Here in my head your
voice was fragmented into 
pixels of strangeness....

Poet is somewhat suicidal
       spills and cuts the soul
    in each bitter verse he writes...

Today
seized
captured
in a poem
after the eclipse
and the strangeness
feeling powerless
God, handle's his business....

On a cold metal riser
Sixty feet above the dark strangeness of a city
Two good friends wearing overalls and hard hats
Played chess
On an eagerly anticipated lunch break...

She is the sea ...
I'm river

 deeply...
we enter  ourselves...

strangeness

She is the sea ...
I'm river
stroking her ...
stroking me
we melt ...!...

Got haircut today, like a whole new man
Resembled a bushman, people stared then ran
Considered me dangerous
Coz of my strangeness
But still gentle as a lamb, not a scary bushman...

Translucent living
Signs of a screaming wild man
Brought forth thru glimmering shades
Skull larger than norm
Primitive style of lost life
Strangeness etches from his loins

crisp
cool
rather crunchy…

shredded
odd
quite zesty…

Oh
Boy
Gimme!

anytime-anywhere
picnic finally complete

styrofoam bowl
lending firm yet gentle support

containing
the White Strangeness…

more please...

In Nebraska, a replica of Stonehenge is revealed
Called Carhenge, it's formed from vintage automobiles
Who thought of this
Some kookie old fish
His strangeness emerged which had long been concealed...

Take a
Trip to
The holes
In heaven
War without
A war to win
But these
Spaces between
It’s rapidly
Out laying lines
A magnamonious
Expansion
Left places
Between
Hollows
In heaven
Strangeness
Contained
In a coin...

After the commotion and the grave,
All that's left is the quiet.
And to listen but only hear
The strangeness of the night.

When all is gathered up
It seems almost the same.
As love is swept away
And the heart not used again....

You call me weird eccentric odd too different 
still I am me
colors are constant through seasons
no one can repaint this scene
the panorama of glamour
you see will forever be
so please take this here instruction
and get accustomed to me....

Petite dear ..
Nowadays are normal
Inhabited by the vacuum , noise and boredom
And the language demilitarized rain
Nowadays wearing monotony
Is it possible, my dear ..??
Can ask from your breast to visit me ??
I want to give me ..
Share of strangeness...

Once upon a time in Africa
Dark-land eloped Europe
Then he divorced her face

Now its a bride of a strangeness
But a cannily mystery is alert
Watching from tree-top it is

Its tongue belching flame fire
Arms of thorns extended
Yet children continue to slumber...

This is anger..
This is indignation..
This is lividity..

This is red.

The darkness fades away in my rearview mirror while I stare ahead at a brilliant white light.

In the strangeness of the grey that I pass behind I notice the delicate scribbles of faint red lines....

unseen in forests
creepy crawly things slither. . . 
inhabiting night

miles from the black woods
bolder creatures (upright) flit. . . 
whooping in the streets

woods seem eerier
towns' garish beasts seem wilder. . . 
and strangeness prevails

The divide between my neighbour and me,  
The strangeness that makes us strangers,  
The silence that echoes our unspoken words,  
The books that those words create.  
We turn through the pages in the loneliness of separation,  
The unhealthy world we inadvertently build.

OUR TABLEAU

A tableau of us,
you and me, smiling. 
My smile hiding pain
being near you, yet
so far, our strangeness.
Wish knew yours, Mama!

Listen to poem:

Small Talk Delayed 
David J Walker

The days dawn falling in 
Uncertain brokenness 

Strangeness 
came in waves 
of multicolored
Cool sunrays 

Nothing would be the same
		He said
But nothing ever is 

Instead 
	Of small talk delayed

The gardener went about 
his business
Pruning the garden...

familiarity
comfort found amidst strangers
strangeness strangely absent

---------------------------------

crossed paths in lives past
flames passed, candle to candle
against odds eyes meet

----------------------------------

flesh greets immortal
eternity embraced
souls re-united...

Revealing my nakedness
Showing everyone my business
Somehow I'm still faceless
Like a book with blank pages
Might as well be talking from my anus
Hey miss!
I think you dropped this
She don't bother with lowlifes
Because she's socially famous 
I should've just stayed secluded
In all my rhyming strangeness...

Setting here listening
To the sounds of the 
Music that flows from 
My computer
Contemplating the 
Strangeness of human 
Relationships 
How one day it all can 
All but disappear almost 
With out a single trace of 
Ever existing 
How the heart can love one 
Day and hate the next 
Human emotions are a very
Fickle foe...

Angel of our lower sphere,
homespun hair like summer-
burned field-grass falling 
over your face as you bend 

to your guitar – do you 
sometimes slur the words?
What strangeness takes you, 
by moments, beyond yourself
 
away from earth where we 
wait here listening? Is God
listening along with us?
Sing before you go....

Listen to poem:

Moon & Sun
David J Walker

Sleepless 
nameless
The strangeness of life

Seamless 
Dauntless 

A man
	A wife
And a child named 

For the course of time
	Yet to come

In the tallied sum
of giving
	of taking
Of rethinking
	Of remaking 

The meaning of 
Outcome 

One child born to
Become
The moon 
The other 
	The sun...
