snowballs compacted
rolled up, stacked, frozen in place
man’s jewels, a carrot and coal
flurries cling to fur
and shaken loose, tail wagging
snowball’s freshly unfurling

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
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
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.”
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.
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

Written word by James Edward Lee Sr 2019
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
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

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.
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
I am MY TRUE SELF GOD PARTICLES- ENERGY
I was in my true self
Energy
Compiled, compacted amazingly
power composed of God particles
Energy
just such as Him
power composed of God particles
self power composed of God particles
just such as Him
Compiled, compacted amazingly
self power composed of God particles
I was in my true self power composed of God particles

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,
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
