the flesh of the sky

Have you ever
Tinkered with a crowd
You have to speak up loud
Ring a bell or
Toot your horn
Blow your whistle or
Beat your drum
Sing a song or
Just hang out
Enjoy your laughter or
Kick box your way out
To meet the unthinkable
Another great Sumo Wrestler,
In this crowd...

Poetry is a sumo wrestler in honey 
throwing chickens into the mouth of a tornado
Poetry is a magic pen that slams words down hard onto a page, 
Intriguing a mind
Who has no idea from whence she came 
Poetry is an entity with a mind of its own, 
playing with faeries and gargoyles.
Poetry is my pirate queen...

The ski jump was over ninety foot high
A Sumo wrestler thought he'd like to try
Ski's didn't fit right
Both came off in flight
And he landed on some folks passing by.

When your heart says wow on a beauty scene, what to say!
If a weak Comes out as a sumo, what to say!
A place where all hate each other,
If a flower of love comes out there, What to say!

I wish my nights and days in your arms,
Even if not with me then in dreams,
I can't blink my eyelids when you come in your window,
Don't go away baby I can't live without you!!...

The Dog 
I am a dog now tied to all the living 
not a sumo wrestler or even a boxer 
i am not a mighty man 
i am a base thing yes a thing despised 
wormy and depressed 
poor with or without sores 
wearing whatever i can find 
eating food but drinking no more wine 
i just do not have the time or inclination 
to keep money in my pocket 
to be burried with 
i am just a myth 
a person to be handled 
handle it...

Bag of spiders, I scream in awe to see!
My best collection from that pigeon pea tree
All yellow brown crawlers, they’re tiny
So cute when they hug and push their friends or enemy
Do you think they also have crab’s mentality?

My brother and I love playing spiders
On stick, they fight like sumo wrestlers
Whoever wins a spider derby will be a free homeworker
And a loser will be a certified whole week dishwasher
Do you want to join in my favorite sport with my brother?...
