Listen to poem:

Frothing, frigid fjords
Fling forth fine stippled
Salmon, streaking upstream.
Roe-rich fish, flashing
Fat and fulgent:
Spurred to spawn, to spurt
Then sputter -- spasmodic.
Spectral. Unspared....

it's a motel room
sunrise, sunset, happy, orange sun
some such 
off the interstate
in
bum 
florida

my spasmodic hercules
I work pretty hard to make it a hercules,
anyway

with bulls & boars & eighty six
bras

and a bottle of evan williams
wine...

Wrestling with his conscience
Abstaining from verbal exchange
Regretting his words

Offended by obscenities
Forgetting his ticket

What is happening now?
Obnoxious little men
Rallying in no mans land
Dire Consequences
Spasmodic verbal abuse.

Here and there 
Everywhere
Like an exhalation

Here and there
Everywhere
Spasmodic Hiroshimas

Here and there
Everywhere
Ash in wings of foam,
Sandal-less dodders
Violently envious of
Fallen leaves

Transience naked 
Here and there
Everywhere-

Nowhere 
The eel...

Its wild and woolly outside tonight

The wind is blowing a mighty gale

The trees are loudly whispering sweet nothings

Or whistling mournful tales


The rain is indecisive 

Spasmodic in small bursts

The thunder lazy and quietly rumbling

No desire or energy to exert...

Amazed with all in soup made curious, 
sets a fiery spark fast and furious. 
Shark set its mark on a group; 
developed spasmodic croup, 
left most combative and delirious.

My Functional Movement Disorder
Turned me into a performer.

My body becomes jerky,
And I move quirky.

My arms  move spasmodic,
Onlookers may think I am neurotic.

But I am not foolish or silly,
This disorder will not kill me.

So if you see my jerks,
Know they are now my quirks....

.


The shattered stare of the war-shocked
float and fade in the medic's head,

the spasmodic throes of the dying,
the sickening stench of the dead.

He trudges on through bloodied mud,
seeking out the lost and the wounded,

dazed in the gray haze of gunpowder,
slain before the battle even started!

Ever since
Life is spasmodic
A broken realm
Of high and low tides

Ever since
There is no one to count
But pellucid self – 
Merging into oblivion 

Ever since
Time is clocking
Years surrender
To abundance of blame

Ever since
It’s unfinished wars
With narcissistic powers
That reign the rule 

Ever since
I have amassed wisdom
That life is too short
To invoke justice...

My gait spasmodic
I staggered drunkenly
My inner voice a thousand tongues
Of crazed cacophony

In mumbling incoherence
My muddled mind benumbed
I sought the words I fumbled for
As if I were struck dumb

But sentence was unstructured
And thought was compromised
Were I to even form a word
Complexity – be mine

The Thought took hold – though – 
In shape – and form – and slowly
I expressed in words
What only wise men know –...

Tears flow in torrents,
spasmodic gulp and shiver,
I weep aloud when haunted by some moonlight ghost resemblance
my dead cousin’s fleeting angel halo to the fore.
Shrouded in a haze of mournful rupture,
knowing that our deepest wounds precede the grim acknowledgement of threadbare memory,
feeble consolation as we quietly sulk.
We dull persistent ache with fond ephemera,
evanescent lifespan’s meek recall for bygone echo,
a funeral cortège hymn beneath our mortal passage....

Wonderful Beauty
To See The Hummingbird Seeks
Sweet Nectar Of Life.

Flower To Flower
Flying Across In The Blue Sky
Singing So Proudly.

Ruby-throated Are The
Prettiest And Cute Hummingbird 
Whizzing Wings Are Blur.

Chitter Chatter Chat
Through Rapid Dance Of Her Wings
Spasmodic Little Bird.

Peering Into The
Heart Of The Each Nice Flower
The Flying Jewel Sips.
