Twitching Poems - Poems about Twitching

my dogs are confined now

...dog’s nose is twitching
whatever he’s smelling, I am missing
dog next door barks ferociously
my dogs used to run toward the fence
they have a pen now
there is less running
they have been thwart...

Gunner

...
Gunner

What has woken you, Gunner? What is it you hear?
Can you sense the beat of heavy engines drawing near?

There’s been no alert, Gunner, the lads are all at ease.
...

The possession of a mad man is the only terror

...It started soft and slowly
With only shallow things
An itch or twitch or swallow
But kindly not from me

The walls would twist and turn at night
And I’d be seeing things
A pillow to hold a cho...

Mantenna

...Lately my mantenna are twitching more than usual folks
the prophecies are surely uncloaking
time to batten down the hatches
the second flood is lapping on the doorstep
clutch your loved ones to y...

Not God's Image

...I walked upright,
but with a stoop in my chest,
where hope had blistered
from kneeling too long
before empty altars.

If you were made first,
then I was a second draft
in blood and rot,
the ...

Chamber of Becoming

...We laid our breath
in the cold dish of morning
not to warm it,
but to watch it vanish.
The way ghosts do.

You struck the match inside me
with a tremor,
like forgiveness
forgot to be kind.
...

Frogs in Heaven

...If I ever find my mind in a sermon from heaven
Or ever blind as a frog in a broken earthen oven
I’d hop my hump back down to earth   
And yawp my stump for a crown of worth

Real heaven can exis...

Self Cook

...Sun burns
Skin turns 

Red raw
And sore

Next curse
Much worse

Shaking
Sweating

Twitching
Itching

Scratching
Whinging

Dying
Crying

Peeling
Spreading

Heat stroke
No joke...

Journey On The Edge II

...When I was 16 my face suddenly froze,
As I passed out in my friend's arms,
I was laying there, face turned rose.
I awakened, memoryless, then recall harms.

When I was 23 I was very far,
But I ...

Laika

...They called it a seat,
but it was a cradle of fire—
metal-wrapped, bolted shut,
no window,
just the hum of wires
and the memory of old Moscow snow
still clinging to your pads.

They fed you w...

The Cost of Closeness

...
It’s hard to tell if they’re playing tag,
or thrusting nectar-drunk love at each other—
mid-June attempts at getting it.

Maybe they’re fighting over first flowers—
legs twitching in hypoglyce...

Snack O'Clock

...There once was a sandwich, quite absurd,
who dreamed of speaking every word.
One morning crisp, it woke and cried,
“Oi! Who nicked my clock?” it sighed.

The chef just blinked, his whiskers twit...

Purpose or Obliteration

...I dreamed I was inside a bulb—
a cathedral of filament and glass—
not dead
not born…..
but shumming**.

Glass walls curved like time
sealed but translucent

my fingers curled around ...

Glass

...mother, I’ve been twitching in your sky with chains
masturbating to a blood shot stain 
you crawl like I want to
melt to bone and blue 
you float like angels do
when I touch for ecstasy and blee...

Night Terrors

...Running down Chicago Ave barefoot brain buzzing hymns and static, neon crucifix blinking above a bodega, the gospel of smoke and piss, all-night diner flickering with ghosts of jukeboxes past—she lau...
