unexploded shell
soldiers trying to defuse
silence now departs
leaving them no time to lose
heaven fights again with hell

The mini skirt walked away
The night remained unopened for 50 years
An unexploded grenade
Buried beneath the golden wheat fields of Normandy.

Every work of art has a bit of cellulite.
The perspective is off:
a comma misplaced
a disjointed ending to a play
a cracked pirouette
an unexploded ordinance
Every masterpiece has imperfection.
Observe everything from a distance.
Then flaws turn into perfection...
cellulite becomes rippled silk.

Girly Stories
There may be unexploded shells
or rats that squirm among the sordid waste.
But only girly stories each one tells
as they walk home together in their fearful haste.
Keep the children from the things that prey
on their being children day by day.

First
takeaway all that you are not
and cannot be proved
in the stark light of
the five senses.
The more you are convinced of
the more you will be self-deceived,
keep nothing that speaks
from an ajar door.
We all in the end
or at the beginning of the end
get to know what we are.
An undiscovered
unexploded land-mine
waits for us to tread upon it -
then we will know.

They just lie low
Waiting to pounce
With deadly results
On innocent people
And causing unfathomable
Mental and physical damage
These are strictly speaking
Not people with heart and soul
They are unexploded ordinance
Best diffused with bulldozers or
Unmanned air combat vehicles
But best of all a change of heart
A feat the troops of God, Allah
And other Deities might as well
Employ, if they are not complicit!

Blank verse
i'm not
here for
the riot
but to
write
it if
i can
throwing
back a can
of unexploded
tear gas because
i'm not wearing a
gas
mask
no i
know
i'm sure
my photo
is now being
shown on mass
media but i don't
need exposure
or the cover
of TIME
to tell
you
that
i'm
me
and
will
always
be me
but the
times
do change
as so do i
but
i'll
still
be
me
no
matter what's
the matter

I do not know?
The day i saw
this con man
was night
and wind
was snow
and rain
he was laughing
kicking for fun
white snow balls
and children skulls
angels like flies
were falling around...
It happened the day
I saw this man
an unexploded grenade
was left on the board
killing instantly
the drunken pilot...
That day I thought
was the end of the world
that was taken over
from the foes of God...
I couldn't think straight
i was just a teen
stuck in the middle
of a sophomoric dream...
