Short Girding Poems

Cruel  and tight knots,
  all them girding my  poor heart...
  when we are apart...!...

BLUE RING

blue girding green eyes
pretty good guess it’s my age
— another wrinkle

mystic mind moaning
voluptuous veins vying
hoisted heats hankering
squeezing salient sanity
girding gaunt ice
veiled by vice

hollow joints jangling
eerie echo smirking
felon fun flickering

drooling darkness dances
drooping over vices;
salient silhouettes sketches

on and on
smeared space gnawl.

Trotter's words are his deeds
girding the Earth
in great magnetic lines
of universal intent.

In Ward's ritually upraised palm
we see the symbol Coriolis
south draining left
north draining right

Into the realm of Neptune
via the cisterns of Rome
down the ancient river Po
to wicked storms at sea

Into vortices the poet's passport
falls as a man overboard
all its pages torn
one by one....

God

grants me

graciously

goodness’* blessings

gearing me to serve…

guarded from faithlessness.

Greatly governing my heart

God’s love grips me eternally

girding up my assured salvation…

glowing gloriously with my gratefulness!

*Psalm 107:8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

It was one-off.
I will not punish myself 
again for brazen, stone writing,
girding the aneurism, after
a long siege.

An entire night was lost 
in repairing the blue vase.

You want to cut off the coalfield.

The gloom plunges deep. A 
swallow tweets for a passerby.

In the heart of darkness,there was 
the fire, a purple flame, ready 
to suckle the unborn sun.
the grass breaks the rock.
I pray for the burns.
