Bagpipes warming up

Beating heart’s bell rung
Stench of vermillion bat dung
Pink sandpaper tongue

Wiping my butt with sandpaper
shredding the skin off my cheeks
inhaling my own fecal vapor 
i bleed from my butt crack for weeks...

she's
such a beach
sandpaper feet
floating on ocean 
dreams laying back
so relaxed that i want
to sleep together with
her on our water bed...

O' Serenity
A good morning meow
With sandpaper kisses
On a cheek or chin 
The touch of a soft caring paw
That is the way
For a day to begin...

Self-flagellated sinuses
Sandpaper swallowing
Sinuous snot surmounted sneezes
Strange sultry speech sounds sexy
Stupid sickness
Saturdays should be savored....

Heavily, darkly, cracked by light and
 splintering shadows, cracking,
   scratching out thoughts like
     sandpaper grit,
       popping on the creases of my mind....

A three ply loo roll felt rather glum

They do not say thanks when they wipe their bum

But now it's a hero

We're down to zero

Sandpaper makes the bottom rather numb

your sweet voice
trumpets through
the 
Celtic green air
but
where
to find 
Regina’s fresh eyes 
the wild scent of 
her maple brown hair
leads the curious heart  
to your  natural
sandpaper blues eyes...

Hard-working, calloused hands 
firmly imprint ridges upon my back.
Your sandpaper face, like a fine file, 
smooths against my neck gently.
Like your rugged bristle terrain, 
my arm hairs stand erect.

Sandpaper linen-
embroidery in pallid hands.
Spirit-thin webs of trees:

pristine; honored.
Ashen bones under cotton
sky. Finger inflamed 

sugar-soft feathers.
Snow, tingling, starts to cling.
Immaculate hues....

Ripping the air
in shreds between us
the curve of your ass
couldn't be found in molten glass dribbles
objecting to breathing
Velcro lips
bone on hip
fingers slipped
on a strippened tongue
sandpaper groan
don't go don't......

Lightly scuff the seeds with sandpaper or a file 
and soak overnight. Then plant in the ground 
or in containers or both.  If in the ground,
mark the spot so you remember where you 
planted as some may wait until Spring to 
germinate. Good luck....

No more swastikas -
you're with Daddy now.
When father sneezes,
Dachau odes are sprayed
onto sandpaper.

Linen tissues
glaze his black horns.
Dish rags polish
obtuse pitchforks.

Papa squirms
in a bag
full of God.

Achoo!
Ach, du

Die!...

Real poets don’t make lasting friends
they shun fraternity
Their truth like gritty sandpaper
abrasive when intoned   
The reader may be gratified 
with what the words uncover
More likely though the pain involved
— will cut them to the bone

The repetitive saw of metal against metal,

The bashing of steel for designs,

The whir of the copper polished

And the hiss of the patina finished.

The file and sandpaper rasping on the brass

The noise all around

The hammers they pound,

As we create our own sound....

Sandpaper eyes
Force me to sleep
Alive and alone
In an open prarie
My wicked thoughts
To dream away
Thinking of ways
To begin my demise
A slow painful death
I wish to pursue
Not a gunshot
Or a fire
Just wretched words
Spat from his mouth
To make me think
And finally die...

I’d love you less if you were here
crowding my dorm bed, nibbling me, 
rubbing me like sandpaper

I’ve come this far all by myself
I am a stone, leave me alone

Let’s keep it nonchalant
don’t kiss me on the lips
don’t label this a situationship
because then one of us would need to care...

TRUMPETER
Sandpaper comments,
Intolerant, indignant,
White House jihadist.

UN denier,
Mega-tweeter, Putin’s pal,
Friend of common man?

Hair like swan feathers, 
Lips pursed in a brassy kiss,
No friend of Dizzy.

What Reveille wakes
Billionaire soldiers of change.
Your new president....

In this bathroom of Dr. Heath's,
The tissues so tough you grit your teeth.

No soft toilet paper anywhere to be found,
By the time you get through, how does Charmin sound?

You wipe with sandpaper til you bleed,
Soft toilet paper your bottom will need.

In this kit, relief  you will find
From toilet that is much more kind!...

brown rounded bodies
like shiny river pebbles
tumbling and leaping
with arms outstretched
sunlight gleaming on polished skin
sparkling orbs of water
splashed high in the air
the glint of sunlight
on copper bracelets
sand covering wet bodies
sandpaper children
with faces lifted to an African sky
footprint patterns in wet sand...

Softly the pitter patter 
Peaceful melody of purrs,
filling your soul with laughter  
furry four legged treasures;

meowing their words of love
blinking 'Hello'  with their eyes,
punching  your heart like a glove 
staring at you from up high;

pouncing softly to your lap
a joy to watch each caper,
right before taking a nap
sweet kisses of sandpaper....
