Short Quadrants Poems

In merely four lines
Four quadrants of words,
We see great minds!
Smallest voices are heard!...

I looked for love in all quadrants
scroll all imaginary routes
  only calculated the perimeter of solitude...

He stays high above
In quadrants pretty unknown
Where love, joy exists as one
Below she looks up
“Save me from the end,” she pleads
He says, “Save me, I am dead”

Four Square

electrostatic dimming of sunlight
mellisonant quickening 
lightning playing four square
study quadrants on screen
kingdom come of a rainstorm
that merely whispers an awakening...

from their quadrants
quadruped
quarterfinalists
quarrelling
in quadraphonic 
quadruplicity
are disqualified
for actually
being a

tetrad
only posing
as a quartet

The circumference
Is narrower than the height
And it can take flight
But has no wings
The quadrants four
No less, no more
Is all it needs
As rhythm bleeds
Four chambers 
-four halls
Yet no walls
Fleetingly occupied
Stabbed
And often broken
By simple words
Softly spoken...

deep in the trenches
a forest of cardboard trees
and  stained glass windows
twiddling pieces through fingers
sizing up like private eye

a piece here…and there
like a long drawn out story
finally middle latched shut
and made the sign of the cross
now I aim for the quadrants

Sliding down the curves of a hypersurface,

Jumping from side to side of a polytope.

Slacklining between the points of a hexacosichoron, 

Spinning through the quadrants of a cartesian plane.

Reciting digits of pi, I twirl them into Fibonacci spirals.

I take comfort in the chaos, settling in the irregular regularities....

Forestry Service and Bureau of Land Management 
 I don't know, maybe this year, you do your damn job?!

Maybe this year, you anticipate the obvious trend of massive fires? 

Do you think fire lines are out of the question? Equipment pre loaded in quadrants, with watch-towers and water for extreme dry conditions?

Follow the windA**holes !-!Maybe the royal pisssTheCitizens 
are taking 
can hit you on the way out....

Substantial quadrants of hate

Throughout these veins circulate

Spiraling in frenzied states

Adrift an ailing coma


Infinite corruption clawed my corneas

Birthing the erasure of euphoria

Imprinting trademarks of memoria

Leaving in wake vile aromas



All confidence dissolved to solvents

Due to definitive involvement

Susceptible to gaunt installments

Marring my skin with melanoma



Mother Earth serves as a mime

Humanity must be refined...

East Beast At Ease, 
East Beast Freed, 
Formulas Of Evil Seed, 
Benevolent And Malevolent Deed. 
South Shadows Rise, 
Rise Shadows South, 
Barren Forms Of Drought, 
Like A Brutal Punch To The Mouth.
 West Moon Demon, 
Demon Moon West, 
The Heathen Shall Soon Rest, 
Or Again Be Put To The Test. 
North Drive Forth The Seven, 
The Seven, The North, The Norns, 
Seven North Norns, 
Temptress's Cast Horns
Lat 10*00.0'N 
Loon 010*00.0E 
Sleep No More, Awaken Assimilate!!...

Hush falls, like soft down, 
velveteen, 
the canopy of night,
when kisses rouse the tender 
nerves, 
the tips of your breasts;
sweet buds pressed hard 
against the sensing tongue.
until the rain falls 
down 
from stars and distant quadrants,
pooling violet shadows
dilated in your eyes.
A face upturned, 
porcelain,
neck arched and parted lips,
breathing sweet gasps,
whispering of love
and love’s dominion,
as this time 
suspends forever 
frozen,
impervious to the rain....
