Sticks

Sticks made up of 
only bitterness and 
resentment felt about 
most things rule 
Elmwood Reserve. They’re terribly great at 
gymnastic feats needing 
great skill, fast movement, and, 
of course, 
balance.

Do you remember that day,
when I found you in my way,
and I asked you to play,
you said no way,
I want to stay ,
because I really need to pray,
so,no body in my way is going to play
every body say that im fantastic,
cause I like gymnastic,
but no body is romantic,
so, no body in my way is going to play...

In chambers lodged
stretch thy hands
...oh sorcerer
wide spread with staff
and golden garments.

Speak thy vowels...
sulfuric spells
in broken language
high-pitched
as thunder.

Silent in corners shadowed
behind thee...rests
initiates
vulnerable in view of
gymnastic magic!

you are watching
paying attention
is that how it is done

start with a kiss
working your way down
will her screams fill the air

in a dark room
seeing with your hands
can you find the right spot

licking flicking
articulate tongue
will a word be spoken 

moaning loudly 
fire deep inside
is his hose long enough

bending backwards
gymnastic marvel
will she earn perfect 10...

It needs to be populated,
needs a landscape, skyscape
or seascape
some gymnastic escape
into a cloud-forming poem.

Mind meanders,
it picks up diamonds and garbage
from its endless highways.
Mental are the minders
of our inner fires.

Space to be filled
made to talk
from a universal nothingness.
Finger-painting moments.

Populations emerge
over a dim horizon
walk until almost seen,

then too often they turn
only to walk away....

Ethereal poetic musings 
create celestial visions,
like a gymnastic athlete 
with lively coloured ribbons,
renewing life as circles of light 
swirl into exotic symbols.

Lights flicker as cameras 
flash to perpetuate the scene,
holding spectators captive 
with astounding imagery.

Celestial visions overwhelm 
sensations ne’er forgotten.
Especially when she hugged him
And kissed him over and over again.
Till I wake up.  Was it a dream?
Or was it just a sensation?

Nadia Comaneci 
Gymnastic Queen
Olympic starlet
Romania's dream
 
Montreal summer
As this young girl bloomed
Three Gold Medals
Young boys swooned
 
Moscow 1980
Another two Golds won
For this Romanian girl
The darling one
 
America bound via Montreal
This young gymnast stool so tall
Her dance routines, amazing and hip
From her somersaults, to her back flips
 
She was one of my idols
When i was in my teens
Her Perfect 10
Has to be seen
 
" Dedicated to Nadia Comaneci "...
