Short Hors Poems

the silence of wine
tart plum sharpened on the tongue —
absence of hors d’oeuvres

Fir wooden barrels

Hors d'oeuvres boxed in shells
From the kitchen fishy smells….
Red wine sautéed snails

The squirrels' desire emphatic
To airbnb in the attic
Means a landlord may leave
Hors d'ouevres in the eave
That make their guests aromatic...

Curried crawfish tails hors d'oeuvre
Moules mariniere
Fresh oysters au naturel
Some shrimp canapes
and lobster croquettes
Out fishing
Huh !...

The carefree invitation
belied the anxious creases
   in her gestures

Tense hors d'oeuvres
paraded past frozen smiles
   invisible the pale moon...

My hosts are heavenly
Diamonds in the sky
Celebrants shine, revealed
  Tuxes, tails, bow-ties

Dainty hors doeuvres
Sparkling champagne
Palatial glows the galaxy
  Bows to bygone royalty...

~     I am your craving ...


                          you devour me like madness,


          as I plunge ... your eyes     ~

death is only a scratch to the soul

This life is an hors d'oeuvre to a heavenly buffet
somebody sprinkled poison on half of the plates
and therein lies the monumental problem.

death is only a scratch to the soul...

When will I reach the main event?
I’m tired of dainty canapés
I’ve had too many hors d'oeuvres
They are getting on my nerves
When will I reach the Entrée?
When will I meet the one I seek?
My life long dining companion...

A
Flute
With the
Bubbling wine
Is tasted with the
Hors d'oeuvre and caviar
To celebrate with luxury the pleasures of life
Lavishing in a sumptuous extravagance zest that overindulge your senses

ordering
hors d'oeuvres
simple finger
food for my
delight

taking in a bit
of wasabi
opening senses
to absent scents
revealed

reveling menu
of mussels
clams and
pearls
of oysters

tastes topsy
turvy turn 
my palate to
ask red wine
with fish?...

The crispness of your knife goes snick!
Cutting up my dreams like celery, 
To make hors d’oeuvres that you, Time, pick
And gobble till you’ve swallowed me.

But while you cut, your blade will knick
Hard upon my iron bone;
It trims me to the very quick—
But still, my skull will dull its hone....

The cows, they lowed
   The sheep, they bleated
The pigs, they squealed
   Herded together tight, overheated

Squeezed into lines
   Individuality stripped
Indignity's design
   Poked, prodded, whipped

through airport corridors
  lines stretching forever
making tasty hors d'oeuvres
  for blue-uniformed beasts, however......

there's a defining source
in the small of my back
telling me to turn to new black --
the new black of knowing
and scare tactics of frowning
down on brown boys
bowling for white pins with black balls
-- big, heavy, black balls --
to the aristocrats and cats
languishing and lounging 
by pools with ice liquor
and can cold American
dos piss hors d'oeuvres...

hors d'oeuvre-- 
                                        the stroke of a pendulum
                                                booby hatch













                  inspired by a scene in a mental hospital in Kolkata, India

Evil hides behind a suit; perfectly dressed and coiffed it’s a pretty display that covers much rot.  Its hate and greed are obvious reads but, often mis-interpreted by the desperate.  Evil has its party; serving sour hors d’oeuvres to its guests; by the time they leave, they’re brainwashed.

Predators prowling;
Devouring prey, teeth rip flesh;
Everywhere carnage!

Paint me.. 
a picture of disaster
of Self pity 
of little worth

of meaninglessness 

on a cornflower blue background
and red brush strokes

signify me..

put me on canvas
on display
for all to see and
criticize

because even 
free wine and
hors d’oeuvres
will never be 
enough

this grand 
opening
isn’t for them

or even
for you
it 
is 
for
Me

I am a masterpiece...

He so longed to touch
Her peachy tanned tush
When he spied her there on the beach

Lusting from afar 
At her bikini top bra
Each boob looked like a ripe peach

Her juicy pert curves
Would be his hors d’oeuvres 
If his hand her tush he could reach

With his wife by his side
His desires were denied
If she knew, then she’d start to screech!

In the first aria he begins to hum.
This is the trace of true art and magic.
Ghostly. 
At one with the music but different and beyond. 
An hors-texte someone might say.
I ponder the enduring nature of this experience, 
this ghost of the artist, 
unbidden, improvised, unscored, not even beautiful, 
but it becomes what I listen for each time:
To search again for the traces of the dead in our lives....
