following a nasty bite

screamed since some find funny

me mauled by a bunny

all get to work late tonight.

The regional manager called 
Embarrassed and rightly appalled 
When we pick up drugs
They won't treat us like thugs
But give hugs so we don’t feel mauled

Defining the borders 
with guilds,

a body hangs on a rope 
mauled and fabled.

I am making a fool of myself 
to find your hand.

Watching the world upside down, 
the  ailing Buddha- 

was dying. I don’t own the day.
Tomorrow will not remain yours.

Now, she
Waits, 
Waiting …
Aimlessly, likes us
Under the mauled tree! 

Then, she rebuffed
Old Chinese wisdom:
“Try to live by the golden rule!”
And now, she
Dwells on a sea wave’s
Dome! o, an ugly oak!
Here, joy is
A blooming sorrow,
A tale of gloom & the frosty years!...

TRESPASSING

Here I am
Your dream girl.

I heard you say it
When you mauled
And crawled
My skin
And tore it
Of prudence, and
(nine! nine! only nine!)
Every coulda shoulda woulda
Took hold and didn’t.

And now
I am here
Because you 
Were there
Calling me dream girl.

Corrosion within a hobbling democracy
Altruism died along side a Calvary king
United we stand divided we'll get mauled
Severe stratification at the political ball
Time bomb attached to societal tumors
Insidious forces lurking about a white room
Caucuses are in the teeth of the 666 beast...

Too high
on Rye

Make pass
at Lass

Her date?
Six-eight

Out weighed
(DISmayed!)

BRIEF brawl
Get mauled...

Forsooth!
(Loose tooth)

Oh my!
(Black eye)

Behold!
(Out cold)

------------

Sunlight
Too BRIGHT

I ache
I quake

I heave
I grieve

Poor me
(Agree?)...

There once was a lion tamer named Claude

   For twenty years the cheering hordes he'd awed

      He had been bitten and mauled

         But the mad crowds he enthralled

            Alas, Claude met his doom when he was clawed!

My cat  was de-tailed in an accident
                              First she was mauled by a big elephant
                                    Then she ran on to the street
                                     And bounced over the sleet
                               And lost her tail without a precedent...

I get a little look from the guy sitting beside me.
I find I’m tapping my pencil to the cadence of the rain
I give a little “sorry” head nod and he goes back to work.

Hhmm.. I’ve chewed up my pencil again. 
It looks wood chopped or shark mauled.
Maybe I should quit university and invent flavored #2 pencils....

men & women
looking at the hills
seas, mounts, vales
green forests of city-lines
& the blue rives & dives -
are these the treasures
of crocodile shells
everywhere
life looks like smooth shadows
in a mirror of morrows
mauled in today's kisses
or some tiny egg-shells
smashed in hasty disgust
of the disjointed hours....

It was coming up, the politics
like dirty sex
in tall Parthenium grass.

The panther was hiding on a steppingstone
watching the hot, field hockey
played with skulls of peers.

Mauled, the peach skin was
entertaining sunlight in
the metaphoric village.

Prisoners of false ceilings,
we sing the anthem with
the crowd of wolves.

our raw fluids flow
flowing from her fresh blood
as marauders go a-rampage
& a youngster by her bossom
is mauled 
cut in the pieces of her broken bones
that's her remains
a skull left for inspections
the president & his white-washed
dignitaries are ever-passing by
to see
a maiden bleeding
in the foul of a nation's hub -
please, brother
speak like a gentleman!...

HUGS

The day after the Tsunami hugged the shores,
by a penitent ocean lying low,
in the beach  which lay mauled and scarred,
an old woman and a girl stood homeless and hugging 
and not far away
a  bower lay  crumpled, within which
but stood tall as always  the two-some  
of a neem and a banyan in an unshakeable hug.

A Golden Dog
Up the driveway I walked.
My dog sees me while my dad talked.
She comes and pulls me.
For the driver couldn’t see.
By the diaper she pulled.
I could have been mauled.
But now the dog is gone.
I feel like all I can do is run.
But she wouldn’t want that.
So I stopped and sat.
At times I miss that dog.
In me, she isn’t a fog.
If it’s all I know.
She will know where to go....

It started as play,
I was happy and gay,
he was keeping at bay,
but soon he began to bay,
and hot things to say,
his breath became short,
I was in a deathly mort,
he hungrily stuffed me,
and entered me,
injured me,
and bruised me,
he left a body alive,
but spirits all dead,
if I was older,
perhaps I could have bore,
but I was just a kid,
and life I had to lead much,much,much more...

Monday madness mauled my meandering melancholy mind
Tuesday tinkered tactlessly through tainted thoughtless taunts
Wednesday went without wonderful words whispered willingly
Thursday tempting taunting the tigresses to truant
Friday frivolously featured fruitful freaky fun frolics
Saturday simmered signifying sumptuous sultry spectacular scenes 
Sunday slow slovenly siesta singing sunny songs...

Trampled 
mauled emotions
seeking an escape path
reverberate heart's corridor
confined.

Released
ink of sorrow
emotions' molten flow
compose a soothing serenade
heart felt.

Tear drops
sprinkle water
refresh trampled flowers,
flowers of emotion again
blooming.

The grizzly was approaching me very aggressively,
and there was nowhere for me to run for safety,
so I took out my grizzly bear pepper spray and blasted it at him,
but just at that moment there was a very strong gust of wind,
which blew the pepper spray right back at me.
My eyes were burning and it was impossible to see.
The last thing I thought before I got mauled
was, "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all."...

Trapped on a raft
headed straight toward the falls
Unable to jump
without drowning then mauled 

The current unyielding
the banks close but far
New crafts sit there waiting
as destiny gnarrs   

The raft builders pointing
their fingers of blame
From one to the other
in shouts that disclaim 

Till that final moment
when lost in the mist
Goes down in the mayhem
— as lackeys insist

(Goodbye Joe: July, 2024)

Tryst with enemy
bakes the earth.
I am standing firm on dust of times
with rising threat. In vloaks, under the fading
moon they had come,
plundered my yard of truth and blackened
the face of an ancient statue of sun god.

The terror walks on streets
sequencing the genome of unborns
in womb; soot was settling in the lungs
of windows. Tomorrow night word by word
memory will be mauled, uncovering
the pyramids of fear.

This life for the most since these eyes can remember 
Her light of day has seemed no less, a tortures chamber
Psychologically, mauled in maimed ? Everyday awakening 
Unto their very same chains his scenes, round about; within 
What always was; is ? A #ucked up world filled, with #ucked up 
Things and no wonder, figuratively speaking that, Heaven's Messiah.... 
Did so tell Lucifer that he could shove this place tightly, up his literals ass....
