    laze in sun -
    market day dawns...

Fattened for christmas dinner
Plump and succulent....

The warmth of her hand
I enjoyed  every cold night
fattened me as pig...

I tip-toed onto the grass a meek little lamb to be fattened up by the farmer,

I shall leave the field a strutting lion with the farmer in my stomach...

A fat flouncy funky flunky house sparrow bobs and bows his way tacking like a clinker built  

dingy sailing across our sea of grass catching worms fattened by May's sun and showers ....

Thus
They flee
Absconding
In guiltless flight
On fattened feathers
A pointed arrowhead
Guided by some hidden force
Returning to their beginnings
Arcing slowly over icy peaks
Circling the history of their valley...

Through the fog of tedium
My thoughts turn to you
You dusky seductress
Wrapped in silver sheets
Waiting to melt at my lips

I cannot resist your call
Though you lead me 
to this fattened state
I’ll readily accept my fate
I’m yours oh perfect chocolate...

Tiny lambs gamboling in the field
Wild and free with nothing to fear
But all too soon will come the day
When you are fattened up and way hay hay
Roast lamb and mint sauce for a Sunday Dinner
Poor little lamb is the loser – my tummy is the winner

September roses cling
Taunting Winter’s edge
Bask in the weary sun

Petals fall in homage
To the fattened pumpkins
Empty staring eyes

Thorns deny entrance
To sharp coyote nose
A squirrel saved

Winter waits
As beauty has her day
A cold farewell

The uniformity of death

Blue and White

Fattened out with pin stripes

Until they did not resemble 

A single shred of humanity

A ghost in all but name

Shamed and maimed

Dead behind the eye's and soul

Destined for the showers

Where cleanliness,
Is next to godliness

Meant exactly that...

Rather crudités shared between friends, than rich meat poisoned by malice.

Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred.

Double Cup my Tripple Tripple
And don't stir in a milk
Sugars 3 and creamer 4
I'd like to make a stilk

Horny steamered fattened slupe
Hands a clamoured cloupe
Barion blatter to uncouth
Bairked of plaiten mineral sluth

Made for ware on tathiered tooth
Closht decay on perished truth
Smiling draught to terrify
What all left gawking stare at WHY?...

A wild horse
freedom’s fiery flight
courage is
his nature
power to face Gaia’s moods
flaming transitions.

A stabled
steed quickly fattened
fortitude’s
broken back
long days awake memories
no longer made, stilled.

In corral
fleeting dreams arise
greet the day
breaking free
one jump and freedom anew
just keeps beckoning.

We were fed, and fattened
 By the millet strewn tales;
 Which swayed like barley in our minds.
 Those wooded bowls of grain
 That spoonfed our souls
 Warmed and filled us
 Until we grew whole.
 But they had foretold;
 The Patriarchs,
 That we’d grow old
 And as we did, we’d forget
 That once we’d eaten, like they had
 And that once, we’d too, tasted oblivion...

A Shadorma

A wild horse
freedom’s fiery flight
courage is
his nature
power to face Gaia’s moods
flaming transitions.

A stabled
steed quickly fattened
fortitude’s
broken back
long days awake memories
no longer made, stilled.

In corral
fleeting dreams arise
greet the day
breaking free
one jump and freedom anew
just keeps beckoning.

That blackie cat sat fattened 'neath the ol' pumpkin moon,

While the yummies in his tummy sang a hummy little tune,

No more twitchy, glitchy, witchy tails or mousey little feets,

For he'd gobbled all those goblins up as trick-or-treat eats!

Heels clipped and branded
falling on my face
well behind the sprinters 
in this the human race

Dirt and muck prevalent
rolling through the dust
it's not to be envisioned
stepping in mistrust

Blinders mask the problems
disguised a step or two
but when the bottle's empty
what you going to do

Stay the course real steady
pushing while the others plead
for fattened are the leaders
slowly filling up on greed...

On hillsides
far from city streets
black and white masses bound
Backs warmed by sun’s rays
Feasts of glorious
green grasses
Crystal clear barrels quench thirst
Aged bodies heaved with care
Post life parings

Thick scarlet sludge
siphoned through cement holes
Walls echo
screams of heavy hanging bodies
separated kin
Buzzing hums
rip wriggling flesh
and spill life
from their fattened bellies....

Beyond the spectrum
Those broad beams of
Light the world at both
ends marvels the sight

Yolks of eggs sweetened
By sugars luciuous kiss
Fattened by the oils of
Coconut this
Perfection of glamerious
Delicible love
I log with knowing my
Need shall be quensed
I desire its satisfying
Quality
That those without shall
Envy
Those wanttng and needing
Shall beg
That my love for sweet company
Might have me gracious enough 
To share...

Enigma

As the flesh is

Fattened with

Running rivers

Moving

Throughout it's

Streams we 

see other worlds

In other ways, always

Close-away, not far.

 Decoded in the maps

Hidden symbols on

Backs, guarded or

Attacked we 

Must uncover

Enigmatic patterns.

To reach our goals

Before there be no trace.

Of anything left but

Bones and colorful

Memories on 

Walls in halls-

Without a mind

 To Reason it out....
