it flights toward the left field wall
we should attend its vector

This pen, solid black opaque void
spills out its inky soul for me
so I can decant my own
Thanks, pen, you are Christ Almighty
I will call you Hector...

let’s welcome the Cuban defector
suggesting he steer to our vector
we could send our own boat
learning Spanish by rote
then pray that he’s better than Hector....

Free trees
crass grass
flowery foyers
fun sun
spry sky
heard birds
nector hector
lovely

but

all lost and of no use

because

it is

chilled will...

Here lies Hector Amos McSpiel
Slipped on a tossed banana peel
It really was not Hector’s fault
He came down hard upon his heel
We buried him here in a sturdy vault

Here lie the remains of Hector O. Swift
Someone gave him an explosive gift
Seems Hector got quite a lift
He had no time to even feel miffed
Through his remains we had to sift

Hutzpah

Helpless humanity

Heralds sorrowful hell

Hector heaps rebellion

Henceforth his chariot

Hijacked beaten hackneyed 

Haphazardly harbours

Hopeful hutzpah no more

Curly fringes 
of yellow Roses
Nestled deep in Garden’s clutch
Tug insistent upon bumblebee noses
Teasing them in with temptress touch

Covert trade… 
Golden pollen for golden nectar
In transaction to them known not as such
With siren song and no hint of hector
A touch of sweetness…but not too much

I collect tins and bags
of coffee, Hector brings
me, for future
barter.

Some unknown calamity,
I will have all the
coffee.

Tins and bags of
gold, a hoard to
protect.

Safe passage, ammo, maybe a
scarf for a loved
one, my mind creates endless
outcomes.

I' m hoping coffee is in
short
supply.

My head burning!
My eyes turning!
Stomach churning!
It’s a new twist
Requiring a priest:
To God close enough to clear the mist
Prayers firing while holding my wrist
Or delivering right hand on my splitting head
Now, often seeking a pillow on any bed!

Or should I a doctor try?
To halt this that does my system fry?
Would a doctor
Prove the victor
Or a worse actor
And me our priests not hector?...

UNTITLED

A jug of wine
Pack of smokes
And Hector Berlioz on the hi-fi

Oh the vibrations
Broken rhythms
The now in perfect oblivion

Imagination in isolation
Smoke thick enough
To cloud the eyes      to choke

Sips of wine revive
And elicit after a spell
Go to hell!

With this attitude
Words are thrown freely
Carelessly on the paper

Amazing the results
One wonders about the greats
How much stoned poetry?

Hectors Dolphins are listed as, endangered
and a sub-species, Maui’s Dolphin are critically endangered
with only about 55 left, in New Zealand’s shallow waters
in the North Island eastern shores, is their home with borders

Hector Dolphins dorsal fin, looks like Mickey Mouse’s ear
and they are the smallest and rarest, of all marine dolphins
Their biggest threat, is being caught up in human fishing gear
and humans polluting, boat striking, developing and seabed mining...
