They are metaphorical legitimate daughters
 metaphor of pain and nostalgia...
 that invade of us...!...

We all have that friend that feels the need
To invade your personal space when they speak
I don't need to smell your breath
To hear what you said
There's one in every group
Space Invaders...

They were in touch 
with the natural world 
and still are 
Their lives were shattered 
by the invaders
Yet hope remains
Their poetry sing out to all
who are open to it 
Peace, power, and love
Touch the sky and be renewed...

The lion in me wants to roar my truth
tearing the invaders apart with her teeth and claws
the lamb in me holds back.
reluctant to show her hooves,
knowing the value of being understated
and waiting before reacting
I hear the lion roar....

professional home invaders don’t rob family homes
when they see signs of children they back off
because children are unpredictable
not socialized like grown ups
so put some toys in your driveway
and balloons in your window 
to remain safe...

Corona Virus
Is like invaders of Earth
Zapping all it comes 
In contact with and 
Spreading itself wider and 
Wider…killing all.

Will we kneel to it
Or create our own world wide  
“Independence Day?”

Fleshy stems
Pointed thorns
No leaves
Watery stems
Jelly-like
Abundant growths
Piled up like a statue 
Prickly thorns
Weapons for the invaders
Flowers only emerge in old age 
A stunt surprise
For men's ignorance
Who are a land king
But not a desert king...

Radar plays out Space Invaders;
Yellow, red: they swarm our base.
Thunder booming like a cannon;
Batten hatches, just in case.
Rain is falling at the moment;
We need at least an hour more.
Drop the shields, lower defenses;
Come on in, clouds - time to score!

Skeleton fingers unravel the night-
Fright takes hold of me.

Skeleton fingers that grasp by the throat-
Broke are my sanity's seams.

Skeleton fingers, invaders of dreams;
Reams upon reams of realities scream,

As skeleton fingers away steal our stars.
From afar, we watch and cower....

Word-hoards fall from mouth-cups
out along roads, out along seas:
faith migrates; sayings run away; verbs escape; 
nouns meander as memes in other tongues.

Invaders’ words intrude on empires, spill 
cream that soaks our souls, leave 
bones of meaning
lying around.

Etymologists 
will tour 
and devour.

Listen to poem:

Buyer Beware 
David J Walker

The Earth is our patient host
And we are the guests
Feasting freely in a full pantry  
Steeling the linen 
Calling our neighbors invaders
Demanding justice to fortify our
Positions and satisfy our ambitions
Enforcing the bowing and kneeling
But buyer beware
Earth has its own practice 
Of healing...

He sensed the presence before he saw it
Taking out the glowing katana he gave chase

At exhilarating speed through the sleep town
The presence eluded him taking to the skies

The rural village for now will stay safe
From the influence of dark invaders

The people will be safe and live on
No official record of the event will exist...

What’s a cell without its membrane?
A bulbous mass of uhck?
A strung-out sea that’s ever-expanding?
An ugly pile of gook?

Does it know where proteins go?
Are signals always mistook?
Do organelles discombobulate
And invaders overlook?

Can it feel? Can it fathom?
Does it know which way is up?
Is a formless blob of matter
Anything but gobbledygook?...

the archaeologist stood 
on the original floor
above her was laughter
loving and war

the archaeologist stood
at the foot of a pit
beside broken lepers
and gentlemen sit

the archaeologist stood
in the ditch of a moat
where bloodied invaders
and townsfolk would float

the archaeologist stood
to her knees among bones
of all history's people
in all of their homes...

parrying street space invaders
with restive vinegar smiles
their incessant bip bip bip
countering my spilling step

us, at opposite ends
past coffee shops
past drug stores, calling
to each other in the rain

. . . gargoyle heads
. . . busy bullets
. . . grotesque faces
. . . level boss

and soon gum concrete
turns to gentle ambient wood
back where I left you
barking...

Pillage and plunder, have your fill
Indifference to my screams as you kill 
Living with the guilt, though you forget 
God hasn’t forgiven. No, oppressor. Not yet. 
Realistically we had this land, it was already discovered. 
I alone founded it. Leif found us uncovered. 
Me and mine treated it well and the planet loved us. 
Spanish crusaders, English invaders, now my land shrugs us....
