Amputation

The door shuts lightly behind me


soft click


metallic boundaries


I turn around to see,
that you are the one that closed it. 


And I swallow


a storm.

Sparkle

in my compound eye

is a sparkling world

of diamonds and

scorpions

christmas tree tinsel

metallic ticker-tape

parades

every day

I make a point

to see


Orange or Silver?

There once was a coat metallic silver,
Style it wrong and you’d surely shiver.
With a leather sliver,
And a morning breeze quiver,
The tattered orange would be quite the giver!

DREAM

ALL METALLIC 

LIKE THE COOLER PLANETS 

MUST BE

ALL SOOTHING HELL 

SUFFUSED WITH SIN

AND THEN GO

There's a 
half-orange shoved in the 
greening distance that's burning the edges of cotton; 



or perhaps it’s 
a     fat      coin     that's 
rusting under the metallic weight of oxygen…

For me/your metallic/radium stun
Permeating pupils/my forever rising moon
Nightlight/keeping my suppositions alive
The chemical/cooling my mind
Boiling inside/my pining/my spine

On Christmas Eve




    The fireplace glows, metallic papered
    covered gifts await.
    Our loving relatives, coming in, through
    our sparkling, lighted gate!

I Am

I am loud
I am calm
I am nothing
I am everything
I am underground
Loud metallic grunge
I am mainstream
Soft up beat fun
I am classic
Strings emotions sung
I am lost
I am found
I am created
I am sound

Breakfast

Why is this cold metallic straw in my mouth.

It makes my body shake with fear,

and tears roll down my face.

. . .and still, it remains here.

I hate the taste of lead,

but maybe today, It's my food for thought.

At First Light

Cockerel talk again
Raging debate about the hour

A metallic crackle, that familiar hiss
And once again a ceramic kiss

As dawn cleans the slate of night
Yesterdays dishes belong in the sink

Truth comes at first light.

Many others claim it's money
yet I respectfully disagree.
The root evil has a name
and the real name is Greed.

More for Me is Satan's bait
Though many fail to think.
The true root of Evil
Is not Paper with metallic ink.

King Chrome

king chrome rolling

platinum tyrannosaurus

rex with your baby

teeth showing spaceship

bomber takes on all

comers metallic rhinoceros

slowly going down the street

like a silver baby tank

king chrome rolling

I Am a Robot

Icy cold
metallic
clinical, calculations
stiff, sharp movements
 
With strength like god
and no morality to stop you
from tearing
this world
apart
 
Do you dream?
or do you only
think
solve
and destroy?
 
You beautiful,
cold, monster.

Bronze, green, gray
shocking pink, metallic red
purplish rose, white,
metallic greenish black,
brown, iridescent colors

Oh! Unlimited palette

I fail to mix colors
to capture beauty
of nectar drinking fairy
that flirts with light

Falsely Alarmed

A simpleton mewls.
Streams of martyrdom
sate white porcelain.
Sins and suffering
hover like pumice.

Pruned fingertips
scratch metallic
drain passages
seeking escape.

Dread subsides
as bubbles
vanish and

whimpers
simply

laugh.

Stray Voltage

a stray voltage 
fluctuates in 
the atmosphere
lightening bolts
flashed everywhere
through 
his 
metallic head
and
transplanted brain
oh my
the 
experiment failed
and
Frankenstein is dead
or
did 
i
create the monster, Frankenstein

Filing For Divorce

Agony, bitter contempt.
Destruction, eternally forgotten. 
Gasping, hindered instincts.
Just killing lilies. 
Metallic needles overture perfected. 
Quiet raindrops splash underneath. 
Vulnerable wasteland. 
X-chromosome, Y-chromosome, zero-defect!

Jaw Harp Blues

listen to 
her galaxies
the far away
her slow dances

listen to 
the near and here
her melancholic
atmosphere

in what a world
may androids sing
metallic voice
or sheer the wind

yet I, the wind
oh restless be
and still, my harp
still me

Flight of the Sailfish

At the end of this 
Fishing line,
We captured
A metallic blue
Sailfish, with
Blazing red eyes
He thrashes
Fin and tail
Against the
Pull of these
Ocean hands
In the vastness of
These raging waters,
He refuses
To become bounty,
Aboard this
Sacred vessel

Cutting Deep

Paper-thin, metallic blue deepening further, slicing down, across from bone to bone. 
Garnet rivers, pooling into oceans, staining... Screams, screams fade “CALL AN 
AMBU..l..a....” (gone). A single response, a tear, gliding down... swift, before fading to 
black.

He Gave Me a Quarter

He gave me a quarter
A small, metallic token
Of our friendship together
Not shiny and new
Rather a little worn
But worth the whole amount
Nonetheless
He slid it across the table
Asking me to place it
In my pocket
I plan to keep it
I never want to spend this coin
