflating
My milk structures are curdling
There are tiny mouths taking microscopic airs
Aerated and heavy as oxygen in a stone sphere
Gaumless and watched by black-ochre shadows circling
Compacted as mud underfoot and crushed
By reaching hands exploring my hollow flesh
Taking me further down and circles of dust
Rosaries in waterlogged,

Three Short Poems About Italy

Capri

roofless cubes, spidery with wire,
cakes of azure and enzian;
above at the Villa San Michele
Rilke smiles down at the broken beaches,
at coves of defiant waves, compacted sea

Pompeii

a chessboard of honest stones
open to a sky of hushed shouts;
we huddle in a boned frame
of another life, a stopped day

Napoli

warm and secret, olive-eyed
an infinite beauty makes a new face
as we gaze ape-like from our bus;
an act of moment
