Premium Member How much phosphorus in a human body

How much positive phosphorus is in a human body?
I hear the facts in tiny whispered scientific snatches
Stated by a biologist named Mr. John T. Roddy
Each of us has enough to make twenty-two hundred matches

How To Paint a Bomb

Phosphorus scent
across the maternity ward in
the tremor of morning's vapor;
Grey on white --
a shade which makes
the sound of explosion
new brush on history's canvas,
a hot exhaustion of lungs to the brim
and spent cycles of discontented sighs.

Emergent light

The rain falls in a cascade,
myriad droplets dancing—
a lilt of rain slithers,
serpentine around my skin—
a whisper of hope in the dusk.

In the garden,
the lunar sky still shines.
Through the nebula’s haze,
a new star is born,
a spark of phosphorus glowing,
guiding a way out of the dirt,
like the spark in my own heart.

Forbidden Fruit

W e are out of toilet paper I say! I’m gonna do my business outside beneath an apple sapling. That I may return a little phosphorus and nitrogen to the soil I have been so content to rob. And Years from now I’ll know that some bastard generation grows yet, sprung not from my loins, but thereabouts at least

Summer Seashore

Hot August nights - the heat stands still
Starfish on beaches wait for tidepools to fill

Summer phosphorus - stardust on tides
Leaves sparkling footprints - on seashores abides

Rippled sands meet with a sly rogue wave
Steals kisses from the shore - stargazer knave.

Premium Member The Gang of Six

Listen to poem:
In nature's design, six is the key to all life alive.
Hexagons in petals, snowflakes, and beehives thrive,
In music, blues and roots groups play the six-stringed guitar.
With songs made with a hexatonic blue note, added to each bar.
Six key chemical elements there when life first sprang
Were the notorious Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Sulfur, Phosphorus gang.

Scars of Life

Want to shed the knowledge
far from the strings
and becoming myself again.

Can you catch the time
slipped from your hands
when you were chasing the tiger ?

Phrases were still burning
like white phosphorus
on my forehead.


Where do I take
the burden of centuries wasted
in unnatural drums ?

It was inside you, the violence
of world, yet you want to survive
without scars.

The Phospholipid Bilayer

The phospholipid membrane
has a rhythm to it;
integral proteins interrupt,
but vesicles slide through it.

It's fluid, wavy, effortless;
Ziploc can't compare
to technology in biology.
Machines don't craft with care.

Its oscillating phosphorus
and swaying lipid tails
put on a micro-spectacle
for those minds that flail.

The beat of homeostasis,
kept constant by diffusion,
depends upon the bilayer,
which is a clear illusion.

Seashore Summer

Humid August nights and the heat stands still
Starfish trapped on beaches wait for low tidepools to fill 
                                 ~
Summer phosphorus float like stardust on the tides
Then leaves a sparkling footprint on seashores to abide.
                                 ~
Rippled sands can't wait to meet a sly and bold blue wave
Who steals kisses from the shore - a stargazer knave.

Black and White Portraits

A flicker of the lens, a shutter in a box
 and light becomes storyteller 
shadow becomes shaman.

enameled faces held
 fastened in a 5x8 frame
 fill the pages of albums, the
 carbon copied souls are kept like 
dried leaves pressed and flattened.

 they germinate through the years, 
 growing in wisdom, the inanimate vapors 
 yielding such a happy set of ghost.

while black ink corrosively set
 upon phosphorus turns in it's elements 
speaking in still life a thousand words.
